Longer larger fart - being a vegan I can relate. Enjoyed Jesus for lease but was shaking my head at that truck driver. Who could be so clueless?

Very many good ones! I especially like the GIFs.

Hahaha
The one about getting sucked off. Was there a line?
And I cannot believe the things people do when they are driving. Really.
The one at the coffee shop is kind of slice-of-millenial-life, no?

XOXO

The waterfall picture you took is outstanding.

I used my meme stealing license to acquire a few of these.

If they stand behind me . . . I'm FLAT on the floor, hyperventilating myself into a first-class heart attack!

What a great collection! The one that looks like the cat's head is in a basket, separate from the rest of the body, is an amazing capture!

Lady M: That driver must have had to ignore some pretty alarming noises, at least. I'm guessing he's no longer in the profession.

Ricko: More to come.....

Sixpence: I doubt there was a line. People tend not to expect British Rail to deliver on extravagant promises.

I'm amazed that gal can even afford coffee after paying her hairstylist bill.

Mary K: Thanks! I took several, but some of them came out blurry. It's amazing what a profusion of green there is around there -- the air is constantly damp because the waterfall generates so much mist.

Mike: Please do.....

Dellgirl: Not literally, I hope!

Martha: The person who took that must have caught the cats at just the right moment.

I've seen the Medusa one. Which confused me at first, since like most people I wasn't as familiar with Ovid's version.

Anon: Actually I suspect many people are only vaguely familiar with the original story. This sculpture was made by an artist who wanted to depict an alternate ending, with Medusa defeating Perseus.

Granny: I aim to entertain.....

ouch! is your hand fully healed?

I opted not to get surgery to repair the bone because the doctor said the break would have no impact on function, which is true. I still get episodes of pretty bad pain in that area sometimes, though.

so sorry about the pain - I had a bad skiing accident some years ago & ended up not getting surgery -- interesting to experience the body can heal on its own, just some things take longer than others

It could have been a lot worse. I also got a concussion in that accident. If I hadn't been wearing a helmet, it could easily have been a skull fracture.
