Quote Of The Day
On life:
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going?” ― Tennessee Williams
Actually, by that definition, there’s no such a thing as a “present moment”.
Discuss among yourselves.
Afterthought: I apologize for the unwarranted gravity of this post. And now, we return to the topic of Salma Hayek’s boobs.
Climate Change?
Almost exactly 365 days ago, southern Britishland was in the grip of a fearful drought, vid.:
…and of course, pics like the above caused much weeping, wailing and gnashing of British teeth with headlines such as “Does climate change mean that we’ll never see rain again?” and similar twaddle.
Of course, we sentient human beings all know the difference between “climate” and “weather”, so there was NO PANIC!!! amongst us. And indeed, here we are, a year later:
…because Britishland’s old friend — RAIN — has fallen from the skies again, this time leading to items such as this (sent to me by Longtime Buddy Mrs. Sorenson):
…which in turn leads to things like this, taken in my car yesterday:
I’d gladly offer to trade, say, 25 degrees off our summer for a couple weeks of cooling rain from theirs.
Were it not for non-existent income tax, relaxed gun laws, hands-off politicians, fine BBQ and friendly Texans… I have no idea why I live here.
By the way, in the comments for the original article whence I filched the first two pics, one guy offered the following: “That drought was in the south. Up here in the North, it’s been raining nonstop for five years.”
Handling The Situation
Reader Andy T. sent me this little video, and it had me giggling like a little girl. As he put it:
“Not quite a Righteous Shooting (this apparently occurred in NYC), but definitely a Righteous Beating thanks to a couple of PO’ed Sikhs…”
Taking the law into their own hands, and righteously so. I bet the beatee doesn’t come near that shop again.
I must have watched the thing a dozen times, and I bet you will too.
