Rodentiferous!
Orkin’s annual survey of the “rattiest” US cities was released a few days ago. It makes interesting reading. Orkin released its Top 50 Rattiest Cities list today, and for the fifth consecutive time, Chicago takes the top spot. New to the Top 10 cities this year are Minneapolis and Atlanta, holding the eighth and tenth… Continue reading Rodentiferous!
Nature, red in tooth and claw
Tennyson’s famous phrase was (and still is) very familiar to those growing up in Africa, and I daresay in places like Alaska and other wildernesses too. It’s the simple fact of life. Nature is predatory and ruthless, and almost all animals die through being killed and eaten by others, sooner or later. Those who die… Continue reading Nature, red in tooth and claw
Kitchens that will boggle your mind
Here are three examples (all reduced in size) from an astonishing collection of thirty kitchens that are “hilariously terrible“. There are many more at the link. Go feast your eyes . . . if you dare! Peter
I’ll see your backed-up toilet, and raise you . . .
. . . an exploding maritime convenience! Paul, Dammit!, who blogs over at Hawsepiper, tells the gruelling tale of cleaning up after the ship’s head (or toilet, for those who don’t speak nautical) exploded over the weekend. Go read all the gory details for yourself. When cleanup involves a Tyvek isolation suit, a respirator, a… Continue reading I’ll see your backed-up toilet, and raise you . . .
Not approved by special snowflakes
A bear killed a deer, because it was hungry. Normal behavior, of course; that’s what bears do. The difference, in this case, is that it did so in someone’s back yard – right in the middle of Colorado Springs suburbia. WARNING: The video is VERY graphic, both visually and audibly. Don’t play this near small… Continue reading Not approved by special snowflakes
It’s a good thing that wasn’t the stinging kind . . .
I’d hate to come across a man-sized jellyfish like this. I’ve been stung by what we used to call “bluebottles” in South Africa, small jellyfish that could inflict a painful wound. The thought of a bluebottle that size is enough to make me shiver! Peter
Not your mother’s milk . . .
I was surprised to read about an English vodka that’s made from milk. Black Cow Pure Milk Vodka is adored for its milk, floral, sweet and dry flavor notes. This Vodka is carefully distilled at Black Cow distillery, England. [A reviewer noted:] Not a big vodka fan, but this one is special. Extremely smooth and… Continue reading Not your mother’s milk . . .
I have a dream . . .
Now and again, some new item of clothing makes me do a double-take. (No, I am not a fan or a follower of fashion!) The most recent example are these. Yes, they’re lace shorts. For men. (Or, rather, for what are allegedly men.) A news report says: The lacey shorts … are available in five… Continue reading I have a dream . . .
Definitely – and literally – a crappy promotion
I’m mind-boggled after reading about the latest idea from the good (?) people at Kentucky for Kentucky. They describe their mission as: TO ENGAGE AND INFORM THE WORLD BY PROMOTING KENTUCKY PEOPLE, PLACES, AND PRODUCTS. AND TO KICK ASS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH! Whether or not this accomplishes that mission, I’ll leave to you to decide.… Continue reading Definitely – and literally – a crappy promotion
