Last week I published a chart (courtesy of Virtual Mirage) showing variations on the theme of ye olde basic hot dog. It proved very popular, with lots of reader comments. Among them was one from Steve S., who recommended an eatery called Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace. I took a look at their menu. … Continue reading More hot dog variations on a theme – oh, my . . . !

So that’s how they do it!
Courtesy of The Silicon Graybeard, we learn where the almond milk we see in the supermarket comes from. Click over to SG’s place for an historic photograph of the first wild almond to be milked, way back in the days of the Wild, Wild West. Savage-lookin’ critter, ain’t it? Peter
No s***, Sherlock!
I’ve watched people try to throw their weight around with serving staff. It seldom ends well, as Stephan Pastis reminds us. Click the image to be taken to a larger version at the comic strip’s Web page. Peter
Woof!
From Stephan Pastis yesterday. Click the image to be taken to a larger view at the comic’s Web page. Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain, had a lot to say about dogs, among them these two aphorisms. Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go… Continue reading Woof!
Er… what does one say?
I was left a bit mind-boggled by this snipped article, in a tweet referenced on MeWe. A false leg for a horse? Kidnapped a Mormon missionary to serve as her sex slave? (Boy, talk about faith in action!) One can’t help but wonder what makes her tick. Any suggestions, readers? (Reasonably family-friendly ones, please!)… Continue reading Er… what does one say?
Heh
Another goodie from Stephan Pastis. Click the image to see a larger version at the comic’s Web page. Is this blog “antisocial media”? Interesting thought . . . depends on the society, I guess! Peter
Gigglesnort! – CPR edition
There’s a very funny thread on Reddit concerning a CPR student who claimed his instructor had a heart attack right in front of the class. WARNING: it contains a lot of profanity, including repeated F-bombs. After a few minutes of nervous giggling and coy, frightened gazes between members of the group, many of whom… Continue reading Gigglesnort! – CPR edition
I thought they figured that out decades ago
A BBC report “suggests that Stonehenge once served as a solar calendar”. (Image courtesy of Wikipedia) That’s hardly a new discovery. Flanders and Swann were making jokes about it in the 1950’s! Ah, good old British humor. It’s still some of the funniest stuff out there. Peter
Who wants to be a “Phantom Honker”?
I had to laugh out loud as I read this report from CBC on the aftermath of the truckers’ protest in Canada’s capital city. The trucks [in Ottawa] have … been removed, with police pushing the majority of protesters outside of the downtown core over the Family Day long weekend. Even still, some downtown… Continue reading Who wants to be a “Phantom Honker”?
The Devil’s Panties school of domestic reorganization
I hate to admit how much I occasionally sometimes often resemble this cartoon in the way I clean up my office and around the house. Click the image to be taken to a larger view at the Web page of The Devil’s Panties. If you aren’t already reading The Devil’s Panties, it’s one of… Continue reading The Devil’s Panties school of domestic reorganization
