Friday Ephemera (783)
Well, at least her phone was okay. || Hers may be the biggest I’ve ever seen. || Hoovering of note. || I vote for the magic bucket. || “Over 80% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US border.” || Oh look, bubbles. || Bristol’s bonfire kids, 1962. || Not unfair. || Nommy-nommy-nom. || A use of other people’s time and money. || The rapid sorting of tomatoes. Also, potatoes. || At last, toilet-paper mushrooms. || More peer-reviewed scholarship. || Inapt fap. || Space reserved. || The progressive retail experience, parts 659, 660, 661, 662, 663, 664, 665 and 666. || Parking scenes. || Unlikely leaf propellant. || Thing that never happens happens again. || The right tool. || Sights of London. || Newcomers. || And finally, on making The Wizard of Oz – a tale of fires, amphetamines and asbestos snow.

I recently learned (was it here maybe?) that preying mantises will hang out by hummingbird feeders and kill/eat them.
Damned insomnia.
