There are reasons not to do this. || Not entirely unrelated. || Her list may be longer than yours. || You’d never tire of it. || It’s a good-news-mad-news thing. || The thing that isn’t mentioned. (h/t, Aelfheld) || Modernity, baby. || “It’s the butter situation” and other worries, 1959. || How often do you wash yours? || His other senses must be heightened. || Only some kinds of dress-up-and-pretend are allowed. || Passions. || DIY project. || Rapper has jaw issues. || A test of patience. || The progressive retail experience, parts 678, 679, 680, 681, 682 and 683. || I couldn’t help but notice that Dad has quite the rack. || Train signals. || Status signals. || Newcomerliness. || A scoreboard of failed apocalyptic predictions.

About time.
“DIY project.“
I’d say he must nbe a really good engineer but then I pause ans wonder how he lost the fingers in the first place.
Is she counting her personality as a disability?
Morning, all.
For reasons that escape me, the scheduling failed.
[ Slurps coffee. ]
Is Canada a real place?
I spotted this in the replies:
Not entirely unfair, I think.
Continuity.
The badges warning others of her ”disabilty” may be surplus items.
Laughed, not sorry.
It’s forgotten that internet content, especially video streaming, have a carbon footprint, perhaps anyone daring to suggest an activity should be curtailed due to environmental concerns should check whether the format they use letting the world know about it has a similar impact.
And that one could have definitely been an email.
I’m just going to leave this here.
For no reason whatsoever.
The readers-added context is quite instructive:
But remember, always respect the media.
She has a jar of teeth.
So did my grandma when she went to sleep….
But it’s not a fetish, right?
Speaking of the overboobed.
I blame the spiders.
Facecrime detected.
No.
Things are getting very bad, very quickly. A Conservative MP suddenly resigned without warning or explanation and another crossed the floor, leaving the reigning Liberals one seat away from a majority. The new federal budget renders Canada the brokest nation on Earth. Bills C-8 and C-9 have passed first reading and are now in committee.
We’re fucked.
All of that.
Let me stop you right there…
Well, yes. Quite. It’s worth asking Grok about the inadequacies of a plant-based diet for dogs. The list of serious issues is, shall we say, extensive. I mean, the conceit that the average Fido will somehow thrive on a diet of chick peas and thyme is boggling.
Or cruel, depending on how you look at it.
What are the odds?
Again, media, respect, etc.
As an owner of dogs and an interest in the business of dogs, I can confirm there is a lot of controversy about pet food in general bulked up with grain and such abominations, contributing to long term conditions in the animal.
You can get various parts of livestock animals that are left over and not consumed by humans that are are tasty treats and nutritious for your pet, we have dried ears, hoofs, pizzles (!), etc that our canine companions absolutely love.
Of course if you’re part of the deluded bug-eating fraternity who wish to impose such diets on the rest of us then those left overs won’t exist.
[Well, the image I attached seemed to have disappeared into the aether]
Pimps with clipboards.
Can’t see an attachment this end.
Did Muldoon pass by?
[ Puts down rubber matting. ]
Band name.
It was right there.
Just tried again with the same image. It showed under the comment box but took a flit when I pressed ‘Post Comment’.
The the thing that never happens, take 2,345.
Play-acting.
Got the spit, just needs the baling wire.
Welp, that’s my quota of psychopathology for the day.
Didn’t know you could use a prosthetic leg for that.
No refunds. Credit note only.
The cruelty is a feature, not a bug.
.
Finally.
What is the thing with women showing a product such that they have to bounce it around? Like we wouldn’t be able to see it if it was held still. Like human vision is based on movement.
Inadvertent.
She neglected to mention the big bucket she uses to carry her crazy around.
The thing about crazy is that it is not all or nothing. Given sufficient social stigma, one can suppress much of it and act mostly normal. For example, the young lady packing for a trip would not ever have been so extreme in 1956. If you encourage and reward it, it can get worse. Just sayin.

My mate took an ancestry test
I see he’s a heavy-on-the-beans chap.
And every day the paperboy brings more
Mister Singh has done it again… This time in the UK.
Not the first.
To clarify, I don’t take a strong line on baked beans, unlike some who frequent this establishment. I mean, somewhere in a cupboard here there’s probably a small tin of the things. Should a Full English be in order.
But a lagoon of beans is a daunting thing.
