Friday Ephemera (806)
Winter scenes. || Smooth walking. || At last, self-sorting chairs. || Laughed, not sorry. || Nail job. || The Bank of England gold vaults. || But she still had to film herself, obviously. || Bigger than yours. || Are you edible? || 32 times a day. || 21 minutes of morons being tased. || Blessed are the tea ladies, 1987. || I did not know these were a thing. || A gentleman caller. || He has gender-affirming migraine auras. || Motoring decision of note. || Hardcore menopause. || Low-commitment pets. || Improper sitting. || The progressive retail experience, parts 704, 705, 706 and 707. || When you think you’re the good guy. || Move that rear end, she says. || Firefighter. || I was previously unaware of intimate fitness classes. || Today’s words are fossilised anus. || And finally, made for sharing.

I was reminded of this, from deep in the mists of time.
Ah the days when Blair’s blog was accessible to all. Twas there – or maybe here, linked over there – I first heard of the giant sky cow art thing they launched Down Under. I don’t remember what it was called, but it was a giant balloon – maybe manatee-shaped, but it had all these saggy boobs hanging off it. And they flew it up over the countryside. I swear I am not making this up – although I am pretty sure I have the details wrong. But like all the government-funded “art” David
inflicts on usenriches us with, it was grotesque, hideous, and of course needed paragraphs of “meaning” to justify it because the average person would just find it amusing (boobs!) and vaguely horrifying (so very many of them).Skywhale, a $300,000 (A$) floating excrescence. More details here.
Ah, simpler times.

Fröhlichen Ramadan wünscht McDonald’s!
And here it is Friday during Lent and McDonald’s is showing me, a devout Catholic, a hamburger.

Fröhlichen Ramadan wünscht McDonald’s!
