Friday Ephemera (816)

A mighty roar. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || A licking of the lips. || For maximum plunging. || Lomanstraat, Amsterdam. || An exercise in truck alignment. || A brief guide to the origins of Islam and jihad. || Battle strategy of note. || An hour of department-store bossa nova. || Meanwhile, in Bradford. || Hers is bigger. || Though his is not unimpressive. || The unhappy art of crab packing. || A museum of plugs and sockets. || She teaches five-year-olds and wants to challenge patriarchy. || Cramping. || Carry On Doctor, 1967. || Cellophane. || But they were using his toilet. || Turkish taxi ride, liveliness ensues. || Artefacts from the era of vending nuts and gum. (h/t, Tacky Raccoons) || Today’s word is girth. || Yours for only $650,0000. || He has a watermelon holster. || And an outstretched hand.
