After all the teasing, you’re finally here, Summer. Happy to see you again!
Bear down
Someone in my neighborhood is missing.
Has anybody seen a bear that likes to say “hello” roaming the Silver Lake hills? He may be accompanied by a panda bear and a rabbit, as they also seem to be missing.
UPDATE: They’re in San Dimas? That might deserve an interrobang.
Rochambeau
My “check tires” light has been lit for the past few days, and I’ve noticed a lot of tire shops on Santa Monica Blvd., but I’m not sure how comfortable I am with any of them inspecting my pneumatics. There’s this porny-looking retread type:
and then there’s the place where they’re too busy playing Rock Scissors Paper to pay me any mind:
They are playing Rock Scissors Paper, aren’t they?
Velocipede
I don’t know, Simone Racheli. I thought you Italians were supposed to know all about bicycles.
That saddle looks awfully uncomfortable.
Word of the day for Monday, May 24th
You know when you can’t find the right word? It’s at the tip of your tongue, and you’re asking everyone within earshot, “What’s that word that means… you know… it starts with a g. Or it has a g in it. Or maybe a k. What is that word?” Don’t you hate that? The word for that is:
Lethologica. Now you at least have the word for when you can’t find the word.
Beware the hobo crow
I just watched a documentary about hobos and I don’t think they would have approved of this crow’s behavior. He really needs to take up whimsy whittling and gimcrackery and leave those poor bugs alone.
Just eyeball it
Does anybody still use t-squares?
I guess this guy did. Looks like he could really use it about now.
Etiquette & superstition: stumbling
Have a nice trip; see you next fall. Also: smooth move, Ex Lax.
ETIQUETTE: If you slip and fall in front of the Presidents and First Ladies of the United States and Mexico and handle it as gracefully as this lady, you deserve to be the US Chief of Protocol:
SUPERSTITION: If you stumble while going through a doorway, you should probably turn around, because your journey is doomed. You might even die, if you believe Plutarch and St. Augustine. The only time stumbling through an entrance is lucky is when you are acting in a play.
Sources of the conflict
For one to attempt any successful peacemaking measures for the impending human versus primate war, one must study the history of interactions between the parties. I think we have something here:
Miss Cellania of Neatorama doesn’t believe this is a real piece of printed ephemera, but I think it would be foolish to so quickly dismiss it.
Benched
I’m feeling so stagnant. I really need to find a new career or path in life or something. Unfortunately, my life coach is having a similar sort of crisis in his life, so I think I have to figure this out on my own.
I don’t think that was it.
UPDATE 5/21/10: More yodeling facts here. Now I’m not sure what to think…
