We Wish You All A Very Happy Thanksgiving.
Top image found here, and it’s apparently the artwork of Nicolo Sturiano, aka H. Hargrove. The produce stand doesn’t cast a shadow, and there’s something hinky with the General Store windows, but I like the style.
Hear the crickets in the background of the JC video? That’s my ringtone and I never turn it off. Never, because I never have to. I just look around the baseboards and then continue with the important stuff like nothing happened. Like going back to consuming massive quantities of animals, vegetables, tubers, fruits and nuts… at least on Thanksgiving.

The horse knew what it was doing. One tried to pull that old trick on me when I was a kid, but I saw it coming and ducked.
Questions for stoners to ponder:
“What if nothing didn’t exist?”
“Where did barn owls live before barns?”
“What if there were no hypothetical questions?”
There’s a critter under the sink in the kitchen.
Wife: “I just got stung by a jellyfish! Quick, pee on it!”
Me: [peeing on jellyfish] “This is for stinging my wife!”
Regarding Windows 10: No sherlock, Shinola.
This article states,”Females are the victims of one-third of all sexual abuse cases committed by prison staff.” Now about the other two-thirds…
According to Table 13 of the DOJ report Sexual Victimization Reported by Adult Correctional Authorities, 2009–11: There were 1,226 substantiated incidents of staff-on-inmate sexual abuse. Of the perpetrators, 51.5% were male, 48.5% female. Statistically even. Of the victims, about a third of males and two thirds of females were accosted by male staff, while 92.7% of male victims were accosted by female staff. Note also that during this period, staff-on-inmate vs. inmate-on-inmate incidents were approximately equal – 49% to 51%. [h/t Needull]

Saturday Matinee – Flight of the Irish, The Dead South & The Beat Farmers
Flight delays happen, so Daoirí Farrell, Geoff Kinsella and Robbie Walsh made the most of it.
The Dead South knows how to make a viral video. (Here’s a slightly different version.)
So The Weasel called up last weekend, said Wildcat loves The Beat Farmers, but he’d lost the bootleg CD I sent him decades ago, and decades ago I told him to go buy his own copies. I hadn’t listened to the Beat Farmers in a long while, but this is what I remember: Their albums were great and they were a fun bar band.
The audio’s good, video’s crappy and skips occasionally, but the 1984 vibe is right there. If you can’t take the whole barrage, here’s my favorite.
There you go, Weez.
Have a great weekend, see y’all back here tomorrow rain or shine.

Growing Dogs: Part 4 – Over Watering
“Assuming you start with good stock, all it takes are a few clippings, good soil, and bone meal mulch to get ’em to take root and prosper,” said Ms. Crumbler, 78. “Then you have to keep them watered. They do better in the shade, otherwise they tend to wither, and you have to crop ’em back occasionally.”
Sage words indeed. On the other hand, some breeds adapt to over-watering better than others (such as Lily pictured above). Many breeds tolerate over-watering well, but excessive soaking may cause a wrinkled appearance accompanied with a pungent yeasty odor.
After a few days out of the water, most dogs revert to their natural state and the odors should dissipate from your carpet and furniture within a year or so.

Articulating Sphenoid Hot Links
The vomer is located in the midsagittal line, and articulates with the sphenoid, the ethmoid, the left and right palatine bones, and the left and right maxillary bones.
Vomer means ploughshare in Latin. It’s part of a plow.

The Detox Cleanser Scams: “Why pay for what your pee pee and poo poo already do for you?”
When raking leaves, remember that Air Is Your Enemy. Here’s the short version. My opinion is that no one should rake leaves in this first place. Let ’em fall and let ’em rot where they fall. I like humus.
Are you, or have you ever been an ealuscop? Fess up.
From the “I-Didn’t-Know-This” Dept: Caterpillars don’t morph into butterflies. Once it’s sealed up in its chrysalis, the caterpillar dissolves into goop. The goop reorganizes itself into a butterfly. More stuff about caterpillar goop here [via]
Q: Does a moth remember its pre-goop caterpillar days?
A: Apparently the answer is Yes.
I’m sure I posted something about Michael Larson before, because he was amazing.
