Cat Mirror

It’s obvious that the owners don’t also have a dog, otherwise the snowcat would be yellow by now. [Found here.]

Budget Amplifier

No idea what he’s listening to in the park shelter, but that’s not the weird part. He’s got boxes of Cheez-It Scrabble.

Don’t Forget IWYLD

That’s right, TR Fans.

Today is International Weigh Your Lemur Day, so get out your graph paper and tally sheets, line ‘em up and set ‘em down. If you use a digital scale be sure to cover it properly so that the inevitable little lemur leaks don’t damage the expensive electronics.

I can’t remember how many (supposedly) waterproof scales I’ve had to return over the years. It always ends in an argument with the salesperson, right up until I drop the bombshell:

“Look. This scale can’t even sustain a bladder full of lemur piss. I’ll show you. Wait here for a minute.”

Now, I don’t own a lemur, nor do I have a bladder of lemur piss to produce at a moment’s notice, but you’d be surprised at how fast you can get a damaged waterproof scale replaced with that simple browbeating argument.

Remember this but use it only when circumstances absolutely demand it, and you’re welcome.

The Alpacas Are Sprouting

With all the recent rains here, our spring alpacas are already poking their heads up through the southwestern tundra. Very endurable and self-fertilizing, alpacas are the new cash crop. It’s too late to plant this season, but plow them in around late March to early May and you’ll be glad you did.

Hey, Mr. Spaceman

“Flash Bazbo, Space Explorer, reporting for duty, SIR!”
With a space helmet like that, those would be the first words out of my mouth, right before I was sent to the Outer Realms on a mission to explore and conquer The Planet of the Mind Gobblers.

Emo Horse says “Dude.”

If I had a horse and wanted to paint and dye him I’d paint and dye him like this just to give him a high five and say, “Dude.”
