We found the Blood and Sand Cocktail took a journey around the world, travelling from London to Singapore, then finding fame in Hollywood. Along the way, it transformed from a meh concoction to a delicious Tiki sip. Its secret turned up quite by accident in a thrifter's Reddit post.

#cheers 🍸

Andre Breton ~ Poeme Objet (1935)
#Surrealism

In 1924, Breton called for the creation of objects seen in dreams. He made about a dozen of his own assemblages, calling them 'Poème-Objets'. The text on the plaster egg reads as 'I see / I imagine', and the poem beneath is deliberately cryptic.

Liverwurst. I came to love it as a small child, long before i knew what it was, and by then it didn't matter.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

A couple of surprises here, and still quite a few unknowns waiting to be turned up.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Why is it that 3/4 of the items I look for in Home Depot turn out to be at the end of an aisle at the back of the store?

Token 2 was a hard choice between this one and another, which also had "furniture" in its title. But I've had a copy of the Bill Nelson's Red Noise album "Sound-on-Sound" (1979) since I was in high school. So this track was going to win.
