#AI is awful part eleventy million. I wanted to confirm that I remembered hearing that Ian Tattersall had a rule about being able to tell whether fossil skulls were different species at fifty paces. Searches for "ian tattersall" and "fifty paces" wasn't turning anything up...

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, has seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. He watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain...
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, has a machine gun now. Ho! Ho! Ho!
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

I've listened to this like 12 times and I can't stop laughing
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

I know something’s fucked up, because I’m looking forward to family Thanksgiving karaoke next year.

I will never not repost this when it rolls by.
And this is Batman's Aff His Nut by Robert Florence, which, in my opinion, is easily the greatest Scottish poem ever written about Batman...

Porn needs a better lobby. I don’t have to scan my driver’s license to visit distillery websites.

Took a time out from cooking for a photo shoot. Little Dark is not impressed.

Val didn’t know this was a One Piece apron when she bought it for me.

Made a rack of lamb for dinner tonight. It turned out pretty OK.

Booked our return to Maine’s southern coast for next June. When we went last fall it was the most relaxing trip we’d ever had. Very excited to go back.

Here, for those who thirst for such things, is the classic, pre-Civil War Mint Julep, in all its glory. No whiskey here, only imported goods, and pricey o es at that. Worth it, I believe. Not that it won’t frost properly in air conditioning, so build it out on the verandah if you care for frost.
Stir a heaping barspoon of sugar into .5 oz water. Muddle 5-6 mint leaves, lightly. Fill tall glass with fine-pounded ice. Add 2.5 oz VSOP or XO cognac. Stir. Refill with ice (it will have sunk), add 5 mint sprigs and float .5 oz of Jamaican pot-still rum (I split this). Let frost. Straws. Smile.

I made some damn fine chili dogs tonight. Homemade Texas chili on natural-casing dogs in butter-toasted New England-style buns. This meal brought to you by YouTube and Wegman’s.

PAPA SMURF: Some of us aren't pulling our weight around here.

HANDY SMURF: Gee, I wonder who the smurf he's talking about.

TRIPPY SMURF (living in a psilocybin mushroom house): holy shit you guys have you noticed we're all *blue*?

I got three free months of SiriusXM from the parking app, so I’ve been listening to Little Steven’s Underground Garage. I like it. Good thing, too, because we booked his cruise for next spring. ‼️
