these pix are pretty good -- i've added captions.

"But, but, but, I, I told you last week about the deadline ...."
"Those damn broads! Where are they? What do they think we're running here anyway? *chomps on cigar*"
"Well, *shuffles feet*, humph, I just thought you might need the money, that's all. *quietly leaves the room*"
"Hey Joey, come on, come on! Let's go play on the new swings!!  Come on, Joey!"
"Well, Janie, I know I should have said something sooner, but I have to think about things, you know. I like  you a lot, and I sure wish you'd stay here instead of going with him. Will you at least think about it?"
"Oh my gawd, Mabel -- it's a flying saucer! Come see this!"
"Yeah, well, ya sees, it was like this, Boss. He takes out this big gun, ya sees, and, I dunno, I jus thought I should handle it, ya sees."
"I beg your pardon, Marianne, but I distinctly remember saying the Brewster's tuxedo event was tonight and the plebian mud-wrestling charity was tomorrow night."
"Aw, come on Mazie. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm just a galoot sometimes. I'm sorry."
"Oh Arty, don't be such a fussy-pants. I'm going to wear the shirt and tie tonight, and you can wear it tomorrow. Besides, you know you look good in ruffles."
"Aw, Ma ... I didn't mean to run through your flowers again. Please stop crying. I'll be more careful, I promise."
"I didn't do it! I didn't do it, ya see. Ya can't prove nuttin'!"
"Um. *cough* Um, Jack ... do you see that, Jack? That, um, that woman doesn't have anything on. Um, Jack?"
"Well, yes, she was a lovely person, lovely really. And was always nice to me and Drummond even though we didn't fit into her crowd."
"What? What? What? Ohmygawd, ohmygawd. They'll kill me! I told you to take it to the other store! The other store! What am I going to do now? Ohmygawd!"
"Trust me, Gonzo, it doesn't hurt. Just tape one end to the top of your nose and the other end to your forehead and you can breathe all night long. Really."

hamsterfuge

did you see this funny video about the hamsters? apparently they are the smallest, fastest of the breed. at any rate, watch the video -- it's really funny. and you have to wonder how they keep from being dizzy.

what time is it?

do you ever feel totally stressed? need to get away? well, i have the answer for you. go here and sit and watch for 20 or 40 minutes and your cares will drift away. leave the sound on ... it's nice, too.

today's cuteness

oh my god -- too cute. little baby yammering and dog joins in. the article says they're singing but it looks like they're engaged in a dialogue to me.  :)

left, right .... right, left .... i'm gonna get you

this is fascinating. i mean, you might not think it would be ... watching a cheetah and all those glorious muscles running 60 mph in slo-mo. but it's really amazing.

everything moves except the head -- it stays in exactly the same place.

and you need to watch the outtakes -- i like going backwards fast! here, kitty!

how does she do it?

it's neat to watch the video of this dog. i had to keep reminding myself that she can't see anything.

have you been watching cartoons?

bad dog. but really funny. just skip the article and go straight to the video.

if it's not one thing ....

beware of fleas. and dead animals. and wild animals. and stuff. bubonic plague is very serious and 'returning to nature' can give you grief.

far more larger

these pix of cats sleeping are great! oh, how lovely to be able to bend, swivel, and just relax like that!!!

do dogs marry?

short, cute, wedding video from the 50s ....

mamma ... mamma ...

awwwww.... these widdo biddy babies are soooooo cyuut!!

whoa there little guy...

watching this video causes me to laugh more than i have in awhile.

not to play with

okay all you loved ones in new mexico, oklahoma, and hot southern states. stay away from armadillos. they are the only non-human creatures which carry the bacteria which causes leprosy.

pix of animals

these are some neat pictures! i particularly liked the seven bee-eaters and the cuddling swallows. (but i'd want to be the one in the middle.)

the cat and the kitty

this is pretty cute ....

this needs to be attended to

what is WRONG with people??? a mailman drives over a dog and kills it, and the postal service doesn't think there's anything they can do because the union makes it hard to discipline someone.

it's been pretty obvious to me that unions have way too much power these days, just from my observations at work. it's gone beyond protecting workers to total absurdity. as evidenced by the postal service employee's (and management's) total lack of brains.

what is it going to take to get things reasonable again?  probably nothing until vigilanteism forces things back the other way. good grief.

awww, the suffering of dogs

this is pretty funny. the poor dog just puts up with it.

get him outta there

good grief. have these people never heard the word 'accident' or the phrase 'i just don't know how it could have happened'? lions and tigers and bears, oh my. for sure. she WANTS that kid.

isn't that cuuuuute ....

Rock Stars!! or dandelions, depending on how you look at it ....

oh, how cuuuuuute...

in a twist on the normal way of things, this mommy is cuter than the baby! i love the dandelion-head look!! (or shag rug or whatever you see...)
