Mini-Reprieve From “The Day Eaten By Locusts”

Well, today looked as though it were scheduled to be devoured by locusts, but rain has washed out some auto mechanicking (more brake work: do NOT do while raining, even if using synthetic brake fluids–just don’t :-)) and yard work. Oh, the rain’s let up, now and bright skies have at least dried up the driveway, so some car work’s possible, but yard work? Not when the ground’s this wet. Sweet.

Now for a sharp left turn into wonderland. Have you tasted any of this ambrosial concoction?

Oh! Heavens that’s good! 100% fat by calorie count (and a teeny smidge is a few calories indeed), but so’re margarine and butter. This stuff is seriously good stuff! Bacon. In a creamy good spread. Oh. My. OK, maybe I’ll get some of this instead, but I’ll not do it twice if it’s not as good as the original:

A grateful tip o’ the tam to Son&Heir for introducing me to BACONNAISE!

Hmmm, I wonder how it’d be as a base for fried locust dip?

Back From The Dead

David has kindly told me numerous times that I am welcome to post on his blog and I hope he meant it because here I am, posting without warning. It’s a miracle I remembered my login. This is a fairly self serving post- I know that most of you who come here to read are uber intelligent and often interested mainly in politics but you have to have some fun now and again and with that thought in mind I’ve written here today to say that I’m bringing Dead Guy On The Sidebar back, and seeing as how I’ve been away from blogging quite a bit in the past year because of a highly successful fight with cancer and need to get my blog roll back up to par, I decided to see if anyone that visits here might like to play. If you guess the “Dead Guy” you get massive linkage. LOL So if you’re interested check it out at The Trouble With Angels. I’ve just put a new “Dead Guy” game up. The rules are on the left top of the blog.

“____’s Got Talent”

The ____’s Got Talent franchise is apparently pretty widely spread, but some countries seem to have gone beyond the limited model I’ve seen portrayed on America’s Got Talent and Britain’s Got Talent. The Ukraine version, for example, featured this winner:

Now, let’s see someone win for sculpting marble on stage…

Something Else to Add to My Wish List…

A flying car. No, really. First test flight:

And, while it looks like a tight fit in the garage, still…

Of course, at an expected $194,000 price, I’d have to start buying lottery tickets AND win… *heh* Well, it doesn’t cost anything to briefly dream about such a thing, but life has other demands. Oh, well. πŸ™‚
