Well, we griped about the cold all winter; can we gripe about the heat yet? It’s been a hot summer where I live, or it would be except it isn’t summer yet. The temperatures haven’t been so extreme, but the humidity has been stifling. I’ve been busy with a lot of outdoor projects this month, and on some days work simply is impossible for several hours past noon. I’ve almost been bear-caught on several occasions. Well, now is the time for all of you who endured all that snow and ice to put away those sun-belt real estate brochures and relax outside.

Panel 4 is why we women all love Arlo. It’s also why I miss my late husband – he was Arlo without hair.

nighty night my friends
Debbe 😉 Nite, hon.
Newman films? Nobody’s Fool (as the world’s sexist 70-year-old man); Hombre (“Hey. I got a question. How are you planning to get back down that hill?”); and, for something almost completely different, The Hudsucker Proxy (I love the Coen brothers’ movies).
sexiest?
Debbe, didn’t offend me. Actually– in person I can be loud and obnoxious sometimes. At one point, at had some employees that nicknamed me KIA (know it all). I took it in good grace, since I do tend to come off that way. The problem is (and my daughters have it too) is that when you read a lot, both fact and fiction, then you do have a wide variety of knowledge. One of the employees that called me KIA thought islands floated in the ocean. Just kidding? No, she REALLY thought they floated! She had no explanation for why they didn’t move. All-in-all, Norm wasn’t a bad guess. 🙂
Oops.

Tomorrow is the summer solstice. Therefore, this is Midsummer Eve, when all sorts of things may happen. As Tom Lehrer sang, “Don’t be nervous, don’t be flustered, don’t be scared. Be prepared!” Peace, emb
Debbe- we’ve been sans a/c on and off since Monday. The employees are flipping out. At least you have a breeze, our windows don’t move and with the exhausts from all of the electronics and refrigeration units … well, I might have to upgrade my anti-perspirant.
We got our annual batch of “fireworks” in. What a hassle. Try explaining to a six year old that he cannot touch the box of snaps (his parent is going to hand him as soon as he walks outside) while inside the store. However, we go name brand with with our explosions … just like Arlo.

They work just about as well as they do for that coyote…
One of my favorite examples of not planning ahead was when Wile E. Coyote would strap a huge skyrocket to his back in an attempt to catch the Roadrunner. (And also don roller skates, I believe I recall.) I remember that it never seemed to work out well for WEC (such as not being able to steer when the Roadrunner made a turn), but I honestly cannot remember if, at the end if the rocket run, the device detonated. If not, that may explain why he acquired them from Acme…he had to special order the rockets without explosive warheads.
I wonder if Arlo’s squirrel anvil has fallen yet.
GR6, how many of these do you recall?

sandcastler, my favorite were the little mini-rockets that Wiley launched at the beginning of the cartoon and then fell unpredictably at the worst possible moment for him. Chuck and company always kept us guessing what came next in the roll of coyote disaster.
Fans of those cartoons appear unexpectedly too. I was reading the latest installment of the Dresden Files and at one point he needs to get somebody away from trouble. And what does he say? “Let’s meep-meep away from here.”
Almost all of them, sand, almost all of them. Ah, the joys of a well-wasted childhood.
I wonder if the “Instant Girl” product is still available from ACME?
Here’s a little something I haven’t heard in decades:

Bill Cosby: to russell, my brother, whom I slept with
Good morning Villagers….
TR: my favorite line from Mr. Cosby was when he was addressing his son: “I can take out of this world, because I can make another one like you.”
My own personal favorite to my son when I’m trying to ‘convince’ him he is wrong….”It didn’t take me 60 years to get this stupid!”….I quoted that as recently as yesterday afternoon 🙂
Checked out the Acme products, the “Triple Strength Fortified Leg Muscle Vitamins” I do remember…..actually I remember most of them, except the ‘new products’ listed further down. I noticed the anvil was listed first.
Indy Mindy…you have my sympathy…heat combined with the nuts buying fireworks, not a pleasant combination….have a little Captain Morgan on me tonight 🙂
Well, Brooklynne Rose showed up with the coolest light show…..it’s a box that displays patterns on the ceiling….stars, the moon…..and I want one too.
And Anon…you’re right, GR 😉 would make a better ‘Sam Malone’.
And David, floating islands…..was she a bleached blonde? Even I know they’re anchored 🙂
Miss Charlotte….Jackie went to her Aunt’s funeral, she should be back soon.
GR 😉 …I agree “Nobody’s Fool” was a good movie…and he was sexy at seventy. I also love to watch Jessica Tandy’s movies. Wish TCM would run a marathon on Newman movies.
Oh….happy Caterday….going in to tell the 15 year old he has to take the mud turtles out of the pit…..some people’s children….thinks he’ll get mutant turtles…I don’t know what possessed him to put them in there….at 15, he still has a lot of child in him.
The biggest news spoilers today are the talking heads. Given a lack of news, these folks can fill the gap with any spoiled garbage. Walter would just remove his glasses and pause.

islands tipping over is a big concern. My favorite Bill Cosby, I have on a record, is about him as a kid, getting scared of old creepy radio, about a scientist’s laboratory grown chicken heart growing and taking over the world. It ends with him setting fire to the sofa to scare it away. I was amazed when I actually heard the Lights Out episode itself, from the 1930’s, Bill Cosby didn’t describe it exactly, but there wasn’t much to exagerate, whoda thunk it, there really was a stupid radio story about a monster chicken heart.
Well, I do have nice hair. Except mine is real. 🙂
Debbe ; Teenage mutant nasty turtles?
“How long can you tread water, Noah?”
^°^°^°^°^°^ still has hair, only because I quit working for ID10T’s.
Oops. I owe you a 😉 , Debbe.
I may have once met the one who thinks islands float. And yes, she was a fake blonde. 😉
“Righhht. What’s a cubit, Lord?”
Loon gets tired of those blonde remarks both fake and real. Blondes, for the record Loon is not a fake, have God given powers that leave lesser souls in wonderment. 😀
