WEIRD THINGS I'VE WONDERED ABOUT LATELY:
***When they built that new "world's longest suspension bridge" over in Japan, I've heard it had to meet stringent typhoon and earthquake standards...
I wonder if it also had Godzilla standards?
***Two plants that one finds EVERYWHERE in (at least, Northern) California are the so-called wild mustard and wild oats. Most of us know that these plants weren't native to California but were brought here by the Spanish Catholic priests when California was first being settled...
The one problem I have is figuring out exactly WHICH "Spanish" dish uses either "mustard" OR "oats"??? I can't think of a Spanish dish that uses either of them...
***Have you seen this new gadget they've got that they advertise on TV? It's called the "Photo Wallet" or something like that where you can download 50 photos from your PC onto and carry around instead of just carrying photos in your wallet...
Wonderful... As if 15 minutes wasn't ENOUGH time "oohing" and "aaaahing" over some little, old lady's grandkids at the bus stop...
***They've got another gadget they advertise a lot that's like a hearing aid on "10" that amplifies sound so much the makers claim "you can literally hear a pin drop across a room"...
Great... as if I wasn't paranoid ENOUGH, now I gotta worry about the old geezer across the street listening at my bedroom...
THINGS MY HUSBAND SAID THAT WERE FUNNY:
***Talking about old songs... "You know one that I always liked," he reminisces, "The Wreck of the Ella Fitzgerald"...
This immediately brought to my mind a mental image of a portly black woman singing "doo wop" as she sinks into the water holding 3 fingers up over her head...
THINGS I'D LIKE TO SEE:
***Keith Richards and Ozzie Osbourn having a conversation...
(We probably wouldn't understand a word of it but I think it'd be hilarious...)

I am thinking that maybe only the Spanish PRIESTS ate the mustard and oats...maybe together.....like a kind of mortification, keeping down the libido.....(maybe it should be re-instituted)
Look out, Jean. You're starting to sound like me.
THIS was worth the price of admission! Oh, lawd! I can't BREATHE!!
I'm starting to think you're as twisted as I am.........
**bowing** I am honored to have brought even some small mirth to the Divine, Omnipotent Pants...
You are most WELCOME, my friend, Pepsie!
Oh, Ron, Sweetheart... If you only KNEW... ;o)
The Spanish Catholic priests went to California to sow their wild oats!
ROFL
Glad we could give you a chuckle, Tinch! ;o)
