Sunday funnies










Have you groomed your fox today? (H/T: David Thompson)


Important safety tip: never leave your sub-machine gun lying around where your pet gorilla can get hold of it.

Jack Benny and Groucho (1955).

"I'm at the age..." Just tonight I tried to hop over a friend's porch table to help out with a thing and I kicked his sister's pottery and broke it and I said maybe I'm getting too old to hop over things and he said don't worry about it but I used to be able to do things like that.Dammit.

Eventually, we are all reduced to the "walk-around-the table" stage.

And then, the walk-half-way-around-the-table-catch-your-breath-and-then-the-other-half stage.

And finally, the Joe Biden why-am-I-walking-around-the-table? stage. :)

Joe Biden: These appetizers are tasty. What are they?

Host: That's a magnolia blossom, Joe. You're eating the centerpiece.

Haw! Paco

Loved the Groucho Benny clip.
The little kid was just hungry.

I used to run 8 kilometres every day along the beach.
At high tide it was like running through quicksand.
At every step I'd sink 5-6 inches into the soft sand.
Ended up with calf muscles so big I couldn't put on my jeans.

Now, I can barely hobble to the shop and back.

Walking around table is an option only if you can’t reach across the table.

Wow, Mike! Many, many years ago I tried jogging on the beach, and, aside from the inconvenience that the wind kept making my cigarette go out, I can vouch for it being tough on the legs, especially the calves. Today, I huff and puff after just trying to walk 30 or 40 feet from the public parking lot through the sand down to the surf.

There is a Queenslander called Kae who had a blog 12 years ago called 'bloodnut' (redhead) and she just mentioned something from those days (on Catallaxy Files), which rang a bell for me. When I searched her old blog I found a comment by wronwright. Also some by Skeeter, and maybe others here under different names.

We all go way back don't we? (I come and go and may not have been noticed back then but I was there).

I remember Kae and her blog and the photo of Kae in her prime on her bicycle.
Hey, the blog is still there.

I remember Kae. I used to have her blog on my blog roll, but she stopped blogging regularly so I removed it. I've even corresponded with her via email a time or two. She was a frequent commenter at Tim Blair's last independent blog. Always liked her.

Jack Benny was 61 in that video; you'd never guess.

Especially with that youthful mop of hair :)
