Free Chance To Gripe

Many thanks to webmaster Ben for providing a new polling capability here at dewconsulting.net.  Try it out below. And if your answer is “Something Else,” you can let us know what that is in the comments. C’mon, inflation affects everybody, but how often do you get a free chance to gripe?

Thanks for playing, for helping us debug the new polling feature,

and for exercising your god-given right to a free chance to gripe!

New Tricks For Old Dogs

My own dad was not much of one for poetry. And yet, and yet….

In the spirit of new tricks for old dogs,

Happy Fathers Day, one and all.

Mysteries, Yes.

 

Old Dog New Tricks

 

Also, happy Juneteenth to all freed slaves everywhere,

regardless of whether news of your emancipation

has already reached you

or not.

Is It Biting You?

Bonus UFO funny. Yer welcome.

Sorry Lou.

Old Hundredth

It’s been a while since I purposely posted anything blatantly offensive. But, not to worry, that deficiency is hereby corrected. Here’s a new hymn set to the tune of the old-timey “Old Hundredth”:

Old Hundredth
And if that’s not enough…

 

How about this cheeky sign from your friendly local zoo:

Listen, mark well, inwardly digest…

 

Last but not least:

Draw your own conclusions as to what’s going in the trunk…

 

 

There. I feel much better now. Hope you do too.

Happy Old Hundredth Humpday y’all.

All this and a new WOTD (“blisteration”) too?

Just sayin’…   😉

 

Flag Day

It’s June 14th and you all know what that means, right? Happy Flag Day everybody. On this day in 1777… (see the original story from History.com here or last year’s post – along with a remembrance of 10 years ago – here). We’re proudly flying the stars and bars at our place today – how about you?

 

Happy Flag Day
Thanks for that, Betsy Ross.

Thick and Fast

Some days the Internet is nothing but an arid wasteland. Other days the snark flies thick and fast. I guess the people who put together FB algorithms have finally figured me out? I mean, the coffee memes alone!

 

Thick and Fast - how I like my coffee Thick and Fast - airline privacy Thick and Fast - navigation

Sisters Berries, Same Same

The more things change, the more they stay the same: Sisters, berries, same, same. Good to have them both back on U.S. soil if only for a time.

Just Memes Today

Just a few memes today. Nothing else. That’s it.

You got a problem with that?  No?

Goooooood.

 

Just Memes Today

 

 

As seen on FB:

 

Have you ever looked at someone and thought…

“Yep… you have a person locked in your basement.”

Well, yeah, sure.  If by “locked” you mean “buried.”

And if by “basement” you mean “back yard.”

Who hasn’t?
