Rich Tapestry

The world is a rich tapestry, my friends. I say, embrace it.

 

Rich Tapestry
Wait… WHAT?

For all my etymology friends.

Déclassé

With that last post I sense we are on a roll here. So, today’s WOTD is déclassé.

From Merriam Webster:

dé·​clas·​sé | \ ˌdā-ˌkla-ˈsā  , -ˌklä- \

 

Definition

1 : fallen or lowered in class, rank, or social position.

2 : of inferior status.

********

And from the New Yorker comes this further wisdom:

déclassé
“Donald dreams of declassifying documents: A stable genius always finds simple solutions.”
By Barry Blitt.

********

 

Like I said, on a roll.

Yer welcome.

Empty Calories

Halloween is coming soon, folks.  It will be here before you know it. You know what that means.  That’s right, it’s not too early to stock up on… empty calories.

 

Empty calories
Reminds me of… of… wait, wait don’t tell me…. It’s right on the tip of my tongue….

You Know You’re A Geezer

You know you’re a geezer when….

It’s been over 5 years since you roamed the streets of downtown after midnight.
Crowds at rock concerts lit up the night with cigarette lighters instead of cell phones.
You remember when Albert Pujols played for St. Louis THE FIRST TIME (2001-11). Shown here hitting HR #700 last night.  (Go Geezers!)
The Rockies roster included N. Arenado (Cardinals), T. Story (Red Sox), and DJ LeMahieu (Yankees) instead of E. Tovar.  (Ezequiel WHO?)
You Know You're A Geezer - Fireworks
Post-game fireworks made your heart go pit-a-pat. (Alright, maybe it still does… a LITTLE.)
You know you're a geezer when - field of dreams
A sellout extra inning game at Coors Field did NOT involve the home team lagging 39 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West. (That’s right. You heard me. 39 games out. Oof.)
Yay Rockies anyway. And welcome to the Show, Ezequiel. May you last as long as Albert.

Stars In The Sky

How come people believe you when you say there are four billion stars in the sky but check when you say the paint’s wet?

Don’t you just hate it when your supplier goes on vacation? Better luck next time, Snoopy.

What Is Wrong With This Picture

What is wrong with this picture? Not all of these are equally absurd or cringe-worthy. But if you think about it for a little bit, each one should give you at least a moment’s pause.

 

 

C’mon, THINK about it!
Football on Amazon? The height of absurdity!
What Is Wrong With This Picture - Stahp!
Well, hell, just tell me which way I CAN go, whydoncha!

 

What Is Wrong With This Picture - Hockey
Yup. Truth. Frightening but NOT boring.

But for something that’s 100% right on the money, try this on for size: Cheerios!

All Bears All The Time

From load-bearing demons to Boo-Boo Bear at the corner of Surrey and Fargo, around here it’s all bears all the time.

All Bears All The Time - BooBoo Bear
Boo-Boo Bear at the corner of Surrey and Fargo.

My brother claims they’re loitering around his new barn all the time…
… though I’m not sure how far I can trust him.

 

Seeing is believing, I guess.

Three Cheers

Three cheers for King Charles III. Well, 3 something anyway.

 

Long may he reign – and stay employed.

 

Three Cheers - Prince.
God save the King.
Last but certainly not least…

Golfers

It’s been a while since I gave golfers any grief.

Let this be the remedy.

Yer welcome.

Golfers' etiquette - cheating.

Golfers' etiquette - wildlife.
As always – here at Arrowhead as at any other course – it’s always good golf etiquette to allow the local wildlife to play through.
