Might need to do a road trip.
Yes, that’d be a terrific avatar.

I think my favourite is Dirtybiker’s showing a normally a mind-my-own-business type of critter but vicious if provoked, with it’s paws up as if counting down seconds left before he finishes you off.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

yesterday I stopped to grab some Chinese food at Capri - elderly man ahead of me with his Sheltie. He kept repeating to the woman no veggies in the Chow Mein. He walked over, sat down at a table and fed the noodles to his dog :) He told me it was her favorite treat.

This made me smile!

OVER TWO DOZEN BUFFALO RELEASED ON COLVILLE RESERVATION
Thirty buffalo have been released into the wilds of the Colville Indian Reservation in southeastern Okanogan County.

Twenty-three of the animals were released on Monday between Keller Ridge and Buffalo Lake near Nespelem, while the remaining seven were let loose in the same area today (Tuesday, Oct. 3).

All of the buffalo have been fully vaccinated and are purebreds and not what's known as 'beefalo', which are buffalo crossbred with cattle.

Reading a News story that Mike Lindell of My Pillow is broke and his lawyers have quit.

That made me smile.

Why I have no money reason #67,900
Years ago I started sending out rude/vulgar Xmas cards. One year I didn't and all my straight laced peeps were disappointed ( they actually put them up lol)
This year I struck gold in the UK

So much for snagging a cheap boxed set at the drugstore, already know who I am giving them to.

I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.

As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Being at the right place at the right time and being willing to go out of your way to make something significant happen for someone else... just because you can.

Awesome !

Biggest smile hearing about this. I was 18 when this came out first time. 66 now and still love their wacky comedy.
