Panda Dung Art...Sold for $45,000

From Breitbart It is the last line in the article that got to me: "From time to time, people get closer to the statue and smell this yellow Venus and some claim it smells nice," .

I am never going to ask the people what they have been smelling for them to claim the statue smells nice.

I thought some eye wash and brain bleach for Odie was in order....

Green Bay Come Together

My friend in Michigan sent this to me.

When my son was going to college, there was a Packers and Cowboys older student fan attending the same classes as my son was taking.  He is a vet. He was selling his wares at kiosk on the base when I was selling at a kiosk on the base. I didn't realize he was student at the college and was a classmate of my son. My son didn't realized his older classmate knew me. I would call him by his real name. At school, he was called by his nickname "Sticks".

When Sticks found out a few years ago there was going to be Packers vs. Cowboys game in Dallas, he just had to go. The students suggested that he splurge going to this game by flying to Dallas and renting a car to get there. Sticks wasn't great at subtracting money he had in the bank plus his wife paid a few bill to help out in his subtraction difficulty. Airline tickets were paid for but he would have to forego renting a car and eating on game day.

Sticks is a character. He boarded the plane being dressed as the ultimate Cheddar Head fan and off he went to Dallas. Students begged Sticks not to hitch hike in Dallas. At that time, they didn't realized how Sticks was going to be dressed while he hitched hike in Dallas. Cheddar Head fans are the best. Another Cheddar Head heading to the game picked him up.

That night we were watching the news. There is Sticks being interviewed before the game started. You know, only the ultimate dressed fan would get the news reporter to interview him on the before game prediction. The news must hold results of the game for a little sports drama to make it exciting.  Sticks was going to be the guy to make the news report a little more exciting.in his ultimate fan outfit. Too boot, Sticks loves to talk.

Cheddar Head Fans heading to the airport after the game gave Sticks a ride back to the airport. Sticks had stories to tell of his classmates of his adventures going to the Green Bay Packers vs Dallas Cowboys game.

Enjoy!

It is hard for a happy dog to act sad.




Ah.. if only on our first driving test we could have done some of these parallel  parking techniques and not flunked.

Hister is Pissy that Keithy was fired.

Catherine Tate Show Shitake Mushrooms

My son was enjoying the honey bottle he inherited at his  BPP. He read the label. It is honey flavored corn syrup. On his facebook he sounded like Catherine Tate.

The Other "Pilots"

I wouldn't want to be on the ship at 2:00.

Altanta, Georgia on the scene weather reporting......

There were times when our local news should have been outside reporting the weather. The news was telling us it is sunny outside as we were watching thundering and rain drops big as cats and small dogs coming down.

Ladies in Action....

                                                          

                                                              

                                                                    

The lovely ladies are close to being finished with their paintings. These ladies are so much fun to teach. This was a difficult floral painting that has advanced petal art techniques. The petals are folding over. It is easier to do daisy style flowers straight on. I am so proud of them.

Upcoming Art Class...

This Saturday is booked for an oil painting class. My 6 students will let me know what type of landscape painting they want to do then. They have great fun trying to stump the teacher.

This group had a high old time with me when I was teaching out of a big box arts and crafts store. These ladies are tool and die makers. They are also sexy senior citizens. I haven't found out yet if any of them has retired from work, but I seriously don't think they ever will retire. The class was supposed to start at 6pm at the store. A couple of them was late but it wasn't no big deal since I ended up putting brand new easels together for them and they had to shop for supplies. The room was filled to capacity. The painting they were supposed to do was quite simple. I was thinking 2 hours max. The store closes at 9 pm. We were all having a grand old time painting and laughing. Time was slipping on by. We finished painting at 9pm on the nose. It was time to pack and clean up. Fortunately, one of the ladies had to use the bathroom. She was walking towards the bathroom and the manager on duty was walking towards the door. The manager said to her "who are you and what are you doing here?" One of the workers had her hand on the alarm. The manager screams, there's a class going on. I thought we were making a lot of noise, but apparently we weren't.

Joy, Joy, Joy...

My son's new microwave was on the floor. He was hungry so he got on his hands and knees to put the food in and push the buttons. Husband and I were laughing really hard watching him do this. My son made the error of asking what is so funny. Son, you look like Pounce, our dog, at the dog food bowl. My son when he took his hot meal out of the oven was burning his fingers on the steam venting out so he managed to throw the hot food on top of the microwave. Our dog would never throw food in the opposite direction of her mouth either.

We went to the mall so my son could show us the virtues of PS3 and Wii. My son ran off with his xBox. Grrr. There was this tall, skinny man about 20 years old enjoying doing this exercise with Xbox at the store. Now this man was wearing cowboy hat and cowboy clothes. He is jogging in place and having a great time. Customers are encouraging him to continue. Small towns do love free shows. My son finds a small kid demonstrating the virtues of Wii. My husband and I are thinking less buttons on the remote control the better. Not really, but we are having blast with the remote feeling tipsy. No PS3 was set up for demonstration. So we decided on buying the Wii because a small kid can do it and it does what we want it to do.

So after purchasing our new fangled device, we went to the local chocolate shop in the mall. It is a mom and pop biz. We ordered our homemade truffles and sat at the table to eat them. This is the first time we sat down to eat our chocolates at the store and did we get an education. I looked on this shelf. They sell emergency baby diapers kit: Wet clothes and one diaper in this package. Next to the emergency diaper kit is feminine hygiene products. My son starts to laugh hard because the biz put sugar-free chocolate above the women products. Above the sugar-free chocolate is OTC pain killers. It is apparently the PMS section of the chocolate store. My son starts to laugh and said a little too loud, "Look they put the sugar-free chocolate there so when women come in and say they feel fat, they can find the SF chocolate fast!" The young lady cashier is laughing at my son. The lady sitting behind my son is throwing darts with her eyes at him. We walked out of the store and I tell my son, if you had inclination to ask the young lady out behind you, forget it.

Life Little Amusements.....

This car at the mall was driving down the wrong way. There is one of these dirt filled end cap island that once held the promise of beauty of a tree and grass. The wrong way driver goes up and over the end cap. Apparently, there are other drivers that have done this feat so you could say the dirt was spun out next to the curb. The full length of the under carriage dragged on the curb. She stopped the car and reversed. She got into a bigger mess. So she stopped and put the car in drive. She put the pedal to the metal and floored the old car out of the clay soil sand trap. There is some pricey repair work that will be need to be done to her car. Objects were dragging on the road when she finally got her car out of the mess. The man riding with her is flailing his arms like crazy for her to stop the car so he can look at the damage. Darn seat beat laws. It would have been fun watching him do fanny jumping up and down in the front seat like popping popcorn.

My son wanted to stop off at the grocery store to pick up a few things for his apartment. The young lady bagger was doing her best to flirt with him. We asked him if he got her phone number. He thought she looked she was high school. We thought she looked like a college student. We looked at him and said, "If you ask her what school she attends it would somewhat give approximation of her age: College or high school. Perhaps, non rocket science stuff is too simple to figure out.

My son will have a blast telling his friends how the old folks are having difficulty with the networking system he set up for us. It is definitely magical what he did. We don't have a clue.

Pablo

We are spent the evening moving more stuff to my son's BPP. It is dark out and he knows that I don't see well and my ears are filled with fluid so my hearing isn't too keen either. My son is a good distance ahead of me.  I was watching the cats running around the yard. I thought my son said, "Watch out for Pablo!" Is this cat super friendly and likes to rub up against legs?  I catch up to where my son is and said, "so that's Pablo". My son looks at me and said, "I didn't say watch out for Pablo. I said watch out for potholes."
