So let’s start off with some comparisons:
If those are just too painful, let’s move on down to the usual level:
And some random creatures that may make you want to get snared by Item #3:
And to return to our original theme:
You know what to do: now start shoveling.
Seen SOTI:
So… what do YOU think those last 18 words were? (Bonus for the most outrageous / irreverent / scandalous / libelous etc. suggestion.)
Okay, today is a little different in that I’m featuring stuff that made me giggle at one time or another, and I saved it in a random folder. Much of it comes from the Knuckledragger (thankee, Kenny), I may have published one or two before, and I’ve also edited some a little. Whatever: I’m cleaning out a folder, so here we go:

I know, it’s a somewhat… eclectic selection, but there it is.
Happy Monday.
Here’s an unfortunate train of events. When examining Chris Rea’s Driving Home For Christmas song, scientists at the University of Sheffield in the UK found the following (links included):
Well, yes. That “carbon footprint reduction” thing is doubleplus virtuous, of course.
However, as with all ivory-tower cogitations, Real Life™ has an unfortunate knack for making such conclusions look ridiculous:
Needless to say, the Eco-Loons don’t care, because not being able to visit your family at all on Christmas means that your carbon footprint would be lower still.
Which is why scientists should stick to things like discovering a better adhesive that sticks wood to metal, or improving the taste of Slim Jims (to give but two examples), instead of trying to add to the Smug Index of Virtuousness.
Just a thought.
Then again, we have another solution for this bunch of wokey watermelons, to make their carbon footprint go away completely:
…but no doubt someone is going to have a problem with this.
So what the hell… let’s make it an extra-long one:
And some New Year vistas, just to make us look forward to summer here in the Northern Hemisphere:
