A followup to Sunday Chuckle: Clear Eyes
Took my early morning walk recently. One of the roads we like also happens to be a hideout for teenage stoners. I found a “Clear Eyes” dropper for those red stoner eyes last time. This time, I think the stoners were rolling blunts!
Yah, mon.
Because “the innocence of babies” and “the pain of childbirth” are exactly what I think of when it comes to Nirvana’s music.
I love a nice cool walk on a beautiful summer morning. I always bring my camera, because sometimes you see some weird shit.
Sometimes you see nice nature stuff, like this snail.
Sometimes you see things that make you scratch your head. I’m not sure if this is a Sunday Chuckle or a WTF? What is a “Redneck Mafia”? Isn’t that something of an oxymoron? And a “NO-Club”? What is that?
A few weeks later he was back, looking like he was trying to make two parking spots for the price of one. Who is this guy?
Guess below in the comments. Or don’t. Whatever!
DO NOT READ IF YOU INTEND TO WATCH GAME OF THRONES, BUT HAVE NOT STARTED YET!
Two weeks ago, I began watching Game of Thrones from the beginning for the first time. Everyone at work is into it, so I finally took the plunge. Of course, it’s impossible to completely avoid spoilers. I know there are dragons, White Walkers, and so on. However I’ve remained gleefully spoiler free on most key happenings. I am two seasons into the show, now midway through the third.
The other day at work, I was talking about how much I’m enjoying the show. I mentioned some characters I didn’t like, such as Joffrey, Theon and “Kingslayer” Jaime Lannister, the greatest swordsman in the realm.
One friend asked, “Jaime Lannister, is that the one-handed guy?”
At once everybody responded, “Yes.”
Except me.
“He loses his HAND??” I howled.
Fuck! Spoiled!
My sister, world-travelling bass clarinetist Kathryn Ladano, is in Scotland!
This should surprise no-one, but one of the things she is doing in Scotland is drinking beer.
As luck should have it, on her first day, she had a fall at a pub. I am assuming alcohol was involved, but that’s not important to the story. She spotted a black Scottish Schnauzer, and jumped up to see it. She bumped her head and injured her shoulder. In her email to the family, she said, “I have a lump, but I didn’t have to go to the hospital.” Glad she’s OK!
My dad read this email first, and he immediately announced to the family that “Kathryn had a great start to her vacation…got a concussion, dislocated a shoulder. In a hospital.”
Talk about misreading! My dad has been known to 1) stretch the truth, and 2) immediately go to worst-case scenario, but I’ve never seen anything like this before! She specifically said she didn’t have to go to the hospital, and she made sure to put that up front so my dad wouldn’t worry too much. Well shit!
Mrs. LeBrain and I enjoy a nice walk in the summer time. One of the roads we like also happens to be a hideout for teenage stoners. We once encountered a couple of them emerging from the trees. On this occasion we did not spot any stoners, only what they left behind…!
