Scarlet Pimpernel

Can't be right...Short Pump nearly in the bullseye!!

That image belongs in the dustbin of shame along with that weiner/spaghettio image!! ETA: Wasn't "Teletubbies" originally a British TV show for children?

Yeah, I checked out some of this and turns out to be a whole lotta pointless outrage by some people over a whole lotta nothing, as I expected. Yeesh! As for the Barney and Teletubbies...agree! Though let's be honest, it is nice when we get "Barney'd" ("purpled") with snow!!

I don't know man...the globe pulsed, Atlas shrugged...what the hell next??

Short Pump fringed!!

Better living through chemistry!!

Oh, absolutely!! Love the smell of bread coming out of the oven. That's the perfect thing to do for a cold, rainy day for sure!!

Definitely agree with this. I ran track a looooong time ago in high school and we always had a warmup/cool down during practices. I did sprints, 100m, 200m 400m relay. I still ended up suffering a pulled hip-pointer muscle one time (it went out on me while running the 100m dash during a meet!) that killed the rest of that season for me. Really sucked, especially since I was scheduled for 2 other events that day and I had to be scratched from those. It was all I could do to hobble/walk for awhile, even had to use crutches to some extent. Strangely, it didn't bother me again in my final 2 years after that, thank goodness. But shin splints...that was a never-ending battle! They had a shin splint board in the locker room that you were meant to stand on for some length of time (the board was elevated at about a 45 degree angle), to strengthen it. And at home I'd have to occasionally lift a weight tied to my foot with my ankle (used one of those old cast irons, weight like 8 pounds!). That helped a lot.

Oh, sorry to hear that! Hope you'll be OK...that really sucks. I've occasionally had to deal with lower back pain, so know how much a pulled muscle can just be debilitating until it loosens back up.

Oh my, those both look so damned good! Thanks for sharing that. There's almost nothing like warm, fresh bread.

Well, I was trying in vain to make it sound "healthy!" But a milkshake with alcohol works too!!! LOL!!

It's just another type of energy drink, really...that happens to have an alcohol content!!

So true. A sh*tty winter in many ways, and a very tense year in general certainly didn't help things I'm sure!

I mean, right?? Dogs and cats, living together...mass hysteria!!

That jello spaghettio thing definitely needs to be banned!! And that other drink with the beans and broth...ugh! As for the meme, I just looked up various Star Wars meme generators!

Hell, I think even @nw baltimore wx and @Scraff would have a hard time finding a beer that would compliment that "dish"!!

Oh no...you did NOT just go there! I blame @H2O for starting that last year!! Paging @Mrs.J, you are badly needed!

Weren't those the two major political parties of the day?

The more things change...

We didn't use models at that time. We only looked at the baro in what was then the equivalent of southeast Canada to determine the forecasts. Wait...I don't think barometers existed yet. Damn, there goes that theory!

I don't know about that, but I'd be willing to bet Ji canceled winter by that point! Was it possible to get NAM'd back then?

Is that a CWG forecast? All you need is the boom/bust potential and you're good to go!

So I guess the indications are that sometime from mid-May into June we can expect a HECS??? (Historical East-coast Cicada Swarm, that is! Or will it be more like a BECS??)

Haha! Yeah I think I missed that photo...definitely a "crazy" look there! Actually it's kind of scary. Your cat looks almost exactly like my brother and sister-in-law's cat (Zippy) from years ago! Zippy was almost overly friendly, she was all over you for attention. We used to joke when I'd visit that it would be like a spa weekend for Zippy, with an extra set of hands to pet her! LOL!

It took a...MIRACLE (for him to survive)!!
