...thinking Hyke's new nick and avatar is the most exciting thing to happen this morning.

  She really does look cute upside down! 

Awww, thank you.

I have to say I grinned when I saw my own avatar.

Oops.  I thought it was a cow up and down.  The collar indents almost mirror the eyes.

It's to confuse predators.

A cow can't be too careful during BBQ season. Because stampeding isn't that much fun when you have to do it too often in summer.

there is a whole series of kinder surprise that look like this. turn one way and something that could be recognized. turn the other way and it has eyes, but what is it? i put them all in our very large donation pile. maybe when it's less hot i will get one out and post a pic.

i must admit that i was very confused.

eyes bother me to begin with. human eyes are worst, but those could compete.

You realize you've becoming your Grandma Teenie when you have developed a morbid fascination for awful/tragic news.

Cue head shaking and "Jayzus, Mary and Joseph."

No, Grandma Teenie was about 5 foot 4 inches.  Teenie was short for Ernestine.  My other Grandmother was Minnie, short for Mildred.  She was about 5 foot one.

  ... when you've watched Jurassic World enough times to a.) notice that the animated dinos don't have
   any assholes. and b.) speculate about the animators' state of mind when they decided to omit them.

Interesting spin-off thought.  Since owls regurgitate their "leftovers" do they have assholes?  If so, what do they use them for?

Honest?
Damn.

I need to watch that now, I never noticed.

Normally I notice stuff like that.

  Yeah, from what I remember of the shots of the dinos' ... undercarriages ... there were no visible
  openings.  But maybe I missed it in the dark?  I mean, you can only get so close before
