Post what you are thinking right now, part two

If over thinking situations burned calories...........I'd be dead!

Same. If I was still alive through this, id be a weight of a 5 ft 8 skeleton. Now, my wish is not to be used in a science class as a demonstration.

I wouldn't mind if my overthinking burned calories in moderate doses though.... I need the weight loss (well my mother says I do... and I agree with her)

It's what spazzes do. They overthink.

talking of overthinking. I recently  ran across this oddball Scottish comedian, Limmy on BBC i-player. A review had said that he'd appeal to anybody who overthinjks things.  Works for me

just caught ths in the Newsbox:

What's green and fuzzy and can kill you if it falls out of a tree?

A pool table

That one had me literally crying with laughter. I would love to meet whoever thought of that. Anybody know who it was?

^Good one.

Am I by your definition a spazz?

I read the English version as a kid: What's green and brown and if it fell out of a tree would kill you? A snooker table.

I told a lot of people this one but not everyone got it.
From the same joke book: What happened to the idiot Morris dancer? He fell off the bonnet.

I want to fight a midget

I heard the stupidest thing last night on the news. One of those (break in the new girl, pay your dues, dirty jobs) stop and ask the regular people on the street what they think (time fillers) on the news.

This woman being interviewed said she knows how to use sunblock and that you have to put more on every thirty minutes in the sun, but no one is telling us how long we are protected from the Covid-19 when we use the sanitizers. How often do you have to re-apply your hand sanitizer to remain safe from the virus?
 

... and I thought I was clueless.

*groan* . think I heard that Morris Dancer  joke before. Wasn't from you was it,  Ren?

There don't seem to be many good Morris dancer jokes around. i kinda like this one:

A class of children from a school for the blind, are by the sea side playing with a football with a bell on it, so they can hear where it is. The teacher pops off for a quiet pint. Shortly someone comes running in shouting "quick, the kids are kicking hell out of the Morris dancer!".

Evidently the pool table/snooker table is really old. I think the American version is snappier.  but for the info 

[EDIT: P.S. we have pool  here, too, BTW.  It's a whole lot easier to fit a little  pool table into a crowded bar, and to fit it up so you can't get your balls until you push some coins in the slot.  Conversely, you usually have to join a club to play snooker. I think probably more Brits have played pool that snooker for that reason. Pool is something you can play more casually. )

Unexpected 2+ hour drive today. Normally driving is one of my favourite things but the majority of this one will be spent in city highway traffic which means congestion no matter what time of day. I much prefer the backroads and countryside drives.

I much prefer the back roads as well.

Our traffic is usually hampered by the state flower that pops up everywhere in spring and bloom until frost.
It has been too hot for them lately.

There is no such thing as a toy arrow.

Don't bother saying Nerf. Those are not arrows, they are toys.
Thought came around due to some grim news today about an accident that happened last Sunday. One of my neighbors has a nephew that was hit in the eye by a crooked stick that became an arrow propelled by the toy bow he and his eight year old brother had tied together a few days before.
Eight year old was just playing with the toy bow and arrow set they had crafted.

The arrow punctured the older kid's (left) eye socket right at the outer edge by the bone. Not very deep, but he is now blind in that eye.

There might be hope for some sight in the future because the stick did not penetrate the cornea. No way to know yet if the wound caused interference with the structure of the nerves. The injury allowed some of the vitreous humor to spill out and his eye kind of collapsed. The hope is that, over time the fluid will be replaced and some sight could possibly return.

Sad day for that family.
 


Sometimes, being a good neighbor includes standing in the sun for an hour while receiving a week long horror story condensed into a one hour time frame. I coulld barely stand to listen, but he really needed to upload this to somewhere.
