Tie-Dye Memories

Jaquandor has been doing crafts and his fine work brings back memories of my own work many years ago. Perhaps someday I’ll get a scanner and run a few old prints through and share . Mine, though, were not as bright or colorful as Jaquandor’s. I was very much in a purple stage at the time…
Jauandor, I don’t think it is possible to make a mistake when doing tie-dye. The patterns you get are very much the pattern of the world at that moment.

I know some religious folks who will bristle at Scalzi’s sensible views on family management and relationships but they live in dark places and if they are very lucky their sons will not look to be dating Athena:

And as for passing along the “the husband is the head of household” meme to my daughter, well. Here we pause for a long and hearty laugh. I’ve already given Athena permission to kneecap the first jackass who tries to pass that one off to her. And you don’t want to know what Krissy’s given her permission to do.

Chuckle! Read it all.


Funny Stuff From New York

I just spent 15 minutes laughing and giggling at Overheard in New York. Funny stuff from the sublime to the very gross. And there are months of archives just waiting…. Here’s one from the mild side:

Girl: Shoot! I’m sorry.
Guy: So where are you from? Because I know it’s not New York if you say “shoot!”.
–Union Square Regal Cinemas
Overheard by: Jeff Hubbard

But, it was 15 minutes I should’a been doing something else. I’m trying to decide whether to thank or curse Sisyphus Shrugged for pointing out this hilarious site! Ok, I’ve decided. Thanks!
