I like a good pun, play on words, or a good turn of phrase. I used to run a VAXnotes instance called Repartee where Digital Equipment Corp employees could chime in witty and pithy lines trying to outdo the other. I will have to say, this one is rather top-notch – and coming from a high schooler:

Palate Cleanser – The Smoothest Slide Into Home Plate Ever?
Since they went Woke, I pretty much have dropped all Pro-Sports except MMA but in surfing around, the is pretty dang cool:
Palate Cleanser (Sort of…) FLUX Raider MP17 – P320 PDW Chassis
This is some nifty gun gear for the firearms porn folks. I have no clue how effective or practical this is but the FLUX Raider MP17 – P320 PDW Chassis marketing clip was fun to watch, so I figured I’d share it.
Palate Cleanser: “Florida Woman Stops Alligator Attack Using a small .22 caliber Ruger Pistol.”
Another good reason to have a concealed weapons permit (or live in a Constitutional Carry State). This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator. Here’s her story in her own words:
Palate Cleanser – Old Folks Know All the Great Hacks
Know the system – exploit the system. Do the math and add in a wee bit of retribution as well and you get…..this!
Palate Cleanser: And You Thought You Knew How Fast Food Prices Were Going Up?
Yeah, stuff at the store is getting more expensive but THIS is a bit nuts. Yeah, every week, I go looking for a $6,100 burger….er, no.
Palate Cleanser – and if you want to keep the Riff-Raff off the Internet, this would work!
Not exactly what the Southern Democrats demanded of Blacks back during Jim Crow in order to vote….well, for all those Social Justice Warriors out there that depend on “feelz” than actual “book learnin'” (as Granny Clampett used to say), it might be even harder.
Palate Cleanser – Can you switch from one to the other?
I can switch from one to the other now that I know which it is – can you?
Palate Cleanser – Slo mo shotgun shells
So what else should I be doing at 4am but looking at this stuff? (H/T: Every Day No Days off)
Palate Cleanser: Bunnies, Bunnies, Bunnies
Need some distraction? How about this illusion. Can you spot the three bunnies? I have to admit, I couldn’t and had to cheat and see the answer below (yes, keep scrolling down to see it):
Palate Cleanser – Personal Copter
We’re seeing a lot of these kinds of “personal aircraft” starting to come onto the market; I love’em and think they’re a pretty great innovation.
Palate Cleanser – I Really No Longer Have This Problem
You see, now having been semi-retired for a while, the days just blend together (especially as TMEW keeps sharply pointing out, I do GraniteGrok every day).
Palate Cleanser: Jus’ Askin’…
I’m betting that… …you didn’t pay attention to detail… (H/T: Demilked)
Palate Cleanser: I’m Not Sure I Want to Go That Far to Get That Body
Nope, don’t want to get ANYWHERE close to this: (H/T: Demilked)
Palate Cleanser: You Have To Admit, The Name is Out-Of-The-Box Thinking…
Yesterday was a rather lightweight day for me. Don’t worry, today will either get better – or maybe not. Only time, motivation, and a propensity to give in to the willingness to give in to distractions will tell.
Palate Cleanser – Go Ahead; You Know You’re Going To Try it!
I admit, I only got to 7 and a half …but then again, I’m old and decrepit (and very sedentary in my mid- 60s).
Your Hump Day (A bit past) Midday Meme Storm
I missed Monday, or did I? You’ll never know, but we’re back on hump day for another midday meme storm. A break, or not, from dominating the political bandwidth in New Hampshire.
Palate Cleanser – And they all go tumbling down – dominoes!
It’s part of “what amuses me” time again. Twenty-five hours of work dismantled in just under two minutes. It just flows….. (H/T (believe it or not): Union Leader)
Palate Cleanser – Facebook: is it really a mental hospital
And that’s all there is! FB = One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest… (H/T: Jerry)
Palate Cleanser – Some random thoughts
Sent to me by a Loyal Reader – and just in time, I might add! Some thoughts for the Day: Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave the house. It’s weird being the same age as old people. When I was a kid I wanted to be … Read more
