Palate Cleanser: Married 38 years – you think I know?

December 8, 2019 Skip

Yes, I chuckled because sometimes it CAN seem that way. Best is the “FINE!” retort – man, are you in deep sneakers! And the “I don’t care” said several times is a ‘tell’ that TMEW DOES care but I’m not going to find out how, over what, and when. I’ve been told I’ve above average … Read more

Palate Cleanser: So many definitions for LGBT…

December 7, 2019 Skip

Does this new one mean I’m guilty of “cultural appropriation” of the Politically Correct one? How could that be, though? The Left is CONSTANTLY changing their own definition of words and acronyms – so why can’t I? Or you? After all, they are trying to retrofit things to bolster their agenda – why SHOULDN’T we … Read more

Palate Cleanser: I admit – I could not pass this test…

November 30, 2019 Skip

Is it that they’ve plain run out of names and have to plunder all of fantasy? Heh! Wait until they start using the larger Science Fiction universe… I got a few (it’s been a long time since I actually sat down to read a book rather than perusing blogsites) but I’ll be honest – if I … Read more

Palate Cleanser – THIS is one honkin’ truck with a price tag to match

November 27, 2019November 27, 2019 Skip

Every once in a while we go off the “politics and culture reservation” to bring you something that just happened to amuse us…this time, moi. Big truck, big price tag – $12 million. And this IS one.Big.Honkin’.Truck: Want to talk about over-the-top? Well, this is about as outrageous as it gets. This truck is the … Read more

Palate Cleanser – amusing, over and over again

October 27, 2019 Skip

Yeah, back again. Complete disk failure on the old laptop so I’ve been offline for a few days. Is there such a thing as “the online DT’s?”? If so, I got them so I’m glad to be back after looping, over and over, trying to get those disk sector errors under control. Didn’t work – … Read more

Palate Cleanser – yep, and screaming once in a while salves the soul…

So, a two-fer…. (H/T: Caveman Circus)

Palate Cleanser: I can’t tell which message I like better!

July 15, 2019 Skip

On the way home from Concord to drop the Saab for servicing, I noticed a wonderful license plate that I had to have TMEW take a snapshot. I just couldn’t stop smiling and chuckling. However, did you catch the other two messages? The license plate holder: Leave me alone And NOT the religious “Coexist” bumper sticker … Read more

Palate Cleanser: well, it IS Prom Season after all

May 8, 2019 Skip

I can go with a modern sporting rifle over the traditional shotgun being held by dear old Dad. I am enjoying, however, the look of utter despondence and annoyance on the daughter’s face. (H/T: ThrillBlender)

Palate Cleanser: #MuseumBowl

February 2, 2019 Ellen Kolb

Just when I was all done with the hype for the upcoming Patriots game, here come the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, engaging in first-class trash talking. Get thee to Twitter and search for #MuseumBowl. The tweets there have made my day. Five rings are better than … Read more

Palate Cleanser: ADHD + “enhanced” food coloring = Sith Lord

January 27, 2019January 27, 2019 Skip

Yikes! When younger, our Eldest and Youngest did the same thing (playing with food coloring), never to this level. Permission granted to post this image.

I think I’ll just leave this here…

Palate Cleanser – Jet Pack Racing. YES! I Said, Jet Pack Racing!

January 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

After running a series of proximity tests, JetPack Aviation is ready to start the coolest thing (so far) for 2019. A Jet Pack Racing league. “We tested how close two jetpacks can fly together without causing turbulence or interference with each other’s engine inlet air,” David Mayman, CEO of Jetpack Aviation, told Digital Trends. “The tests … Read more

Palate Cleanser: Package Thief vs. Glitter Bomb Trap

December 21, 2018December 20, 2018 Skip

This is just so cool! And so appropriate this time of year as well as these kinds of thefts are getting onto the news more and more as folks are turning to installing security cameras. This one goes WITH the thief! (H/T: LIKECOOK)

Palate Cleanser: how steady are YOUR hands!?

December 9, 2018December 9, 2018 Skip

Having flown over 500K air miles in my career, I used to rack up all kinds of frequent flier miles – the vast majority on United. Last 10 years, though, have basically stayed home and flow very little. I did fly a bit on Delta but not enough to get a freebie so over the … Read more

Palate Cleanser: I need a new lawn tractor. When I showed TMEW saw this one

Palate Cleanser: Who Owns the L.A. Dodgers?

October 29, 2018 Ellen Kolb

Happy Tuesday! Congratulations to the Red Sox, again. Never gets old. I love it that Steve Pearce was named MVP, although I’d have had no reason to complain if David Price had gotten the nod. That brings me to the best headline from Game 5, and I shall brook no dispute. Well, maybe a little, but not much.
