Babies Are Back, Baby! Cafe

Patagonia

Dog feels baby moving inside mother's belly.

Baby reacts to first taste of ice cream.

Blanket monster consumes family.

Cat and baby form relationship on shared appreciation of napping.

Baby tiger and puppy play.

Polar bear mom and cubs.

All-Terrain Freedom Bus.

This bear sure is enjoying this hot tub.

Parrot clowns on a German shepherd.

Surfer girl.

Cobra enjoys a cool-down.

Snow kayaking.

Unicow.

Neat illusion but I think you can spot the prop easily enough.

Glass bottomed infinity pool on top of a skyscraper.

Sweet merciful Mary, the pollen! The pollen!

The innovation in sink design you didn't know you needed (because you don't). The sink, which sucks in everything within six feet, is called the David French's Pouty Sex-Lips.

I don't make the book thread very often. So here is a book I ordered last night. "Blood Red Snow " a memoir of a Wehrmacht Landser on the Russian front from October 1942 to 1945.

Posted by: Beartooth at June 13, 2024 07:54 PM (ivVQZ)

30 I really think the Patagonia image above is intentionally trying to mimic Caspar David Friedrich's 1818 painting "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog." Even the peak itself resembles the Kaiserkrone where the human subject in the work is standing.

Which, if true, is kind of neat.

31 Yeah, the guy in the invisible chair has a support running up through his left trouser leg. If you watch carefully, you can see the support plate, under the mat, flex slightly upward at the front edge when he leans back. Neat illusion though...

Infinity pool. No, just no. Much like the glass walkway over the Grand Canyon.

42 The innovation in sink design you didn't know you needed (because you don't).

You're right, I don't.

As a sink, it's terrible because you can't fill it with water and wash things.

As a countertop, it's terrible because it's not flat. I don't need all my utensils and non-square produce (which is pretty much all of it) rolling around when I'm preparing food. And I certainly don't need wobbly cutting boards.

I guess if you're a mortician it might be a good place for embalming a body?

57 @45 I remember the first phase of that case; we found it entertaining, and I had a long talk with a friend who owns an insurance agency. He didn't even crack a smile, said the complainant would win easily, and made out as if it was far from the weirdest claim he'd ever heard. I suppose we should remember these things when our rates go up.

I just can't find it in my "listed perils" at all.

We once gave one of our puppies, little Mr. Knight, a bowl of ice cream. He took a big bite and his eyes bulged out as the brain freeze struck. He tried to spit it out but it was fused to the top of his mouth. We were not of much help because we were paralyzed with laughter. Poor little boy.

94 I was supposed to pick up my teardrop trailer today. But it was 103 for the high so I asked to go out tomorrow when it's cooler. Owner contacted me mid day and asked if they could bring it out for a fee. I happily said yes, so now it's in my back yard! This will be fun. It does mean I can work my last day tomorrow. I will do that because you can do anything you want on your last day.

107 69 Are any of Koontz's books... good? Several movies have been made from his stuff and they're all shit. Sorry, but ... "Watchers", "Phantoms", and "Demon Seed".
Even Stephen King could occasionally get something decent into the cinema, even if (like "The Shining") despite him.
Posted by: looking for books at June 13, 2024 08:30 PM (gKWVE)

Good? Pulitzer prize winning? Probably not. But thoughtful, yes. Some are stinkers. I began one set in the arctic and couldn't get past chapter 2. I didn't care about any of the characters. But the Odd Thomas series has been enjoyable. I saw the movie first, years ago. I loved Anton Yelchin in the title role - I thought he was well cast- and I appreciated that Willem Dafoe got to play a nice guy. The books delve quite a bit into his worldview. I was completely surprised by it, mainly because most traditionally published authors toe the New York line. Check the first, Odd Thomas, out of the library and give it a shot.

An apt assessment. But Koontz loves dogs and they are featured in a kind and loving way in his books. He never has them hit by a truck and buried in a demonic graveyard to come back and terrorize the neighborhood. That is a plus for me.

And just think, it was all through a small independent not-at-all related to the DNC group of "crazy extremist radicals" that just so happened to make a bunch of noise on some campuses a month ago and now *poof* almost every single mainstream leftist on the planet is parroting their vile inhumane shit.
