That's too cute to be scary! Brings to mind "Corpse Bride."

Thank you. Tough guys + animal love = slays me in the best of ways. :)

Given the proliferation of food allergies, I'm surprised they aren't facing assault charges.

I wish I could find this, but years ago I picked up a little pamphlet that was a sort of anti-Chick tract. It portrayed a couple of evangelists going door-to-door, and encountering a couple who said that they weren't in need of salvation, because the God of Genesis was actually "Elohim," which is plural, indicating that there were GODS who created male and female humans, and those who Yahweh had not created had never lived in the Garden of Eden, had never experienced the Fall, and thus were free of original sin. It was some interesting food for thought, to say the least.

My parents live in a small Texas town. It's not quite rural, but you drive for five minutes away from their house, and you're in the country. Their house sits on about an acre of land. The backyard is filled with old cars and occasionally gets pretty overgrown. My dad borrowed two goats from my younger brother's in-laws. For some reason, the idea of borrowed goats really amused me. We kept goats for milking when I was growing up, but they hadn't had any in years, hence the need to borrow. Goats won't eat tin cans, but they definitely will keep the grass down.

It's a mandrake root!

P.S. "Marquis" sign?? Is that like an archduke sign, or perhaps a viscount sign? (Yes, I realize it's in the original article, but it still should be "marquee," and somewhere there's an editor who's getting overpaid. Or there is no editor, more likely, and an overdependence on spell check.)

Now that is neat. So often older people get overlooked or worse. What a wonderful use of lemons into lemonade.

Jethro Tull tunes available, I'd hope?

Anything that starts with "Freaks" and ends with "Ghostbusters" is cool in my book.

Adorable! Ferrets don't have blunt noses like that, although their lengthy and stretchy qualities have been well documented.

Colt Seaver, anyone who's ever worked in customer service already knows the feeling of "smile or you'll get a spike to the back of the head." :)

I'm always amazed by how young Welles was when WotW was recorded: 23.

Does yoga, practiced at this level, tend to make one exceptionally lean and muscular? Or does the practice of yoga require one to be on the skinny side in the first place? Because I don't see a spare fat cell on any of those people. And Flux: LOL!

Thanks for the link, I love vintage weird!
