Every Girl's Crazy 'Bout a Sharp-Dressed Man...

That was HYSTERICAL! Anole lizards rock! They have a lot of brainage packed into that little head of theirs.

Mu--OUCH! Smacked that one right outta the ballpark!

--TwoDragons

Why only 4 feet tall? That's like, Munchkin-sized! Make him life-size and then maybe I'd consider shelling out that amount of money.

Not that I *HAVE* that much money, but still...

Heeheehee! Cute cat! This made both me and my son laugh our heads off!

This guy wants a doormat. then he'll upgrade it to a more permanent doormat, until that one gets old and unattractive.

I'm disgusted with him. And I'd be disgusted with the floozy that moves in with him, too.

This guy has some definite issues.

About the only fascinating exhibit in the whole bunch is the heavy machinery. Trying to explain everything else to my just-shy-of-6-year-old-son who is sitting on my lap...um...took a lot of creativity for such an early hour.

I'm so glad my son loves having a buzz cut like his daddy. Cheap at-home maintenance and lice-prevention all in one!

--TwoDragons

TLAP Day is also my son's birthday! So needless to say, we have a reason to remember it! :-D

He's gonna be six this year. Hee hee, how time flies...

The sound effects totally MADE the video!

We always used kerosene to get rid of the nasty bugs. Mom would lay me on my back in the tub, douse my hair in the nasty stuff, wait a few minutes, shampoo and scrub the heck out of my head, and then comb the critters out with a lice comb. Then I'd spend the rest of the day with a very tender scalp.

To this day the smell of kerosene makes my head itch...

I'm going to try the "salad head" treatment if my kids get it, Madi. It sounds a lot friendlier to the scalp that what I used to have to deal with!

Thanks for posting this, Alex. It's a painful memory, but one that should never be forgotten.

Pol X--LOLZ, yeah, I caught one of your former comments (I think it was in with the flag post) concerning your previous residences. I knew that if there was anyone here who would understand heat avoidance, it was someone who'd spent an appreciable time in Oz. I think even a West Texan would have a hard time in the Outback...

I agree that cars should be better insulated (it's amazing how much of a draft we get around the windows of our 2006 Kia!) and that vehicles would benefit from a considerable amount of scaling-down of the AC unit. Perhaps the delivery system can be modified. A gross amount of energy is wasted trying to cool the back half of the car from the front console. And the air warms up considerably as it travels through the ducts, especially on really hot days.

If car makers can strip a car down to its bare essentials and still keep the safety factor high, then they've gone a long way to improving things. Unfortunately, it's a matter of convincing a very spoiled public just what constitutes a "bare essential"...LOL

Well it's a given we're doomed, since there's proof that Gordon Freeman is on the team. Prepare for Unforeseen Consequences! :-P
