I need a catropod…

I am also keen on feeding starving musicians, albeit via other means. (I’m kind of bony and, well, old, too…)

They were never more than passing acquaintances.

I would donate a limb to music.

It looks like Pippin after he stole Aragorn’s boots…

One of the only things more American than baseball is idiocy!

Two of the USA’s favorite pastimes combined!

In homeopathic medicine?

If Nigel Farage thinks that it’s a bad idea, then it’s either a good idea or a stupendously awful idea. Hmmm, I wonder which this one is… 🧐

When we were on safari in South Africa & our guide asked us what we wanted to see, I said “an aardwolf!” He did a double take and told me that I was the first person to make that request in all the time he’d been doing this. Sadly, he noted that they also were rarely seen… ☹️

Is there anything they can’t do?

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Sometimes fruit really does hang low?

Good thing that Wall Street has next to zero memory....

But…. But…. Who is thinking of the Shareholders?!?!!

(Seriously, you’d think that Fox would be…)

Well, the majority of Congress would happily buy guns for their clearly disturbed teens, so...

What mathoms do you have?

And, yeah: the corporations put their thumbs on the scales of all of the elections in 2024. They lost the Tories in the UK, but they got replaced more liberal governments with more conservative ones almost everywhere else. It really is becoming like a dystopian SciFi plot.

Maybe I am suffering from “the grass is always greener” syndrome, but it does seem that we on the left imitate the Liberation & Front & People & Judea Monty Python sketch much more often than does the right. They seem to be pretty adept at uniting behind the “Lesser Good” come November.

… probably affected only one swing state (Michigan).

How many more votes would she have lost? The idea that the Israelis are the bad guys started to become “popular” only after the election. And I wouldn’t be surprised if that is still a minority view in most of the few swingstates that actually affect the election.

That said, “those voters”…

“Vietnam: this time we win” films probably played a role in the big rightward shift for people born in the ‘60s.

That said, SNL did a great parody with the Norris-Stallone teamup “Die, Commie, Die.”

Alternatively, the cards were “woke.”

Why did Edward Murphy never get the Nobel Prize?

Very nice!

I confess, I use my own scripts for printing trees: but I have a very paleo focus to what I want illustrated. Still, I’ve used FigTree when teaching and I’ll probably use PearTree in the future.

I look forward to the first partridge phylogeny rendered in PearTree.

This likely explains why he got a majority positive reactions from the people who saw it: the audience was even more nonrandomly drawn from supporters than usual.

Cambrian Forever!
