I saw that Mentos thing on Countdown last week. Totally hilarious stuff. Almost as good as the Wintergreen Life Savers “sparks in the dark” phenomenon so highly touted back in the roaring 70’s (before O’s time, I’m sure.)
I’ll have you know that we were introduced to that by a camp counsellor when I was in junior high … he took our cabin out one night for a ‘night walk’ w/ no flashlights etc. to experience the dark in the forest.
Like why was he taking us off into the woods to eat mints … seemed sorta funny if you know what I mean … but heck, we went w/ him so that doesn’t say much about us either lol.
We do have a reputation as loons to preserve. Prevail upon me and much more weirdness your way will come. I live for it, ya know. In life and plants… and IT seems to be in a standstill right now… hoping it actually blooms this year!
work. But never get the dark there. But I do know from experience that it’s not just another urban legend. Desultory rain has left the area… sigh. We need a real rain here… waaaahhh… I know that’s all I whine about lately, but still.
I’m actually hearing rumbles of thunder and a bit of rain I think is coming down now, as the radar oracle shows some little areas sliding through now. Not as much as we need, but it’s something!
Nope, no dancing for me, but a lot of hose action earlier tonight. I always call that priming the pump, but it hasn’t worked much lately, and what’s coming through now is what I’d term “desultory thundershowers.” But I’ll take what we can get.
Sorry I didn’t get any CA poppy pics for you today, so I hope you can settle for this one.
That’s gorgeous, IVG! The flowers look vibrant! It will certainly tide me over. I’m on my way to bed and will see all you good froggies in the morning light!
Just checking in with another pic for old time’s sake, from my lunch walks at Point Lobos.
Still struggling with the health situation, wondering if I can go to work tomorrow or afford to miss another day with no sick time to cover? Will see how I feel in the morning….
tonight as well. They’re off snoring in the next room where I must repair very quickly. Glad I was able to ID your pic earlier tonight. I knew that one but had to get an assist from google to be sure. Anyway… you and Olivia behave yourselves now.
Mo bettah…Thanks!
I’ve stopped w/ the adventurous cafes. I think I was scaring people away.
Late Nite should be edgy…the day shift is gonna bust our chops in the sweeps if ya tone it down…Jeezeus, we got some pride, eh. :{)
You’ll have to help me find some links to use … 🙂

And, gotta another vid for ya…The Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments:…insane.

Wasn’t sure if you wanted me to appropriate it.
LOL … I linked to coke&mentos the other night d! 🙂
Remember … This one’s always good for laughs . Unless you’re a bunny fan, which I am most decidedly not.
I’ve tucked that one away … hehehe 🙂
just let me know if they’re my work…
Damn! Old links, I’m losin’ my touch.
I will definitely attribute … most nbly so I don’t take all the blame when the froggies start complaining to management … ;P
even Chris’ Cat…no wonder he’s always posting Pandas…poor guy, must be hard.
He could have one that looked like this sober … or this one wet … 🙂
when he tried an intervention, he got this for his trouble…boyfriend, or maybe pimp…:{)

Seems appropriate, no? 😉
Just wait ’til it’s dark one night …
should send him a case of Wintergreen Life Savers…ya think…Pepa and Rolly would probably enjoy the visuals.
Just thinking of it makes me laugh out loud. 🙂

Amen to that! Whew.

Have you been doing your rain dances?
Nope, no dancing for me, but a lot of hose action earlier tonight. I always call that priming the pump, but it hasn’t worked much lately, and what’s coming through now is what I’d term “desultory thundershowers.” But I’ll take what we can get.

you’ve been gettin’ all that rain, eh? Ya keepin’ secrets from us…eh, eh? The feather’s are just a ruse aren’t they…:{)
Now you all know what I do in my spare time … LOL 🙂

sending all healing energy I can your way. Hope you get better soon.
You can bring those Monterey vistas anytime, I really need a trip to the coast to help me get centered.
Thanks for your good wishes. I’m ready to get better and am taking every known herbal remedy!
Yes, I do miss that coastline… I’m sure I will race back up there on my next vacation, whenever that is…
I hope it doesn’t mean that you can’t sleep tho!
Nope, this is just a fly-by on my way to the sack, hoping for a good night’s sleep! I did pretty well last night, so here’s hoping.
Did ya get A Dirty Shame yet? hehe. And catch the flower I posted up thread for ya, before you hit the sack!
Kick that bug, hon!
that yellow snow… dada should know that one, I’m sure.
My parting shot for the night…

Herby goodness I’m sure everyone will know about. I think this year’s blooms look like they’re worth drying.
See you all on dada’s flip side with Bu taboot!
Pleasant dreams to you and the furry loves. Hope your Monday isn’t too painful … I’ll be thinking of ya in cubeland. {{{IVG}}}
tonight as well. They’re off snoring in the next room where I must repair very quickly. Glad I was able to ID your pic earlier tonight. I knew that one but had to get an assist from google to be sure. Anyway… you and Olivia behave yourselves now.
Seeyas soon …
‘cept you and me…whatta ya think, time to call it?
Gotta go back to FCH tomorrow, so I should get some sleep … 🙁
I’ve got to get a package together for that off-grid project interview…
Sleep well, pleasant dreams…
I’ll leave the barn unlocked so the morning crew can have fresh milk and cream for their coffee…
Moooo
Night
Peace
And good luck w/ your project … {{{d}}}
