It’s passed its goal by four fold.

The tank I’m building will hold 130 gallons and still have room for my land box

This is some absolutely hilarious stuff :

A Twitter feed beginning June 29th and starts with the ominous

Just had conversation with a British couple who have a holiday home near us [in France]. They voted for Brexit and have made no arrangements whatsoever for what happens on Jan 1. They have now discovered the reality of their situation.
The blame apparently is with “Brussels”.

The above link is a summary from day one of the drama until July 2. And yet it’s still going on!

If you ever wondered how Britain got themselves into such a pickle…

Almost died of laughter reading it. Some highlights if you don’t have the time:

He wants to know if the Mayor could be "squared away with a “good drink” and if he was open to a “deal”.
I again said the Mayor is not who he needs and that this is all an EU matter, I suggested he contact Ursula von der Leyen.

He asked if I have her number.

Next:
I am not sure if it is in the power for a regional French Mayor to fix Brexit but we shall see, he’s a bright guy. :laughing:

Weird son’s facebook page:

"Off to France tomorrow to sort out stuff for my parents house. Not going to let some Frogs push my family around, Brexit is about not letting them push us around anymore. Might have to go to Brussels as well if they no listen. Wish me luck "

He just sent me a message asking how far is it from my house to Brussels. I said about 850km.

He then asked for the distance in miles as he,

“Doesn’t do French lengths”

On MEPs losing jobs:

“Nigel Farage !, They sacked him after all he did for Britain. That is a disgrace”

I explained that as the UK was no longer a member of the EU it of course no longer has political representation there.

This he said was “typical of the EU, they are punishing Britain because of Brexit”

Real or not, it’s just too funny to stop reading!

A wonderful symbol of the karmic cycle. Buddha approves!

Is there a more apt analogy for the human condition? I think not. We all pass through the tortured sphincter of the world after we experience the gastrointestinal convulsions of life, that great worm that merely makes fertilizer for Gaia’s continued cycle of respiration. Our lives only find true meaning as they pass through the anus of life, that most noble pursuit we reduce to that one necessary syllable that all sentient beings dread, death. We are all water beetles passing through the anus of the great predator known as life.

At least that’s what last night’s fortune cookie said. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Of course not. Delivery or take away only.

But the tapeworm carpaccio was delightful. :wink:

I’m sure the tapeworm agrees!

At least this helps answer the age old question “What’s up his ass?”.

If I have a tapeworm it’s either the laziest tapeworm ever, or I’m such a glutton that I eat so much so fast that it can’t keep up, because I’d be awful pissed if I had one and was still this fat. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Blurred because some may find my humour less than appetizing

Do you guys remember that urban legend (I guess they used to be called old wives’ tales) that you could extract a tapeworm by putting a piece of chicken on your open mouth. The tapeworm is helpless to resist the bait and launches out to grab it. Then you grab its head and yank it out. Easy!

Anyways, you could try that with your butt!

As you’ve no doubt heard me say, my mom was a crazy cat lady all about rescue vs buy.

so we’ve actually done it with kittens. We’d bring them home and see the little buggers wiggling as they hung and mom would just say "grab it and pull it out. Mom was not one you’d disobey, so of course we followed orders. Also, if we started them on the worms meds occasionally the deceased worms would do it minus the wiggles, so there’s yet another horrible circumstance in which we did that.

I hope you didn’t unblur that if you’ve got a weak stomach.
