Message for Máeráed ...

... in a stunning upset, meatloaf has been beaten in a poll for best loved comfort food by ...
MAC N CHEESE!

Mr Mischief declines comment - but then, he doesn't talk much yet.

And by the way, doesn't Meatloaf look about like Clovis the Computer Jock?

Jed the Mountaineer's fainting goats...

... I have a good friend, a native of the mountains, whose family goes back to the 1790s up here. He once inherited a herd of fainting goats. He told me that if he clapped his hands real loud the goats would faint and fall over.

I didn't believe him. Jed has lots of stories. This one, however, is evidently true.

I saw a resemblance here...

.... One is a picture of the seriously depressed poodle that attacked Jacques Chiroc. That's him, the white fluffy one with the benign expression in the back seat of the car


The other is a picture of Clemens, holding Máeráed and her brother, Mischief.



I wasn't depressed, I was just coming down with a cold and was tired. Though I did feel like biting our provost. Fortunately he was nowhere around.

You have heard me refer to one of my brother's as ...
.... "the Confederate Nut." Just in case you thought Clemens was joking. He's the one in the front.

the one in the saddle.
