From a slightly different angle, this made me laugh today, when I saw it elsewhere:

This may be terrible, depending on your frame of reference but a Scottish friend posted it on FB today.

Q:  How can I tell Mick Jagger from a Scotsman?

A:  Mick Jagger says, "Hey! You! Get off of my cloud!"  while a Scotsman says, "Hey! MacLeod! Get off of my ewe!"

I've never heard of it.  Does it come shrink wrapped or something?

Packet meat.

I was hoping for something better than canned meat, and was pleasantly surprised.

But holy poo was it spicy.

I feel like if it were seasoned less I'd buy more, but that was a scorcher. Very enjoyable tacos, but I can still feel the burn.

I thought it was going to be more like shredded beef, instead it was beef crumble.

Pleasantly surprised, but I'm not going to make it a staple. A half pound was plenty for dinner.

Made fresh cream scones for breakfast.  Someone gave me a quart of heavy cream so I froze it in ziploc bags in amounts called for in the recipe.  The fat separates, so I had to add water to the bag to get the rest of the clinging fatty bits out.  The dough was a bit wet, but the scones turned out well.  Still, they'd probably have been better without frozen cream.

A few from the Garden of Eden:
God created Adam before he created Eve because he didn't want someone telling him how to create Adam.

So the night before Christmas, Adam turned to his wife and said, "It's Christmas, Eve."

How long did Cain hate his brother? As long as he was Abel.

We are watching Mandy with Diane Morgan.  She's really willing to make herself look ridiculous for a laugh and largely succeeds.  There's a good supporting cast, too with occasional visits from some other serious actors -- BBC series regulars.  It's pretty entertaining.

I once visited a friend in Las Vegas for two weeks during July, the hottest part of the summer.  The average daily temperature outside was 120.  So one might think you'd want to run around in shorts and a slight top, but no.  The sun was intense and the few rain showers that happened consisted of sprinkles that lasted a few minutes and barely wet the top soil.

One afternoon, I decided to take a walk in the nearby desert (she lived on the northern edge of the city near the airport and there weren't really any other houses out there at the time).  I wore long corduroy pants, a long sleeve shirt and a hat and boots.  I wasn't hot at all. 

The clothes were for protection since the dry heat would dehydrate me quickly.  I was advised to turn back the minute I felt tired or thirsty.  The vegetation was mostly scrub brush and the lizards zipped around in the heat, but I don't think wearing less would have been a good idea.  It soon became clear to me why men and women in the middle East would wear clothing that covered them to such an extent.

Indeed it is.  I guess if we were speaking German we could be more specific.  But yeah, it's a train whether it's underground or spanning a road intended for vehicular traffic.

Dune 2.
I read a film review post about above film on a sadbook, and a person stated in the posts that
"it wasn't culturally represented" with the choice of actors.
The replies were funny.
They again defended their post stating that as the author drew his storyline from "the middle east" they should have been more representation from that area and religion (never read the books, so assuming that the religion was Islamic).
I left it there as it went from funnily interesting to not.
