This is neat. As thick as a "tyre" (silly Brits with their dumb spelling) is a bit of a stretch. Maybe as thick as a golf cart tire. But still very cool.

Why is the guy scuba diving wearing a button-down shirt?
 
Anybody else got the Westminster dog show on? I just keep thinking please don’t let a fancy groomed poodle win again.

We recorded it. So far we've only watched the hound group. That pekingese that won a year or 2 ago was pretty fucking ugly.

Somehow they judge this to be the best looking dog in the world.

Well, "Best in Show" is not "Best Looking Dog". It's the best example of the breed, like how accurate it is to the standard for that breed. I think they also consider the dog's personality and behavior, and how it walks and follows commands.

But yeah, it looks like a bloated tick. Which is why I could never be a dog show judge. I also couldn't be an art critic. This oil painting by a guy I never heard of sold for over $46 million last year. The guy couldn't even bother to give it a freaking title.

It's like how I love Rock Lobster by the B-52s. But sadchild's idea of hell is being forced to listen to that song. My idea of hell is being stuck next to some thug on a Harley with straight pipes, jackhammering around at 130 decibels, while I'm in my convertible. But that thug apparently loves frying his brain that way.

Mrs. Scotch and I like seeing the dogs we think are cute at Westminster, but the rest of it is not for us. You know what they say: different strokes for different folks.

One of my professors took us on a field trip to a house that he designed for a couple.
They had two large Rothko's in the living room.

To quote Michael Pena from Ant-Man......they were sublime.
 
IDK if this should go here or in the new Fatball thread but I've had Athena on a diet for a while now and it's working. on 11.18.23 she was 12.4 lbs. I weighed her on 5.27.24 and she's down to 10.6 lbs. Alexa says a normal female cat should be 8 to 12 lbs so she's just about normal for her average build. I want to get her down another .5 lb. Her diet is half a cup of food twice a day. That was a big change for her from normally having a big bowl of food at all times. When I go to Disney or anywhere for more than a night she still gets the big bowl so she must be happy to see me leave hah.

My cat has got the 1/2 can morning and night forever. But any less and your face becomes tasty.
