Pak-a-Burger Has the Best Hamburgers
Bar nun.
I took these photos and a few more a few years ago; It was a beautiful spring day and I was driving past when I noticed two nuns sitting in front waiting on their orders. I stopped, approached them and told them exactly what I wanted to do with the photos if they allowed me to take them. They both giggled and gave their consent.
They told me their names, but I can't remember them now after a couple of years. I'm pretty sure one was "Sister Mary" or maybe "Sister Teresa" but maybe I'm just hedgin' my bet with those guesses.
On a related note, the building was repainted, thank God. Seriously, thank God that it was repainted, thank God it changed hands. The burgers were horrible then after the change of ownership. The building is back to its original white and the food is back to being delicious again, especially the burgers.
About the only thing it had goin' for it, I guess, was that the customers were good.

It Smells Like
I don't know, don't care, but it certainly smells like another round of layoffs on the way.
THAT would smell like roses.

Free Spider Chart
(click image for larger view)
This really won't help me much, as it's awfully hard to identify what sort of spider itis was from the goo under my shoe.
Get yours from termite.com
(or save this one and let me take all the resulting spam for you!)
EDIT: I remembered a few more spider posts I've made. How could I forget? -shudder-
I had a spider on my towel once.
And there was an art-loving spider.
And more recently there was some spider software , a creepy application and another creepy thing.

Sometimes Life Treats Me
Like a red-headed stepchild.
I posted that and the following graphic on a forum not long ago and was taken to task by a few virtue signalers that it wasn't right to mock child abuse. Uh, I'm pretty sure that black eye isn't real. Who knows? The kid might have run into a door or got the black eye in a playground spat...or maybe he's a cross dresser and just didn't know how to apply the mascara he stole from his mother?
Their outrage was funnier than the joke and THEY were mocked for it by others in the forum.

Texas Women
From the 
archives:
archives:Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties. The first man had married a woman from Ohio and had told her that she was going to do dishes and house cleaning.
It took a couple days, but on the third day he came home to a clean house and dishes washed and put away.
The second man had married a woman from New Mexico. He had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking.
The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table.
The third man had married a girl from Texas and her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal.
He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a bite to eat and load the dishwasher.

ALTO!
From landelli.com.mx, a 404 page that literally stops you in your surfing tracks.
Although, I think stop signs in Mexico say "ALTO" and also in Central and S. America. The website is in Spanish, but I guess only stupid gringos like me click on broken links, hence the English 404 page.

The Streisand Effect
The term refers to the 2003 attempt by Barbara Streisand to keep photos of her home from being posted online. It is now used to describe the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely.

Marcato Atlas 150 Classic
I like this video and would really like to have one of these pasta rollers.
Not crazy about the bass line in the jazzy tune, though.

Tomato Soup Typo
I've got a lot of these saved up but had forgotten about them; I was thinking that they'd make a great "Recipe Typos" label/category.
This one is from today (which is why I remembered the others I have been taking screen shots of) from the LuckySamples website, one of their daily recipe offerings. (click pic f/ larger size)
At first, I thought "What are 'candiced' stewed tomatoes? Are they from some region in Italy called "Candice"?" I then wondered if it was a typo for "candied tomatoes"? Ugh.
Then it dawned on me there was a space missing between "can" and "diced". Duh. My thick-headed thinking is funnier than the actual typo.
Not to me, but probably is to you.

Love Will Show Us How - Christine McVie
Cute little spoof of rock videos set to one of my most favorite pop songs.
Noticed a couple hits on this, came to the post only to see the vid had been taken down. That's the trouble with YouTube....
Found another, though. Enjoy! (while you can)
