Does the set of all sets contain itself?
Does the barber shave himself?
Fun fact: I played the barber in a college production of Man of LaMancha. As a result, I was the only male in the cast that remained clean-shaven.
Which was fortunate, since at the time, my attempt to grow a beard made me look like, and I’m quoting my girlfriend at the time, “Satan’s wimpy little cousin.”

Oh how cruel.
Especially since it’s the first Sunday in Daylight Saving Time.

I just like saying it. It makes me smile a little.
I get it. Swasticars came up a few times over dinner last night.
Just saw an article from a Neurologist claiming DST is majorly bad for one’s health. I don’t quite believe that-- sure all kinds of accidents due to grogginess but he was imo over the top. I do think we should pick one & just stick w/ it. I’d prefer DST over standard.
I think the split 'tween folks who prefer standard vs DST very roughly is Parents w/ school age kids want standard & adults w/o or grown kids prefer the extra hour of light from DST.
Not at all. At the time, she was 100% correct.
My facial hair has since become quite lush, in exact inverse proportion to the hair on top. sigh

So, this penguin is driving from Chicago to L.A. on Route 66. He wants to see all the weird little tourist traps, stay in the motel that looks like teepees, take a picture with a giant plaster dinosaur, all that jazz. He even spent some time restoring a '59 El Camino to take the trip. Fully restored, number’s matching 348 cid TurboThrust V8 with a 4 barrel carb and a 4 speed manual, new paint, a set of fuzzy dice, the whole bit. So he took off one summer day and set out to see America.
All was going fine, he’d gotten through the midwest uneventfully, with plenty of BBQ sampling through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. But as he traveled further south, the weather became punishingly hot. And the El Camino didn’t have A/C. He was really feeling it, and frankly, so was the car. He was diligent keeping the radiator full, but, about 40-50 miles west of Flagstaff, the temp gauge shot up, smoke started wisping up from the hood, and he eventually had to pull over. Thankfully, there was cell reception, so he got AAA to tow him to the nearest garage.
The mechanic was friendly enough, asking the penguin how his trip was going (other than the car trouble), admiring all the body work he’d done. He said he’d dig into it and try and find the problem, but it might take an hour or so. With the temp well over 100F, the penguin decided to find someplace more comfortable to wait. He walked across the street to a convenience store, and asked the clerk if, what with being a penguin and all, he’d mind if he waited inside his freezer. The clerk said ok, and the penguin settled down in the freezer with a book. He even bought a few of those vaniilla dixie cup ice creams, making, frankly, a huge mess of himself, the ice cream smeared all into his feathers around his beak and chest.
Suddenly, he realized he’d lost track of time. He hopped out of the freezer and quickly ran over to the garage, to find the mechanic waiting for him behind the counter. “Well?” said the penguin.
“Looks like you blew a seal.” said the mechanic.
“What?” said the penguin. “Oh, no. That’s just ice cream.”

In that case, nature is cruel.
I know people who took 'hair formula ‘supplements’ to stave off losing hair.
It turns out the hair that grew wasn’t where they wanted it to grow.
That’s just nature. Lose hair on top of your head while it starts sprouting out your ears.

Enough with the cats - Beagle Time!
Well, to be sure, it never was a foot long. The sandwich, I mean - didn’t they get sued over that?
Not sure if this was ever true vs. being a spoof, because it doesn’t offer that option now.
Not sure if this one is a repost or not. I scrolled up quite a way and didn’t see it, but it seems familiar.
Genius!
Now it all makes sense.
