Random Thoughts Anew

Unrelated to anything above.

I'm very pleased that a young woman in a lab coat won Miss America this time.

But since she obviously knew the result would include tertiary-colored foam columns shooting into the air and cascading over the desk, it's not really an "experiment, is it?

Wouldn't that come under the heading of a lab demonstration, or a "show-n-tell" event?

Just being nitpicky, really.

I keep going back and marveling over the whole thing, watching all the cascading colors....

If there were a contest for the best political gaff, of less than seven words during 2019, might it be "Pocahontas"?

I find myself wondering whether or not mules lactate. Any views on that?

RE: A music festival in Tenn.

There appears to be some 70 musical acts [bands] performing on the occasion.  However, I do not recognize, by name, any of the group/artist participants, save one.

Miley Cyrus, the celebrity actress-singer will be there.  Many, perhaps, would not recognize her due to a change in her "looks".  My Google sources state that she has changed to a "Mullet" style hair do. Others signed on for the event, I suppose, will continue to sport more "Crappie" like hair designs. Having previewed Ms. Cyrus' change, I think that she is on the right track!

As to my previous post:  What am I doing wrong?  Help me as I strive for perfection, please! Oh, a Crappie is a type of fish, as is a Mullet!
My remarks are really meant to be like a pun, your know, "A pun, a play upon words, a pun.  Two thirds of a pun, P U"!

As I am exposed to this trifling issue every day, I have decided to get some other "takes" on it, from y'all.  Almost every time I buy something from a person or machine, I am given a choice as to whether I want the receipt for the purchase.  When I take the, already printed, receipt, the clerk, when a person is the cashier, does something with the receipt.  In many instances, I am quite sure that the clerk is keeping my receipt separate for some purpose.  So, are businesses, persons, etc. saving up the receipts to be able to write them off of taxable amounts? Some of the people that offer the receipts seem to have a bit of a bad attitude or a queer visual appearance when I say that I do want my receipt.  Is that a clue that something is amiss in business operations, accounting, etc.?

This may be why that, as business is up, tax inflow into IRS coffers is reported to be down. Thus, we the people are getting robbed.  I am not totally sure, but this may well be true!

Go home now, or do one more semi productive task, is my current thought exercise...

I've never been a fan of her but she did a great job of covering  Say Hello to Heaven from Temple of the Dog.

Last night I had a dream in which a dog sprouted wings and flew around like some canine gryphon.  My dreams don't usually have such surreal imagery.

Maybe this belongs on the fauna thread?  Except it wasn't exactly what one would call natural....

Hybrids fit in well with medieval art history.

Maybe we should start a thread on fantastic animals we have known.

I had a student who used to do a great imitation of that gargoyle on the side of Notre Dame--you know, the one with its chin in its hands and its jaw sticking out?

Sometimes I could even joke her out of it by pointing to the sculpted moule of the same figure that her mom had sitting in the room.

I always wondered if she was doing it on purpose.

How about the dreams thread?

Didn't realize we had one.  Thanks!

Weird. I can't find it now.

Is there a nightmare thread.  If so, maybe some of the dream interpretation experts here might offer germane comments re those, huh?
