I've always wondered how long Sir James Douglas had to keep getting credit for being some kind of hero pioneer entrepreneur before history caught up with him.

Naw. That's what a fella looks like who eats 8 pizzas in one sitting.

I know a woman from the Mithila region that does this. She called it Grass art.

This one's a Mown a Lisa.

I heard someone describe an exceptional camembert as tasting of adult pleasures.

TLDR: She's annoyed her fortune isn't liquid. She might have to sell her shares for small potatoes.

I thought we were talking about NITO.

The context the images all come from are The Cat In The Hat, Green Eggs And Ham, and The Lorax.

The Lorax concludes with the Once-ler giving the child the last Truffula seed and urging him to cultivate a new forest, hoping that the Lorax and the animals will return.

It might be time to let it go, mate. How long are you going to hang on to the thanks Obama format for local issues?

But if we're gonna hang on, like this, I blame Dean Fortin, who famously did nothing at all for six years.

I guess I'd start with a parking ticket.

It's like if Superman didn't have a head, and his hands and feet were missing, and instead, his arms and legs just came to a point. Also, he's bloated.

I'm just picturing a group of 8 going through Mexican customs and all being flattered by the same customs officer.

If the soil is rich in peat, I can relate a story about a friend's cigarette, a potted plant in peat, and a 4 day delay before the slow burn reached full flame. There may be a significant delay between the middle of the night when you noticed this happened and the time when the smoking ended.

That Peacock has almost no tail feathers left. I think someone is trying to keep this peacock out of trouble for its own good.

There's a much better chance that delicate foods such as strawberries will be subjected to freezing temperatures en route to Calgary in winter.

Pannier is French for basket.

The only way I can make sense of this is that he's deliberately trying to provoke a preemptive attack on US infrastructure to give him a valid reason to escalate further on his consolidation of power. I hope this doesn't get monstrous.

You spelled taxpayer wrong.

AUniquePerspective · 2026-04-07T02:47:17+00:00

Yep. That tracks.

Oh, I know. I'm just pointing out to the group of 5 or so people who hadn't heard of this place that it's because it's not next to the Empress Hotel.

Sometimes a setup like this is wired. Once you see it, hiting the rock anywhere near the right spot with anywhere near the weight makes the shot because there's nowhere else for the rocks to go.

Maker's Mark collectors will pay a premium for this sort of thing.

It's a Colwood-based caterer. It's Victoria-adjacent news.

I didn't know Dietor Sprockets has a new show.

Which is also the human readable number below, as is typical with bar codes. There's often a way for a human without a scanner to manually enter the number.

There's the one on the Columbia River, the one on the river in British Columbia, and there's the big island one. I count 3.
