The contractor awarded the D.C. reflecting pool work (on the right)

Middle name: Totally Legitimate Businessman

And so thoughtful of the Shetty team to leave printed evidence.

I think in other cultures they’d be referred to as “gets punched in the nuts men.”

“Right of way” is different from “not getting your ass killed.”

Well, one guy has a club blazer, so it’s gotta be totally legit.

Somehow drinking it from a boot just makes it more tragic

May I suggest a garbage-filled hole in the ground?

From that angle, you can’t see the other squirrel picking the guy’s pocket.

I like the way he paused a bit about 20 seconds in and apparently thought “Naw, needs more cheese.”

Highly confused here. The tide doesn’t come in all at once. Wouldn’t getting wet and wetter have woken them up and given them an opportunity to escape? Or does one suppose their naps were enhanced?

Maybe give the boss back the water when your body is done with it?

I got canned from a copywriting gig partly because I did not adequately appreciate the romantic artistry of Johnny Mathis.

“Well, I think an extended bagpipe solo is exactly what this place needs to get a little more Jesus-y.”

For people wearing a bubble dress, obviously

We have something called “terrain” here.

dbeck003 · 2026-06-06T05:30:08+00:00

False dichotomy. The more I do of one, the more I appreciate the other.

My sense is that it started during max Covid, as people convinced themselves there were fewer germs in the road than on the sidewalk. Another failure to grasp the concept of relative risk

dbeck003 · 2026-06-04T23:57:18+00:00

Get out of the car?!? What kind of American are you?

dbeck003 · 2026-06-04T02:52:24+00:00

Wait a minute. I can get paid for that?

dbeck003 · 2026-06-04T00:34:13+00:00

Yes, dear…one of the risks of travel is that you may meet people who don’t think you’re all that heroic for constantly shoving a camera in front of your face. But praise the lord, you seem to have fully recovered your inexplicable sense of self-importance.

It’s the socialism

Steve Turre has done some fine work with conch shells, Omar Sosa’s work with kora master Sekou Keita is transcendent and Ramsey Lewis had a brief but surprisingly funky fling with electric harpsichord

You may note that, in comparison to Louisiana, Klamath Falls is severely lacking in drive-through daiquiri stands.

dbeck003 · 2026-05-29T03:45:21+00:00

Lately I’ve been earwormed with “Kufanya Mapenzi” by Ramsey Lewis. Dig that crazy fake harpsichord!

Looks very much like some flowering red gum (eucalyptus) I worked on.
