Gee whiz, it has a slight metallic taste, even with that orange reduction sauce.

Damn it, I forgot my towel!

I don't know about you, but I'll be sipping on a "Fire In The Sky" down at Dosa as the world winks out of existence. See you on the other side or in the morning depending who is right about tonight.

FIRE IN THE SKY: Black Grouse Scotch, Pimm’s No. 1, peach, lemon, black cardamom!

So this is it, we're going to die!

Some Bridge.

What's the name of this bridge? (smart alec replies are encouraged)

Who took this photo?

What did the Tillerman eat for lunch today? 

Friday Flyover.

The target has been aquired!

Post flight.

Post flight report: Nothing remains of Tom, the wild turkey. He will be remembered for his full flavor and rich texture.

There's Got To Be A Morning After.

If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the Dawn
Let's keep on lookin' for the light

Oh, can't you see the morning after
It's waiting inside the sink
Why don't we rinse the dishes together
And find a place that's safe and warm

San Francisco. (West Of Newark)

Is not New Jersey!

 

"Joe, I lived in Baydog's cold, wet New Jersey. I worked in New Jersey. New Jersey was home to me.

Joe, this is no New Jersey. Now get off my lawn and play in the street!"

Now that's what I call a parade!

Wave Of The Day.

Let's take a quiz, stolen from Penelope's favorite sailor. Mind you, the photo above has nothing to do with sailing.

So the questions are...

1. What are we looking at?

2. Which way are we looking?

3. Where was the photo taken from?

4. What did Tillerwoman and Tillerman have for lunch? (I don't know how this is relevant. But, what the hell!)

5. Where is the nearest phone box that isn't a phone box? (What's a phone box? Is it a Tardis like thingy?)

A frat party that got out of hand?

"Taiwan recently entered a mounting dispute over islands in the East China Sea by sending ten ships from the Taiwanese coastguard accompanied the fishing boats on their protest, which lasted longer than 24 hours. When near the coast of the islands, Japanese ships got in their way, both sides started firing water cannon at each other. Taiwan's coastguard demanded over a loudspeaker that the Japanese ships respect Taiwan's territory." At least they didn't start shooting live rounds at each other.

"The islands at the center of the dispute are a small archipelago off the coast of Taiwan, claimed by China, Japan, and Taiwan itself. They are dubbed the Senkaku in Japan, the Diaoyu in China and the Tiaoyutai in Taiwan. Japan annexed the islands from China in 1895 and has controlled them ever since, except when the country was administered by the US from 1945 to 1972. The waters surrounding the islands are rich fishing grounds, and a 1968 geological survey discovered possible oil and gas reserves in the area." Ah-ha, follow the money!

Yes kids, adults are mature. You need to pay attention to them.

Tillerman Tuesday. (For Emily, Penelope And Kate.)

Emily, if you squint your eyes closey together, you'll see the Tillerman leading a fleet of heroic sailors back from another dangerous mission to keep the seas safe for sailing.

Fish On Fridays.

This ain't no place to be if you're planning on being a star
Let me tell you it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if you're acting like a fool

Working at the car wash (oh oh, yeah yeah)
At the car wash, yeah (ooh ooh ooh)
At the car wash (ow said, now come and work it with me now, yeah)

Fill it up, right away

[Missy Elliott:]
Work at the, car wash
Sharks in the water make they jaws lock
When I swim through the grim, I'm too hot
Y'all can make y'all bets
Y'all small tuna fish, I'm one big catch
Shark slayer, bow down playa
'Cause this right here will be your worst nightmare (nightmare)
Work that, work that, pop back, hurt that
Turn this up and bang it all up in the surface

(Work and work)
9 to 5 I got to keep that fat stack coming
(Work and work)
No matter how big the shark is, the right keep running

What You Won't See In The Olympics.

Stand Up Bamboo Punting!

Laser!

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Screw This Race.

I'm going for a swim!
I wonder how this came about?

Primal Footwear.

5 Fingers? Converse?
If going barefoot was good enough for Socrates, it's good enough for me. (Mind you, maybe not on city sidewalks. I'll wear my Vibrams. You never know what a dog has left as a regalo for you to step in.) You can keep your Pumas, Team Puma!
