Living Like Royalty!

To live like royalty, it's crucial to employ

the table manners and eating etiquette

of the upper classes and your betters.

You must invest 13 minutes of your time

to watch this instructional video

entitled "Eat (Like) The Rich" by

the Irish humorist Garron Noone.

However, be forewarned.

He DOES use some lower middle class language in this video.

What's In YOUR Cupboards?

Surprisingly, I do NOT have any

Captain America / Winter Soldier

glasses or mugs --

But I DO still have my

plastic Yogi Bear mug

from when I was a pre-schooler!

I hope all the paint I ingested off the rim

wasn't toxic. Consumer safety regulations

were SO lax in the early 1960s.

Thank Gawd I Had the Fish 'n Chips

Top of the Fridge

Well, from the top of MY fridge, 

you'd get a pair of red silicone oven mitts, 

an antique bronze statuette 

and a red china teapot.

The bronze statuette is the only thing of value, I suppose.

 

It depicts a small cherubic Cupid hammering out

an arrowhead on his anvil. Someone gifted it to 

my paternal grandfather about a hundred years ago or so

because he and his father before him were both blacksmiths,

as well as being farmers and millers.

The statuette eventually came down to my father

and then to me to be its guardian.

Here's a back view so you can see

Cupid's cute little wings and bare bum.

So, what would we find 

on top of YOUR fridge, hmmm?

Tell all in the comments!

Thursday Art Date With Rain -- "Snowman"

Welcome to Rain Frances' first Art Date of 2022!

We've got lots of snow in Edmonton but unfortunately, 

it's not wet enough to actually make a snowman for this post, 

so I've resorted to photos of My Rare One's 

vintage blow mold snowman instead! 

This dapper gentleman lives 

between her two garage doors, 

securely fastened in place by 

looped electrical wire around his neck 

which then goes inside the garage. 

It looks a bit like he's being garroted but 

I assure you all, he's fine. 

He lights up the back alley at night 

with his internal 100 watt lightbulb!

As per usual, I'll pad out the rest of this post 

with LOLs and memes from the internet -- 

enjoy these goofy varieties of snowmen!
