Lyle McLeod commented on 55: slim pickings, bull church, partly cloudy school, old house, clown drive, church pond, we blow!, 5-7 only, a tight squeeze, meade pyramid, pizza time

Our son has a miniature dachshund whose legs actually are the size of a small breakfast sausage. It’s amazing how fast she can run. She could keep up with our large 18 month old 38kg lab pup, and actually pivot much faster. Regarding the tail, I actually thought about using it to whip team once but K talked me out of it

As Gene Autry once said '"back in the saddle again.'' Or Willey Nelson "on the road again."

Gas-X will generally take care of those tailbrees.

Flat millipede. Possibly black and gold millipede.

Maybe it's the sandwiches that are a closely-guarded secret. Like Mrs Lovett's pies, in Sweeney Todd.

Ths picture alone has almost entirely put me off further visits to the US. Still, a cheap protein source - if you can kill it first...

I wonder whether an increased focus on cake/ ice-cream/ both could have improved things for you? 🤔

Huh. Interesting. I always mistakenly assumed it was from some guy named Kugel (although, come to think of it, I guess it still could if his ancestors were rotund). Now I’m curious about the leakage as well.

Well, Kugel is the German word for sphere.

Now I wonder how it leaked into English and became a specific word for sphere-shaped artifacts.

That was my first thought, and it could be since it was taken near the George Moody Middle School, but there's nothing I could find that indicates it's specifically for deaf students.

Maybe school for deaf?
