I believe this portends the end of the patriarchy but, nevermind me, I'm an optimist.

Sorry neighbors..I felt the need to make a giant dick on the roof ‘tis the season*
** UPDATE** Past 48 hours have been crazy, I just want to say the news is making it seem like all the neighbors are angry . I never got a personal complaint , I have had tons of neighbors reach out to me saying they LOVE IT! The neighbors that were interviewed on the news came over to my house and chuckled with me and they got me a very kind card
Also to the people saying I did this for attention- it was a joke with my own personal family I didn’t think I would make Germany headlines! I live in a pretty wooded neighborhood I rarely see kids honestly. It never crossed my mind.
I’m definitely getting more thumbs up than downs.
I have had multiple radio interviews it’s been fun. Thanks to all the companies reaching out to me and having a good sense a humor. At the end of the day I have brought laughter and that’s what I want to hear
Thanks y’all it’s been a hoot

I don’t know what’s funnier, the actual roof penis or all the bleeps in the video.
There will be no recipe thread this evening. Or probably ever again as I am permanently banned. LOL
Open thread
(Also: we have started a duck youtube channel. stay tuned for update. I said DUCKS you perverts).

So many second amendment absolutists, yet a local station feels they can’t broadcast a picture that looks like a penis? Or say the word penis?
Baud
I for one am glad we aren’t thinking of the children.
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
This is relevant

Tangentially food related. Can a musical instrument be non-kosher?
Apparently so.

Oh, lord…’tis the season…?
Hurray for ducks, though, right?

@Doug R:
And the thing is, it’s not an actual pee-pee. It’s just a worm that looks like a pee-pee.
Baud
In all honesty, I never knew of the penis fish before. Nature is pretty amazing.

“Dear diary, Well, this has truly been the oddest beach vacation of all.”
Goku (aka Amerikan Baka)
@Baud:
That’s the kind of visionary thinking that’s going to make you president, Baud!
jl
@Baud: It’s really a penis worm, but I guess penis fish is more palatable.
Baud
@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): Baud!/Penis! Fish! 2020!: Two dicks for the price of one!

Well, there goes another ad company.

R.I.P. Norm the cat Mayor of Midtown Sacramento. Your zaftig presence will be missed. Norm made Tunch appear svelte.
Martin
And people wonder where California’s liberal birth control and abortion attitude comes from. A beach full of dicks makes you rethink some things.

@trollhattan: Aww, I didn’t know Midtown had a kitty mayor. Sad.
oldster
On my aging machine, the text loads before the pictures, so have an idea of what I am going to see, before I see it.
“Penis fish, eh? Probably named from some faint, fanciful resemblance. Wonder what they will look like…”
[pictures load]
“Oh my god. They’re penis fish.”

And CA now has a million rooftop solar installations. 9GW capacity. 3x target.
Gin & Tonic
Great thread, then, to post this.
On a slightly more serious note, a nice article on the 50th anniversary of Hot Rats.

@Gin & Tonic:
That, and “Weasels” probably remain my favorites. Only saw Frank once and boy am I glad I did.

@spudgun:
Norm first hit the news when the animal shelter put out word of a really, really corpulent cat having been brought it. Basically an animal control officer misunderstanding that took off because EVERYBODY knew Norm and would trek to his neighborhood for lunchtime skritches. After than, the sky was the limit. At least as far as Norm could jump.
The Dangerman
Who do we have to thank (profusely) for no videos or stills of gulls, um, feeding on the peni$ fish?
spudgun
@trollhattan: Norm is such a great name for a cat.
RIP, furry boo…

On a related note, I’d like to share one of m favorite practical jokes (up there with salting a bed and giving someone an upper-decker) to mention to people in hopes that it takes the world by storm. What you do is, tell a friend really into hot chili peppers that you have “the latest and greatest, hottest chili in the world, and here are some seeds for yourself”. But instead of a Carolina Reaper (or whatever it is today), you give them a batch of Peter Peppers. They’ll spend weeks-to-months telling everyone they know that they have the hottest chilis in the world. But gradually, something won’t seem right until one day they realize they have a plant in their yard growing a bunch of big, red dicks.

@Keith P: How many pecks of pickled peter peppers could Peter Pepper pick?
And: YAY! for TaMara’s Duck YouTube!

Duck spell checks, Fat innkeeper fish synonyms and pics, and short for Richard names are going to be the death of advertising on this blog.
Duane
@CaseyL: Duck YouTube, yeah right. She’s just trying to fool the advertisers.

So this is what it will look like when the wymen folk takes over, penis everywhere? Yes well all fun and games until someone’s eye gets put out.
Her account of the media’s faux rage over it sure says a lot about the press. More like the Russian trolls are taking credit for something the corporate press has already done.
