I’ve got nothing, but I did find some cartoons on my laptop when I was cleaning up my files on Sunday.
Tuesday Night Open Thread
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.
A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals
When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?
Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard
American History and Black History can not be separated.
Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.
So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.
Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.
There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.
Alternative history is always a weak argument. Always.
Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.
Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.
Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.
You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.
I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.
Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?
You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.
Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.
Peak wingnut was a lie.
If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.
The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.
People are weird.

Michael Brewer of Brewer and Shipley has passed away per Tom Shipley.
Tom wrote a few hrs ago: “Michael Brewer, my friend of 65 years and music partner for over 60, had to go. I saw him on Saterday at Cox Hospital in Branson and he told me he wanted to go home. He was weak and very tired. They took him home on Sunday and his wife Scarlett called this morning to tell me he was gone. So tonight I will raise a glass to Michael and drink to all those years, all those miles, all those songs, and all the heavenly audiences we played for. Go with God my friendl. I’ll see you on the other side.”
I think most of us know “One Toke Over The Line.”

Biglyfooted! Six minutes may be some kind of record.

@NotMax: I doubt it is a record but I hope they rename them Tuesday Open Thread 1.0 and Tuesday Open Thread 2.0 because it gets confusing if you start reading the comments from the “recent comments” on the sidebar like many of us do.
This Tuesday Open Thread is getting lonely.
I’ll report that I was able to get my 2018 Accord recall work done on the fuel pump. They recalled several million vehicles but had no parts. It took many months for them to get enough of the parts for all the vehicles recalled.
Helpful hints if your Honda is on the recall: They want your gas tank less than half full and call ahead of your appointment to make sure they have the part. The dealers get deliveries all the time but they get installed as quickly as they get them in.

Damn, been over the line and back again countless times. Here’s to ya Michael, thanks for the music and the memories it brings… Now what the hell did I do with that weed pen..
Rusty
That is a beautiful cartoon, I needed that. Thank you for sharing.
sab
That cartoon is so cute.
Everytime I see the “dogs and cats living together” meme (as if it’s weird) I think of Ponyo pitbull asleep on the bed with multiple cats asleep beside her and occasionally on top of her. And wish that Echo the new cat could figure this out. She will eventually. She has only had six months to adjust
ETA My cats might give the bone. My dog would definitely eat the fish instead of giving it away. She crawled under the bed and ate Echo’s dry kibbles this morning. Echo doesn’t even like dry kibbles, but Ponyo didn’t know that. Ponyo couldn’t reach the wet stuff.

And then there was Lawrence Welk.

@NotMax: My parents used to watch the Champagne Musicmaker all the time. I remember doing my best not to bust a gut laughing, because my parents thought it was a wonderful song, because Gail and Dick sang it. If Guy and Ralna would have done that song, the laughter would have been off the charts.
Torrey
@NotMax:
That song, sung by a woman in a white pinafore and whatever that hairdo is called and a man trying hard to look like Pat Boone’s younger, more innocent, brother, is the very definition of cognitive dissonance.

@Doc Sardonic
One of my assignments when worked at an ad agency was to prepare a report on why General Foods should keep advertising Sanka on the Welk program after it was cancelled and went into syndicated reruns. Successful in that the advertising continued.
(The Sanka brand has since been gobbled up by Kraft.)

@Scout211:
Thanks for the tip about the gas tank! I’m still waiting on the notice that the parts are in for my CRV.
WTFGhost
@sab: I believe the meme of “cats and dogs living together” as a sign of the apocalypse was from “GhostBusters” (the original).

I’ve put some new stuff in my Etsy store. No dog theme quilts, sorry, but there are some kitty quilty stuff! My favorite is “Dreaming of a Free Ukraine,” – cats snoozing under flowers!

Perfect.

@jame:
Late getting back. I found it interesting that Brewer had ended up in the Branson, MO area. Seems a lot find God in Branson.
evodevo
@Torrey: I KNOW, lol…I always wondered if anyone explained to Welk what the song was actually about. I used to be subjected to nightly reruns of that show whenever I visited my parents in FL. The visual was gob-smacking. I never said a word, however.

@NotMax: One of my favorites!

@NotMax: OMG!! I had to pass that one along to my friends.
