Admittedly it’s a while since I was in an American grocery store

They sell “XL” carrots and cucumbers now?
And what, keep them in the “marital aids” section?

This is how Tiny Dink may well look when she’s old but at least she’ll still be able to fly, with those ears.

The article linked to by Tumblrrinserepeat is about an artist’s representation of last meals requested by prisoners on death row and served to them. (This info is available in the records on a prison website in Texas, if not other others in the US; it’s no joke).

I’m going to have a long hard think about what I’d want in such a situation. That meal has to be perfect.

I will start though by saying nothing there made me feel hungry and for God’s sake serve the food on a plate befitting my status as a human being. ie a china plate and not a hose-down plastic platter the same colour as the duds you made me wear. And give me a proper knife and fork, plus a spoon for pudding, or can’t I be trusted with those either?

Freud Eggs: Glass Onion

Inspired take here on the baffling lyrics of one of the Beatles’ trippiest songs.
I can almost see Lennon nodding at this analysis, with that understated smile of his.


And Jung would give her an A.
I never got a handle on Freud though so I’m not prepared to say more on him. One doesn’t like to be too familiar around Freud; he seemed so stuffy.
Still it’s great to see him taking an interest in pop music and common folks like the lads from Liverpool.

Special request to Lia: perhaps an essay about Freud and his relevance (or lack of) today, some time in the near future. I’d love to see what you come up with.

Which could you live with more easily:

1) A double chin and a heavy body with thick thighs
2) Emasculation, wrinkles and frailty
3) Which DO you live with (in yourself or others) and does any of it make you gag?


I bet everyone avoids this question. Although people do surprise me sometimes. Anyone?
