I have been looking for a bandana for Buddy. I don’t know if they make what i want.
I want an orange bandana with 2 inch-ish Giants logos on it.
Orange and Black. 🙂
Beautiful, but not what it looked like when I was there. The forest fires had reduced visibility to the point that you couldn’t see the mountains. It was still a fun trip. For me the two days in Olympic National Park were the best part.
I love it. The Creature from the Black Lagoon makes for a stunning sight coming down the avenue as part of (I presume) the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.
8 chickens and 7 pigs (work and check in box)
P.S.:
No more comments today. I don’t have time.
Given:
Heads of pigs and chickens total 15
Legs of pigs and chickens total 44
Let “x” be the number of chickens
Then (15 – x) is the number of pigs
∴ 2x is the number of chicken legs and 4(15- x) is the number of pigs legs
So:
2x + 4(15 – x) = 44
expanding
2x + 60 – 4x = 44
collecting
-2x = -16
x = 8
∴ the number of chickens is 8
15 – 8 = 7
∴ the number of pigs is 7
Check:
2 legs × 8 chickens = 16 legs
4 legs × 7 pigs = 28 legs
16 legs + 28 legs = 44 legs
I can’t explain it or justify it, but I get a “vibe” from this beautiful photo that the lady is doing her impression of the dog, not the other way around. Or it’s totally photoshopped. That’s a fairly common expression for dogs, and this lady looks to me like someone who has a good sense of humor. This is her dog, who she loves and who loves her, and she sees the silliness in mimicking Fido. Her grandkids, if she has any, love it.
depending on where one lives, it still seems odd that if one is going to the trouble to commemorate jumping into a puddle, wouldn’t it be logical to celebrate it when it ISN’T potentially frozen?

Giants as in the San Francisco Giants baseball team? The New York Giants football team? Goliath or Jolly Green?
San Francisco Giants.
I forget that there is another… 🙂

This breed always looks surprised, and at least slightly concerned.
NOSE!
Seattle
I must go one day.
I don’t see Dennis.
he’s in that cluster of buildings oft the left. see?
I think he’s waving

I was up there long before the relatively recent spate of fires.
Yes, the surrounding area is beautiful, but Seattle itself was confusing.
…
For me the 3 days lost on Channel Island were the worst part…
Even after I looked at my watch and discovered that it was really only 3 hours.
Honestly, I thought I’d never get home or see my poor soon-to-be orphaned doggie again. 😢
….
OK…. so I didn’t really have a dog.
But it was scary anyway.😁
We’d either stop in Bellingham or punch straight through to the Orgon Coast (Hi, Happy!)
The few times I actually drove through Seattle was some of the most terrifying driving I’ve ever done!

Not-man Robotwell?
This seems to be almost up there with the Mona Lisa in terms of the number of parodies I’ve seen.
Um, yeah, I think some guy named Norman Rockwell did a pretty good parody of it…
With a human instead of a robot.
Those four lads from Liverpool crossing the street must be close.
NOSE?
more humans
The woman in the red bathing suit is Elisani Silva, of Brazil…
A hair under 6’10”, and not the tallest woman in the world.
That “honor” goes to Rumeysa Gelgi, of Turkey, at just under 7’1″ , according to Guinness.

Spider Man?!
They rebranded balloons before.
But that does seem a long time ago.
I love it. The Creature from the Black Lagoon makes for a stunning sight coming down the avenue as part of (I presume) the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.
NOSE!

Look out from above!
I keep thinking I see a polar bear in the middle of the curl.
or something!

glad I don’t live next door
One of the times simple algebra comes in handy…
7 pigs and 8 chickens make 15 creatures
(28 pig legs and 16 chicken legs makes 44 legs)
And yes, you can do it lots of different ways, including trial and error….
If c is the number of chickens, and p the pigs, we know that
c + p =15
With 4 legs per pig, 2 per chicken, we also know that
4p + 2c = 44
2c= 44-4p
c=22-2p
Substitute 22-2p for c in our first equation:
22 -2p +p =15
22 – p =15
So p=7, which means c=8
7 pigs, 8 chickens
28 +16 is 44 legs
I believe you!
I doubt i could remember my algebra.
Yes.
I never believed it in high school, but here, decades later, you proved that algebra could indeed be useful later in life.

You’ve spoiled it.

I didn’t think either was mimicking the other…
But more like sharing a funny story with an old friend.
Not really a joke, but laugh out loud memory…
“Remember that time we…. “
NOSE!
Happy, happy, happy!

O. M. G. That is awesome. It is hard to pack that much bad taste into one logo, but they managed to do it.
Parody by Steve Goad.
He did a series of them.
Can’t find the year but as art goes, it was fairly recent.
I should know better by now, that these are frequently parody, but I guess you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
I didn’t realize your comment meant you didn’t know it was a parody.
The artist still packed a lot of poor taste into that logo, whether it was real or fake.
Rene Dogritte
“The Son of Man and the Bone of Basset”
Perhaps Dogritte’s best known painting.
Oil and Alpo on canvas
Value: Est. 5 million Milkbones
Location: Private collection
it’s one of Stel’s favorites
I don’t remember seeing this before… I love it.
Hard pass: Frozen solid.
depending on where one lives, it still seems odd that if one is going to the trouble to commemorate jumping into a puddle, wouldn’t it be logical to celebrate it when it ISN’T potentially frozen?
Better yet mid summer, when a splash might feel good.
Maybe the person choosing the dates lives in Phoenix.
Or even here.
Some of our local puddles may have been frozen around dawn, this morning, but certainly not by puddle-splashing time, which might be 3pm.
Or in the other hemisphere where it IS the middle of summer.
But rain is sparse there in some years.
Speaking of blue-footed boobies …
