Too sleepy to spend much time, so I wasn’t gonna bother posting my list…

But since you guys started….
1, 2, and 3… same as Arfside…
4 ?

5 Growing old

6 till the end of time

7 An inside job.

8 World without end

9 Two peas in a pod (ergo, looking alike)

10 ? Not quite “last initial” but I can’t agree with “initial here”

11 single file (I don’t remember whether that was right but it works for me)

12 (same as Tigressy) gross injustice

13 once in a while

14 and 15 (again same as Tigressy) endless love… or possibly never-ending love

and 15 Tea for two

16 I think the same, but last time we had that one, Alexi found the answers, and it was supposedly “Bring on the dancers.”

Neither makes sense anyway.

Were I the puzzle maker, I’d have done

“THE CLOsendWNS”

instead… at least that’s a phrase somebody’s heard of.

Great … I’m sure you got #4…

But I’d say

#15 is definitely tea for two

Close for #4, but maybe:
By combining that thought with “Initial” you get the “The First Noel”

At first, this basset was not much of a goalie, but then he seemed to get the hang of it.

I thought Dean did pretty well. He simply was not about to jump into the air while standing on ice in a questionable attempt to catch a flying projectile. Not after the last time. A dog’s got to know his limitations.

A dog’s idea of a goal involves meat.

You wanna throw pucks past him… fine.

Watch any group of small children play any team game with rules. It is one of the most entertaining ways of spending time with the kids in the family.
I very recently got to watch my niece’s eldest son, who is 5, play something that resembles baseball. His father was his team’s head coach. I was so impressed with how four fathers managed to keep all these little boys busy and running around, while trying to teach a few rudimentary aspects of baseball. No one is ever going to make a play at first. So every kid ends up with a hit. No one is going to make any sort of fielding play that involves a throw, so pretty much everyone gets to score. Each player gets a turn at bat when their team is up. After the last batter hits the ball, they all just run around the bases until they reach home. The only way an out might ever be recorded is if a kid hits a pop-up that finds another kid’s glove.
I have to give the dads all the credit in the world for the time and effort they put in. The kids get worn out, they have a good time, and they learn a little bit. They are hilarious to watch. Every kid goes after every ball. Just like they do in soccer at that age. Or basketball. Or football. So fun it should probably be illegal.

The U.S.M.C. Band (The President’s Own) is as fine a concert band as exists in the world. And there’s nothing like a Sousa march. Don’t know if you had that in mind when choosing that particular Dean the Basset vid, but it made for a nice touch.

I’ll go on record as urging Cleo & Claude to turn around and go home the way they came.

Dunno what the weather’s been like, at the Cleo and Company Animation Studio…

but had you been here, the minimalist style of this Friday animation would have made perfect sense…

104℉ ! That’s 40° for those of you who think in C.

No wonder barely anything moves… I can’t say I’m doing much of it, either, melted as I am into my chair.

The evil clown barely moves his fingers, Cleo’s tail has run out of wags… even the menacing red eyes can’t be bothered to blink.

That pothole looks cool and dark… but considering the flashing sign…. no thanks. It might be the opening to someplace hot.

….

Hot, warm or as chilly as you’d think, considering Claude’s long sleeves… this is no neighborhood for you, Claude or Cleo.

I’ll second what Liverlips suggests…

Go home!

I used to hate leaving California because of the weather…..now, not so much. I’ll take the Idaho winters. We are having a heat wave here….it’s going up to 84!!! Love it! I do feel for you.

You know, I hadn’t even realized, by the time I posted the above, that this was a rerun.

Usually I recognize them… but not always…

And besides, even though it had cooled down, I was still feeling very done in by the weather….

Then today I thought “Oh... maybe I’ve seen that.”

….

Which shows you two things… One, even some of your biggest fans (such as moi) don’t remember every strip, and like to see reruns….

And two… if they do recognise it… it means the stuff you’re apologising for was nonetheless good enough that people remember it.

Actually, I thought, new or old.. that you were purposely being minimal for comic effect…

Like an early Jay Ward cartoon.

Ricky and Bullwinkle were not famous because of smooth, seamless Disney style animation.

Their abbreviated movement was part of the humor.

….

In any case.. you have nothing to apologise for!

Ricky? I must have missed the really early stuff. I guess Boris and Natasha had so much success with him that Fearless Leader kept them on the job pursuing his younger brother Rocky.

Zounds that’s hot! No A/C available? No power? Heat like that takes it out of you. As long as you have running water, you can fill the tub and just sit in it. Or stand under a shower.
With regard to the pothole, my position on hellholes is well-known and unwavering: I am against them!

It’s funny… not “ha ha” sort of funny… but we’re all so complacent about our great weather around here that almost nobody I know has air conditioning.

….

We don’t “need” it, because we get “so few” really hot days, and anyway the breeze picks up an hour or two after the hottest time of day… which is 3 or 4 pm, not noon…

and the nights are “always” cool, often under 50°, even after a scorcher…. and the mornings usually cloudy or foggy.

So when we DO get a week like this, between 95 and 104 every day by 11am, and not cooling off till 10 or 11 pm… we’re in denial.

I sit in front of my little electric fan reminding myself that it’s temporary.

In most animations, especially gifs, which have far fewer frames than videos, changes tend to be made in the same frame..

so everything that moves in one frame keeps time with everything else that moved then, too.

From Thursday
 
Thanks for your answer to me.
Okay, I can get a 341 ml tin of evaporated milk at the Superstore which is so close to 12 fluid ounces U.S. that I’ll pretend I made cookies with the imaginary 2 and a bit ounces.
If it doesn’t set up properly, I’ll just melt it as much farther as needed, and use it on ice cream.
I’ll be using butter though, as I prefer it over margarine.
I’ll be paying attention to your warning about having to stay at the pan while it’s cooking too.
Fortunately, that much sugar, chocolate and fat will freeze well so I won’t have to eat it all at once.
I’ll be making it Saturday, so I’ll let you know on Sunday how it turned out. —comment image

The original singers, with the composer singing.
 
 

 
 
And just the year before “We Five” there was this British Invasion band…

You remind me of a lunchtime chat with our (American) botanist, who told us “I went to see my favorite singer last night, somebody none of you will ever have heard of — he’s called Ian Tyson…”

To which we all replied “Hey, we’re Canadian. We ALL know who Ian and Sylva are!”

Telus has just finished wiring (fibring?) my apartment for the service below. I do wish corporations would actually credit their customers with the ability to read.
Look at the GLARING contradiction in the “rah rah Telus !” blurb below.
If you haven’t had your morning pick-me-up or have just finished your bedtime wind-me-down I’ve broken the questionable parts of the blurb out and emphasised it by underline.
 
BEGIN BLURB
 
TELUS PureFibre has faster upload and download speeds than our traditional copper network.
 
Fibre
 
never degrades
 
and is
 
more resistant
 
to weather and other environmental factors, delivering unparalleled connection reliability. Unlike other providers’ networks, TELUS PureFibre delivers 100% fibre right to your home on a connection that is always consistent and never shared.
 
END BLURB
 
UMM,…. TELUS?
If fibre never degrades should not more resistant be “impervious?” What are you not telling your customers.
The copper lines in my building and in the ground outside it are 40 years old and working just fine, by the way.
