From the interview at the link, I get the impression DAVID PAICH still doesn’t fully understand what he wrote.
It is a beautiful song, though, and I think a viable explanation for its beauty comes from the definition of “gestalt.”

Those red eyes and the red nose! What could she be mourning?
The woman above and this praying mantis somehow look a bit related.
Hmmm… well… face shape, pale pinkish coloring, red-rimmed eyes, elongated body…. with long, thin, barely curved, bent limbs.
Logical.
I will always be a fan of ‘where no man (or woman) has gone before.’

I’m an academic, I worked in Africa right where his camera seems to focus. But I have no idea what this Toto song is about.

Macklemore from the roof of Dick’s Drive in. Reminds me of the Beatles Gey Back.

Well, that was a strange ride.
The jury is still out. LOL…
…
But… I looked up Macklemore and discovered this…
done with his 99 year old grandmother, to celebrate her 100th birthday!
(Yes, that’s really her in the video.)
…
I love that!
Me too!
Beautiful video, Susan. Obvious that they have a real and close relationship.
Basset Trek!
(Sniffing the universe … its 2-year mission:
To “go” where no dog has “gone” before.)
…
Great characterizations, Nighthawks.
If I had to choose which of them looked more like the human, Captain James Kirk…
I’d pick the basset Captain Slurp over that human on the comic book cover.
One question:
How do the space kitties know when the can opener is opening tuna?
My cat used to come running for cans of coffee, or tomato paste… just in case. And if she could sniff out that it was corn, she’d beg for some.
…
BTW, years ago, a friend got a kitten that was a cling-on like that.
When he got big… and I do mean BIG… he still liked to sit in laps…
But after a while he’d slide over to one side, and start burrowing between your elbow and hips, until he was finally lying halfway behind your back…
a large, warm, purring lump in your chair, that got very disgruntled if you dared to get up, and might poke you with a sharp claw.
…
No jokes, please, about Cling-ons and Uranus… we have heard them all before. Thank you.
space kitties have very selective hearing
Can I joke about สแดแดแด-แด-แดกสแดแดแด?
Of course.
And beep-a-whoosh, as well.
But not whooshing cling-ons off… that planet.
Today’s Lio.
oops!–just changed it.
thanks for the heads up, Alex
I don’t know if the address bar is as easily changed, but the attachment shows what I’m seeing in it.
Once a WordPress URL is set, AFAIK, the page is loaded in that spot, and you can’t change it.

HEY!!
Funny!!
Question: What sound did the chair make as it flew through the air?
Answer:
The four mystic symbols in this cartoon are:
the Flying Saucer of Possibility
the Crown of Power
the Eyeball of Observation
the Pie of Opportunity
Good one!
The exact same sound that your obscure references make as they go sailing over my head, y.o.s!
Doctor Becky is still enthusiastic.
Is that her first “blooper-reel?”
Nope. She drops them in on the end all the time. ๐
I picked up two bags yesterday!
Sweet!
