Actually, she probably does… though she also works hard.
I thought I recognized the dog (and I did!), but not the women, so I searched it.

“Cleo, the ‘talking’ basset hound on Jackie’Cooper’s NBC-TV program, ‘The People’s Choice,’ is primped for her ‘pawtograph party’ at the Los Angeles Kennel Club show Saturday, November 27 by Actresses Elaine Edwards, Lori Mitchell and Elaine Riley.”
This was 1955, BTW, and Cleo was played for the run of the show by a basset named Bernadette.
Much like the Cleo we know, that Cleo was sarcastic and funny. She was voiced by a human actress.
If you mean for it to sound horrible… I love kippered herring and the Queen probably did too.
You wouldn’t mix that stuff together, but separately, it’s not like it’s torture.
I’ve always wanted to try haggis, but they can’t import the real stuff here, I think because it has lung in it.
People make fun of it just because it has that sort of parts in it, but it’s made with steamed oats, and it sounds like it might taste good to me. I love liver, and I’m willing to try the rest.
As for the Queen, she loved staying at Balmoral, in Scotland. They had vacations there, and I think even Christmases, so haggis might have been part of their celebrations.
The photographer, Mark Stewart, described this image…”The Queen is taken by surprise as she takes tea with Eton schoolboys at Guards Polo Club, 2003.”
But I know Elizabeth II had a sense of humor, and liked to tease, and she was always, due to many years of training, in control of her physical reactions, and extremely polite.
It would be hard for me to believe she didn’t make this face on purpose, to be funny.
2018 and they were still kickin’ it. That may have been their last gig, though.
They and the song were pretty stunning back in the day, and still hold up here…. even if the group AFAIK had a few personnel changes doing the way, and the voices are older.
Many moons ago, I was looking for ideas to organize my various music collections. I found I could go to the _Hit Parader_ website and copy/paste the yearly Top One Hundred to a text file. Before 1955, I did not recognize most of the songs. After 1975, the music started becoming mono-generic with the advent of Disco. For those twenty years, Popular music was show tunes, lounge tunes, Rock_N_Roll, TV themes, old classics. Folk music (and glamorized folk) started sneaking in late fifties/early sixties. Country music crossovers started sneaking in about late sixties.
For those twenty years, about every third song, I could still sing along with (mostly). I submit this as evidence that my generation enjoyed the best music ever.
The Cnoc Fada Standing Stones, near the village of Dervaig on the Isle of Mull in Argyll, Scotland. Dating to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age, there was originally an alignment of five standing stones.

Hot on the trail !

Why is everybody laughing at me? Poor Pup!
Awww. Poor, unhappy pooch.
I’d say he’s really in his cups tonight.
Or she, of course.
There’s no gender proclivity I’m aware of for enjoying a nice dry martini. And this one looks really dry.
BTW, I’m sure this is just for a photo. Maybe a way to have a moment’s fun, when the poor doggie has to be in the collar anyway.
I’ll get them for this! The cone was bad enough….
Even from a golden, that’s clearly a glare
that’s Jim Lovell’s family , just like in the movie
..
Poochie doesn’t understand why she doesn’t always get treated this way.
Actually, she probably does… though she also works hard.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but this kid looks unhappy.
that got me to look carefully …. he seems a bit threadbare. The shoes are shabby, but for all I know that’s future royalty.
…
Pretty Birdy!
Is that the same bird in both photos?
From what I could gather… no, if you mean did that exact baby bird grow up to be the adult one below.
But yes, if you mean are they the same kind of bird.
Both are Goffin’s Cockatoos, the top one when it’s just lost its baby down, and only partially fledged.

“Would Your Majesty care for a big Mac?”
With kippered herrings and haggis?

Nah; too small. Throw him back.

That looks in awfully good shape for being buried in sand and seawater for 18 years!
,
I wonder how many babies they auditioned, to find one that could tolerate her(?) feet being licked.
I know I’m way too ticklish… I’d be on the ceiling in a nanosecond.
And I hate being tickled… I have no idea why people think it’s funny.
My hair stands up just looking at the picture.
This kid doesn’t even seen to notice… do you think it’s really two separate photos?
One photo, but wonder how many Bassets they had to audition that wouldn’t treat the kid as a bag of kibble…
And how many kids!

She had a rather strained relationship with the photographer.
They’ didn’t like talking about it… but the photos did shed a little light on it.
You’d better see a dermatologist about those blotches.
Seen zoomed up, she has a tremendous number of freckles! More than I’ve ever seen on anyone before.

“The Hills of Holland”
Another great sky (along with the rest) from illustrator Franklin Booth… We haven’t had one of his for a while!
Drawn for Harper’s magazine, 1917
The guy is a master
One of my all-time favorites

Whatever you do, don’t find 47!
It’s right there between two 68s
Got it!
Got it.
To me it sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb.
But I’ll give you yet another clue…
Someone 86’d it.

AI at it’s best!
Just wait till they put it on the market.
This video predates AI by quite some time. It’s an old video.
I was thinking in the broader sense as “robot intelligence…”
Why am I laughing?
Knowing it’s a doll, it’s funny.
If it were a real baby, maybe not so much.
It’s ok. If the were using a real baby, At the last second they’d use a stunt double
That’s what made me post it. I laughed out loud.
we had the best music.
2018 and they were still kickin’ it. That may have been their last gig, though.

My garage band got ahold of the “Life is Just a Chair ‘O Bowlies” album and learned to play the “Intermission” tune

Well, you came to the right place
Electrified or not… That little wire fence would be nothing but a silk handkerchief to a Jurbasset who could gobble up a bag of kibble that big.
Then again, every movie needs a plot device or six.

Pied Kingfisher.
“Pied,” eh? Everyone’s a comedian.
