Cassowary. I haven’t been to Australia, but according to my daughter, they are mean birds.

Impromptu” by Samuel Wilberforce
 
If I were a cassowary
   On the plains of Timbuctoo,
I would eat a missionary,
   Cassock, bands and hymn-book too.

One hell of a strange, but somehow very good, movie.
I had a chance to buy the movie with a snow globe as an extra. I wish i had got it.

I hope that kid is wearing sunblock! Being married to a fair-skinned lady who is prone to very red and painful suntans, I have learned to be a bit more aware of the problem. Now, after semi-yearly visits to the dermatologist to eliminate skin cancer before it sets in, we lovingly call her “Spot”.

With that shade of red hair i’ll bet he don’t have much melanin at all.

Judging from the cars and the tube socks, it’s probably the 70s. So, more likely to be wearing baby oil than sun screen.

Here is something that you have to see to believe that someone went to the trouble of making it (watch the “ratings” box on the bottom).

I may have said this before.
My brother said that pugs are like potato chips. You can’t have just one.

I’ve always said the same thing, though without the potato chip analogy.

Why is that?

I’ve known several people with two; a neighbor had three, and a friend’s roommate had four….
Originally two, and one kept from each of their two litters. Mama was the smallest.

But I can’t remember anybody with only one pug.

Friends “inherited” one from their son (moved to a no-pet apartment) then got another for company. Haven’t been without at least one pug ever since.

That’s what they did here at Tierpark Hellabrunn (Munich’s famous zoo) when the flamingos lost their color.

Here’s a thought/question: Can you teach a flamingo to dance the flamenco?

Maybe after a flagon of a flavorful fermented fruit drink.

Unless you find that your flamingo is fairly flat footed …. Then he won’t have a flair for flamenco, or even fit into fine footwear.
But it’s also fun having a flamingo who’s not flashy or flamboyant.

So a flamboyant Flemish flamingo can dance the fandango?

Fabulously…. And with finesse.

IF you find one from a physically* fit flamingo family, with a natural flair, and fairly fast on his feet, he may find a fantastic future in it.

In fact, a few are famous, at least among Fandango fans!

*sorry… sorta…

The Corgi looks a LOT happier than the fairy! Having been raised on Mother
Goose, Anne Geddes, and such, I’ve always envisioned fairys as being much lighter in concerns and happier in countenance.

Peter Green was part of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers…

After he left, he recruited Mick Fleetwood from the Bluesbreakers to join him, and created Fleetwood Mac.

Eventually he left and others joined Fleetwood Mac, till it became the band we know… without him, but still playing some of his music.

That said… This clip does pretty much nothing for me.
