Very likely the game-winning shot. In a game of 8-ball, the object is to first sink all of “your” balls, which are either the stripes or the solids. Then, and only then, do you try to sink the 8 ball. If you sink the 8-ball prior to sinking the other 7, then you lose.
It would be the winning shot as it looks intentional and you wouldn’t normally hit the 8 ball for any other reason. Most likely it’s just a trick shot by someone who’s showing off his skills.
Like joint pain can’t be caused by something worse than “weak joints”, so just walk off that arthritis or bone disease.
You only get up in the night cos you have a “light sleep pattern”… Just give up coffee. Never mind apnea, insomnia, bladder problems, or kidney disease.

But I’m so happy that my weak eyesight can be cured by staying off my tablet… it’s been swell, everybody! I’d like to stay, but I have to go cure my eyesight.
My favorite might be the last one… great advice when you’re getting old, and your family and friends are dropping away!
I quit seeing a doctor, almost 20 years ago, who said some of this stuff… totally unrealistic, totally uninterested in finding causes for things that were all in my head. He didn’t use those words, but the implications were clear.
But the next doctor actually ran tests, and found problems he helped with, instead of brushing them off.

Baby musk oxen are some if the cutest babies ever!
I remember Nighthawks said I couldn’t have one.
I suppose it’s okay, cos I’ve heard that when they grow up, they can weigh up to half a ton, even the females…. and the males really really … well, there’s no nice way to put it… they really really really stink.
That’s why they’re called musk oxen… and apparently lady musk oxen like it. Lady humans…. not so much.
….
Oh… and the stench explains the “musk” part, but not the “ox” part.
Cos they’re not really oxen, which are in the same family as cattle… and bison, water buffalo, and yaks.
They’re in the same family as sheep and goats. Go figure.
Yes… that’s the one I found, after wasting time looking for the little squeaky long-tailed kind.
One thing that confused me was that
I couldn’t…
….figure out what it seemed to be sitting on.
First I thought maybe it was an open dvd or cd drive. Then I found others in the image, and realized it’s an office chair, out of scale, upside down, and unrelated to the mouse.
Or, as my father used to call them “Scoffers,” on account of them invading in a hoard whenever food was put out for the birds and bullying the sparrows, thrushes, blackbirds away from the food and clearing it all up.

That’s bad, right?
Very likely the game-winning shot. In a game of 8-ball, the object is to first sink all of “your” balls, which are either the stripes or the solids. Then, and only then, do you try to sink the 8 ball. If you sink the 8-ball prior to sinking the other 7, then you lose.
So this could be the winning shot… or the losing one, if the player hasn’t yet sunk all the correct balls?
I used to play a bit, when I was a kid, cos my uncle had a table, and again when I was first married, cos my in-laws did too, for a while.
I can remember useless stuff I learned in school when dinosaurs roamed the playground…
But not something useful, like how to play pool.
Oh well… I guess it’s too late, anyway, for me to start to have a misspent youth.
It would be the winning shot as it looks intentional and you wouldn’t normally hit the 8 ball for any other reason. Most likely it’s just a trick shot by someone who’s showing off his skills.

Cool!

Avoid long naps?!
Riiight!
I do. It’s just that they pursue me so vigorously.
Easy solutions??
If only most of this were so simple.

Okay, but I’m not going to step into the swarm to check it out!
I’m right behind you.
Way behind you.
In fact, on another continent, if you’re anywhere near that swarm.
Africa has Driver ants.
Okay…. Africa is out too.
It wasn’t really on my list, cos of, you know, lions and stuff.
I think the swarm is in the Amazon…. so I’ll just stay in North America.
I knew there was some reason I picked it to be born in.

see the mouse?
I think they need to be more specific than simply “mouse.”
Little squeaky thing? Big ears? Nope. Can’t find no steenkin’ mouse!
Clue: It’s a computer mouse.
Yes… that’s the one I found, after wasting time looking for the little squeaky long-tailed kind.

Something tells me that’s not the Rolling Stones.
I always thought they were foolishly brave to try to cover the Stones, at the height of the latter’s popularity… but then I liked it.
