2 of 3. A petard is a blasting charge. Specifically, it was the charge placed in a tunnel under a castle’s wall (to create a breach). For most of my life I assumed it was a rope. I was surprised to learn that “hoist on one’s own petard” referred to being blown up, not hung on your own rope.

I’ll bet that someone got into something.
Always a safe bet.

Just a hunch that leaving the car was not a good idea.

I shall try to contain myself.
Be sure you know where your towel is.

Beautiful work… Yes it would be hard to destroy the animals… I was the kind of kid who cried when I ate my chocolate bunny.
But you have to figure that foam doesn’t last long anyway.
So take a picture and then enjoy.
I’d kinda like to know what’s in those colors on the other ones, pretty as they are.
Yeah, those colors, kind of scary, actually (but still pretty 🙂

Poor resolution which is hampering detection, but I believe…
She must eat a lot of lettuce and must have an allergy to it because it causes her to be subject to vertigo.
I stand corrected
That’s proof that they can do a true gallop.
Muybridge would have approved…
Where’s the fire?

That’s what I call “pulling yourself up by your own {bootstraps, petard, belt loops}”

In the modern sense, “hoist on one’s own petard” means to be caught by one’s own device or trap.
If it makes you feel better, “hanging on to the bitter end” is about hanging onto the end of a rope…
I would totally buy that the dog is mimicking her movements.
this was a single frame of the video (I couldn’t post it here) of doggie mimicking everything she did, including rolling out the mat to exercise on

“Drivin’ that train ..”
Um…. But not “High on cocaine”, right?
Cos that’s the song those words bring up for me!
That’s the song that I remembered.
That’s it !
Thanks (?) for the ear worm of the long forgotten Intro to that cartoon!
Because if you and I have it, everybody else must have it too….
I like Liverlips’ earworm better.
Read the comic above.
I Susan okay?

Me, too – but then I saw that Susan had replied to a post of mine on May the first only two hours before I got here.
Thanks… But I do occasionally miss one night… or even the whole day.
