Given all that we have seen on these pages, I flag potential shenanigans here. Taking the time, and trouble, to sculpt the base, the side, and possibly the upper face of a very small floating iceberg in a harbor, then get out of the way to take a photo of it, safely, seems highly unlikely.
The word origin story comes from when Cook’s men asked a local what the animal was called, the local replied in his own language, “What did you say?”
However, with the uplifting of the voice when asking a question being universal, I would suspect the crew, with their experience, would have picked up that he was asking a question, and not delivering an answer to their question.
An off-the-wall comedy duo…. a lot of their material had to do with smoking weed, plus cops, sex, vulgarity, and other everyday concerns of the youth culture 😁
They performed live and released a string of records featuring their routines, some of which were so famous, people still quote them….
Hence JPSteve’s post “Dave’s not here.”
Plus they made several movies, which I tried not to like… but they were just too funny.
Totally off the subjects: I’m listening to Bob Stane of the “The Coffee Gallery Backstage”, The Ice House”, The Upper Cellar”, telling his story of bringing up incredibly talented acts over the years. I was lucky to live in this area. I hope you were able to live in areas that worked as well for you. Some of the acts included helping to launch the careers of The Dillards, The Association, The Smothers Brothers, Pat Paulsen, Lily Tomlin, Steve Martin, Jay Leno, Gallagher, and David Letterman.
Here we have it! The real picture of the graft and corruption in some of the pueblas of the time.
No justice for los Indigenas… the goal was to take the land and everything it produced, use the local population for cheap or free labor, and get rich.
(A lot of that still going on, I fear, but not so blatantly.)
…
As for these two would-be overlords…
While to each other, they would probably boast of their machismo, and their skill with las senoritas ….
they’re actually so fixated on money and other ill-gotten gains, they don’t even seem to notice the loveliness of the captive Senorita Voluptuosa.
….
Yes, I know… she’s all wrapped up in her righteous indignation, and her protest…
and more significantly, when it comes to noticing her charms, in her skirts and her serape, which hide her considerable assets.
But we know she has them… I mean, this is a comic strip, and her name is Senorita Voluptuosa, right?
Something like that in a comic strip is never a coincidence… it’s a dead giveaway.
…
Yeah, yeah… she’s a basset hound, and they’re… well, I hate to call them human, when they’re so inhumane… let’s say they’re non-canine.
I don’t think that’s generally an impediment in a comic strip, though.
Their impediment is greed, pure and simple.
…
Meanwhile, I’m sure our future hero Perro™ continues to think about riding…
and that soon… very soon, mis amigos… we’ll see him do it!
Long day on the job there, Corky? Just want to take a load off?
Wow! 90% of the iceberg is below the surface!

I’ll be damned.
😲
Yes…. I was just searching for it when tigressy posted the link….
It won the prize for travel photography in the 2020 Smithsonian photo contest.
Apparently a natural formation, in Disko Bay, Greenland… so wind and water must have sculpted the base.
I do wonder how deep it goes!

Are we to find the nine, ten, or “x” differences?
Spot the differences???
I found one!
The name at the top.
Oops forgot a spoiler box 🙄
And awayyyy we go!
My moneys on the ant….
You would know.
I also go home from casinos in a barrel…

It makes a great story. Whether it’s true, or just a made-up origin story to be told for its “WOW” factor.
About as true as the origin of the word kangaroo.
The origin of the word “kangaroo” below comes from HERE
“The word ‘kangaroo’ comes from the Guugu Yimidhirr people sharing the word ‘gangurru’ with James Cook and the crew of the Endeavour in 1770. ”
I’d like to hear the origin story you find dubious.
The word origin story comes from when Cook’s men asked a local what the animal was called, the local replied in his own language, “What did you say?”
However, with the uplifting of the voice when asking a question being universal, I would suspect the crew, with their experience, would have picked up that he was asking a question, and not delivering an answer to their question.
C(r)owchet?
What is that creature in the middle?
Very young calf.
They start out furrier than you’d think.
Could even have some highland or other shaggy breed in the mix… but definitely bovine.
I see them like this at the county fair.
It’s four pictures up.
Beat me to it!
Okay, got it.
Shoot… I fell asleep last night thinking I’d posted the solution…
Maybe my Internet glitched or maybe I never really pressed “post comment.”
But anyway….
Dave’s not here, man…
I don’t know their oeuvre well enough to identify whether this is from Up in Smoke, or which of their other films it could be.
That’s the one.
In case anybody actually doesn’t know….
Better known as “Cheech and Chong.”
I’ve never actually heard of them at all. Must be a US thing that didn’t make it to the UK.
Or if it did, it passed me by with no notice.

The only reason I know about the “Dave’s not here” line is from Futurama.
With the combination of the BBC and Mary Whitehouse, I’m not surprised they didn’t make the transference to popularity over here.
Oh, I remember them well.
Me too.
at first I thought that was a mouse
So did I.
Stop! Thief!
Bit surprised to see the indirect stealth move rather than the smash and grab, over the top ambush.
Aha! Continuing the “Cat-Pizza Caper”. Will Cleo clean the clock of that cunning moggy, or will the pizza suffer a stealthy cat-astrophe?
These pets on food pictures are gross.
THE LONDON ‘DAILY MAIL’ ON THIS.
Looks like a job for Dill’s brothers…
Maybe it needs some shopping done.
Obviously, the light started out small, and grew up through the shopping cart.
I didn’t know there were shopping carts on Narnia when it was still young.
Maybe when shopping carts are let loose at night, they fly to bright lights like moths.
So did he get down after that inspired bit of yoga?
I hope so!
I certainly don’t want to think otherwise!
I hope he didn’t get accidentally shut out of that window.
Interesting.
I think chainsaw sculptors would be envious of this.
So that’s how they make Slinkies…

You never said “Simon says” either.

thanks, Susan. you get the job as my publicist at double your current salary
Wow!
“Like Dick Nixon then?” – “Who?” – “Never mind…”
If you mean saying “Read my lips”, that was George Bush Sr.
It you don’t… sorry.
