This is a split second (I’m not kidding) of a part of the chase scene from the 1933 German film, in translation, “The Testament Of Dr. Mabuse” directed by Fritz Lang . The film is a noir detective thriller, and it was said of it that it had elements in it that deliberately mocked Hitler.

Thanks, Nighthawks. Looks like my goldens. Too bad they don’t last as long as us. Now I have to borrow my kid’s golden’s once in awhile (and give them back!).
Thanks, Happy^3. I’ll just go back and enjoy some of your others.
BTW, my sister says that I can now consider myself a classic collectible (I think that means you also have to put me in an enclosed glass case like mummies so you don’t have to smell the decay).
Here’s an image that you might want to play around with in the future.
Thanks, Alexi. Irish Apple Cake sounds scrumptious. I might try it with Almond flour and a sugar substitute like Swerve (low carbs). Makes me think of something from The Oak Table in Sequim.
We’ve been to the Oak Table in Sequim ~ great place. We stayed in Sequim for awhile as we were thinking of moving there. Needed to be closer to our daughter, though.
Hmmmm…..
As Claude says, we have things that are whacked and out of whack.
I want to know why we never hear of things that are funct.

Re I will follow Him, I wonder what motivates a composer or conductor to bring out the best of a silly song. I always enjoy it when it is done, and the song suddenly seems worthy of closer examination. Of course most opera choruses are pretty silly as well.
“Whack” is one of those multi-purpose words. It can mean a wide variety of things. Claude names one. Cleo names another. There’s also “whack-job, whacko, whack (on), hee-whack.” Others?
On another note, my son said my grandson came running into the room, scared by a clap of thunder that was pretty much directly overhead. I told him to tell the kid those were “cloud farts”. That ought to set a 5-year-old giggling and solve the fear problem from now on.
Thank you Tigressy. This is absolutely my exact image. Truly a work of art worthy of the finest sculptor. I’m tempted to change my avatar, but then everyone else would be jealous.
tail wags for Arfside’s birthday!!
Synchronized tail-wagging! I believe it’s a demonstration sport in the 2024 Olympics.
..
Too Fast! Slow down, dude! Yer gonna get us all killed!
Yep, it’s trying to catch up with me! But I have a deer or two hiding in the bushes, ready to sacrifice themselves for me! Take that!
My pappy said son you’re gonna drive me to drinkin’ if you don’t quit drivin’ that Hot Rod Lincoln!

FIRST VISITOR TO SAY:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARFSIDE99
Sorry for yelling, I just get so excited!
That’s a cake with the now famous Arfside avatar. I don’t know why it’s so small. Everyone will have to leave it all for Arfie, not enough to share.
OK, now it’s not small. I don’t know what I’m doing ☺
I’m mostly still hunt and peck myself.
It looks like we can all poke a finger in and lick the frosting, if nothing else (for those on diets). Watch out for the lit candles.
But you’re doing it, and that’s what matters.
Don’t worry… I always make a huge cake… it’s my job.
Arfy Birthday to You, Arfy Birthday to you…

I’ll bet he’s ready to party for days! Jack Russels are like that!
*Happy Birthday, Arfside!!!*
Thanks, JP. I’m celebrating having lasted this long.

Thanks, Nighthawks. Looks like my goldens. Too bad they don’t last as long as us. Now I have to borrow my kid’s golden’s once in awhile (and give them back!).
it’s is a tragedy they don’t last as long as us
That must be Mabel.

…couple too many candles on the cake?
I think he’s threatening me with Brazilians.
I see the questionable little blue box.
Nevermind. I see it now. 🙂
Thanks, Stelbel, Any time waking up with a Basset bringing coffee has to be absolutely special!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARFSIDE99!!
How about a bite to eat?
….
Don’t worry… there’s more…
Oh, gosh, I couldn’t…well maybe just a bite or two…of everything!!! Nom! Nom!! Nom!!!
oh, yum!
I guess I’ll go ahead and post the birthday cake now, so you can all see it…
But there’s no place to cut a slice from the back..
So… just so you can all have some ,if you get here before Arfside… I’ve also made half a dozen copies without the dog and the candles.
They’re all the same except for that.
Could we cut those, please… and save the more decorated one for him to cut when he gets here? Thanks!
Happy Birthday again, ARFSIDE 99!
And here’s the first one to start cutting… if I’m not here Fenton can serve the others as needed…
It’s OK, I’ll just cut the center layer out and leave the rest for the rest of you…well, and I might steal some of the filling….
Don’t forget the doggy… he’s made of very chocolate-y chocolate fondant… not the mostly sugar kind.
You can take him, share him, or say no thanks… your call.
What to do, what to do…. He looks too lovable to eat.
Chocolate-y chocolate you say; I’ll eat him !
Dang it! I’ve got to get around to making of finding some more birthday cards.
My two have been overused.
Hoppy, hoppy, happy Birthday, ArfSide!
Thanks, Happy^3. I’ll just go back and enjoy some of your others.

It’s apple month, and while this isn’t a traditional type birthday cake there’s no reason you couldn’t put candles on it.

i enjoyed the conductor’s ‘strip show’,
“Whack” is one of those multi-purpose words. It can mean a wide variety of things. Claude names one. Cleo names another. There’s also “whack-job, whacko, whack (on), hee-whack.” Others?
“Whack-a-doodle?”
Well as usual, Arfside, I have nothing to celebrate your b’day. Hope it’s a happy one and that all your kids call you twice.
Happy Birthday, Arfside!
I always blamed the dog.
On another note, my son said my grandson came running into the room, scared by a clap of thunder that was pretty much directly overhead. I told him to tell the kid those were “cloud farts”. That ought to set a 5-year-old giggling and solve the fear problem from now on.
You might have outgrown your original birthday suit.
Here’s one closer to your current size – probably:
