Hey Zeus

Amazing Grace, it took a day, I once was blind, but today I see.
The story of a man and a stand-up kayak and a dog named Zeus... and the way you say "Hey, Zeus" and it sounds like a Spanish "Jesus" and the light breaks through the clouds and we are all blessed.
I tried to insert the video but I could not, even though I'm a follower, I was blocked once again.
 
As a substitute let me cut and paste one of our very own Chip Ahoy video.

It will cause me to be on the look out for stray ands.

We need to get LLL on the blogs written by law profs list for ratings comparisons.

I am happy to report that new Twinkies taste just as good as the ones that were produced by Hostess before Hostess closed.

I thought you'd want to know.

rhhardin said...

For what it's worth, I found the Althouse comments unobjectionable.

Just skip over the ones you don't like.

Guys can do it, if tender flowers can't.

Althouse has a little fun with my poor writing.

I don't know about that but she's definitely making fun of people's religious beliefs.

C'mon. There's no way that non-union bakers can make Twinkies as good as union bakers.

That's what I used to do.

rhhardin said...

The twinkie sizes are reported to be smaller.

I was thinking they were the longish yellow frosting thingies with creme insides, which were worthy junk food.

They turn out to be a ring-ding type thing or something, if I follow the thing correctly.

I'm going to work. I'll follow on the phone when I can get away with it.

rhhardin said...

I skipped over a lot of comments.

You go to the icons you like.

KCFleming said...

That is one of the most disturbing videos I have ever seen.

Egyptian cat bemused by bubbles.
The stuff of nightmares.
(Cue Psycho staccato strings)

I left an Open Thread. If you guys don't want to talk the professor.

Exactly. that's why I encouraged people to get an avatar and stick with it.

Huh? "Stand Up Kayak?" Don't they notice the leg grooves in front of the seat? Why are they using a single paddle end board oar instead of a duel ended kayak oar? I like kayaks, on big water like the Great Lakes or rivers with some turbulence. Let's see them try that "stand up" silliness on Lake Michigan with a 20 mph wind blowing.

I did like the dog, though. I always like dogs. They put up with human idiocy and manage to keep their own dignity.

They are authentic Twinkie in taste and appearance. This size is a bit smaller, maybe 7/8ths scale of the original.

Available at Wal-Mart stores.

Funny, the dog doesn't look a bit like Samuel L Jackson.

Nice to see she's getting out more.

Maybe His Awesomeness will declare a day of national celebration.

A while back I thought I'd revisit my favorite grade school brown bag dessert.

Funnybones.

It turns out it's true what they say.

You can't go home, again.

LeAnne said...

I sympathize Mitchell. I, too, tried to revisit Funnybones and found the experience unpleasant. Peanut butter on cardboard would taste just as good. On the other hand, Butterscotch Krumpets are the same if not better. So there is that.

No, Butterscotch Krumpets were better when they were made in Philadelphia.

Especially about 50 years ago.

Freeman Hunt said...

I would sometimes skip over 80% of the comments.

Now when I go over there to skim comments it's much faster; I'll give the new comments policy that.

lightcat said...

I grew up in Philly- I haven't lived there since I was 15 (20 years ago) but I still miss Tastykakes. We were able to get Tastykakes last month while on vacation in Gatlinburg. Had Krumpets and coffee every afternoon for a week. It was a good week.

edutcher said...

Tastykake was bought out by Pepperidge Farm some time ago. If there's a Pepperidge Farm outlet store anywhere near you, you can go berserk.

They've cut down the selection (remember jelly krimpets?) and the pies (some of the best stuff Tastykake made) are almost an endangered species.

"Just skip over the ones you don't like."

I actually found that difficult at times, not every troll had an icon.

Plus the trolls seemed to drive away the good commentators - many times our "Star commentators" would be saying something funny or interesting, the trolls would descend and it was good night
nurse.

Althouse really needs an 'ignore' button.

edutcher said...

Second that.

Freeman Hunt said...

I like this machine.

Chip, you should make another video where you aren't making that loud buzzing sound with your mouth the whole time.

Something that hasn't changed? Little Debbie. Well,okay; I'm slightly grayer. But Nutty Buddy Bars are still the same awesomely miraculous transcendent food they ever were.
