So Coy

[via email from 1389AD, so blame her. :P]

Westerners have Dog Shows and Cat Shows that are certainly abhorrent to some cultures. This is purported to be a Goat Beauty Pageant in Jordan. The link [http://en.ammonnews.net/article.aspx?articleNO=13024] at that site doesn’t work, and a tinyeye search produced nothing.

But that’s definitely a “he-goat,” and I’m not going to speculate further – after all, he’s just another pretty face (and I only posted it because I opened my big mouth in the previous thread).

Y’all are on your own with this one on The Overnight Open Thread.

Oil prices are up. Propane prices are up. Methane prices are going up, too, so save it for a rainy day. Don’t keep ‘em bottled up inside, collect ‘em all and cash ‘em in!

Register a brand name like I did (Paint Peeler X™) and wait for the FartMart to open a retail outlet near you. Then you can barter your best Blogmock Barn Burners and get paid for your flatulence daily, weekly, or monthly as required.

Just another Money Saving Tip courtesy of The Overnight Open Thread.

For All The Yinzers

Watch this video on YouTube.

For those of you that think the late 1960’s was all hippies and beads and tie-dye and bell bottoms and pot, check this out:
IT’S 1968 AND PITTSBURGH ROCKS!

The Dickies covered “Nobody Like Me” in 1983, George Thorogood covered it in 1982, and it was covered by the Human Beinz in 1967. It was originally recorded in 1962 by the Isley Brothers. from Blue Ash, Ohio, as if you didn’t know.

But there’s some unfortunate misinformation in that vid: “Teen Time” was really filmed in Steubenville, Ohio, not P-burgh. Just like at Diary of Daedalus, we fact check everything, no matter how trivial, on The Overnight Open Thread.
