Willy Or Won't He

I’m seriously thinking I should make these posts just MEMES & MORE MEMES and forget assigning a day of the week. I’ll aim for a Monday but given my recent track record I won’t commit to it.

This one is left over from Mother’s Day.

Exactly.

Left over from COVID?

Ah the golden years.

Living on the edge.

And even that was “negative”.

I turned to the other kids in the neighbourhood.

He healed the cut?

I don’t do political on here but this is just too good.

I know a few people like this.

Sort of like a Dad Joke.

If that’s the case I should have a chest of medals.

Well he found his “type”.

And I leave you with this:

The word for May 19th is:
Type /tīp/: [^1. noun ^2. verb]
^1.1 A person or thing having the features of a group or class.
^1.2 A number of people or things having in common traits or characteristics that distinguish them as a group or class.
^1.3 An example or a model having the ideal features of a group or class; an embodiment.
^1.4 A small block of metal or wood bearing a raised letter or character on the upper end that leaves a printed impression when inked and pressed on paper.
2.1 To assign a category, classify, or characterize.
2.2 To use a keyboard (manual or electronic) to write.
Middle English, symbol, from Late Latin typus, type, from Latin, image, from Greek tupos, impression.

As well as memes it’s time for our weekly weather report. We’ve been the victims of an unusual Nor’Easter this weekend: wild winds, pounding rain and dropping temperatures. But being the Maritimes its been accompanied by an occasional burst of sunshine and a 3o minutes mild spell. It does make for an ever changing wardrobe so the coat rack has a scarf, a leather coat, a rain coat and a light jacket via for pride of place. Like the times there is a great deal of uncertainty.

To wit:

Today’s mood.

How else are you going to know if you like it?

I know ministers who can’t pronounce them in spoken English.

Karma’s a bitch!

What is it about Florida?

Is this what Carney meant by an “new world order”?

True this.

Florida again!!!!

*The customer is always right.

Delusions of triviality.

Ah English!

I do listen …. just not to you.

And the obligatory meme for the 4^th of May.

*The original phrase, attributed to Harry Gordon Selfridge, was “the customer is always right in the matter of taste.” Unfortunately it has been shorten to suggest that rudeness and bad manners are acceptable when dealing with customer service.

The word for May 4th is:
To wit /tu wɪt/: [adverb]
^1.1 That is to say.
^1.2 As follows.
This expression comes from the Old English verb witan, meaning “to know or be aware of,” not heard except in this usage. [Late 1500s].

I think the first meme pretty much says it all. When Teeter and I went for a walk last Thursday we enjoyed green grass on the sunny side of the street and snowbanks on the shady side. Early morning walks it’s a parka and scarf; in the afternoon a comfy leather coat and foulard; in the late evening it the leather with the scarf. Obviously that Boy Scout motto was meant for a typical Maritime April.

Not a problem with a dachshund – they won’t step outside the door if it’s raining.

Thank you Henry Ford.

And our usual dad meme.

A useful (?) hack.

It will only really bother me when it’s no longer there.

And you thought the “croissant” was bad.

And the gods laugh.

For my bird watching friends.

For my dear Dr Spo.

I’ll just leave this here.

Time for new drinking buddies.

English – such a versatile language.

With age comes reason.

And I leave you with this thought.

The word of April 27th is:
Motto /mŏt′ō/: [noun]
^1.1 A brief statement used to express a principle, goal, or ideal.
^1.2 A sentence, phrase, or word, prefixed to an essay, discourse, chapter, canto, or the like, suggestive of its subject matter.
^1.3 A sentence, phrase, or word, forming part of an heraldic achievement.
Italian motto (a word, a saying), Latin muttum (a mutter, a grunt).

Dare we even hope that the choice to remove the snow clearing equipment from our building parking lot was a sign of Spring? Oh silly Willy! The icy cold rain showers we’re getting today sure as hell won’t encourage fields of violets.

I admit on my final algebra my marks were for getting my name and the date right.

Get ready for a load of bull.

The contractually required religious meme

A valid question.

A PSA.

Drum roll! Rim shot.

Sounds about right.

And now for current events.

All just lei this here.

Bros Grimm before cellphones.

Follow the recipe and you can never go wrong.

Have you seen the Spring Collections? This is nothing.

And now for a meme about a mime.

Sounds like my spirit animal.

The word for April 13th is:
Cubed /’kju:bd/: [^1. adjective ^2. verb]
^1.1 Cut into (small) six sided pieces.
^1.2 Mathematically increased to the third power.
^2.1 To cut into (small) six sided pieces.
2.2 To mathematically increase an amount or number to the third power.
From French cube (13c.) and directly from Latin cubus, from Greek kybos “a six-sided die,” used metaphorically of dice-like blocks of any sort, also “cake; piece of salted fish; vertebra,” of uncertain origin.

Well it’s been a strange and not very pleasant Easter. The weather over the past four days has been snow, sleet, freezing rain, slush, high winds, and freezing temperatures. A bad head cold (the first I’ve had in years) meant I did not attended planned festivities.

Bah humbug! Sorry wrong holiday.

Anyway let’s laugh the grays away with a few chuckles and snickers.

Only one – sorta – Easter related meme.

Bad! Really bad.

Now for a bit of monkeyshines.

I don’t usual do political but this was too funny.

I believe that would give you +9 points.

ESL gone wrong.

Try it with a capital letter.

Ah it’s the mantra that’s too weak.

Been there – done that – been too tired to give a damn.

The good old days.

And “balding”.

And the bastard will enjoy doing it too.

The mandatory Biblical meme.

If only they’d all be in the same place.

The word for April 6th is:
Monkeyshines /mŭng′kē-shīn″/: [noun]
^1.1 A trick or prank like a monkey’s; mischief; buffoonery; tomfoolery; monkeyism; shenanigans.
U.S. slang, 1832 (in the “Jim Crow” song), from monkey (n.) + shine (n.) “a caper, trick” (1835), from an American English slang sense perhaps related to the expression cut a shine “make a fine impression” (1819).
