oh wow, that breathable mesh bodysuit for men looks like it should be illegal! lol
And those Seagulls sound plain rotten!
Happy Monday :)
Hmm. I don't get why the eviction, I guess he has a monopoly
I enjoyed all the links, but I’m not so sure about that mesh body suit it reminds me of the string vests my dad used to wear! The cannabis among the flowers made me smile but yuk to the fat burger. The flake thing in the ice cream is just bureaucracy gone mad!
that breathable mesh bodysuit cracked me up lol!
now i want that ice cream!
big hugs~
xx
...have a great week ahead! xx
First... that mesh suit... NO. Just NO.
Second, a comp that writes sexist jokes? Like we need more?
As much as the above is no, I do enjoy the interesting articles you find!
Such interesting news articles! Yuck about the seagulls, though! And I like the idea of Boring and Dull Day. :)
Hi Tracy,
There is so much going on here this week, that I don't know where to look first (I know where not to look .. that breathable suit just doesn't do it for me I'm afraid).
I had already caught quite a few of the articles, however I love the one about the ice-cream seller (hubbie wuldn't be impressed if he got given his flake separately and told to insert it into the cone himself!).
The other clip which was eye-catching, was the day trip to the crematorium! Given that I have spent the best part of the afternoon in Bath crematorium at the funeral service of a fellow volunteer, I probably won't be wanting to do this any time soon!
Thanks for sharing your finds, a great mix, as always.

That 12-course meal is ambitious, but not appetizing!
Perhaps a less "breathable" suit would be better, after all.
Outlaw the flake, I always say!
Thank you for all of this crazy news, and a reminder that humor (humour) reigns supreme at Pen and Paper.
Hi
After so long !
I loved that breathable suit. Only one problem. There is no mesh at the place of the only organ that can breathe !
Fun stuff (okay maybe not so fun for the pensioner suffering from seagull vomit attack). I'd love to take that Gothic class and have my spine chill and tingle. (I did take one named '19th Century Gothic Literature' in University and that was my favourite class. The earliest class of the week. And I always had a piping hot latte in a hand as I listened to the lecturer talk about Dickens.)
Oh, and 9th August is Singapore's National Day. What were the odds?
I am sure that hackers the world over will rush to exploit the vulnerability found in that toilet. Perhaps one could install an anti - virus.
Hi Tracy, I'm not too sure at all about that mesh bodysuit....!
I love 99s! How daft...
I saw the fatburg one! You have to wonder what else is down there...
I'm a big scared of that bodysuit. who would wear that out in public? That and nothing else!
-Lauren
Oh! Oh! I want a degree in Gothic Studies!
Umm...my mind stopped reading this post with the image of the bodysuit. *-* Yeah, somethings are better left undone....*shakes head*
Somehow I missed this post. I'm glad I looked back and found it!
I can imagine that breathable mesh bodysuit going down well in the gay world.
