Just finished supper. Came back while wife does her stuff. I clean all the hard/steel stuff.

Filson just in! Almost as bad....

What next? Pendleton? Banana Republic?

And I NEVER post on FB. I just set it up because my Bee Club migrated that way. THEY'RE WATCHING! I lurk!

I finally stopped getting those *Hot Older Women Near You.*

Nothing but the finest for salvo, man of distinction. The name looks the same but I don't see any connection between them and the firearms company. I don't see their trademark anywhere around there.

THE 2ND AMENDMENT / CLICK BAIT ADS

Hi Folks,

It's gotta be me!

I just went into FB to scroll through my *Social Media*. I was sent an ad for Beretta clothing.

Hey! I got some *durable/fashionable stuff*. I believed it somewhat when I was told: *A poor man can afford nothing but the best.*. I got some good stuff that doesn't fit anymore, but jeez, it still looks good on the hanger. Church will get it someday. Some I've beat to rat scat,.... but it still works,... and I like it. Wife, not so much. *You look like a ragamuffin!.*

Anywayyyyyy. LOOK AT THE PRICES! I didn't pay that much for my guns! Maybe Italian pricing is way different!

a bee a bug ?
gotcha !     

I should think it would be apparent that I wasn't speaking in a strictly scientific manner in this context!    Or am I not allowed to call a tomato a vegetable ever??!!

Mostly, I was just tickled to catch 15th on a technical error  ... hard to do with bee biology

Channel?
Nah Teri, I don't document my inquiries with video, plenty of others doing that. I do it with  words, silly projects, and injuries.

Alas, while I have personally confirmed the flammability of methane, I received no scars to document it. While the study was conducted in a college setting, it wasn't scientifically controlled(or controlled in any other sense).  Plus, the results may have been affected by the copious amounts of alcohol in my system at the time; which definitely precipitated the experiment itself. So on this, we are reliant on other intrepid souls of youtube to document the science.

This particular line of inquiry has brought to mind a question of paramount importance. That question is, of course, "Do bees fart?"
 While I have found researchers claiming that they do, all of them merely describe the expulsion of air accompanying solids and/or liquids. I find these claims dubious since a true fart must contain methane and be of gas alone. While methane content can be argued as to whether it is a correct metric for definition, I cannot accept the idea that expulsion of anything other than gas, can be considered a fart. Indeed, not only do I reject the ideas of these researchers, but would prefer to not be anywhere around them, and most especially not behind them.

Even looking to youtube, I haven't seen any documentation of flaming bee butts. Further research is definitely needed to answer this question, so I've begun looking into the process of applying for a federal grant.

HUMOR IS A FUNNY THING / Honest Answer

« Last post by Ben Framed on November 30, 2023, 07:58:18 am »

A couple had been married many years.

The wife confessed to her husband, "honey I can't help but notice while looking in the mirror putting on makeup, the wrinkles are getting longer and deeper and this is depressing. Can you give me a word of encouragement?"

The Husband, loving his wife dearly, quickly went into action searching for encouragement! The first good quality, quickly came to his mind, 'and out of his mouth'; "I sure can honey, look on the bright side of things", "at least your vision is still 20/20!"

HUMOR IS A FUNNY THING / BIKE WRECK

« Last post by salvo on November 30, 2023, 12:11:12 am »

One Sunday a pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers.

A woman stood up and walked to the podium.

She said, *I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband Tom had a terrible bicycle wreck, and his scrotum was completely crushed.

The pain was excruciating, and the doctors didn't know if they could help him. *

There were muffled gasps from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that Tom must have experienced.

*Tom was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom's scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place. *

Again, the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.

*Now, * she announced in a quavering voice, *thank the Lord Tom is out of the hospital, and the doctors say that with time his scrotum should recover completely. *

All the men sighed with relief.

The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.

A man stood up walked slowly to the podium and said, *I?m Tom. *

The congregation sat completely silent as if mesmerized, waiting for what Tom had to say.

*I just want to tell my wife that the word is sternum. *

I can never get over that bees make wax.  Every time I melt wax or make a candle, I always say to my family, "Bugs made that, can you believe it?"
