The Everything 118th Congress Thread

Everyone knows Buddy Jesus. Well meet Jumbo Jesus (He loves you*) * but not Spearfeather -
No, no noise at all. They don't get much bigger than that one. Plumper, that one was skinny. Forearm sized is very big. Didn't know they got that big. Interesting. The green anoles are cool. Used to watch them at my grandparents house in FL. Far as I know they are all named Harry. See if anyone gets that reference. We have no shortage of other desert type lizards. Whiptails and blue racers are common.

Cheers! Heck of a bargain.

These are actually Mediterranean house geckos and came over to the desert southwest (southern NM here) in people belongings. They thrive here because the climate is pretty similar. This one was outside but I've seen them inside the house too. They live in walls and eat whatever unlucky bug who tries to take shelter in there. Don't compete with anything native so it's win win.

Have had GEICO for years already. He knew he was welcome at my casa.

Rescued a little house gecko out of the dog's water bowl this morning. So glad he made it through the night. You could see he was exhausted. Plans being formulated to make sure it doesn't happen again. They are cucaracha grubbing machines. Good luck to have them in your house.

We had a whole series of lectures on Maps as propaganda (and how very effective they are) in one of my upper division geography classes. The big Red Soviet Union most of us grew up with, who's giant size compared to the US when using Mercator projections is very scary, was a prime example. We also had an exercise where we tried to use words to describe a map, of only a small area, and you quickly see how dense the information on even a small map can be. -geography nerd

Odd connection with the Trump trial thread going on here. Smoking some ribs on the patio with a beer and a doob, the breeze and smoke has my farts totally incognito. -

I went 10 years after my health **** went down. It was actually exhilarating once I got back into the swing. Had a whole pack of middle aged ladies swarming me on FB for a while. 😂 Glad I found my wife in the mix. -
What is your Relationship with your In-Laws?
The 12th Commandment replied to PleaseBlitz's topic in The Tailgate
Sadly MIL died when my wife was a girl. From what I hear I would have loved her. Stepmother in law (only married to FIL for a couple months but stayed in the kid's lives anyway) is an incredibly awesome lady, she performed our ceremony. FIL is retired career military and a racist, opinionated, right wing jerk that no one much likes. I've gotten along with him on a superficial level when I've seen him. Wife can't stand him for all kinds of valid reasons so it's not often. -
Good on ya! Hippy dippy za is usually pretty good and pricey.

I made fritters like this with corn and onions for a party once and they were a smash hit.

Made me picture North Carolina residents as hapless dogs getting their butt swatted. -
Meh, I can dream. That ****sucker isn't really going to have to pay for anything most likely. Unless it turns out there is a God after all. I don't believe Trump is running again because he wants to, I think Putin's making him, because he really wants carte blanche in Ukraine and NATO stifled, and watching that the effort to win is sincere. No proof or anything just the way their interactions seem to happen and what would make sense for Putin.
