Backtalk: A Medium Place
They moved a cherry picker and a big dumpster across the road from me in preparation for the demo that's finally happening on the collapsed house starting at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow morning.
I think I'm going to ask to see that video again, since I'm told it nearly landed on me, and that bricks were flying around. Or maybe not.
If anyone comes by, my child,
Don’t open the gate-
The melons might flee!

Hello everybody - time to face another week in the world, even if it looks at you funny.
Still packing, talk amongst yourselves.
Or read about Naomi Klein's experience of constantly being confused with Naomi Wolf. Or both. Or neither. Enjoy your Sunday evening/ Monday morning.
They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.
Good evening.

Hello and welcome to the internet's cozy corner of cute, Fur Face Friday! As summer winds down, our furry and feathered pals were in fine form in last week's comments.

Welcome to Fur Face Friday. In case you're new here, favorites are chosen by one of the Snout Selectors (facw, k2b, Hannibal, leahaven, and myopicprophet), entirely on our own whimsy. WHIMSY! However, in the interest of solidarity, we try to select one dog picture and one cat picture (minimum!) each week. Other pets will also, of course, be considered. We love all your rats, bunnies, ferrets, and other furry, feathery, and finny pals. WE WILL NEVER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CUTE.
It's a good evening for an arrest and a mugshot. (not the real mugshot.)

So let's get a party going.
It's back to school time again. And those passing judgment on us last week will soon face their own exams.
HoneySmacks' Gizmo is practicing entrapment skills. I'd fall for it if it weren't for those enormous paws.

Hello and welcome to Fur Face Friday. Last week, we had an ensemble of cuteness whimsically shared in all its forms. This week, I’m letting them judge us, as they well should (and yet still with so much cute).
It’s Ginaaa’s Cosmo has seriously had enough of this “work” nonsense you’re always on about when not paying attention to him.
