Disordered Thoughts and Curmudgeonly Ramblings
You may well accuse me of seeing Dagoth Ur everywhere, but you have to admit that the new Ozostium Aranthus model for Necromunda has serious Dagoth Ur energy.
(‘serious Dagoth Ur energy’ is not a phrase anyone should ever have to type)
MacArthur Park is melting,
Green icing running down,
Somebody left the cake out in the rain,
And I don’t think that I can take it!
‘Cause it took so long to bake it!
And I’ll never have that recipe again!
MACARTHUR PARK!
MACARTHUR PAR-AR-ARK!!
IT’S MELTING!!
I love Alex Lahey.
I love the song Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself by Alex Lahey.
I love the saxophone solo in the song Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself by Alex Lahey.
But I still NEEDED to make this.
I APOLOGISE FOR NOTHING!
I hope this has been enlightening
For fifteen pennies and a box of matches,
He’ll tell you about the things he catches,
Up in the rafters,
Down in the basement,
Running to the window sill to open up the casement,
Leaping high above the daily drama,
Only stopping for a Swedish Llama,
Quick with a jab,
Then with a cut,
Slamming all the windows shut,
You can’t tell exactly what he’s going to do,
Asking everybody for a light except for you,
Fifteen pennies and some matches from Peru,
If you doubt, call it out, with a shout!

Alan Titchmarsh: This is a holly, but it’s not spiky, it’s a small leaved form named Ilex crenata…

The last humans to leave Low Earth Orbit were the crew of Apollo 17 in December 1972. Rock band Van Halen was founded in 1973. This means that NASA just missed the opportunity to play Van Halen in the Van Allen Belt.
An old illustration of a mole or shrew or something. It’s posed on a lump of earth surrounded by water and there’s no indication of scale so you can’t tell if it’s tiny and standing on a clump of moss or hundreds of metres tall and crushing a forest. It has webbed feet and a snake-like tail that doesn’t seem to attach to its body properly and a bizarre elephant-like trunk, and despite being an animal its face bears an expression of terrified desperation as if its family is going to be murdered if it doesn’t remain perfectly still for the artist. The picture is titled Sorex moſchatus Pall. which is certainly the kind of name I’d give to something this bizarre looking.
It’s probably meant to be one of these…
(Turns out it’s a Russian Desman (Desmana moschata) – which is even written on the image in French! – but I’m leaving the video)
