Well Hello, Equinox!

 

Another day, another week

 


Duck Soup: dysfunctional quackers

 

 
Huey, Dewey and Louie
are Donald Duck's nephews
and Scrooge McDuck's
grand-nephews.

They are identical triplets.

So Donald Duck must have a 
brother or sister duck.
 
Who do the little ducks belong to?
 
A Google search finds
Disney's back story is that
the nephews were born to
Della and Jamie Duck,
who all live in Duckville.

Della or Jamie (which?)
and brother Donald 
are the children of 
Quackmore and Hortense Duck.

Donald's duck relatives
have never been seen, 
 tho they all live in the same town.

Can Netflix not smell trouble
 and a gothic multi-parter?

None of the ducks wear pants.
 
Are any of these kids in counseling?
What's with Donald's
parents and siblings silence?
What are the dark duck secrets?

And is there no Walmart
in Duckville?
 
You know, all that bare
duck butt.

Should I start
a Go-Fund Me?

Banksy blooms in London

 

There's a new Banksy in London's Finsbury Park

                 --Street Art News  

A dead tree in London suddenly blooms again.

Yes, the gardener is painting with a fire extinguisher.

STRANGE MOMENTS: L'Après-midi d'un Faune

_


There have been many orchestral and ballet versions of Debussy's most famous melody.

I have never seen one that involves a giant Kleenex box.

I bet you haven't either.

Six minutes, with an unexpected payoff. Weird? Creepy? Sexy? Erotic? Insanely inventive?

Easily the strangest clip YouTube's algorithm sent me this week.  

The dancer is Christophe Roméro.

Wicked weekend

 

 Chugged a half thimble of Guinness,
then things got weird

Cat Lady

 

On March 17, celebrate St. Gertude of Nivelles, Patron of Cats, the Recently Diseased, Gardeners, Travelers, Those with Mental Illness and those with a Morbid Fear of Mice and Rats.

She was a Benedictine nun during the 7th century, a known opponent of rodents.

“St. Gertrude is invoked against mice and rats, which has led cat lovers to assume that Gertrude was a cat person, and so the ideal patron of their favorite pet,” according to official notation.

Wrongfully ignored by green beer drunks.

MEGAVALANCHE! FULL RUN CARNAGE!

I shared the Siegerfahrt yesterday on this blog.

It's an annual mob mayhem on skis.

The YouTube algorithm now thinks I'm searching for exciting new ways to kill myself.

It has raised the stakes.

The MegAvalanche above is the result.

Again, a mob start of an unbelievable event.

Snow at the top, rocks at the bottom.

Hell in the middle.

Does that speedometer at upper left say 86 km? 

Jeez.

SIEGERFAHRT!

Gesundheit!

Until today, I had no idea what a Siegerfahrt might be. 

And now that I've seen the 12-minute event, I fear the YouTube algorithm is having a nervous breakdown. I'm the last person to send this to.


I made a one-point landing on my right knee in my 30s. I'd almost forgotten.
 

555 skiers and snowboarders,
mass start, 9 km course
the final few meters are
hardcore S&M

LOST SONGS: You're Nearer - Joe Coughlin

"You're nearer than my head is to my pillow ... " 

Joe Coughlin has posted a bunch of his favorite"saloon standards" on YouTube.  This Rodgers & Hart 1940 movie tune is a fave.
