For those who came in late the pond is on a break.
The pond also couldn't bear the thought of leaving that "Ned" post as some kind of final word.
The pond had hoped to leave a magisterial reptile masterpiece as a placeholder, pinned in place to lure spectators to back copies of the pond, showing off the best of lizard Oz hive mind, while the pond stepped out of the tent for a while.
Foolish pond. As if any of that existed. All was just detritus and a mess of pottage.
Instead, it seemed best to celebrate Scott of the Antarctic ... there's the reptile tent, and then there's a whole world of tents outside the reptile tent, and then there are cute dogs ...
Talk about 'hive minds' how about this:
ReplyDelete“She destroyed the city of San Francisco, it’s — and I own a big building there — it’s no — I shouldn’t talk about this but that’s OK I don’t give a damn because this is what I’m doing. I should say it’s the finest city in the world — sell and get the hell out of there, right? But I can’t do that. I don’t care, you know? I lost billions of dollars, billions of dollars. You know, somebody said, ‘What do you think you lost?’ I said, ‘Probably two, three billion. That’s OK, I don’t care.’ They say, ‘You think you’d do it again?’ And that’s the least of it. Nobody. They always say, I don’t know if you know. Lincoln was horribly treated. Uh, Jefferson was pretty horribly. Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all, that he was treated worse than any other president. I said, ‘Do that study again, because I think there’s nobody close to Trump.’ I even got shot! And who the hell knows where that came from, right?”
Puts Ned, and even Mein Gott, to shame, dunnit.
Anyway, DP, enjoy your break, and maybe pick up, via Chad and Joe, on the Sydney version of 'high tea in the hills' (ie in the Dandenongs) which I used to, but haven't now for several decades. How easily we forget the things we once used to treasure.
