Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The house always wins.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

How has Obama failed you today?

We still have time to mess this up!

Lighten up, Francis.

The math demands it!

We survived Breitbartpocalypse!

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

We need fewer warriors in public service and more gardeners.

Women: they get shit done

I swear, each month of 2020 will have its own history degree.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

How do you get liars to care about the truth?

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Almost as fun as hiking the Appalachian Trail

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Four legs? good! two legs? we’re not so sure…

    @Baud: I’m not sure about that.  To me, the dog pose says “game on, bitches!”

    Let’s play.

    They seem awfully compliant. Didn’t one of TaMara’s ducks keep ripping off her scarf?

    The odds are the dog is there to keep the ducks from running wild. That breed is used for herding ducks as well as sheep.

    Would she want to do that to Penelope?

    Clearly I need to go back to Australia.  I totally missed this when I was there.

    What did we do before the internet?  And when can we bring this to the US?

    My Modern Met website, from 2014:

    Forget about New York Fashion Week or the Paris runway. In Sydney, Australia, well-dressed ducks steal the scene at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. It’s here that the waterfowl are outfitted in elegant pink, green and yellow gowns, and even have tiny matching hats, too! They waddle down the catwalk at the Pied Piper Duck Show, and the adorable sight is considered one of the highlights of the annual event, which overall attracts an average of 900,000 visitors.

    Brian Harrington, a quirky Australian farmer, is the man behind the fashion show. He’s run it for the past three decades, and works with a professional dressmaker who individually styles each duck to a theme or era. They’ve covered daywear, evening attire, bridal outfits, and more. Currently, they’re showcasing costumes from the 1800’s era as well as favorites from the past.

    Haute couture isn’t the only waterfowl-related event that you’ll see at the Easter Show. Duck racing also has crowds laughing and cheering their favorite contender onto victory.

    Not finding anything recent about this Duck Show.  I hope it is still A Thing.  But stories are 6 to 8 years old.

    This year, the ducks would have to be in masks and PPE.

    My eyes! The cute, it burns! In a good way. Just made a King Arthur’s apple cake with brown sugar frosting with fresh Gravenstein apples and walnuts. Its resting comfortably on the kitchen counter and the smell is lovely.

    Hard work day – a Member who is an industrial supervisor in one of my prison assignments called concerned about laundering San Quentin’s inmate laundry with inadequate safety measures and ppe for him, and his inmate workers. I’m filing a health & safety grievance and am beside myself with worry because they are essential workers this is a necessary service, the virus is rampant and the presumption that CV19 positive was acquired on the job has expired. I try to keep up with as much information as possible and while current opinion is that surface transmission is not prevalent is that the case with fabrics that are used by those with active illness.

    Of course, the irony would be that if they went there, TaMara would have to quarantine for 14 days, but Penelope  only 7.

    Ooooooo. I needed this real bad.

    I was hungry and you gave me to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me to drink, I was disgusted and you gave me a duck fashion show. Yay!

    OH. MY. GOSH. Cheryl, you have no idea how much I needed a thread like this. Thank you!

    (And if anyone plans on sending me clothes…send bandages, too. Ducks have death claws).

    Maybe I’m reading into it, but it seems like putting “High Tea” fashions on ducks is the down under way of poking a little fun at the motherland.
