Lourdes was looking for a man outstanding in his field. So she went to the field and waited for him to show.
#923Angela began to look around, curious and more than a little irked that someone had discovered her secret hidey hole and favorite reading spot.

#927 While the Sword in the Stone is well known, its fame is eclipsed by its cousin the stick in the mud.

A stick in the mud is better than a stick in the eye.
Rembrandt van Rijn
Artimus had heard that the parties at Beta Kappa Phi were legendary, but the initiation ceremony had him doubting the decision he'd made to rush.

He survived, but the incident left him with impaired vision and endless sartorial dilemmas.

#937 Lucas never got over the accident that robbed him of his depth perception and then his captaincy of the 7th Regiment Balloon Fleet. He carried a replica of the flagship around his neck to remind him of all he had lost.
Hee. And the hot-air-balloon pendant appears to be upside down, Sarah. If that's an indication of Lucas's piloting techniques, no wonder he crashed.
Actually, the upside down pendant captures the apex of his signature move, the tricky Hot Air Barrel Roll. He was a hit every year at the French Balloon Pilot Championships. That was before they allowed civilian pilots in, of course.
Some say it was an elaborate hoax.

Ma: “Frankie, go put on your sister’s dress and here, take this sombrero and oh, hold this leash we put on the goat. Perfect (don't) smile!”
941:To say that Maude was disappointed in the honeymoon would be putting it mildly.
942:
But the union was fruitful. They were even able to hire a highly recommended nanny.
A nanny goat. That's very clever.Amber wrote: "To say that Maude was disappointed in the honeymoon would be putting it mildly.
Realizing she had made a bad match, Maude soon opted to change partners.

#944 When Patrick's braying bagpipes and Rob's constant attempts to suckle her grew tiresome, Maude said a silent prayer to the Lady of the Waterfall.

946 - Otakon keeps growing in size, but the costumes are getting less and less diverse.
Sadly, even after the painstaking time Monocle Milton spent doing his hair, and the beautiful gesture of bringing a flower to his lady love via his mouth, she still wouldn’t date him.
#949 It had come down to this: Milton knew that his only chance at reality show fame appeared to be dressing as an adult baby, obsessively eating flowers, and impersonating Teddy Roosevelt.
The audience was still rather unimpressed.

#951 After her seventeenth facelift, grandma's skin looked fantastic but she had a disturbing habit of drooling from the pores of her chin.

#953 Demetrios wished that if the wizards insisted on locking him in the painting for all eternity, they would at least pass a heel of bread to him now and again.
Gay marriage? – Republicans get on the right, democrats on the left please. Thank you.
Angelo Bronzino
Family parties often got out of hand at the Georgeopolous household. While mom and sis practiced their jiu-jitsu, little Dmitrius would cheer the battle. Meanwhile, Dad watched while Uncle Bacchus agonized over his day's losses at the chariot track. "Why did I bet that stupid exacta in the seventh?!"

#958 Co-ed naked water polo was going along swimmingly until Fritz decided to get fresh.
Pearl diving with Uncle Mel was never any fun, and this year had been no exception.
It's true. Uncle Mel was a total jerk. People watching from the shore couldn't believe it.[image error]

As committee chair for the annual "Parasol and Bustle Day at the Shore," Charlene was dismayed by the lack of respect her own oversized derriere was shown.

Of her nicely turned right ankle?
The thing that someone might want to get a glimpse of.

What goes with a pair of green patent leather pumps?
Nothing, thought Marisol, as she walked to the open window.
"Nothing goes with a pair of green patent leather pumps!" she shouted to the moon and to the rooftops and to the great starry sky.
But no sooner did she speak than a voice from across the alley let out a plaintive cry: "How about a purple chenille dress?"
Mod
But naturally that's the fault of the illustrator, not the text.

Paolo Veronese
Nice little spaniel, LG. Don't usually see them in Annunciation scenes, but still a nicely painted dog.
Mod
Veronese was big on odd, unnecessary extras in his religious scenes. The office of the Inquisition once censured him for painting a Last Supper that included "dogs, drunkards, and Germans." He retitled it "A Feast in the House of Levi," a very minor Bible story, and that seemed to make it okay.
