Reading Claytoonz blog today I got a chuckle out of this, talking about basketball trash talk:

“Jordan would often tell an opponent what he was going to do, then do it. He’d even trash-talk the opposing coaches. One player tried to trash-talk Jordan, who then replied that he had a lot to say for a guy wearing his shoes. The man was wearing Air Jordans.”

E for Erinyes also known as the Furies, the female deities of vengeance in ancient Greek religion and mythology. The Iliad invokes them…as “the Erinyes, that under earth take vengeance on men, whosoever hath sworn a false oath”.

Beauty we are often told

Lasts even when you are old

But wrinkles are dreary

Show that you’re too weary

Should never be shown in bold.

Is it just me or is the Speaker of the House taking on a bit more than his position requires? Meeting today in LA with what results? I feel he’s trying to be the “supreme leader” following in Trump’s footsteps. Maybe I missed a political science lesson, but I thought the Secretary of State or the Vice President was in charge of foreign affairs. The Secretary of Defense even, when considering Taiwan. McCarthy is to me, a much too biased politico to take on important duties such as this. His main job should be to oversee and control the House of Representatives, and that’s ominous enough.

D for dragon. Beliefs about dragons vary considerably through regions. Draconic creatures appear in virtually all cultures around the globe and the earliest attested reports of draconic creatures resemble snakes, because humans have an innate fear of snakes and other animals that were major predators of humans’ primate ancestors and often depicted as winged, horned, and capable of breathing fire. Dragons are usually said to reside in “dank caves, deep pools, wild mountain reaches, sea bottoms, haunted forests”—all places which would have been fraught with danger for early human ancestors.

My diet’s working, only berries from now on

It makes me less attractive and safer from the throng.

Always leering, looking, while I’m doing…anything

Those people in the park with their cameras on a string.

I’ve decided with the diet I will seem less visible

Therefore all the visitors will be less quizzable.

I shouldn’t blame them, I guess they are no threat

But we bears like privacy and it’s what we don’t get.

Every time I see one coming I hide behind this tree

Even then they snap and laugh as if they can see me.
