Rhinovirus spam. The funniest thing you’ll read all day. Read the comments, too.

Solar-powered sea slugs! Of doom, possibly. Or is it a gene vampire? Or a free-swimming female body part? (Link from comments, NSFW at all.)

Is it a candy bar or a cluster of stars? That sugary Milky Way.

trollprincess asks, WHAT IN THE CHEESY BATTER-DIPPED HELL IS THAT THING. And why does it have so many elbows?

An even more modest proposal. This is worse than the Lawrence Welk version of “One Toke Over the Line.” Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Angevin2 spotted it first.

And a survey:
Five Things I Was Doing 10 Years Ago
1. Cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner for 25 — all by myself. That was wonderful. I loved entertaining, and I gathered my whole family and my then-husband’s in my home for a dinner that was fabulous. The next year I hosted again, but shared the cooking chores and had gramina there to help.
2. Running after a tiny fuzzy kitten named Gabriel, called Spawn of Satan for her miraculous ability to unroll toilet paper.
3. Watching my father and my marriage both die by inches.
4. Starting therapy with Jack, who is still my long-distance therapist. (He’s spent something like 17 years on my family, between my older sister and me.)
5. Loving Michele from 3000 miles away.

Five Things on My To-Do List Today

ISFP – The Artists
[ISFP]
The gentle and compassionate type. They are especially attuned their inner values and what other people need. They are not friends of many words and tend to take the worries of the world on their shoulders. They tend to follow the path of least resistance and have to look out not to be taken advantage of.

They often prefer working quietly, behind the scene as a part of a team. They tend to value their friends and family above what they do for a living.
