Not bad, it's very evident that he is a Jack of all Trades guy. The yellow paint is also for quickly seeing where he left his tools. A while back I had a day off and when I got back I saw that someone had been using my tools and didn't put them away properly. So I had to politely educate everyone at work about it.

Welcome to my world.
I was talking to an older lady at work a while back, and she was saying how attractive everyone at the McDonald's seemed to be these days. And I told her that they weren't attractive because they were objectively good looking. They were attractive because they were young and that her biological drive was telling here they were better breeding material. She thought about it a minute, and her face lit up like a lightbulb went off, and she goes "Damn..you're right"

My biological drive just tells me young people are annoying. But then I'm slightly off from heteronormative so eh
 
See, even if I were a breeder, I wouldn't want my spawn coming out of that. What gets my biological drive going is a woman that has her shit together. Show me a single mom that can hold down a job, get shit done, take care of her kids, and somehow still manages to have time for a relationship. If your caveman brain is just looking for the best possible carrier of your genetic material, that's the target.
 
Yes, but not all parts of your brain are that advanced. Wide hips, waist, big breasts, youthful appearance without blemish or signs of sickness, same tribe but different enough they don't trip the same-gene-switch, go.
You think those birds/monkeys/etc aren't aware that having the biggest red feathers or the tallest hair or the fastest dance move isn't actually the best?

No offense to your kind, Bubble, but I really don't expect birds to do much rational thought at all
 
The gummies someone I know uses to sleep at night are almost out, so I've placed a pre-order to the local dispensary, which I'm sure will be quiet and and not at all busy today, the 20th of April. :Leyla:
 
That may just be because he sees the hat.

When I was in College and first graduated, I drove a used state car. It was the same model that the Texas Rangers and other detectives drove at the time. So when I went on road trips I'd put on an Oxford shirt and a cowboy hat and drive fast as hell (like 80mph+ back in the I can't drive 55 days.) Every time I saw a cop on the side of the road, I'd wave and not slow down.
 
It is so strange that I splurged a bit last night eating a steak that was half the size of my plate, and the other half was covered with fries. Then I lost 2 lbs. overnight.

Seriously, that was the easiest thing in the world. Order online. Drive up and hand someone your license and cash. Five minutes later they come out with your order and change. Everyone offering curbside service should take note.

When I go to mcdonalds, I order what I want on my phone, pay, drive to the store, park in a 'mobile delivery' space, and then type the # of that space on my phone. 5 minutes later, someone comes out with my food.

I should have been doing this before covid19. I hate dealing with people inside the store, and also and drive though idiots who take 10 minutes to order 2 items.
 
I swear to the gods below that COVID-19 is making the faculty on campus stupider. I've requested financial information (amount/fund number) from them so I can get their students paid and I'm getting back "I don't understand" or "I'm paying my student $XXX" with no fund number provided. Read and follow the directions, people! I'm on a timeline here!
 
I want a 3-panel comic, done sort of C&H or SrGrafo style.

1st panel: Office setting. Cubicles. Person A in foreground wearing headphones with musical notes dancing around them. Eyes closed, Person B in background cubicle sort of boredly glancing over at Person A. Person A is happily singing along--"Come a little closer, uh. A little closer, uh!..."

2nd panel: Close-up of Person B in his cubicle with suddenly shocked expression on his face. Thought balloon with "Oh no!"

3rd panel: Extreme close-up of Person B. Thought balloon with "He's caught (the?) Sharonavirus!"

Except this one is not like the others.

Google tells me it is a Rosa Rugosa, but I think the leaves are the wrong shape. Anybody know what kind of flower/shrub this is?

If that's a Rosa rugosa, then the color balance on your camera is horrible because all the rugosa roses I found were pink/fuchsia, not red.
No luck searching for a name, though I've learned that your rose would probably be classed as a "semi-double" and "once-flowering" rose, which means it is probably also an "old-fashioned" or "heritage" breed of rose.
