Randomeering time again!
1. Did you hear they found a shark on the New York Subway? Seriously, WTH?! Apparently some kids had found it while swimming at Coney Island, then took it on a roller coaster ride, after which some guy decided it was beautiful and he had to take it home (wonder what exactly he was smoking…) He then left it on the train for everyone else to enjoy. Oooookay.
2. We had our own excitement nearer to home. I was in the pub with a friend the other night when what looked like a bird started flying madly all over the place. The pub in question is an old bank in the truly opulent 19th century style with huge domed, pillared ceilings, and it seemed to keep heading up into the dome, only to plummet back down for another couple of circuits further down. We were all getting a tad dizzy from watching it, when it stunned itself on a window just behind where I was sitting and we saw what it really was:
Poor little thing was not having a good night! Wonder if the pub is reconsidering its open door policy on warm summer nights…
3. Earlier that evening I had another random little connection. Whilst I’m used to seeing the following bottles of wine grace my parents’ table following trips to Provence, I really wasn’t expecting to see one on the top shelf of one of the trendy pubs in town, maybe it got lost…
It was in between bottles of this. Very odd!
4. How many times have you heard kids saying ‘this is soooo boring!’ Well, have I got an event for you to take them to. Introducing Dull and Boring day:
Dull, up the road from me in Perthshire, is twinned with Boring in the US, where the local county is trying to declare the 9th August Dull and Boring day, an annual event. Last heard, Bland, in Oz, is looking to get in on the act too…
5. And finally, close to home, my stats showed that in my top 10 searches that bring people to this site, ass gurus features quite prominently. They must be soooo disappointed ;o)
Linking up with the rest of the Randomeers:
You can only begin to imagine what kind of pervs are coming to your blog, euuuuuuuw!
Those risque photos of bear parts probably didn't help your cause either 🙂
nicely random. Ummm why does the Veuve need a handle?
You're getting battier by the week….
I wonder what THEY consider an ass guru to be…
Ass gurus?!? Bwahahahahahaha!
Bats! I realize they're necessary for the environment and all that, but after having 2(!) inside our house, I'm kind of over them.
Poor shark. Thats just so cruel.
I'm sure the bat recovered though. Please tell me there was at least one happy ending !
I really enjoy your random Thursdays the very best if anyone.
You're a crack up with your fabulous randoms!! though I'm sad for the shark. That umbrella champagne bottle is so wonderfully kooky!!
Love your random Thursday. That bat is really pretty, the way it wings
are formed.
So the umbrella wine was my favorite, until I got to number 5 🙂
Hahahaha! I'll bet they are disappointed too ;o)
I feel bad for the shark! Let him be already. I used to live in a house that had an eave that was the perfect spot for about three dozen bats. Thankfully they were outside the house, but they creeped me out! I would walk in the backyard with a hood on later in the day because they swooped! You were closer to your bat probably 🙂
We get bats flying over every night. I think your photo is a little flattering of the creepy crreatures!
YOU will never qualify for either dull OR boring!
Two weeks ago a bat flew into our bathroom. Mike got a glass and piece of card (rather like catching a wasp) to rescue it. Good job he was home, or I might have had to move out! In the past, he's had to rescue a swallow from the loo. I don't know why our bathroom is so attractive to wildlife. I now go in there warily at night! I can't bear having the windows closed, especially in summer…and don't get me started about the foxes in the garden…
Excellent, as always.
Haha love the ass gurus!
I'm having to close the back doors in the evening now as the bats have been threatening to come into the house. Closest we've had is a moth the size of a baby bat, I ended up just going up to bed to avoid having to deal with it til OH came home from work later that night.
Ass gurus, bats and sharks- oh my! Too funny!
I think this is the random post to beat all! Haha. I kept saying to myself REALLY???? So fun.
ha ha, thanks for the chuckle (s)
Well be, I grew up in Boring, Oregon.
I hope it wasn't too dull ;o)
