A Good Thread

I could be wrong, but I don't recall many threads about dogs. Maybe this could be a good thread about dogs and donuts. If you haven't got dogs to talk about, donuts are good alternative. Nothing about ducks. Except...

DUCK SEASON!

If bedtime is shortly after 4:43 in the afternoon. But that is almost a half an hour later than it was a month ago. We are well over the hump! Days are getting longer.
I wish bedtime was at 4:43 in the afternoon...
Apparently, they inspire singing. I haven't tried it myself, but maybe a little Megadeth or Metallica might be worth trying.
Great idea! Chickens love it!

It has probably been about 30 years, but I recall reading an article where researchers tried various types of music on farm animals. I don't recall all of the genres or the animals tested, but I seem to remember that horses liked Black Sabbath.

Speaking of bedtime, I suppose mine has come and gone and I want to do a little reading before I sleep, so you all take care.

I think this is a good thread with a lot of potential and many good authors with much imagination and dogs.

…which is Icelandic for “work”. :) Not really.

( I have Iceland in mind because of those people in Grindavik who are losing their homes due to the latest fissure eruption on the Reykjanes peninsula.)
Well, that's not good at all!

No indeed. I've checked the live video feeds on YouTube this morning but it's still too dark to see how much further the lava has encroached into the town. It's slow moving and everyone has had a chance to get out, so no risk to life, but a lot of people may lose their homes and Grindavik is one of Iceland's main fishing ports and processing locations, so economically important for them. It may be they will get away with just a few streets lost, but it will have a dramatic effect on the town as many residents won't want to return in case it goes off again at another spot. I understand there is a national insurance scheme against this kind of disaster so at least they will get compensated for loss of their homes.

The fissure is aligned along the fault system where the Mid-Atlantic ridge comes ashore, so obviously a geologically very volatile spot. No doubt, though, the town would have been founded long before the theory of plate tectonics was developed, so just unfortunate they chose to build there. As it's a spreading centre and also a hotspot, eruptions tend to be of the Hawaiian type: fissures eruptions, lava fountains and no pyroclastic horrors, thank goodness.

By the way I see your W key has come back to life. Or are you using a different machine?

Later addition: It looks as if the fissure close to the town has stopped erupting, for the time being. Here is a video feed:
. This sometimes happens. It starts as a long fissure eruption but then activity focuses down to a handful of vents.

I've been in a jam, or two. But it wasn't delicious blackcurrant jam. That's one of the best jams to be in. Of course, if you want your cake and to eat it too, you have to go with lemon curd. It's not a jam. It can be eaten indictment-free.
I can't find the video, but SNL did a parody of
the old commercial...
"With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good."

Jane Curtin: . . . And so, with a name like Fluckers, its got to be good

Chevy Chase: Hey, hold on a second, I have a jam here called Nose Hair. Now with a name like Nose Hair, you can imagine how good it must be. MMM MMM!!

Dan Aykroyd: Hold it a minute folks, but are you familiar with a jam called Death Camp? Thats Death Camp! Just look for the barbed wire on the label. With a name like Death Camp it must be so good its incredible! Just amazingly good jam!

John Belushi: Wait a minute . . . Dog Vomit, Monkey Pus. We offer you a choice of two of the most repulsive brand names of jams youve ever heard of. With names like these, this stuff has got to be terrific. Were talking fabulous jam here!

Chevy Chase: Save your breath fella! Heres a new jam weve just put out. Its called Painful Rectal Itch. Youd have to go a long way to find a worse name for a jam. And good? MMM WAH! With a name like Painful Rectal Itch you gotta bet that its great . . .

Dan Aykroyd: Mangled Baby Ducks. Thats right, Mangled Baby Ducks! Picture a jam so good that youd dare to call it Mangled Baby Ducks! Great Jam! Its beautiful jam!

John Belushi: Wait a minute, wait a minute, this is it – 10,000 Nuns and Orphans.

Jane Curtin: 10,000 Nuns and Orphans? Whats so bad about that?

John Belushi: They were all eaten by rats! Oh, its so good! MMM!

Garrett Morris: Hold it, hold it everyone, your attention please, I have here a jam called, Oh God, [mumbles] Ick! Yecch!

Dan Aykroyd: Its so good its sick making!

Chevy Chase: Oh, thats gotta be great jam!

Jane Curtin: So if its great jam youre after, try this one, the brand so disgusting you cant say it on television. Ask for it by name!
