It took me a day

The Feather Star

has an elegant locomotion

he floats and glides and walks

along the floor of the ocean

What in the name of Cthulhu is THAT! 'Feather Star'? Never heard of him.

It’s giving me real lionfish vibes, which I suppose could be the goal.

Exactly what I thought!

Would also accept “OOOOOOOOOOOOOK-lahoma, there’s no wind down here beneath the waves!”

I'll grant you evolution

Can produce some oddball twists

But how the hell does anything

Adapt to look like this?

It all must work to benefit

Or they would be extinct

Oh, help me Mr. Darwin

I find it hard to think.

Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today

"How you likin' coconuts now, b*tch?!"

Looks like the top of a coconut tree to me. More like zombie coconut treetop.

I don't really know what that is, but RUN AWAY!

Is that Bovino hightailing it into retirement?

Shocktreatment's avatar

Without something to stand on?

He's just tailing it...

CambridgeKnitter's avatar

No way am I lending him my stilts. I assume his legs are too short for them anyway.

Feather stars ain't fash-y!

Those colors say "don't mess with me" and I'm keeping my distance!

Always Be Ithacating's avatar

I'd never considered how much fun it would be to go for a stroll on my 10-20 feathery arm/legs – stylish form and function, and replaceable too!

Shocktreatment's avatar

So I had a cinematic daydream featuring extraterrestrial invaders that look exactly like Feather Stars, except for being 3 meters tall, and massing 200 kilos...

They move through our atmosphere as lightly and fluidly as the underwater creatures move through their element and they're fond of combat sports.

It's a good thing that they hate fascists as much as we do.

CambridgeKnitter's avatar

I was a nursing mother, and that is so not my fantasy. Breaks are good, necessary even, and I enjoyed the experience overall, most of the time.

Shocktreatment's avatar

More to mermaids than reaches the eye...

Revenant's avatar

Of course, not meeting the eye was the whole point of the starfish pasties and the strategically placed clamshells. With juvenile fantasies such as mermaids there was only so far you could take suggestiveness. Anybody else her ever watch Disillusioned all the way through? In one of the final series Princess Bean has a torrid affair with a mermaid, as a subplot.

tehbaddr's avatar

Whoa! I went looking for that and it's Disenchantment, by Matt Groening. I never new it existed and really must see it!

Shocktreatment's avatar

Pretty fond of the Disillusioned series, some of those 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 movies are pretty good too.

Remember, when all the ICE not-cs are put on trial, it has to be on state charges to avoid any overt or secret pardons coming out of DC on or before 01-20-2029. I don’t know how some things are done, but it’d be interesting to see said not-cs “extreme renditioned” back to the blue states in which they committed their crimes. Again, I don’t know how that would work. Maybe someone can discuss the possibility of this happening with someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows how it could happen…..

"Melania’s movie ain’t doin’ so hot in the UK. “UK ticket sales for Melania are so far ‘soft’, according to Tim Richards, the chief executive of Vue, one of the country’s biggest cinema operators. Just one ticket has been sold for the first 3.10pm screening on Friday at its flagship Islington branch in London, while two have been booked for 6pm.” Ain’t nobody going to see that piece of shit, here, there or anywhere."

If they showed her movie on a plane, people would get up and walk out.

Goldfish's avatar

Ticket sales of Melania are soft, you say? How soft are they?

But I love about this is that the little freak is being banished El Centro california. So that shithole wide spot on the highway npw sports a dick in its armpit.

lisaaug's avatar

Thank you Evan for reminding us that almost everything wrong in this country today is caused by our failure to defeat the confederacy. I blame generals Sherman, Sheridan and Grant for not rounding up every single motherfucking confederate and hanging them slowly and painfully by the neck until they were dead, dead, DEAD. Including my own damn ancestors.

“It’s just too far away” 🤔🤨😕

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

Yeah, I suppose Santa Clara CA *is* too far from 'Murrica.

We don't want him in CA now or ever.

I finally have something in common with Trump: I don't like long plane rides either.

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

He’s welcome to leave the plane any time he wants. Preferably over Texas.

eo's avatar

Give him the D. B. Cooper special: a big bag of money and a flukey parachute. We'll never see him again.

I think we need to divide this country into four new countries: West Coast, East Coast, Midwest, and South. (The South has to take trumpy.) I know this is drastic and a logistic nightmare, but it would still be better than what we have now. I am really tired of right-wing minority rule and our current system (Electoral College, Senate, Red State favoritism) pretty much guarantees that. Besides, it would be nice not to be the World's Superpower (we may have lost that already along with our best allies). Power benefits the rich and powerful, not ordinary citizens.

Terence Dougherty's avatar

Military bases out of Southern states first, please…

Biff52 Lost Canadian's avatar

USAmerica in its current reality is ungovernable. 4 smaller countries makes sense, especially to me as a West Coast based life form.

Today is a bit…hell, I’m just depressed. Between the cold, the cabin fever, and everything else, I’m just losing it at bit. As much as I would love to just do something, I can’t really afford to just hop in an uber and ride. God knows I would do that if I could.

Not helping: pain. To the point that I needed a pain pill earlier.

Why Hattiesburg?, she asked. My best friend growing up used to live in Hattiesburg with her then-girlfriend. When my husband and I visited them, they took us to what might have been the only gay bar in Hattiesburg. My husband was berated by a couple of the local butch lesbians for not intuiting that the unlabeled single-stall bathroom he used (after I did) was women-only. I might have met the interior designer; there was one really good-looking man that I noticed. I did not get the impression that any of them would associate with the likes of that bargain-counter Nazi, much less trade bodies with him.

Chef's kiss, Evan!

This Administration does not give a shit about people being shot for the sketchiest of reasons, no reason, or a made-up reason. They care a tiny bit about the really bad PR from it, because we still have elections. For now.

Got halfway through Blue Moon, finding it difficult to watch. Hart seems to me to be portrayed as a bit too much of a buffoon. It did inspire me to listen to the soundtrack of Boys From Syracuse, though, so there's that...
