Daisies today...
The larger daisies are Osteospermum. I think that means "boner" in Latin. Weird, right? Sadly, they withered within hours. The garden center guarantees their plants, so I thought about returning them but I couldn't get past the part where I whisper to the clerk, These boner flowers aren't into me.
I took this photo of the clouds that have been sucking the sunshine & warmth from our May...
Pretty, so I won't complain that our temps have been in the 60's instead of the 80's. I'm also not going to complain about the price of petrol. Or how tired I am of politics already when we have another year of exclamatory yabber to endure.
I'll say this much: I'm not a Political Party Person. I pick sides according to circumstances, I pick sides on issues, and it is always a trade-off that leaves an oily residue on my brain b/c no conglomerate of opinion-thought-feeling will ever make half the sense of one free-thinking human being. I've known enough elitists & hypocrites on all sides so that in the end, I believe assholery is a human right & not endemic to one Party. I'm a big fan of Abraham Lincoln. And I often wonder what he would make of all this.
My email has ads in the sidebar..there's an ad for car insurance that features a realistic dancing skeleton. Just text & the skeleton. I want to find the people who come up with these ideas & slap them...because someone didn't, and they need it.
Ditto for all the maxipad, tampon & birth control commercials that indicate women are glowing & thrilled over their flowery uteruses. I'll buy a year's supply of feminine products from the first brand that shows a bloated, pissed off, witchy woman knocking old ladies & small children aside to get to her Ho-Ho's or potato chips.
If you completely close your mouth while using an electric toothbrush, your head will rattle like you're sucking on a jackhammer.
I saw a John Mayer video recently & was astounded to see that he's stopped looking like he's going to the bathroom while he's singing. I'm kind of disappointed.

HAHA!!! I love your sense of humor!! It is just right! LOL@ What will make you buy a year supply of Products.. I JUST WANT MY CHOCOLATE MAN!
I want the recipe to your pasta! I need it really really bad!! LOL!! PLEASE JO!!
Love your WTF Thoughts!!
I love randomness. And I love Osteospermum, in spite of their funny name. They are really nice looking. Cheers Jo!!
Hey, if a singer doesn't look constipated, then they're not working hard enough.
I'd buy those feminie products too. And a year's supply of the Ho-Ho's to boot.
I hate those ads blinking cockroaches and spiders. WTF? I want to just kill whoever did those.
I think you're right about the politics. I lean toward a party, but I oscillate a lot. That being said, I'm really really sick of the current administration.
you know....I've actually done the electric toothbrush thing. Not a good feeling. Love your post but now I'm heading to the garden shop to buy a boner.
I always wondered why they don't put chocolate and snack items on the same isle with feminine products. It would make a lot of sense.
So I guess Dave Matthews is the only one who looks like he straining to take a poop when he sings now? ;-)
One of these days I'm going to use the word "Osteospermum" in a blog entry. Something like: "I went to the strip club last night and that Latina dancer gave me a real 'Osteospermum'"
Or something like that. haha
Boner flowers *giggle*
All the politics are driving me crazy now. When you go over all the issues and the candidates you end up feeling hopeless.
I would totally get the feminine products with a lady turning into a werewolf on the packaging. You see it and think, yes, yes, that's the one for me.
Shutup. *sniff*sniff* You had me at "sucking on a jackhammer".
Very pretty flowers, lovely cloud shot.
The ads showing happy women with their periods are not nearly as bad as the latest yeast infection one, with the muttering clouds hover over the affected area, which then miraculously turn into happy singing rainbow sunny clouds. Even the child with the product in the truck was not that bad!
Anthropomorphizing individual body parts leaves me gagging!
Cinder-Single: Thanks! You crack me up, I JUST WANT MY CHOCOLATE MAN! I can email you about the pasta :)
Matt-Man: Now you can be all manly about liking daisies. I can see the card to your Lady Love going a little like: Boners for you, my Darling.
Maggie: I'm going to try to put more effort into my Rockband vocals so I can look constipated too.
Yeah, I don't know anyone who isn't disgusted with the current administration.
Onedaisy: I hope you get better boners than I did LOL!
Of course after my toothbrush discovery, I had to tell hub to try it.
Jay: That's brilliant, snacks & tampons in the same aisle!
Dave Matthews does get really into it, but I've never seen anyone do it quite like John Mayer--I think he tours in a little yellow bus.
When you use osteospermum in that context, it sounds a bit like you might need antibiotics afterwards LOL
Knight: Werewolf LOL I'd buy that one too! If we could just cut & paste parts of politicians, we might end up making a real person.
Christopha!: Shutup <---is that Yiddish? Good thing I don't speak Yiddish...no comprende! I don't really know what else to say about sucking on jackhammers without walking right into something...
Reb: Thank you! I haven't seen the yeast commercial, now I want to :) If singing rainbows hovered over my ladyparts you'd hear me screaming from Canada!
Geesh (that wasn't exactly a sheesh) that was a funny collection of thoughts. You've got a delightfully scary brain, and I'm glad you share it so publicly. Lovely photos as always. Now, go have a happy period! ;)
Hilary: Is it that obvious?! I just ate half a bag of Werthers Toffees, I'm very happy! :D
I think this is why I dislike the word moist. It's feminine products. I also dislike refresh. Because, well, it makes me feel like I douched when I have nothing to douche.
And yes, even though it's been much cooler in temperature, it's still allergy season here, which means the ash trees, those trees with white flowers that smell like ass are blooming. And of course I'm allergic to them.
Noel: LOL! How have I not come across these ass-trees? There's this one purple-flowered tree that smells exactly like sex, it's disconcerting.
You must fidget every time you come across your browser's Refresh button :P
Most asshat politicians could use a boner flower to unstick their anholes.
Right?
Ha! Your ideas ricochet like pinballs. I like that. Good grumbling too. You're going to make a terrific cranky old lady.
Oh amen. And Jay's on to something. Put chocolate, salty snacks, tampons, midol, and baseball bats in the same isle and I'm a happy camper.
Mike: You mean, like a plunger? I'd rather they did it with some old-school bottlerockets!
Frank: So that's what that ding-ding sound is...all this time I thought I was imagining it!
I have big plans for when I'm really old, Frank.
Newt: Baseball bats would be a baaaaad idea! I'd have Twinkies smeared all over my face in my mugshot.
I took a Midol once & it knocked me out for 18 hours. Wait a minute, why am I thinking that's a bad thing? LOL
Good I love ya Jo.. it is ummm singlendacity89@gmail.com
the ads that are killing me are the Viagra ads. show me a bunch of guys hanging out together talking (and singing!!) about how limp their dicks are and this Ho will give up her Ho-Ho's for a year.
Cinder-Single: I sent it! Be careful how you use it--after a good meal, men have been known to propose & promise never ever to fart in my presence LOL!
Dianne: It sounds like the male version of The View! Gag, gag. I think your ho-ho's are safe.
Boner flowers withering quickly. That's going to keep me chuckling all day today. :)
Also, would you email me? I'd like to quote you on my blog.
(found you through Pickled Beef)
Musing: Glad you got a smile! I emailed you :) Thanks for stopping by, I meet the nicest peeps through Tink.
