Andaman Islanders perhaps?

Vulture Fan

From Stacia Novy. Picture this revolving above your hospital bed. I WANT one...

Schrödinger's Cat at the Vet's

Ht. Jonathan Hanson.

Update: Mark Farrell- Churchill responded with a corollary joke in the comments, too good not to share:

Werner Heisenberg gets pulled over by a traffic cop. Cop walks up to the car and says, "Sir, do you have any idea how fast you were going?" Heisenberg responds, "No..., but I can tell you exactly where I was!" 

Update 2, from Peculiar:

Heisenberg gets stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint. "Sir, the dog alerted, we're going to have to search your vehicle." They open the trunk. "Sir, you have a dead cat in here." "Well sure, NOW I do!"

Useful card

Caption?

From Jonathan Hanson.

UPDATE: I think Dennis has the winner: "Halten Sie mein Bier und beobachten Sie diese" (Hold my beer and watch this).

Cowboy Humor

Montana writer and third generation  rancher John Moore has a good new novel coming-- which somehow led to this photo by and of his friend, western cartoonist Wally Bagdgett (who is also a thinly disguised character in the book):

I am not sure who wrote the caption...

"Wally Badgett, creator of the “Earl” cartoon, announces his new Roman Riding Act which will debut in pro rodeo this summer featuring the highly-trained Clyde (left) and Pedro. Wally explains that his buddy, John L. Moore, has a new book coming out this Spring that is certain to make him famous, giving him the time and money to do what he has always wanted to do. “I’ve been attracted to Roman Riding because of the costumes,” he explains. “I can’t wait to wear fringe, Spandex, glitter, bling, and sequins. Hopefully in a hot pink and lavender combination.”

What wine goes with..?

What Birds Say

From John Wilson :

Owes something to There's a Hair in my Dirt I suspect...

No water. TWO "meetings' tonight for those of us who want to sit in irritable crowds in the heat and not be able to shower afterward.

Separated at Birth?

Excuses for Missing Work

I THINK I got this from the WSJ last week but all I have is a clipping...

Dog was having a nervous breakdown

My dead grandmother was being exhumed.

Toe was stuck in toilet

Upset by watching Hunger Games

Sick from reading too much

Hair turned orange while trying to dye it another color

My sobriety cutoff wouldn't let me start my car.

Rude scary poster

From Annie Davidson. My preferred caption is: "So Feduccia: explain to me again how birds aren't dinosaurs..."

More on the "controversy" (not very, actually) here.

Cladistics

From the always reliable XKCD, via Jonathan who just emailed that he was in Nairobi impatiently waiting to go out in the bush. We should all be so lucky as to have THAT cause for impatience!

Bizarro.

The Girls in Santa Fe

Much more in a little, but just downloaded this pic of The Girls looking rather formal and on their best behavior while staying at the Peculiar's last week midst the chaos.

They behaved well, were a great comfort, and went to the graveside, though Lashyn (left) remained rather nervous the entire time. (She has a bit of the personality and neuroses of Helper Dog, though she is smarter).
