The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I hanker after a kilt but my wife won’t have it. You aren’t a Scot is her view although our family name does have a tartan. The best I can do is a pair of tartan trews in Black Watch and wear them with my dinner jacket.

I did buy them without permission but she grudgingly accepts they look good🤭😂
I know some men on another thread that could hook you up with a skirt or two.🤭
 
Home/scrotel, here in OuttaTown. Got here and realized that I left my shirts at the house. Yeah. I seem to have gotten everything else, I think. So, a trip to Wally's and that's sorted out for the week. And I got to the scrotel and discovered that there are 3 shirts on hangers in the closet from last week. I may take some back, then again, I can be a bit of a clothes ho - rse. I'll probably keep 'em.


Work is getting slower and less populated in spite of our efforts to get this thing kicked in its ass. Yeah . . . . I did get some personal issues - well, one - sorted today, and that was to the point of being pressing.


Not sure what's for supper, but my guess is the last piece of casserole.
 
I learned to cook for a large family - and even larger groups.
Cooking for 1 has always been a challenge.
Cooking one single, individual ear of fresh sweet corn?
Felt really weird.
(Not as weird as some of the looks I get for buying just one ear at a time)
But so delicious!! 🌽
You may be taking over the kitchen and regret this...lol

Well, hello there, Calypso!
Tell us more, @Wat_Tyler


A start:


Calypso at the Gate



Danish warmblood. Blood bay.
So what? You’re a fucking horse!!!
Seventeen hands, so you’re kinda big,
Medium brown,
A couple of white feet, back feet,
A star and a stripe on your long nose bridge.
But they took your nuts, gelding.
I’ll bet that they didn’t even ask,
And that they didn’t give you anything back, either.
They left you your soul,
And it’s an awfully pretty one, too.
Big eyes, observant, gentle.
Oh, they could be a touch crazed.
They’d open wider and show me the white
Around your big ol’ iris.
“Just who do you think you are, human?
You little shit! Sawed-off human!!!
You’re not my mommy,
And you don’t get to
tell me what to do.”
And you would stretch your neck out and lift that
Magnificent big old head
And then look down that very long
Very regal, magnificent nose.


There was that time I had to open
The Large Gate
To get my car out of the yard.
You decided that you - Royal You -
That nothing would be finer than eating grass from the yard.
Maybe the dog poop there
Gives it a spicy tingle.
“Get in their faces,”
She said.
“Get large,” she said.
So I opened the gate and here you came
All 1300 pounds of you.
Leading, as always.
You had that position sewed down.
So I got in your face.
I got large. You stopped, and raised your head.
I was looking at your right eye,
And it got Very Large
As you looked
Way
Down
at
Me.
And you stopped for what seemed like forever.
It was a long second at most.
And then you moved.
You feinted left,
So the human went right
And then he went to school.
You see - you knew.
Horses are Very Big
And they have Long Legs.
Four Of Them.
You moved right
And the human moved left
And was greeted by air.
I had gone two steps and you
Had gone 12 feet.
Clippity clop, off right tackle,
Followed by your merry band of
Equine Assholes.
I called the lot of you
Every sort of Motherfuckers
That I could think of.
You weren’t even listening.
You got what you wanted.
Lawn Grass.
You were corralled and safe
As I got out the car
And shut the gate behind us.
Swishing tail,
Flicking ears,
A snort,
The sounds of tearing grass.
Two Legged Control Freak.
We showed him.

I would be dead....i have the ac guy coming

(Not as weird as some of the looks I get for buying just one ear at a time)
But so delicious!! 🌽
I don’t even bother cooking sweet corn. I like to eat it raw. So good. So sweet and so tender!!
