That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 21, 2021

Inspired by Scarlett O’Hara, Maria turned a curtain into a dress and a curtain rod into a spear.

Hopefully this is a better role for her than “Call Me Kat”.

Maria stopped half way into the room, certain that she had forgotten something.

“We’ve all seen the Carol Burnett joke dear; no need to display it at every party.”

Thanks but no thanks for the feminine product advice Amy Shummer…

“Doc, it’s this tooth, and I don’t want to be conscious when you start to drill.”

That dreadful time when you realize today isn’t the toga party, it’s your grandma’s funeral.

Would it be deemed a gross impropriety/ or worse yet, an act of impiety/ to suggest to this deity/ that she, it, or “heity”/ might benefit from a “diety” ?

I don’t get the reference. Who is Ms Bialik?

Percalia, the goddess of high thread-count sheets and pillowcases.

Columbia on Casual Friday.

Where the *^+k did I leave my sunglasses? Oh of course, they’re on my head.

“Hmm, where did I leave my shoes?”

Never had the Oracle at Delphi been so undecided.

It’s true – time travel is an integral part of That is Priceless.

That’s Dr. Bialik, to you.

I hope she isn’t saying “yes” to that dress!

Woman in Old Master painting asking herself, “Why haven’t my clothes fallen off? Aren’t they supposed to fall off? Am I doing something wrong?”

Now why did I want to blend in with my background?

At well over 120 years old, it would appear Ms Bialik has found her own “Lost Horizon”.

Lady Gaga trying to decide if this is an appropriate costume for her appearance at the Inauguration. Ultimately, she decided on something more subdued.

“My sister thinks she can borrow my clothes whenever she wants! I’ll show her! It’s CURTAINS for her!”

Thanks to the miracle of petrochemicals, we now have this new thing called cellophane. The possibilities are endless. Ishmael, can you do one about cellophane?

The greatest painter of the human body of all time!

Model for the companion piece to Rodin’s “Thinker”: “Blank Mind”.

OK, punk, think about it. Was it 5 thunderbolts or 6? I’ve lost count myself. Go ahead, make my day. (with apologies to Dirty Harry)

If this is a suppository in my hand… what the hell have I done with my hearing aid??? :>)

“Now…what did I come in this room for?”

I fell in love with this divine creature in my pre-teen years when I saw her hanging half-way up the staircase in the Rochester, NY, Memorial Art Gallery. She still hangs out there, but they moved her into one of the rooms when they changed the main entrance.

Excuse me? I’m hoping you can help me?

It seems that the superglue works as good as advertised …
