i see …. another hurricane?

I heard that NY islanders really know how to prepare meadowlark lemonade in a bottle but they can’t prepare thyme in a bottle.

Well, it’s a nice looking kitchen island, but it could be one o’them miragees!

But it’s a dessert island!

I see lemons, it must be a tropical kitchen island

Ouch, John. That was almost as bad as a Dan Thompson (Brevity) pun. But, it’s OK. Even you are entitled to some off days here and there.

… and there’s two seats open. I wonder if she was expecting them …

Howie Mandel?

…………and LOOK, Howie! She has running drinking water!

Dweeb found it!

ALL islands are female.

Because no man is an island.

No palm tree?

Ahh! I need a good Mai Tai!

I’m guessing that Howie is not the one who’s sleeping.

That’s not Howie usually wakes up.

D’oh!

Never mind, no beer.

Leave Bleeb alone! He is NOT a lemon!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

My sister’s island is huge, built-in oven with two separate temperature knobs to cook two entrees at once, plug in sockets on 3 sides, bar stools on the other side of the oven for snacking. The sink is on the opposite side next to the dishwasher. She does teach Italian cooking classes.

And I think she has tequila!

Swimupbar!

But no way to cook the potato soup.

On the plus side, I guess you can just throw the rinds/peels overboard. But don’t scoot your stool back too far, or you’ll add plenty of surf to your turf.

why is she chopping cucumber?

“And there’s a Bleeb! A Bleeb!”

“Nah, that’s just my wife.”

Uh-oh, it looks like it could sink…

Pity there are no grill, Maybe we could finally have that Cheeseburger in paradise

Hilarious and surreal!
