That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 19, 2015

The first IUD prototype.

I just don’t understand why I can never keep a job. I tell everyone right up front that I have to work without a G-string, and they always seem so eager to hire me…

How can I bridge the gap when there’s no bridge—-and no strings? Ohhhh…now I see it says “sold separately.”

Oh! shucks ! broke a string!

I think this has been fiddled with.

Designer wondering how she can create a Royal Wedding hat for Princess Beatrice out of this.

“Dang!,” She thought. “I’m never going to find a man who measures up.”

Failed inventions: Hard-boiled ostrich egg slicer.

Yeah, I don’t get any reception in the mountains, either.

Realizing just now that the ad said “make lute” and not “make loot.”.

I don’t see my reflection. Maybe I am a vampire, after all!

A somewhat enlarged image can be found at Mr. Melcher’s blog entry (yesterday). Again, it is a slightly cropped image. A full, click-to-enlarge image can be found here.Lady with Lyre by Pine Trees is, as far as I can tell, privately owned; but, I’m not at all sure about that.A rough copy, titled A Muse with a Lyre, by a follower of the artist, was auctioned (#7) last year. While it didn’t sell, it did in 2003, under the title Lady with Lyre.Since there are obvious differences (facial features, thumb on cheek, etc.) between the original and the copy, I think the follower was only trying to recreate the original (not copy it). That makes me unsure about the private ownership (follower had to see it someplace).The artist’s A Muse with a Lyre (same title as rough copy) painting is also from around that time (1890). Its auction-result page catalog note says 3 had that theme; perhaps this was one of them, with the title Muse with Lyre under Pine Tree (just a guess). The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page has more) and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).Third, of the 3 works, by this artist, that have, so far, appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog, to also appear here (3 total).

Meanwhile, I was still thinkin’……

It’s hard to sell coconut crackers outside the tropics.

The caption and all the comments today were hilarious! And thanks, as always, to mabrndt for his info, which makes it all even more interesting!

That’s the cover for bidet==from home depot.

@ Rad-ish we are of one mind

But the instructions said to slide tab A into slot B…
