does anyone remember the old "i found it" movement of about 35 years ago? lots of nitwits had "i found it" bumper stickers etc. by "it", they meant jesus or some other gimcrack religion. well, i found something better than religion a few days ago.
several months ago a small hand spade that we used to pick up ruby's easter eggs and do a little gardening with went missing and i was the prime suspect for having lost it. i probably did lose it so i didn't protest too much when the blame was placed squarely on my shoulders. it order to escape the wrath of the missus i went out and bought a replacement. not a dollar store plastic model but a good sturdy metal model. was i thanked for purchasing the replacement? fuck no, i was ordered to leave the tag attached to the handle so it would be more difficult to lose.:
beauty eh!
a few days ago i decided to trim some laurel hedges that were dropping some sort of berries onto the driveway. whilst trimming the offending bush i noticed something spooky in the undergrowth. my first urge was to go get a good stick and kill it but i got brave and took a closer look and jesus fuck me christ, there was the hand spade that had been lost:
it must be over 20 years old and it's still in great shape. notice the sleek pointed shape for easy digging and the nice deep groove for holding ruby's easter eggs. yes, life is good in my world.
maybe i'll take the tag off the new spade and attach it to old faithful.
i love you sons of bitches.

I loved the Cat Powers video. She's something.
I bought myself a pair of nice Fiskar trimmers last year. For the life of me, I cannot find them. I know that as soon as I get a replacement that they will pop up.
Give that Miss Ruby a good pat for me.
Several months ago you lived somewhere else, in case you don't remember, you moved to another home. Stop making shit up.
Did you go back to your old home to do some yard work?
Nice. Justice has prevailed once again, BP. Glad all is right in the world. Well at least it's all right in Ruby's Easter egg land. Have a good one BP.
Good brand, those fuckers are indestructible!
Bought three of their can openers because of it.
silly - ruby thanks you for your support. sonny gave some fiskar trimmers for fathers day and i haven't lost them yet.
bill - you're a fucking idiot. a senile old fucking idiot. i moved over 6 months ago.
mr shife - as they say, you never find what you're looking for until you stop looking for it.
That's pretty cool, you never would have found it if you hadn't bought a new one. (At least that's the way my world seems to work.)
I feel a grave disturbance in the force.
It looks a bit rusty, but that's to be expected after being left to fend for itself in the great outdoors. How about giving it a bath in dilute sulphuric acid?
galt - you must have a lot of cans. preparing for the apocalypse?
tex - the cigarette smoking man may have planted it in the undergrowth. i can never figure out if he's helping me or throwing road blocks at me.
thims - HFT and dark pools.
gb - if i was still in high school i could take it to shop class and sand blast it.
I may well be a senile old idiot, or you may be a bad communicator that thinks I'm supposed to give a shit about your shit picker. :-)
so you don't give a shit that i don't give a shit that you don't give a shit that i don't give a shit......
Pretty much, I had a date and lunch with the lovely Laurel Ann today so I pretty much don't give a shit about anything else.
Leslie would make fun of her for wearing socks with sandals but Leslie wouldn't make a pimple on her ass. :-)
Not looking for anything in particulate at this moment.
But when I went though the shed/barn I found items that I don't even recall having.
Coffee is on
Surely this is a site well worth seeing.
Yes, indeed. We are regaled with tales of rusty pooper-scoopers...
I come here to gather material for my children's bedtime stories.
I have some rusty things they may be interested in hearing about.
