Monday: Hili dialogue

February 15, 2016 • 6:30 am

I have landed but am having problems with jet lag, and so slept only a few hours last night. Besides being exhausted, I’m filming segment this morning with a group making a movie about Bill Nye. I told them I don’t know much about him, but they want to talk anyway. I will NOT be in good nick, and must absorb as much caffeine as possible. In fact, all I’m capable of is showing this picture of Cyrus and Hili engaging in behavior that is not right!

Cyrus: Shall we dance?
Hili: Yes, preferably a hora.

In Polish:
Cyrus: Zatańczymy?
Hili: Tak, najlepiej horę.
Oh, and as a belated Valentine’s present, here’s a tw**t forwarded by Matthew Cobb that he swears is not photoshopped. What a lovely way to send love to your partner!

Oh, one more photo. Reader Joe McClain sends a squirrel with a tortilla, and its story:
Thought you might enjoy this photo of a squirrel on my patio. My grandkids were visiting and a tradition is for me to prepare breakfast “Pappy Eggie Roll-Ups” for the girls. (One of them can’t eat eggs.) I had a leftover tortilla and tossed it onto the patio. Some time later, my wife called us to see Mr. Peanut up in the dogwood tree nomming on the tortilla.
It looks like he was swiveling it around in his paws, gnawing on the edge. We call any squirrel “Mr. Peanut” as the grandkids like to put out peanuts for the numerous tree-rodents. This one temporarily has been dubbed “Señor Tortilla.” We have a wall. Didn’t keep the squirrel out of the patio. Mexico didn’t pay for it. And the squirrel’s ancestors were here before we were.

  1. Poor professor Ceiling Cat [Emeritus]! I am sure they can apply liberal layers of face paint should it be required! 😉

    And the talk did go down very well. Too little time for questions & some people just do not know how to ask a simple question… I did not get a chance to ask mine which was –
    Do people have a ‘right’ to be wrong in the face of contrary evidence?

    I don’t expect an answer, jus’ puttin’ it out there…

  2. What a sheep Valentine’s tweet!

    Dominic, they have a right to express an opinion.

    But I’m sure there should be limits like how you can’t provoke immediate violence et cetera. Dawkins’s limit goes at harm to others (children), which seems reasonable. So they shouldn’t be allowed to lie about facts.

  4. Come on PCC(E)!! You should at least watch bill nye the science guy on evolution and post your thoughts.

  5. when I need to, I will take a swallow of ‘5 Hour Energy’ (not the whole bottle). I must say it does the trick for me. I quickly wake up, and I am fully alert without undesirable side effects. ~ 5 hours later it wears off, and there is no crash.

  6. I can hear Trump already. With my wall those squirrels will not be getting in and stealing our Tortilla, killing our squirrels and taking our squirrel jobs. It will be huge.

    1. You missed the, “Believe me.” There’s never any plan how he’s going to do any of the things he promises, just multiple “believe me”s.

  8. I’m actually pretty impressed you managed to post anything this morning Jerry. Lesser men would have let Hili and Cyrus sleep in. 🙂

  9. I’ve fatigue. Welcome to the world where every utterance masquerades as some form of dementia.

  10. I don’t think photoshop is necessary for the sheep valentine. Just the low tech expedient of a sack of sheep food poured out onto the ground in a heart shape.

  11. Glad you had a successful trip and also glad you’re back, Jerry. 🙂

    Joe, I love the Sr. Tortilla story–and pic!
