Insert weasel (a) into IQ test (b)
We’ve only got one set of next-door neighbors. The neighbors on the other three sides are sheep. Our one set of people neighbors has asked us over several times, during the course of which we managed to drink all their premium booze and eat up all their delicious crispy salted snacks.
We have yet to reciprocate, on account of our Badger House is — to put it delicately — a shit-hole. Not entirely our fault; I was so determined not to waste a penny on a storage unit, I filled this house from floor to ceiling with packing boxes. We live among these majestic corrugated monoliths like a nomadic tribe, making warm temporary nests from throw pillows and blankets, trailing books and teacups and computer cables. Total shit-hole.
But then it hit us — garden furniture on sale! Our garden, at least, is lovely. We picked up a table and four chairs at a distinctly off-season price yesterday. While Uncle B enjoyed a doze today, I decided to assemble our new table.
So…whaddya fink?

Insert post “A” into socket”B”; pull up with even pressure while rotating counterclockwise until connection is firmly seated.
Remember not to breathe while performing operation.

Mcgoo, Stoatie is in Limeyville, so that would be the Harrier GR9.

Damn. I knew I’d get into trouble referencing a UK aircraft.

My first Subaru owner’s manual said poor performance could be caused by “unrighteous gasoline.” Sic, totally. I’m thinking maybe you used an unrighteous hammer when assembling your table.
You could balance a plate of delectable British food on the intersection of the edge and the cross brace of your table. Everyone will have to hunker down a bit, but hey.

Kinda looks like a poorly designed easel. Might have something to do with the Art School background. Just sayin.

Duct tape can fix anything.
