Why ruin a perfect record?

I had today off. It rained heavily. I have done exactly jack and shit today. It was glorious. I’m not about to ruin it with an effort post.

So I give you a riddle. The picture is of a plaster caste of a plaice that I posted about ten years or so ago. Can you tell what makes it unique among front page photos on my blog?

Answer in the comments.

I’m glad you had a day off. I don’t remember the fish. Is it a fish & chips kind of fish? Is it the only “fish” to adorn the blog?

I spent the morning helping to teach about 350 grade schoolers the Preamble to the Constitution (for the second day). It’s Constitution Week! And this afternoon I attended a Naturalization ceremony at the court house, and handed out DAR pamphlets on U.S. flag protocol and etiquette to the 32 new citizens. My DAR chapter has done this since the 1930s.

Well done, Surly.

Yes. Because it’s a white object, I didn’t notice that I hadn’t converted it to grayscale until much later. If you look at the upper lip of the fish, you’ll see a reddish-brown patch of schmutz.

It’s the only time a color picture has appeared at the head of a post.

Yay! I’ll take “Weasel Blogs” for $1000.

I had a pet halibut, named Eric.
Chose him out of thousands.
Didn’t like the others, they were all too flat.

😋

Oh Thankyou Deborah!, would you like to go to Washington now and explain that document to the asshats currently running the country into Bananarepublica?

Not so unique anymore – now there are TWO posts with color photos.

That’s a good point, Tim. Like engineers always pointed out to me, when you print “this page intentionally left blank” on a page, it’s no longer blank, is it?

Deborah & Durned:
I think it’d be good to require nominees to the Judiciary be required, during their hearings, to recite from memory, the Preamble to the Constitution. Also maybe quiz them on the Bill of Rights.

“…recite from memory, the Preamble to the Constitution.”

I can still do it, but only in song. Schoolhouse Rock rules!

If sweasy radio had sound I’d sing it for everyone.

And here I thought schoolhouse rock was just silly. I was WRONG.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
