Good morning, you languorous lattes of levity. I am Roamy, your temporary hostess filling in for Sobek. I have no qualifications other than I have keys to the blog and I had a music theory class 40-something years ago.
This poat was inspired by the discussion last week of “Camptown Races” and Foghorn Leghorn. We’re going to look at cartoons and how they sneaked a little classical education to us every Saturday morning.

Good morning, and welcome to today’s edition of Hunky Hump Day.
Gettin’ real pissed at all the Braves games being blocked here, but Mr. RFH can watch Yankees games. DIL’s mom suggested we log in on each other’s accounts so she can watch the Cardinals.

Now for the hunks.

I got like 3 hours’ sleep, so this will be even more abbreviated than usual so I can go back to bed.

Must be planning to use the bench for box squats.

Sun-Day Fun-Day

Gooooood Morning, Hostages!

This is a placeholder, feel free to stompenado as you wish. We are going to have a fun Sunday starting in a few hours, so I won’t be around to feel the sting of rejection anyway.

A couple mornings ago, I was in that twilight between sleep and awake, and a common theme ran through my head again, about how English words frequently have multiple unrelated meanings. You may recall the Great Pylon Conversation of Hostages yore.

Here’s a picture of a bunny, for no reason.

The word in question at that moment, however, was ‘shortening.’ I wondered how it went from meaning to decrease the length of something, to a solid fat used in baking pastry.

Naturally, I forgot about this immediately after awakening, until a day later, when it struck me again and I was able to look into it.

Well, shortening is shortening, in the quite literal sense, or at least preventing lengthening of the gluten strands in a dough, thereby creating doughs that bake up to a tender crumb, like cakes and cookies, instead of being chewy and dense, like bread. So it is not an unrelated definition, at all, in this case. I always thought it was a weird name for fat, and I was right, it’s really not a name for fat. It’s a name for what the fat does. It’s kind of like calling your dad a motherfucker.

Anyway, enjoy the rest of your weekend, and don’t think about your parents doing it.

UPDATED: Don’t tell me this isn’t worse than Carin’s music. It’s horrible. Dear Lord.

 

 

I wasn’t going to add anything, but obviously Mare wants to hear some of my music – sure it didn’t SOUND like that, but I can read between the lines. Today’s them? SLEEP. Here is my current obsession – Sleep Token:

But there is another “sleep” band making metal waves right now – Sleep Theory. I’m meh about them right now, but people like ’em.

Which is better? Well … the answer is obvious. More Sleep Token. People compare this song to early Pearl Jam … I dunno.

Sleep Theory Here live (Sorta – it sounds pretty edited)…

Sleep Theory is basically a brand new band (radio wise) and I don’t believe they’ve even put out an album …

So there ya go. Just a small sampling of my horrible music. You’re welcome Mare.
