Funny Friday Photos And A Short Trip Down Memory Lane

Crazy weather we're all having, isn't it? The strange thing for us is that it's actually kind of nice where I live. Usually, in January and February we're having single digits and sub-zero temperatures. It's been in the high 30's/low 40's (F) this week!

We had a three way tie for last week's funniest photo, so I'm not posting a picture this week. If you haven't seen the post yet, here is the link.

And here's this week's photos! 

Such cute little faces!

I thought it was cute. 

Duck dog!

I have four dogs. I feel for the cat.

Busted!

And the pun!

You know what's been making me happy lately? It's the song Sugar, Sugar by the Archies. Bubblegum pop from the late 1960's has been putting a smile on my face. I think part of the reason is because it reminds me of my sister. She got me into Motown (Sam Cooke and The Temptations were some favorites) and some of the Bubblegum pop (The Monkees, Herman's Hermits.) I think she would have loved the video I share below. Ron Dante (the singer and voice of Archie) is just adorable.

When we were in high school, we went to the 33rd Anniversary of Rock and Roll (which at that time meant music from the 50's, 60's and 70's), and got to see Herman's Hermits, Three Dog Night, and many other old rock groups. I even got to dance with a Coaster - he pulled me out of the audience like a Bruce Springsteen video. Definitely one of the high points of my life! So, lots of happy memories to go along with a happy song.





I love the lines "I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you," and "Like the  summer sunshine, pour your sweetness over me." It makes my romantic little heart go pitter-pat, even still. Such beautiful wording.

Okay, back to the photos. My favorite is the pot holder dog. The others I kind of chuckled at, but the pot holder dog made me laugh...hard!

Have an excellent weekend!

New Release: Roland Yeamons' Death in the House of Life

I have totally messed up my editorial calendar. It's all okay, though, because my mess gives me the opportunity to share with you the new release from Roland Yeamons! This man has the most amazing outlook on life, and is one of the more creative people I know. He also has some of the coolest covers I've seen!

So, let me present to you Roland's new book, Death in the House of Life!

Before Indiana Jones ...

   Before Allan Quartermain ...

      There was ...

Samuel McCord

Join the cursed Texican as

   He clashes with the last survivor of an extinct species in the Missouri of 1848.

   He communes with the Spirit of the Earth in the Hawaii of 1866.

   He is betrayed into the hands of the British government in 1895 Cairo.

Thrill to his escapes from ancient death traps in the ruins of the lost city of Tanis.

Match wits with him  

   As he duels grey aliens and seeks to decipher the mysteries left behind by the aliens who were the basis for the gods of Ancient Egypt.

   As he seeks to save the world and his marriage from the monster that is the eternal beauty, Meilori Shinseen …

     The Empress of a race from beyond the stars

    … and his wife.

DOC SAVAGE had no wilder crew to back him up than does Samuel McCord –

Mark Twain … Oscar Wilde … 

The genius Nikola Tesla  …

The undead Ada Byron, creator of the first computer language in the 1840’s.

And the incomparable She Who Devours, the model for the Sphinx …

Empress Meilori Shinseen … McCord’s beloved wife. And potential Destroyer of our world.

You can purchase Death in the House of Life on Amazon. Here's the link, so you don't have to go searching! Roland has several series available, so if you don't think this is the book for you, I'd recommend checking out his other titles, all found on Amazon.

Funny Friday Photos

How did everyone's transition to the New Year go? I used 2014 correctly today. Considering I marked that I was single instead of married on the same paperwork, I figure it was a small victory I got the date right.

I've been doing some of the rewrites for Adven 2 and have started working on a title. I've also been researching fairies and it's been so much fun! I have to share a photo that matched the image in my head of the Fairy King in the book. 

Green eyes and everything. His name's Edlark. I'm trying to decide if he'll have mini-horns. Mini-horns could be sexy, right? I've seen pictures of Pan where he looks pretty good with mini-horns (what do you call them, anyway?) 

F. Mancini, Lotta fra Amore e Pan, Musei Vaticani

See, Pan looks kinda cute... Actually, he looks kind of like Wolverine of the X-Men. Who is sexy. So, mini-horns are sexy. Right?

Anyway, I was so excited to stumble on the picture of Edlark on Pinterest. The artist, C. Gerhardt, of Mystic Moon Media, has amazing fantasy artwork, so after you get done looking at funny photos, you might head over there and get a fantasy fix. And she gave me permission to share, but please note that reproductions are prohibited.

All right! Last week's winner for funniest photo was:

Here's the new ones:

I did, too, before I read the words. There is a face with a mustache in the design, though.

Reminds me of the scene in Labyrinth where Ludo puts the door-knocker in his mouth.

I now know I'm not young anymore because I had to look up the meaning of "totes magotes" after seeing the Sprint commercial with James Earl Jones and Malcolm McDowell.

I already shared this somewhere else, but it looks like a baby Ent!! I had to share again.

Freaky, then funny!

The poor thing!

And the pun!

Well, have a great weekend! I don't really have a favorite this week. I like the freaky arm and the poor dog, but then also the moist owlet.
