This 'n that 'n bric 'n brac 'n things
The title of this post is a borrowed line shouted by the incomparable Jennifer Saunders as her character Edina Monsoon in the funniest sit-com ever, Absolutely Fabulous. Ab Fab has its own channel on YouTube if you'd like a refresher on all things Patsy and Edina.
Anyhow, in my meanderings through the Internet each day, I stumble upon all sorts of matters that I think are funny or exciting. Most of them don't have anything to do with my area of interest and those that do would not make good posts for some thing reason.
So allow me empty out my bookmarks on this quality Sunday morning. Here goes.
OK, this video swept across the wide expanse of the web last week and on the off chance that you missed it, the is the wedding video that has everybody talking.

At the beginning of summer season, the first-rate City of New York opened a brand new park and with it got here a whole new definition of what a park is.
The High Line was a freight railway that ran on an elevated bed from the Meatpacking District to Hell's Kitchen on the West Side. It was built in the early 1900s and was officially de-activated in the 1980s. It was never torn down and was allowed to turn into an elevated grassland that was blocked off from the rest of the city. Fast forward about 20 years and it's now been cleaned up, replanted and turned into the world's first elevated, linear park. The High Line park has its own website and it tells the history and future of this great new resource for the people of New York. It's also one more thing to love about the de facto capital of the world.

Gary: Landlord of the Flies , is a blog written by a man named Gabe. Gabe is embroiled in a security deposit dispute with his landlord Gary. Gary's not the brightest of men, but he is one profane, racist homophobe. Because Gary has proved himself to be beyond reason, Gabe started a blog to document the carryings-on of his landlord Gary.
Gabe's posts must be read to be believed. His weblog is full of obscenity encumbered voicemails and all other manner of ridiculousness exhibited through Gary. Read it and be glad about your residing preparations.

The girls on the Mogg Blog are in which I flip after I want a layout-associated chuckle. To wit:
Only the Mogg Blogg... And thank God for them.

Florida has an added iguana hassle to go with its introduced python trouble and its brought water reveal problem. Not to mention its on foot catfish trouble, Brazilian Pepper trouble or another hassle out of the hundreds of troubles as a result of the wanton importation and launch of non-local, invasive species.
Something else Florida has in great supply is men and women who are quick to exploit an opportunity to make a buck. Floridians' resourcefulness and general willingness to discard what's expected is one of the many reasons I love living here. Along those lines, a quick thinker in nearby Sarasota has stumbled upon what could be a goldmine. With it comes a bad pun I'm powerless not to use. I'm calling this video from the St. Petersburg Times , "Iguana eat an iguana."

Finally, the Paint Quality Institute has an enormous amount of information on it on topics that range from the essentials of color theory to what are the hot paint colors right now. It is well worth reading and smart people will bookmark it for later reference.
