Bobservations

The other night I was cleaning up after dinner and I saw something on the countertop and I politely said to Carlos:

“What in the holy hell is this Jed Clampett, petrified wood  contraption doing on my counter?”

“I was hoping you’d see it.”

“See it, it confirms that we are officially white trash.”

The ‘it’ in question was a whisk that Carlos thought needed a bigger handle so he went into the yard and cut a branch off a tree and turned that into a handle. He then, apparently, used the whisk to stir the Special Roadkill Stew he’d prepared for dinner.

It’s not really much of a struggle for Tuxedo, but he is doing his part and being very patrioti-cat.

It’s kind of shocking that Florida can build a Concentration Camp in the Everglades in four days but can’t help its own citizens in an actual hurricane.

There’s a reason why the “Big Beautiful Bill’s” Medicaid cuts don’t hit until 2027. The GOP planned to blow it up after the Midterms to blame the Democrats whom they are afraid will be taking over Congress.

Don’t forget the truth.

Sometimes, just walking through a meadow in the middle of nowhere you can spot some cakes in the wild.

The other morning after breakfast I was in the bedroom changing into a pair of Causal-Lay-About-The-House-Because-It’s-Sunday-and-I-Want-To-Read shorts … specifically the black ones. I said to Carlos:

“Have you seen my black shorts?”

“I haven’t seen any black shorts in about three years.”

I guffawed.

“Blind humor is funny. But I can’t find my black shorts.”

“Are they in the laund-“

“No.”

“Are they in the hamp-“

“No.”

“Are they in another drawe-“

“No.”

“Are you wearing them already.”

Silence.

“And they call me the blind one.”

Last week y’all weighed in on The Great Kitchen Island Debate going on at Casa Bob y Carlos where Carlos didn’t want his sheet pans stored on the other side of the island from where there are now because he didn’t want to have to walk the 24 inches …

This week I spoke with the cabinet maker and they have faux door panels so we can move the door to Sheet Pan Central to where it’s always been and leave everything else as designed with faux door panels making it all look seamless.

Happy now?

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has sent a group of firefighters and rescue personnel to help search for flood victims in Texas. After all the hate from this regime. After all the racism toward brown people from this regime. After all the anti-immigration policies aimed at brown people. She helped. She did the right thing … for a Red state that would never do the same for her.

That’s leadership and power; that’s a woman.

Julian Morris is a 42-year-old British actor who is married to fellow actor Landon Ross and likes taking off his clothes; but enough about that, Would You Hit It?

  1. I actually find that new whisk handle rather ingenious. The fact that the Big, Beautiful Bill is set to blow up after the midterms shows you how confident the Republicans are of losing them.

  2. Mexico responds in a neighbourly fashion when the US is struck by tragedy, unlike Net A Yahoo who creates a crisis in Gaza and then offers to build a concentration camp for all those not murdered by the IDF.

  4. The Blackshorts were followers of fascism in past times. They had them in Italy, in Nazi Germany and even here in Merry Olde England. May I suggest that you wear red shorts instead Bob as you are a left-leaning liberal. It is rumoured that the current president of the USA wears black shorts when he is chilling out in Trump Tower or at Mar-a-Lago before another long night of furious tweeting on Truth Social (i.e. Lies Social).

  6. Now, come on, that was pretty ingenious of Carlos to repair that whisk. Better than him trying to drive to the store for a new one, right? 😉😉 (See, my sight isn't as bad as his, but it's getting there. So, I get ya, Carlos, I get ya!).

    💰 How come you moneybags wasted money on a whisk way back when anyway? Couldn't you Jeds just head out to the back 40, or maybe the barn, and grab the small pitchfork when ya need to scramble some eggs? 🤪😘
    ✊️ Kudos to Carlos for winning the sheet pan wars! 🫡
    😻 As always, Tuxedo Rocks!! 🤘

  9. Oh, Carlos is gonna win, babes.
    And OF COURSE the Big Ugly Bill is gonna show its ass in 2027. That way, the rubes will have time to justify it (but the pain will be intense, nonetheless).
    As for Julian, yes. And twice over the weekend.

    XOXO

  11. I thought that handle was a small block of moldy cheese. They're going to check me for glaucoma next week. I've always used a fork instead of a whisk.
    I like all of the cakes featured today.

  12. Oh my god! SG asked me yesterday if I was washing his blue shirt. He couldn’t find it. “Look in the mirror,” I said. Excellent cake trolling! Julian Morris does naked well.

  13. I think Carlos's whisk is quite innovative, and even has a certain primitive appeal. Some people might pay big money for that! LOL

    So many cakes, so little time.
