Ramblings and webcomics from LeEMS
So, we have this 1.3-2 gallon jug that we re-used, from crappy orange juice finished long ago, to water plants with when we’re not on the side of the house that has the watering can. The problem with using a watering jug instead of a can with a spout is the uncontrolled and harsh stream of water that can upset soil, especially around new plantings. My solution? look for a do-hickey that puts a spout on the jug — why buy another watering can?
Finding such a do-hickey was both harder and easier than expected. And it led me to an amazing site I should have known would be there already: Shapeways — a site to buy and sell 3-D printed fabulousness. Here is some fabulousness:
Featured examples:Solar System Models, Steampunk Cup and Saucer, Bosch Bird, Jackalope Skeleton, 3D Printed Right Hand, Cityscape Rings, Sprout bottle spout, Hyperspace Button.

Richard of Doomed Moviethon and I had an 80s teen movie marathon. He will write a wonderful article on the experience. This is my notes. (OFF stands for overly fashionable friend/family member/etc)
When Thanksgiving was Weird on NPR calls out how, at the turn of the last century, Thanksgiving celebrations were incredibly different than they are today.
“His mother’s loll, the lollpoop, lolloped.”
Let’s dissect:
LOLL: Mother’s loll; a favourite child, the mother’s darling,
LOLLPOOP: A lazy, idle drone…
TO LOLLOP: To lean with one’s elbows on a table.
-all from the 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose

I have always had a great fondness for things that looked like books but weren’t books. In fact, I have a fondness for things that look like things they are not overall. I am remembering beautiful porcelain bowls that looked like lettuce leaves and porcelain cups that looked like solo cups…that’s another post. This one is all about the books. Amazingly, I only have one of these.
