Hot pants (shorts with a bib and braces) were very fashionable about 40 years ago, a fact which makes me feel very old.

Several local banks were robbed by someone dubbed "the pantyhose bandit" who would cover his face with pantyhose, approach a teller and, insisting he had a gun, would demand cash, then sprint off, presumably to a waiting car and on to the nearest crack house.
Finally, at the last branch he robbed, a teller noticed him opening the glass door with his bare hands and explained that to the police who obtained a good set of prints, and quickly picked him up at his home.
No idea where he obtained the pantyhose, but...

Thin Mints are the best-selling flavor of Girl Scout Cookies, accounting for 25% of their sales. I can attest to this after being local Cookie Mom for three years. I can also attest to the fact that Thin Mint Cookies freeze very well.

There's a gallery around here called The Fridge that does graffiti art shows on a pretty regular basis, with their own walls serving as exhibition space. It's kinda cool having ever-changing art on both the inside and outside of the building, although it can be a bit confusing when the gallery looks entirely different than the last time you saw it. It also causes problems when the people teaching their weekend art classes who also exhibit there get arrested due to their taking part in a group exhibition at the previously unknown Railroad Overpass Gallery.

Yesterday, I got some dental floss stuck in a molar; after trying to get it out with more dental floss, I had no luck. So I used vicegrip pliers, tugged on it, and out it came.
I am so glad that I kept most of my handtools when we moved into our condo!

People often wonder how the Roman army was able to burn down the Third Temple in Jeuusalem, built by King Herod, since the building was made of massive stone building blocks. The answer is through the use of olive oil; they placed huge jars of olive oil inside, set them alight, and it was then a matter of time until the heat caused the water inside the stones to expand, shattering the stones and bringing down the walls.

Remember a book called The Weirdstone of Brisingamen? A favourite of mine when I was a teenager. There was a sequel later. And now the author, Alan Garner, has written a third book in the series. I heard him speak at the Cheltenham festival; he held the audience spell-bound.

I remember having a shot of Tactical Nuclear Penguin with a side of Scotch egg and smoked salmon once; tasted about like an overoaked Trappist ale that the good friars had forgotten to lager. More alcohol than taste, if you ask me!

No doubt there is far less ale, beer, pizza, chicken wings, and overly-salted snacks being sold in sports bars surrounding NHL arenas this fall, due to the lockout of players by the National Hockey League. Not just the players, but wait staff dependent on tips are hurting, I should think.

After cleverly timing emptying my rain water tank and doing the plumbing work just before a storm that refilled it, a few days later I accidentally left the tap on and all the water drained out again.

I had a tank top on today, since I'm doing all the prep work for tomorrow's feast. It's only 65 degrees out, so layered a fleece over top. Washing the car should warm me up!

Maybe an idea for a Circus poll could be questions such as:
1. What person would you most like to see washing a car while wearing a tanktop? (list of choices)
2. What person would you least like to see washing a car while wearing a tanktop? (list of choices)
3. Would thinking about that sort of activity make you more or less likely to eat a big Thanksgiving dinner?
Of course, we would have to make certain that names of Shipmates were not mentioned as choices in that poll!

The Three Monkeys was a great cafe/restaurant in West End, Brisbane for years. It's a shame that the area has now been redeveloped and it and its neighbour, The Fat Cat, have now gone.
