Kicking the bucket isn’t much fun.
note: Death rides a pail horse! … that’s kind of silly.
double note: I guess I’m beyond the pail now!
triple note: “kicking the bucket” phrase origin is here. If you are short of time, it says: The wooden frame that was used to hang animals up by their feet for slaughter was called a bucket. Not unnaturally they were likely to struggle or to spasm after death and hence ‘kick the bucket’.
quadruple note: I’m off to the Matsumoto Craft Fair again! I’ll be back Sunday night … my time.

At the end of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, you actually see Paul Newman and Robert Redford die. (false)

Kicking buckets seems foolish, and why tempt fate?
Have fun at the festival. I’m quite certain you always have fun doing whatever you do.
…and maybe you can pick up another science project!
I couldn’t help but notice your inexcusable unkindness to dandelions in this picture. Well I’ll tell you right here and now – I like yellow flowers, and I don’t like to see them abused.
Oh, and another thing: I’ve ordered a copy of your book from Blurb. Do I get an award for my site?
What great info about kicking the bucket… reminds me of watching the butchering as a child. That’s just how they did it. Happy thoughts huh?
I can’t believe you managed to get this shot without falling on your butt.
I’m afraid I’m with Tooty on this one Ross. I really am opposed to this kind of cruelty to yellow flowers. Although I do lower my standards when I have to mow the lawn, but I make it as swift & painless as humanely possible
I’m pretty sure that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are off somewhere having drinks with Thelma and Louise.
Thanks for all the comments!
I should go away more often!
S. Le: I had a good time wandering around pretending to be all arty and cultured … and heavy walletish too!
- you forget about my ants! I’ll have to update those pages soon.
note: go to Craft Fairs more often … many Cougars in the vicinity. hee hee!
Tooty Nolan: thanks for buying my book. It’s readable, but I will be pushing the words closer to the center of the page over the next few days to make it as perfect as I can get it. I will send you a free copy of the new one if you would like … so you can give a copy to someone else.
I will have to think about an awardish thingy.
note: must slaughter my grass/dandelion farm tomorrow morning.
Donald Diddam: I’ve never seen an animal butchered. I’d like to … just to see how I feel about it. I don’t think it would put me off of meat though … it would take more than that for that to happen.
writerdood: I’m pretty good on one foot. I was going to do the self-timer route and have me really kick that bucket a ton (tonne), but I may need that bucket again for packing weeds and washing the van and stuff … so I just lightly nudged it over.
Tony: dandelions in my yard live a fruitful and long life … until I get motivated and cut them down with my mower.
Dennis the Vizsla: I can’t remember how Thelma and Louise ended … oh! … I didn’t watch the whole movie for some reason.
