Subliminal curse, shaking me, shaking you

[sovay]

spatch, listening to me watch TV: "Lord grant me the confidence of the person who says 'But Lieutenant Columbo, how could I have POSSIBLY killed him when I've had this airtight alibi ALL ALONG.'"

(I made it through this afternoon's choral recording session, coughed a lot and ate dinner, and then collapsed on the couch. I consider it extremely unfair that after a week of hardly sleeping, I get to lose an hour out of the clock tonight. Have some links.)

1. Courtesy of a friend who is not on DW and of selkie whom I incautiously sent the first link to: nineteenth-century walking canes that are profoundly, impressively not safe for work.

2. Nick Cornwell on the creative partnership of his parents, one of whom was John le Carré.

3. I like this poem very much: Judith Willson, "The Human Voice from a Distance."

*zooms in on cane photo to maximum extent* Hmm, yes, I can tell that the clitoris is there, but it clearly was not the important part, in the sculptor's view.

But the detailing on the drawers!

Give me your pen
give me soot from your lantern
to write our passing into air.

Those canes! Wow! (Also, in a tribute to just how crazy dyslexia can get, I insisted on reading "not safe for work" as "not for sale"--through several sets of link-clicking and returning to your entry.)

I mean, I do think they're in museums.

Wow, those still exist! *blinks*

I used my stick all day today and it resolutely insists on not looking like those. Am I disappointed or is this a vaccine side-effect?

See if it persists when your body's reconstituted from the puddle of mush.

Ah, the Victorians. :D

Ah, the Victorians.

A class act!

Those canes are too funny.

(I also looked at the dresses and shoes she posted. Some were really pretty! My wife pointed out that many had crazy thin waists.)

I recently saw cookies in a grocery store that might not be safe for work. Try googling for images for: water droplets egg roll

The best thing about that description is I genuinely can't tell which way the inappropriacy is going to go.
