11.15 On a Saturday Night

..well almost, it’s close enough to be serendipitous given the video currently playing on Rage.
Gin in hand, the thought occurred to me that this would be a good time to revive Petrapedia. So it turns out that I don’t come out with as much apparently authoritative bullshit as I thought I would, but I do still want to share my word of the week: cockamamie.
My good friends from the Cockamamie Quartette provide this illustrative piece of visual fiction. “The fourth member?”, I hear you ask? He is a dog. As far as I can tell. I really couldn’t be bothered reading the rest of their bio, conveniently contained within one of the three jpegs which comprise the site’s content. Given their complete lack of understanding of this whole ‘intertubes thing’, I’m almost tempted to forgive their typography choices, but not quite. I hereby raise the motion that this website be struck from TCP/IP history. But this is not about typography, this is about where I finish.
The Perfect Disguise

And I feel like a-loving you.
Pandy def. A mixed alcoholic beverage comprising a combination of any number of spirits, spritzers or fermented drinks. Traditionally prepared (‘mixed’) in an ad hoc fashion, whereby the composite ingredients are layered in a Schooner glass. This method allows for on-the-fly taste testing, to ensure a pallatable mix is achieved.
I like that top hat. Do you? Yes.

It is a commonly known fact that the donning of both top-hat and monocle invariably precludes one’s simultaneous smoking of a cigarette/pipe/cigar.
The exclusion of one/both of these accoutrements will negate the rule, as illustrated below.
Figure 1: As illustrated, the absence of monocle coincides with the absence of smoking apparatus.
I love you, sugar kane.

A Panda, instead of eating bamboo, will break off a bamboo stalk and eat from inside it the syrupy sugar-juice that mysteriously comes forth. While there has been no recorded observation of such dining behaviour, I’m still pretty sure it happens.
