Flat earth - - - flat bubble - - - flat pancakes.

When I was a boy my mom used to make Crepe's. She made them so thin they only had one side. Flip it over and it was gone forever.

That got me thinking ... a Möbius strip pancake would make for an interesting breakfast...

 

Does that mean that if you eat till full, then stand upon your head - you're hungry again?

 

Don't mess with Texas Mom.

What would you try to save?

These days I think the most important thing to save would be the toilet paper.

Citibank, which was acting as Revlon's loan agent, meant to send about $8 million in interest payments to the cosmetic company's lenders. Instead, Citibank accidentally wired almost 100 times that amount, including $175 million to a hedge fund. In all, Citi (C) accidentally sent $900 million to Revlon's lenders.

BOSTON (CBS) – A Beacon Hill barber is lucky to be alive after he accidentally stabbed himself in the chest with his own pair of shears. Steve Silva, 29, was cutting Max Cohen’s hair when he tripped and fell on top of the scissors.

“He was walking around the back of the chair and all of a sudden he’s on the floor. I look down and I see blood. He says ‘oh my God, I stabbed myself’ and pulls a set of scissors out of his chest,” Cohen said.

Portland police officers ‘guarding’ Fred Meyer dumpsters as residents seek discarded food

Roughly a dozen Portland police officers faced off with a small group at a Northeast Portland Fred Meyer on Tuesday after people tried to take food that had been thrown away.
Workers at the Hollywood West Fred Meyer threw away thousands of perishable items because the store, like many others, had lost power in an outage brought on by the region’s winter storm.
Images on social media showed mountains of packaged meat, cheese and juice, as well as whole turkeys and racks of ribs that had been tossed into two large dumpsters near the store.

Tim Boyd, previously mayor of Colorado City, Texas, caused a severe backlash when he wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday that: “No one owes you [or] your family anything.” He went on to say: "• • • people waiting in their homes to have their power restored were “lazy” and said that the “strong will survive and the weak will parish.”

PARISH? What? Are people now going to go to church, their local "Parish" for electricity, gas and water? What a Pube!

The guy was a fool for saying people were lazy it but the truth hurts with this line. “No one owes you [or] your family anything.”

True. But only when you don't pay for it. Your utility bills are there for a reason. The utility is supposed to support the infrastructure. So yes, they ARE owed power, gas and water. Taxes are for the government who is supposed to legislate the regulations for power companies. Texas opted for their own power grid to avoid government regulations. They experienced a cold snap some years ago which also crippled a lot of the infrastructure.

But I suppose the Mayor believes people should be out there restoring their own electricity, water and gas. Can't WAIT to see how that goes. How dare those people freeze to death. Lazy bums.

 

You would not believe the phone calls and face-to-face confrontations those guys go through. I had an Uncle who was a county commissioner in Tennessee. He gave it up because of all the idiots who thought he could immediately deliver, to their satisfaction, any whim of their desire. And didn't mind calling him to demand it at any time of the day or stopping him anywhere in town to do so either. There are lots of people out there with very insane expectations of what they are due. IE, can the Mayor unfreeze water lines from personal wells or inside their house, or fix downed power company lines?
