    Soward Himon Dob Bylan One time I returned something to a library 49 years after I checked it out.

    One time I weighed 931 pounds.

    May the Lord be with you.

    I hope Mr. Simon paid a hefty fine for that overdue record! I’ve been waiting 48 years to check out that record!!

    Mr. Simon must’ve been quite a fan of Dylan.

    Juuso’s growls translate to They keep putting paint on my paws. I try to wipe it off, but then they go and put more paint on them!

    Chances are that the librarian who took in the record had never seen an L P.

    Howard’s fine would build a nice new wing on the library, if it was still in operation.

    Corn holders have changed a little since then, but still perform their function in the same way. Corn has been through a lot of ‘doctoring’, ‘tweaking’, and ‘revision’, not all of it good. Looks the same but not the same.

    Jusso paintings are ‘natural’ and the color schemes are eye catching. But after seeing the video, I don’t know just how ‘original’ they are, in the sense that humans seem to be very involved in the production. Is the bear actually choosing the colors it supposedly prefers? No human intervention like shuffling the boards, etc? Still, the money goes for a good cause so that works.

    If that’s Dylan’s “Self Portrait” album, I think the library didn’t want it back. That is considered one of his worst and was done just to get out of his contract.

    Unlike San Francisco, Ohio takes its laws seriously; Howard is scheduled for execution 13 days from today.

    Maybe the bear and Hunter can have a two man show for a competition of sorts. I’ll take the bear.

    Helsinki sounds like its beneath Hell. Just go down Dante’s seven levels and you are there. Actually it’s a nice city. Good chocolates

    Corn cob holders, eh? It doesn’t get any more societally impactful than THAT…

    The corn cob stoppers remind me of my old Avon bottles from the 1970s.

    I once attempted to return an overdue book that got misplaced during a move then stored away. The library told me they’d already replaced it and didn’t want it back.

    Art is whatever you can get a way with. $500,000 for a statue of dog poop in San Jose, CA and $600,000 for a stack of metal balls in Edmonton, AB.

    I don’t know if could be brave enough to be in the same room with a Bear. Let alone a 930 lb Bear.

    I wonder how much Howard’s fine would be, for not returning the record on time?
