What's on Rich's Phone?

It's time for the Thursday Photo Funnies. 

I know it's Wednesday but as many readers know I got lazy and cut my posting down to three days a week. And I just like the way Thursday Photo Funnies rolls off the tongue. In my twisted mind, it's incrementally funnier. In the same way Cucumber is slightly funnier than Carrot. And exponentially funnier than Carrot Top.

But then, what isn't?

The photo above was snapped on a recent run to Costco with Ms. Muse. We love our trips to Costco, traffic, parking and the non-stop violation of our personal space by other bargain hunters who are perhaps not familiar with the oversized shopping cart etiquette, notwithstanding. 

I noticed this man on the box of depends, displayed prominently at the aisle cap and pondered the excitement this ambitious model/actor/entertainer must have experienced when his agent texted him, "You got the gig!" 

Only to discover at a later point time that he had inadvertently become the face of 100% Leak-Free, Breathable Protection for Male Incontinence. I probably shouldn't make jokes about that. As of this writing my bladder is in fine working condition, but at my age that could change any day. Or minute.

Let's get to the pictures I found on my phone.

I have a thing about signs. Particularly overly didactic signs that

serve to indicate the stupidity that has infected this nation.

That raging stupidity is mostly attributable to this assclown.

Speaking of assclowns, every time I go to the supermarket,

I push this coffee from NeoFascist Black Rifle 

to the back of the shelf where it can't be seen. Or purchased.

Here are some more signs that appeal to my dark sense of humor.

Here's another that makes my blood boil. 

You can take issue with the Israeli response to 

Hamas and the attacks of 10/7, as I do,

but you don't get to vent your ugly antisemitism.

Other than my expensive diploma, this old timey beer mug is

the only thing of value I have from Syracuse University.

It's almost 50 years old. And I'm happy to say it still works.

Finally there's this shot, 

taken from the new CV Link Bike Path in Palm Springs.

I didn't adjust the saturation, the contrast, the black point, 

the shadows or the vignetting. I didn't have to.
