Something we all can relate to.

We can make this a thread to post relevant cartoons, photo edits, memes and other assorted witticisms.

I can relate, I spent a lot of quality time at the arcade. "Pokemon Go" shows how much things changed, and I like the late Hunter Thompson's take on it:

As a youth I spent a lot of quality time reading Hunter S. Thompson. Ah, the memories... (what's left of them).

Yeah, me too. The Las Vegas book was fun, of course, but my favorite was always "Fear and loathing on the campaign trail '72". The madness was that much more effective when juxtaposed with calm, rational political analysis - and Hunter was good at that.

In the current madness I sometimes feel HST is the only one who could have put it into proper perspective.

The one HST book I burned through was "Hell's Angels" about his involvement with the notorious Motorcycle Club when they were a media hot topic in 1966.

He lived on Parnassus Ave in San Francisco at the time not far from Golden Gate Park.

He did hang out with them getting the book done, but earned a "stomping" for speaking his mind about one member's wife beating and that ended his association with them, but launched his career as a writer.

[OldBob1957]

Hells Angels, Las Vegas, and Campaign Trail '72 were the first three books of his I read. (If I remember correctly, that was just after reading Slaughterhouse Five by Vonnegut.) Anyway, that started me off on HST books as fast as I could get them.

@ D Fosse:

  I would LOVE to have been able to read Hunter's take on America's current president!

On the same theme as the picture above, not to say it has been cold here, but I think it killed a ghost.

This might look like a CGI composition, but yes it is real and  a night version on the one I posted way back when.

Google's pretty dangerous. I Googled how to become an arsonist once and it gave me thousands of matches.

[cvid01]

Aren't matches necessary for an arsonist. Also, by Googling such things you could be fighting with fire.

It was my turn to cook dinner so I asked my wife for a bit of peace and quiet while I was working in the kitchen.

She took the batteries out of the smoke alarm.

Thank you Leslie for sharing your original artwork with us.  It makes a nice change from the usual memes and cartoons most of us grab from websites and emails.

This one came to me today along with a story about neighbours who called 911 concerned about the baby left home alone crying all day, while its parents went to work.   This  is supposed to be what the cops found after they broke the door down.

Trevor, thanks for the kind words! And whoa! That parrot is pretty amazing. Reminds me of Rocco the African Grey parrot who was kicked out of an animal sanctuary in Britain for his foul language (taught to him by his previous owner), then adopted by a nice lady, and while she was out he spent the day playing his favorite music on Alexa and ordering things from Amazon including strawberries, ice cream, a kite, and a kettle haha!

Here is Rocco:

I have no words, Patricia...that's funny!

I have heard a few "fowl language" jokes, but I'll leave those out. Anyway it seems truth is stranger than fiction. In a sort of related way I knew a young lawyer who in his "free speech" days said whatever vulgarisms came to mind. He met a young woman who was an avid cyclist as he was and a Christian from what he told me. They had a child, and one day I noticed he stopped using his usual racy language and asked him what happened.

He said he stopped when his daughter learned to speak and would go over and greet his guests with a few "F-bombs"

This has got a short shelf life, so here goes:
