Had to look that up - a quaint if inexplicable expression.
I, myself use "As devoid of thermal excitation as the dextro-mammary of a female necromancer" which is a polite way of saying "Cold as a witch's tit" that I composed in the middle 1980's.

It is not unheard of to have snow in April/May here in Upstate New York. Snow happens. 
|
|

|

Yes, but where I live it is almost unheard of these days. And even in the depths of winter we get very little, compared to when I was growing up in the 1950s and 60s.

Oh gawd yeah - I remember snow deeper than I was tall back in 62-63.
That one was exceptional, but winters are wetter than they were, and so are summers. I remember summer holidays when it was hot and sunny all day, every day.

I hear you. Perhaps this is an isolated weather pattern, or perhaps, the weather is beginning a slight reversal? Who knows.
Been sunny and warm here all last week and now rainy all this week. I hope we don't get any snow before summer.

Global warming. Better get used to it.
Remember being told that the only way kids in the UK will ever see snow again is in a snow globe?

Saturday was in the upper 70s and sunny. There's a chance of snow every night this week. Welcome to what those of us on the Colorado Front Range (I-25 corridor) get to experience every April.

Oh yes, I know about Colorado weather. I used to work for StorageTek (now Oracle) based in Louisville, and visited many times in all four seasons. Whatever the weather, Colorado remains one of my favourite places in the world (and second only to Washington state in the USA).

In this case it's the hound of the Baskarovs.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Always with my mind in the gutter, but it seems to me more likely the dog wanted to h*mp her leg in exchange for the mike - (one of the things I dislike about dogs - fortunately, not as a victim, but witnessing said afront). The interview? Probably just "bedroom" talk.

I've noticed a few websites here and there that are not working (various excuses are given), but methinks that something happened in the internet hosting business world that caught website managers by surprise - something akin to the way that Photobucket blew up the internet a few years ago by starting to charge everyone a ransom for its use.

Microsoft removed Flash Player from all supported versions of Windows. Adobe dropped support at the end of December. I wonder how many web-sites are still using Flash.

K 5 Smart Control[^]
It's a Bluetooth pressure washer.
Yes, that's right - it's a pressure washer you control from your phone.
I'll let that sink in, shall I?
And they think this is a USP: I'm hoping the first word is the applicable one.
1) It's a pressure washer. It's designed to push water out at high pressure so it gets into everything.
2) It's only of any use when you are holding it.
So, the thing it's most likely to get very, very wet is the most expensive toy you own, and that isn't likely to be high pressure friendly, or indeed waterproof ...
Who comes up with these plans? Apple?
