Hermits,Ass' and chubby pandas.
This mornings' tomato pickings
January 15...
Feast Day of St.Paul the hermit - he lived in a cave and was supplied with food and clothing from a palm tree for 21 years.After that a raven fed him for the next 47 years.When he died 2 lions dug his grave.(Who knew palm tree fibre was sooo good for you ? I'm betting that's the first and last time a raven dropped anything useful onto a human).
Feast Day of The Ass in Ancient Rome ....awww they were celebrating our politicians before they were even born.
Happy Birthday
1842 Paul Lafargue,Karl Marx' son-in-law and author of "The Right to Be Lazy",which argues that laziness is an important source of human progress( I demand a public holiday in his honour immediately !!)

1797 The first top hat worn in London. Haberdasher James Hetherington was fined £50 for wearing it and causing a breach of the peace, it being found that he "appeared on the public highway wearing a tall structure of shining lustre and calculated to disturb timid people". (run for the hills it's a HAT !)
1846 Fourteen-year-old Angélique Cottin, of La Perriere, France, first experienced a strange phenomenon that lasted ten weeks. When she approached objects they retreated from her, and furniture jumped away from her at the slightest touch of her hand or her clothing. (it only stopped when the dirty wench finally bathed)
1933 After nearly a century of cooperative living, the utopian Amana colonists of Iowa, USA, began using US currency for the first time. Barter within the community had helped them avoid using American currency.(Utopia,bartered for a green back)

Simon says...obey your satnav system implicitly and drive onto railway tracks(wonder if all the sheep are as obedient as him?)
Pandas on low-carb sex diet.... is this Anna Nicole Smith's diet secret revealed?

Premeditated, no less. The cad.
I gotta get me one of them there top hats before the U.S. government outlaws them in order to keep us all safe and healthy.
I don't know about St Paul the Hermit but I know some people who smell as though they've lived that way. Maybe the lions couldn't stand the smell either.
That "ass" feast seems a bit too rich for my tastes. Those tomatoes look delicious.
Are they trialling pandas before humans? And why am I thinking tomato salad with extra virgin olive oil and rock salt and basil leaves....
Joe - he used his hat powers for evil.
Steve - careful I think they've embargoed all imports on them nasty hats.
TG-the lions were probably burying the evidence.
Grunt-only Asses like politicians can attend and thank you they are delicious.
CB-the pandas don't bite and snarl like dieting humans .
