Zentangle | Dog Art | Skeleton Joke


This week's joke...

Why didn't the skeleton cross the road?

He had no guts!

***************

Zentangle

A few months ago, I took a class on Zentangle.

Wow! It changed my life...It changed my art.

Here are one of the new designs and artwork I have created using Zentangle



Additionally, I have challenged by some of our customers to include more cats in my drawings.



Thanks for checking out my blog...I am sorry it's been such a long time coming.

Meanwhile, please check out all the new shirts, stickers, magnets and ornaments on our Etsy site: ShopBinkyandBell.

Doctor Jokes | Beau | McGee | Art at Spotted Dog



Remain Calm Adopt a Dog

Today’s Jokes:

A guy walks into a dentist's office and flops down on the couch.
"Doc," he says, "the problem is I think I'm a moth."
"Well," says the doctor, "that certainly is a problem, but why did you come into a dentist's office?"
"The light was on."

McGee

A man walks into a doctor’s office… “Doc, I think I’m a kleptomaniac!”
“Here, take a seat.” The doctor replied.

Puns of Punishment | Great Dane Drawings | Navajo Woman Story | Sam The Sailor Corgi | Raleigh Community Vet Hospital | Eat Out For A Cause



Remain Calm Adopt a Dog

Today’s Jokes:

  • I thought I saw an eye-doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.
  • She was only a whiskey-maker, but he loved her still.
  • A rubber-band pistol was confiscated from an algebra class, because it was a weapon of math disruption.


****



Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride.

After a bit of small talk while resuming the journey, the Navajo woman noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.

"What's in the bag?" asked the woman.

Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband."

The Navajo woman was silent for a moment then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder said, "Good trade."

  • No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.
  • A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.
  • A hole has been found in the nudist-camp wall. The police are looking into it.

Kong | Hamster Joke | Remain Calm Shirts | Molson Block Prints



Remain Calm Adopt a Dog

Kong

Today’s Jokes:

Time flies like an arrow…
Fruit flies like bananas



****

A mangy looking guy who goes into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender says: "No way. I don't think you can pay for it.

The guy says, "You're right. I don't have any money, but if I show you something you haven't seen before, will you give me a drink?"

The bartender says, "Only if what you show me isn’t risqué."

"Deal!" says the guy and reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a hamster. He puts the hamster on the bar and it runs to the end of the bar, down the bar, across the room, up the piano, jumps on the keyboard and starts playing Scott Joplin songs. And the hamster is really good.

The bartender says, "You're right. I've never seen anything like that before. That hamster is truly great on the piano." The guy downs the drink and asks the bartender for another.

"Money or another miracle else no drink," says the bartender. The guy reaches into his coat again and pulls out a frog. He puts the frog on the bar, and the frog starts to sing. He has a marvelous voice and great pitch. A fine singer. A stranger from the other end of the bar runs over to the guy and offers him $300 for the frog.

The guy says, "It's a deal." He takes the three hundred and gives the stranger the frog. The stranger runs out of the bar. The bartender says to the guy, "Are you some kind of nut? You sold a singing frog for $300? It must have been worth millions. You must be crazy."

"Nope," says the guy. "The hamster is also a ventriloquist."
