Sometimes, in efforts to take much longer to do simple things than most humans find reasonable, I will search for an image or description of something that I’m sure exists, but would like some confirmation/better understanding of.
For example, when writing this week’s Music Scene (which Jacob cleverly titled, “The Farzad Side” – check it out this Thursday), I thought there must exist a technical name for those many-faceted orbs that the D&D kids are always dropping under tables to get a chance to glance up someone’s skirt (… kidding!)
Finding the answer, though, is sometimes easier said than done. The weirdest shit pops up, thank to the glory of “the Internets.”

While searching for “the good ship lollipop,” (don’t ask why… ok. go ahead and ask) I found this photo from the future. This happens to be my dad on his 100th birthday. Not kidding.
I’d do anything to have this:

Can’t wait to use this as a resource somehow:
So it’s beautiful. Whatever. It sounds hilarious: Sleigh Rides at the Purgatory Lodge!
