When you’re planning mischief with your team, secrecy is of paramount importance. But in today’s high-tech “smart” home, listening devices pick up your every word. How then to keep your conversations private? By using Cones of Silence™ from SpySupply, Inc., guaranteed to block all sounds up to 60 decibels. So you can put your heads together and keep it to yourselves!
I saw the submitter’s name and now I’m singing the Beach Boys…
I wonder if Mel Brooks or Buck Henry had thought of their pets when they came up with the Cone of Silence for GET SMART. [Those cats are so cute, I hope their plans succeed.]
I’ve long said that now practically all of us have shoe phones, what we really need is cones of silence.
FYI, it’s Corn on the Cob day, according to my Texts from Mittens page-a-day calendar. Thought y’all should know.
That’s good to know because I’ll be having some for dinner. The corn here in SoCal is not bad but I do miss my New Jersey sweet corn. That was the best!! Found a great way to cook corn on the cob; microwave for about 4-5 minutes then roll it around in some olive oil and butter, sprinkle with some spices (garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper) and finally roast in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Mmmmmmm, it is soooo delish.
They had corn at Wegmans the other day but I didn’t get any (not sure if it was local or not, but there wasn’t much left). I learned a few years ago that you can microwave it in the husk and it basically steams itself. Just gotta be careful removing it cuz it’s hot. (Usually I do it in a large flat Pyrex dish with a few teaspoons of water and the lid loosely sat on top, because Wegmans has big trash cans next to the corn display so you can remove the husks in the store and that’s so much easier than trying not to get cornsilk all over my kitchen.)
I usually go with a simple butter, salt, and pepper combo.
I was spoiled for sweet corn in my childhood when a neighbor used to sell it to us (a dollar a dozen?) from his garden. Very fresh. When he ran out, the stuff from Jersey across the river wasn’t bad. The sugar in the kernels starts turning to starch as soon as it’s picked. My husband suggests planting the corn outside the kitchen window and bending the stalks down into the pot of boiling water on the stove.
OMG that is too funny! All three of them? And they seem to have adapted to the cone because it doesn’t look like there’s a problem eating. But oh the indignity…🙀
I’m dying here, when I got to the line about putting heads together, I thought I knew what was coming. I envisioned TWO heads aligned nose to nose with cones surrounding them but this!!! This is beyond what I could even imagine. Bravo Mike, you keep taking things to the next level!
Oh, and I like the headline from the Imgur – The cats have been losing a lot of weight recently. 😂 🤣
Must’ve been a “Two Neuter and we’ll throw in a Spade” special at the vet’s.
You may well be right. I’m struggling to envisage a scenario in which three cats from the same household managed to get injured at the same time!
Haha! Too funny. 😂
A meeting of like minds
I think they’re up to something, not eating.
