The shark one is only mildly funny, but I just now finished watching the movie Jaws on TV.
If rates are up, then refinance would not be a wise decision. Of course, taking advice from a loan shark is problematic.
I have no idea what’s going on the Buni strip. I mean, I see the events occurring but the giant toilet makes no sense. In the original story, the beans grew into a beanstalk which is what beans do. They didn’t just make random things huge.
Except that he ate the beans, instead of planting them.
My name got hosed in my previous comment, so it is awaiting moderation.
Per Wikipedia:
“Windhover” is another name for the common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus). The name refers to the bird’s ability to hover in midair while hunting prey. In the poem, the narrator admires the bird as it hovers in the air, suggesting that it controls the wind as a man may control a horse. The bird then suddenly swoops downwards and “rebuffed the big wind”. The bird can be viewed as a metaphor for Christ or of divine epiphany.
By “the poem” they mean “The Windhover” by Gerard Manley Hopkins:
I caught this morning morning’s minion, king-
dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding
Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird, – the achieve of, the mastery of the thing!
Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here
Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion
Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!
No wonder of it: shéer plód makes plough down sillion
Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear,
Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermilion.
And the headwind which allows the hover could be coming from any kind of source!
