That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 16, 2020

She was hoping to use the hammock to propel herself into the next door boy’s window.

“Maybe I can levitate into the hammock.”

Every time a bell rings, an Angel gets her wings. But nobody said that they would be fluffy white-feathered wings. In Agatha’s case, they were creepy bat wings

Jane like to re-enact the Crucifixion whenever she was alone. Which was often, as most people found her creepy.

“Slingshot me Jesus through the goalposts of life”

Helen was a glutton for punishment. After her hammock experiment the next thing on her list was practicing parallel parking the family minivan.

“Before getting on the hammock I must reach inner peace, inner peace, inner peace … mmmh … mmmh …”

I keep thinking of Thelma from ’Mama’s Family’, repeatedly getting tossed to the floor while trying to get in one of those.

A grown-up Dorothy trying anything to slingshot herself back over the rainbow.

Innovations In Marketing – The new (Air) Mail Order Bride

young girl in summertime, waiting around for shorts, sandals, and t-shirts to be invented…

“Mr Wright, are you certain this is how you and Wilbur did it at Kitty Hawk?”

How they used to launch the flying nun

“How To Use a Hammock Safely” National Safety Board

Getting a feel for the ropes in a wrestling ring.

How call girls were delivered before there were drones. 10-9-8-7-6….boing !!

Trying to get a ham hock on the hammock.

By this point, everyone had already seen Sarah’s bloomers, and had gone on to other amusements.

Yes Winslow, sunglasses are cool, but not when you’re painting!

She wondered why all the guys wanted to watch.

Some kids were killed in a hammock accident just this past weekend. So sad.

Whoever designed the hammock was a sadist

Shouldn’t we use a pumpkin for this slingshot instead?

She was a fan of the Steve Miller Band and her favorite song was “Fly Like An Eagle.”

Portrait of Mabel de Sade, English cousin to the famous Marquis and the inventor of the sex sling, shown here with the Version 1 prototype she presented on “Shark Tank.”

“Cuthbert, you on the left – Nigel, you on the right. I’ll marry the one who doesn’t fall off.”

I thought she was stretching her wings to fly

Shady Lady – Too Drunk To Stand

( This painting was entitled by me on my tablet, from the comfort of my hammock on the terrace )

“This is the only lady-like way to enjoy these things. After I finish relaxing, I believe I’ll go riding – side saddle of course. And the rest of the day I’ll spend avoiding raising my arms lest my dress rise up and reveal a bit of ankle”

“I saw a coyote doing this to catch a roadrunner. He made it look like fun.”

Although the difference between a swing and a hammock had been explained repeatedly to Becky, she still didn’t get it.

O, Summer’s a terrible time/ just look at how lonely I’m../but what really rankles/ is this dress to my ankles/ hmmm..would doffing it be such a crime ?

Beginning tumbling 101.

early bat girl trying out her new wings, will be awhile before she can fl.

If this is a ‘Summer Afternoon’ , I would get inside, as it’s about to rain cats and dogs.

Jenny thought it would be cool to use her hammock as a giant slingshot to launch herself across the river to where the cute boys lived.
