They must have the camera ready at all times. By the time I find mine, the catz have stopped being cute!
My kids were just observing that Dwayne Johnson is in practically every movie they see these days.
I chose the picture to go with JoeProBono’s post just above.
I like Johnson a lot. He always looks in shape as if he were still wrestling, and unlike cardboard cutouts like Steve Austin (and yeah, I kinda like him too), Mr. Johnson can act.
Oh, that was definitely a good response to Joe’s post as well.
I think Johnson is really cute. I haven’t seen Austin in a long time, but he was also cute, back when he was a recurring character on “Nash Bridges.” We have that on DVD. Maybe I’ll watch some later!
Lol! Good morning! Gardening on the agenda today! Pull those weeds, tote that barge, lift that bail (bale?)
So why am I so creaky and make all those crispy noises? That must count for something.
That sounds good!
They both sound very interesting!
Bale.
Bale for tied-up bundles. A bail is a handle (typically on a bucket).
I have no idea whom either of you are talking about. (Visualize eye roll when I asked a young woman, “Who’s Matthew McSomethingorother?”) *Sigh* SYL
Oh, like bale of hay. Thanks! (We were given three bales for mulch.)
I believe the phrase “Tote that barge, lift that bale.” origiated with cotton farming, but same idea.
This is Dwayne Johnson. He was formerly a professional wrestler known as "The Rock," and as you can see, he has a cute smile.

This is Steve Austin. He was also a professional wrestler known as "Stone Cold," and he also has a cute smile.
I love your tagline.
Thanks! :)
Bail is also in the ice maker of some freezers: Up for off, Down for noisy.
*hubba-hubba*
Yes, but although you can “lift” that kind of “bail,” it doesn’t work in context with “Tote that barge.” The original song (”Ol’ Man River”) is referring to loading cotton bales.
