Here are some elephant seals gals lounging about on the beach on San Miguel Island.
They have quite a time of it most of the year, and after a lot of hassle, they get a few weeks to do this. Just rest, no one bothering them, the babies are gone, the fellas are back at sea. No one is around except the occasional weekend camper with a camera.
Sometimes, a person just needs to take a break, lounge about, expel some air. Maybe occasionally scratch an armpit.
note: in an attempt to stave off appearances of copying and also any cardiac conditions of sensitive commenters, I have changed the name of this post.

I hate it whan a blog post is called a café.
And I mean really, really, really fucking hate it.
It's stupid and I really fucking hate it.
I hate it because it's really, really, really fucking stupid.
And no, I don't feel better now.
Whan?
I fucking hate that, too.
See?
PaddyO, There has been a continuing soap opera in San Diego regarding seals taking over a Children's Beach in LaJolla. We take visitors there, especially those w/ kids. There is a huge distraction of the seal v human groups. The dispute has been in Federal Court for about a decade now. You see the beach is a cove and one of the few safe places for little kids to swim. That's why the seals came in awhile back. They birth their babies there where they're protected from predators. The judge has tried to strike a balance between the 2 groups. However, neither wants balance, they want a clear victory. And, as we all here know, that is a toxic environment.
Hooray!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!
Re: lounging.
That's the Shih Tsu way
(as long a human companion is nearby).
Bistro sounds so french.
What about "bar" or even "pub"?
Many other choices.
I especially like "beanery".

I remember TOP flirted with the idea of other names.
Bordello came up a lot IIRC.
Elephant seals are big and get particularly upset if you hook one surf fishing.
They can also move a lot faster than you might think when they are angry.
Althouse has the floating vulva box which certainly needed a name.
But I can't figure out anything else about what's going on.
There's a comments poll after it that ought to be combined, how do you feel about vulva boxes.
I think they're a plus. It's a high tech feather dance.
The Summit Diner in Summit NJ used to have the biggest portions of everything ever seen since cave men started eating out.
They're under new management now as of a while ago, and I can't vouch for them. Profits may have become a consideration.
When elephant seals fight...
Jeeez those seals and kids sound like bloggers. Just sayn'
Good morning.
Females needing relaxation? You have no idea.
My neighbor, who is French (he's from Florida) sent this over.
Poom.
You should call it the Time Out Chair.
Commenter Joe Schmoe has called us Lemulites in the Please Stop post.
I kinda like it.
Sounds like Chuck Heston - he parted Lake Wingra and led us into the Land of Milk and Honey.

LOL!
Has your neighbor seen this?

(Warning: ^ this is full of the bad French--so...there is that--it drives certain French crazy and they can't get past that.)
Althouse important person facial detection doesn't notice the advantage of hacking your own face into the important database, a new crime.
So I see Amazon to the right here. Is that a portal through which I can buy candy cigarettes, and where doing so would help support this blog? Because, I'd love to do that. Not buy candy cigarettes - I wish I could quit that, but I can't. What I'd love to do is support this blog through the same addiction that's supporting my dentist.
Madawaskin --I feel like I've watched the Henri vid before, but thanks - it is very clever.
ndspinelli: started reading Mrs. S.'s book - very good!
Oh there is like a whole series of them--and it has been out for a long time.
But if anyone has missed it--it's funny.
The dog comes in when the Tyson chicken bits bag is opened no matter how silently.
She carefully takes one from my fingers and believes that's all there are.
The rest go into the steamer basket not implied by the original scent.
"The white idiot writhes on his chair, begging for cheeseburgers."
This offended me.
I'm not begging, I'm demanding!
The betting is crazy on the impending royal baby, re: sex and name. A girl is heavily favored, and the name most bet on: Alexandra.

Boy and Trayvon ... aka No Limit Wigga.
The alternative to going invisible is going omniscient.
I think that are other alternatives that I'll have to look up
homodiegetic and heterodiegetic
Things seem a lot more complicated. I'd go for invisible.
I was offended as well.
Where the hell is my cheeseburger?
Not following all of this witty repartee. But I will say it's a great idea to have an open thread where any old commenters can just riff back and forth in real time. Fun and interesting.
What are other uses for the floating vulva box.
It really doesn't conceal so much as absorb.
You could use it to block out a bright star in a constellation sky map, say of Cassiopeia.
French police and youths are clashing.
Clousseau and Kato are the model.
Violence in the movies.
Deb, I'll pass along your message, thanks.
The greens are outraged about the US Navy bombing the world historical site great barrier reef.
Lighten up.
Anyone turn the grill on yet?
Althouse needs a snooping poll.
How do you feel about snooping.
If it wasn't for shark attacks, "seal" would be a pretty good gig.

Just watched the noon re-run of Fox News Sunday, and I must say this Kevyn Orr guy from Detroit is the best thing I have seen on TV for a month of Sundays.
Maybe there is still hope for this country!
Hagar .... Legal Insurrection has a good piece on Detroit. If you've not seen it yet, you might find it interesting.
Would that Kevyn Orr and Gary Brown could take on "accounting tricks" in Washington DC next maybe. Problem with that is that truth is painful, possibly unsurvivable [based upon my time as a Fed] long term.
PS: Gary Brown is the Deputy Chief of Police fired by ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick [now convicted of 24 federal corruption crimes] for doing his job and investigating malfeasance.
