You know I try to publish a new blog about once every week or so. Typically, I put at least one humorous item at the end to send you off with (hopefully) a smile. So, as I see funny or unusual items, I save them for use later.
Well, this whacky world is just dishin’ out too much crazy stuff and my funny bin is full. So, here’s a special edition of Random Beach Thoughts. Enjoy!
========================================
California crazy - Woman arrested on suspicion of starting a California wildfire
Ok, I know, I’m starting off with a sad story. Many of the wildfires in the west have been caused by arson and the people who start these devastating fires should be locked up for a long time. What makes this story unusual (to say the least) is that “the blaze was triggered accidentally while [the arsonist] tried to boil bear urine so she could drink it.” Ok. That’s bad enough but inquiring minds want to know from what willing bear she got the urine!

I just can’t get enough of the whacky Taliban. This video of Taliban fighters at an amusement park is too funny. I can just hear it now:
Mohammed: “Sahar, come try the Teacup Ride with me!”
Sahar: “Praise Allah, no. The last time I got very dizzy and puked on my grenade launcher. It took all night to clean the hummus off.”

Apparently, “cause Covid” there is a shortage of clowns in Northern Ireland and circuses are recruiting. According to the owner of a circus, in order to be a clown, you have to be "really, really adaptable" and be able to think on your feet.
"When you go into the circus ring and you've got 700 to 800 people looking at you, no matter what sort of mood you're in you have to light up that circus ring," he said.
"A clown actually can be the loneliest place because you're in there on your own and you have to be able to read your audience, in a short couple of minutes you have to be able to get a rapport going with them and interact and feed off them."
He should start recruiting in Washington D.C.

The dollar just isn’t worth a dollar anymore…
Now I know inflation is real when I can’t buy cheap stuff for cheap!

Is There Nothing a Drone Can’t Do?
It’s believed that the Loch Ness Monster was captured on video accidentally when a camper was using a drone to film his campsite on the shores of Loch Ness. If true it’s the latest sighting of a creature that’s almost as rare as a piece of home exercise equipment without clothes hanging on it.

Now that Trump has left office, Saturday Night Live can finally retire Alec Baldwin as the resident Trump impersonator. Thank God, he was awful! But, for those of you who love a good Trump skewering, SNL just hired James Austin Johnson. Get a load of this guy. He’s spot on!

The Devil You Say!
I’m sure you know how hard a President’s staff works to present just the right image of their boss, even setting photo ops to make them look saintly:
Well, what was the staff of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan thinking when they allowed this image of Erdogan during a September speech?
