Salutations, loyal Tanganites.

The focus today will be images. Since most puzzle solvers that visit Tanga regularly have experienced the ‘bliss’ of random picture identification, I thought I’d give everyone an opportunity to help teach our computers how to identify objects in images. This is optional, of course, and isn’t necessary for solving the puzzle. If this is your first trip

Pyrok mentioned laziness in his or her (straighten me out, pyrok) Tanga Times last night, and it’s perfect timing because I’m too lazy to create any puzzles this week. Instead, y’all get to create puzzles! Submit your best rebuses for classic works of literature. Actual images, please, not just “a rampaging elephant + a mutant banana + two children playing a game of tiddlywinks” etc. Here

Happy Labor Day, everyone!

I hope you were able to enjoy the holiday that celebrates the American worker and the nice, long weekend that customarily marks the end of summer. It’s also time to lament over what you wanted accomplish over the summer but didn’t and maybe make that last-ditch effort to try and accomplish something. Or it’s a day to just be lazy and have a federally mandated excuse f

As I’ve perused the blogs over the months, I have come to wonder at the cool screen names people have chosen for themselves….

My name “leadfoot”, well, I don’t remember why I chose it – I think subconsciously I was playing off my initials “PB”, but I don’t remember it being a conscious decision. I did get a question about whether I get a lot of speeding tickets….

Anyway, why did you choo

The lord is a shoving leopard (the lord is a loving shepherd).
