Musical force of nature Tom Cardy has a helpful suggestion for finding that thing you can't find. [Note: a bit sweary.]

TIL there is a phrase "emu bob" and it means "to bend over to collect litter or small pieces of wood" At least I hope that's what it means.

In the southeastern US at least, it's usually "If it was up yer ass you'd know where it was." Which I always found humorous but unhelpful.

That was amazing.

For finding things, I am a fan of the Jan Hankl Flank-Pat System. His Scissor System is brilliant, too.

At the risk of this degenerating into a bunch of links to all of his videos:

The Big Breakfast

has legitimately been stuck in my head for a bit over three weeks and has directly influenced (in a bad way) several of my meals over the same period...

The actual best advice for finding something is "Look again more carefully where it's supposed to be."

UPDATE! His latest song (Just Imagine) has the following description:
Imagine I’m putting a full song and video out next Friday and then an E.P to Spotify and streaming platforms the following Friday. Ooh that’s nice isn’t it
