My grandson had a ball at the reunion.

TROUBLES AND WOES

Leeeroyyy Jenkins!!!!
^^A1^^

Same intersection, same outfits, same bad luck...

^^A2^^

^^A3^^

Their husbands went with them to the labor room to cheer them up.

^^A4^^

That is one aggressive rat!
^^A5^^

I've seen so many clips of the exact same thing that I'm beginning to think that is what is SUPPOSED to happen.

How the hell do you get insurance coverage on such a thing?
^^A6^^

Amputee problems - "When I'm assembling myself in the morning, and the cat steals my arm."

I find the phrase "assembling myself" exceedingly specific.
^^A7^^

Watch carefully.

Now go back and watch her left foot change colors.

^^A8^^

I'm a big fan of the perfect segue.
^^A9^^

As a child, I had the impression that I would be offered free drugs by strangers much more frequently than the 0 times it's happened.

PEOPLE MORE INTERESTING THAN YOU

Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef on location for the climactic finale at Sad Hill Cemetery in Sergio Leone's THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1966).
^^B1^^

Catch 22 1970

I often date things like that as before children or after children. Both of those movies were before children.
^^B2^^

This is a WWII veteran on Omaha Beach.

Amongst those rocks, my wife found a Heart of Stone. I have hundreds, but this one is very special - it has a perfectly round hole right through it.

I find it poignant.

^^B3^^

^^B4^^

Boy, would I love to meet that woman? I leave things about often and consider her a kindred spirit.
^^B5^^

Speaking of painted eyes...

^^B6^^

I flat out didn't believe that, but apparently, it's true.

^^B7^^

A man that really likes his food...

That is the only correct response in that situation.
^^B8^^

The two tiny holes drilled in every Bic pen is to ensure that the air pressure is the same both inside and outside the pen which helps the ink flow to the tips.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST

I would crank that thing for hours.
^^C1^^

How very, very wonderful. I hope that catches on all over the world.
^^C2^^

Well, I guess we found the neo-Nazis.
^^C3^^

Wait for it...

It's a bicycle...kind of.
^^C4^^

The question begs to be asked: How do you get in it?

Come to find out this is just the design image and has little resemblance to what will actually be built. Design people never talk to engineers.
^^C5^^

Abandoned 19th-century spiral staircase.

Waste like that makes me ill.
^^C6^^

It's about fucking time! I've been waiting for this for years.
^^C7^^

This is called the Miura fold

I first saw it years ago as an alternative method for folding road maps...remember those? Now it is used in space to solve various problems.
^^C8^^

A restaurant resembling a five-story building was seen flowing downriver in Chongqing. The unusual sight occurred as local authorities removed floating restaurants docked along the Yangtze.
^^C9^^

The man who found the 5,000-year-old corpse Otzi the Iceman in 1991 was also found frozen to death in 2004.

Oligarch realizes why suppressing wages eventually hurt his business.

CONVERSATION STARTERS
(or enders)

NOTE: I don't just decide to do a large section of Social Concerns. It's all the luck of the draw. I just happened to stumble upon some provocative tidbits that I thought deserved sharing.

So CNN is damn near the dead center? I don't think so. Fuck actual content, what about the eye-rolling and scoffs at anything Trump does?
^^D1^^

Remember when we were all scared shitless with overpopulation? Well, not anymore. We are not even replacing ourselves.
^^D2^^

I don't know about that. Surely "people who are hurting" do some funny ass shit sometimes.
^^D3^^

Speaking of being nicer...

^^D4^^

The most important job in the world and we throw them peanuts.
^^D5^^

^^D6^^

The best-laid plans...
^^D7^^

People give her crap for talking to our "enemies" - but now we are saber-rattling toward Iran, Venezuela, and a few other countries. Maybe diplomacy has a purpose?
^^D8^^

A more radical view on war...

It has been said that if there wasn't a shitload of money to be made from war then there wouldn't be any war.
^^D9^^

I've talked to enough people in therapy to know that that could actually help.
^^D10^^

What has the fact that he is a Freemason got to do with it?
^^D11^^

If you sneeze while traveling 60 mph your eyes are closed for about 50 feet.

LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES

^^E1^^

Drunk idiot tries to outrun cop with a taser.

Someone commented: "I know it's a setup video but that could've been one nasty bottle injury."
Probably, but you can see the taser sparking on the lawn right by his left hand.
I call it is fake because there just happened to be a cameraman standing in just the right spot to record the incident.
^^E2^^
