PEOPLE

 

I have really mellowed out about accepting games people play to cope with a cruel world.
^^A1^^

Why hasn't Darwin eliminated people like this long ago?
^^A2^^

^^A3^^

In simplest terms, defibrillators cannot start a stopped heart. In fact, they work by stopping a heartbeat—a weird, problem heartbeat, that is. A powerful electric shock can actually CTRL-ALT-DELETE a heart that's pumping irregularly or too fast, in hopes of resetting the heart to its correct rhythm.
^^A4^^

 Bless their hearts.
^^A5^^

The Women of LARP

 LARP = Live-Action Role-Playing.

Cosplay for warriors?

^^A6^^

 See, where I come from that ain't all that unusual.
And neither is getting married in tights with hundred dollar bills printed on them.
^A7^^

This is why the United States doesn't have universal healthcare.

^^A8^^

If the workweek didn’t already exist and someone pitched the idea of everyone working 5 out of every 7 days they’d get thrown in a volcano.

PLACES

Torre Scola Italy

 Notice how the roof and the floor were supported by arches.
Heres the back and I'm guessing the alee side.

^^B1^^

A perfect metaphor for life.

^^B2^^

^^B3^^

^^B4^^

The pathways at Ohio State University were paved based on the routes students took before there were paved paths.

 The University of South Carolina did that exact same thing. But they took it one step further. They planted thorn bushes anywhere students would be tempted to cut a corner. And in the middle of each sectioned off area, they built mounds of dirt covered in ground cover making staying on the sidewalk easier than any shortcut.

^^B5^^

The ultimate The Floor is Lava game...

Places like that can be smelled from space. I know because there was one in the city of my birth.

^^B6^^

The caption read: 

Iran 1973 + 2020

 But that is clearly Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, in the background of the 2nd pic. Which means it’s almost assuredly Afghanistan rather than Iran. 

 Now that we have the technical abilities to put extraordinarily realistic fake faces onto movie bodies and copy voices exactly, soon we may have no idea what is truth and what is propaganda. And I predict people will believe what they want to believe and dismiss that which is contrary to what they want to be true.

And for what it's worth, a simple Google search turned up these modern Iranian women.

I see no high heels which please me. 
^^B7^^

Wow!
^^B8^^

You could tell me any facts about how dangerous animals are in Australia and I’d believe you. they got vampire bees? Of course, they do. dogs don’t need a permit to carry a gun? I won’t even google it.

THINGS

 ^^C1^^

Hashbrown Perfection

Unbelievably delicious. 
^^C2^^

Cast Iron pot perfect for pot roast.

The secret is these nipples on the underneath side of the lid which collects the steam and drips it down onto the meat for hours.

^^C3^^

 
^^C4^^

The Shining

Almost everything bad that happens in the movie can be credited to hallucinations or insanity or the power suggestions and anything else the mind can invent...EXCEPT for the unlocking of the storage room door.

Even the scratches to the kid's neck could be explained as self-inflicted. I call that a plot hole. Comments?

^^C5^^

 

^^C6^^

The shark and a seal

At first, I thought that was blood but now I think it just the sediment stirred up by the turbulence.
^^C7^^

The TV used to turn off at midnight right after the National Anthem. 
And the static remaining is Background Cosmic Radiation left over from the Big Bang.

^^C8^^

Shame Therapy for plants?
^^C9^^

 ^^C10^^

 Someone in this world has consumed more mayonnaise than anyone else currently alive and they don’t even know it.

FUN WITH LANGUAGE

All things Ralph...

 ^^D1^^

Well, not with that attitude.
^^D2^^

  ^^D3^^

I wonder what things we are doing currently that will be mocked by the next generations...besides ruining the planet. 
^^D4^^

O.J. Update

  ^^D5^^

McDonald's?
 ^^D6^^

This girl asked her mother about getting a tattoo and this was her text message.

^^D7^^

Hahahabananaha!
^^D8^^

^^D9^^

 If I ran the zoo...

I would put a piece of toast in a cage. A sign would say BREAD IN CAPTIVITY.

BEING GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO

 ^^E1^^

 ^^E2^^

But try to teach yourself to do something few people can do. I more or less charged whatever I wanted for my murals. My rule was: Whatever the market will bear - meaning the richer you are the more you paid. 
^^E3^^

This Waffle House employee got hops.

 ^^E4^^

Wolf running, jumping over fences while with a calf in its mouth.

 ^^E5^^

**IKIARBISW 

^^E6^^

This is a great idea, of course, but do you see anything...odd?

 The kid has his shirt on backward...or maybe, just maybe, his head is on backward.
^^E7^^

"Okay, which one of you cowards shit in my pants?"
- Pilot probably
^^E8^^

No OCD. Just pride in one's work. 
^^E9^^

I'm impressed.
 
^^E10^^

A man makes protest film for better roads in India.

^^E11^^
