FUN WITH LANGUAGE
I worked to help you visualize that...
Imagine doing five minutes of internet searches and then thinking you could accurately diagnose what was wrong with your car.
That's what we call a visual joke.
Choose wisely, my friends.
I knew a couple who got married in a drive-thru window at a chapel in Reno. After telling the woman in the window why they were there she asked, "Do you want vows with that?" very similar to Wendy's asking if you want fries.
Some people think I am a fool for not monetizing Folio Olio.
They just don't get it.
And many of the people who worship money also believe the Bible is a factual document that must be obeyed.
Half of my commenters need that.
Nothing like a close-call slip in the shower to remind us that we are all just a Jenga tower of bones.
Where there's a will, I want to be in it.
ARE YOU STUPID:
AN ILLUSTRATED QUESTIONNAIRE
Do you show off in front of a camera?
And...
Are you unaware of just how stupid you are?
Do you think Capitalism creates competition?
Do you think corporations will effectively regulate themselves?
Are you a bad liar?
Do you actually believe that there is no difference between America's two main political parties?
Do you place your life in peril for fun?
I see no difference between the above example and mountain climbing and skydiving.
EMT: Why did you jump out of that airplane?
You: Just for the hell of it.
Do you just "forget" how high your truck is?
I would think it would be in the insurance company's best interest to provide trucking companies with an app where you enter their route plus the height of your truck and it would tell you if there are problems with bridges that are too low.
^^B10^^
Do you like to carry a gun everywhere you go?
Do you accept internet challenges?
Do you do shit like this?
Do you think that professional wrestling is unstaged?
Dreams become reality when thoughts become actions.
People put their clean clothes in the same basket they transported them in when they were dirty.
FUN STUFF
I made a frame for a most excellent Heart of Stone that my grandson found on the beach.
How wonderful.
I remember that so clearly. I almost shit.
There's a lot of that going around.
That reminds me of Louis Gossett Jr's mouth in Enemy Mine.
And...
Anything that comes from inside our bodies automatically becomes disgusting.
At some point, there will be more dead people accounts on the internet than live ones.
GET LEARNT
The 49-story residential tower, Vancouver, Canada.
It's not as unstable as it looked...
There was an incident many years ago where a resident in an exclusive neighborhood painted the sculptures around his pool very realistically, including pubic hair.
(this is not one of those sculptures)
But painting sculptures used to be the norm.
Can you imagine being left on the battlefield defenseless?
Wolf Caravan
I think the adults leave a babysitter with the young ones when they go out to hunt.

2006 Ford F150 Yeah I know its a ford. It has 130,00 miles on it.
Instrument control panel. The video showed me how to remove it so I could send it away to be repaired. Five minutes to remove, ten to put it back in.
Intermediate steering control arm, how to remove and replace.
transmission transfer motor, how to remove and replace.
B-10 -- they already have "truckers gps" hardly anyone uses it
Dear Gun Guy, So you did that without any training in mechanics whatsoever?

^^A7^^ i believe the Bible actually says it's the love of money that's the root of all evil, not the money itself.
AFTER D8, Kennedy quote...
JFK was a great admirer of GK Chesterton, and the notion of his fence, follows. So you see JFK believed in contradictory things….
Chesterton’s Fence is a heuristic inspired by a quote from the writer and polymath G. K. Chesterton’s 1929 book, The Thing. It’s best known as being one of John F. Kennedy’s favored sayings, as well as a principle Wikipedia encourages its editors to follow. In the book, Chesterton describes the classic case of the reformer who notices something, such as a fence, and fails to see the reason for its existence. However, before they decide to remove it, they must figure out why it exists in the first place. If they do not do this, they are likely to do more harm than good with its removal. In its most concise version, Chesterton’s Fence states the following: Do not remove a fence until you know why it was put up in the first place.
Chesterton went on to explain why this principle holds true, writing that fences don’t grow out of the ground, nor do people build them in their sleep or during a fit of madness. He explained that fences are built by people who carefully planned them out and “had some reason for thinking [the fence] would be a good thing for somebody.” Until we establish that reason, we have no business taking an axe to it. The reason might not be a good or relevant one; we just need to be aware of what the reason is. Otherwise, we may end up with unintended consequences: second- and third-order effects we don’t want, spreading like ripples on a pond and causing damage for years.
Elsewhere, in his essay collection Heretics, Chesterton makes a similar point, detailed here: Suppose that a great commotion arises in the street about something, let us say a lamp-post, which many influential persons desire to pull down. A grey-clad monk, who is the spirit of the Middle Ages, is approached upon the matter, and begins to say, in the arid manner of the Schoolmen, “Let us first of all consider, my brethren, the value of Light. If Light be in itself good—” At this point he is somewhat excusably knocked down. All the people make a rush for the lamp-post, the lamp-post is down in ten minutes, and they go about congratulating each other on their un-mediaeval practicality. But as things go on they do not work out so easily. Some people have pulled the lamp-post down because they wanted the electric light; some because they wanted old iron; some because they wanted darkness, because their deeds were evil. Some thought it not enough of a lamp-post, some too much; some acted because they wanted to smash municipal machinery; some because they wanted to smash something. And there is war in the night, no man knowing whom he strikes. So, gradually and inevitably, to-day, to-morrow, or the next day, there comes back the conviction that the monk was right after all, and that all depends on what is the philosophy of Light. Only what we might have discussed under the gas-lamp, we now must discuss in the dark.
C1.... VERY nice! I love it.
