WENESDAY #5362

 One Of My Very Own

FOOD FOR THOUGHT


And this...

I am milking each and every day I have left for all it's worth. The blog takes most of my mornings but I still have the rest of the day for art making. I have seen too many old men wasting their last days sitting at a bar or getting drunk in an easy chair in their living rooms. I can't imagine me doing that.

^^A1^^

To repeat my most often given piece of advice: Whether you are a young man or a young woman you should wear your genitalia out. Abuse it mercilessly. Show it to whoever cares to see it. Enjoy it while you can.

^^A2^^

^^A3^^

My viewing audience still amazes me.

^^A4^^

Don't laugh - my grandson is that type of child. He's got the smarts in spades and it's my job to bring out the goofy in the lad.

I once asked a really smart teenager what he did for fun and he said he corrected Wikipedia articles.

He didn't have a Big Diddy to show him the way to Goofy Town.

^^A5^^

I see images like that and I think back to when I would be on a roll and just write all night, then wash my face and teach school all day. Back then I wrote to entertain my readers. I've been told that my books were very clever but they were far from didactic. Now that I am older I wish I had tried to share some of the things I've learned.

^^A6^^

I've always liked helping people.

But sometimes the problem is too complicated to be solved by citizen involvement alone. Here's an example:

Temporary Road Build Around A Landslide In Fukui Prefecture, Japan

That was built in a matter of days. Governments are needed for the big problems - like making sure no child is hungry - even if their parents are worthless pieces of shit, it's not the child's fault.

^^A7^^

A viewer sent me an interview with Tom Selleck and he said that guns are not the problem. When he was growing up a kid could order a gun from an ad in the back of a magazine but we didn't have mass shootings. Interesting point. But let's just go ahead and admit that something is badly flawed with present-day Americans - shouldn't we then at least deny them access to the most lethal firearms on the planet?

Here's the result of gun control in Germany:

One day the people of Russia are going to drag his body through the streets of Moscow and no one will ever admit supporting him.

My favorite Uncle Bill once gave us a mind teaser that I sort of remember. I am going to do the best I can to get it right but can't guarantee the details.

Imagine the Earth as a smooth sphere. Stretched all around it at the equator is a string that touches the ground all the way around. Now imagine that you add three feet to the length of the string and it assumes a position equal distance from the ground all the way around. 

My Uncle Bill told us we would now be able to crawl under the string. Is that true?

"Will you marry me?" is a marriage proposal.

FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY


I just spent an hour and a half talking to an investigator about the Dylan Roof case. I taught him for a year. He is slated to die and they are trying to get him declared insane.

*That is a very popular theme on the internet.

I feel very fortunate that my mustache grows horizontally out instead of vertically down.

Does anyone know if Jesus would have worn a yarmulke?

Mass hysteria pure and simple.

^^B12^^

One of my regular customers at my bar in Myrtle Beach came in and asked whose Corvette was parked out front. He then wagered the title to his vehicle against the title of the Vet in a race from my bar to the Pavilion downtown. Luckily the Vet owner would have none of it because the other guy rode a bike and he knew that the traffic was bumper to bumper that time of day and his bike would have won handily.

The difference between me and some of my commenters is that if 100 or so Democrats were prepared to testify under oath that Biden was a crook then my support of the man would flag.

I never knew some were so deep - if that is to scale.

Elevated Metro Line Integrated Into Park It Passes Over In Kolkata, India

Nice.

^^C2^^

Skew Bridge In Scotland

I speak out of school but it seems easier to put a bend in the road and straighten out the bridge.

---

LATER: Maybe it's a railroad crossing a railroad and adding a bend is not an option.

^^C3^^

Bridge In Wind

^^C4^^

Nicely looped.

^^C5^^

This is an art installation that I have posted previously. 

I like it very much.

I would have built an inner shell and then attached several layers of chairs as a veneer.

^^C6^^

That looks like a fun thing to make.

^^C7^^

I'm assuming that is a sand sculpture.

I swore off posting sand art a long time ago but that one is incredible.

^^C8^^

I'm not a big fan of copying cartoon characters but whatever.

I've got several similar things scattered around my property.

^^C9^^


I've got something similar to that also...

^^C10^^

 I understand the allure of having your artwork viewed by countless people every day, but I just wish the people who do things like this...

...would try something a little more...demanding.

All I'm saying is, Homer Simpson wished for a turkey sub instead of a bigger dick, so you know he's packing a magnum dick.


ADMIRABLE HUMAN BEHAVIOR


I watched a performance of Blue Men in Boston and loved it.

^^D1^^

^^D2^^

That man has it all figured out.

But look what I found the following day...

^^D3^^

What must they both be thinking.

^^D4^^

The blankets - is that like blind volleyball?

^^D5^^

This Magnificent Dancer

^^D6^^

Once you hit a certain age life is just a delicate balance of trying to stay awake and trying to fall asleep while slowly getting worse at both.

There are two things I can't stand: Socialism and the exploitation of my labor by the bourgeoisie.

Please explain that to me.

I looked it up - it's true.

"Black market slave trade in Africa"

There were a whole bunch of people calling that bullshit. Most think those are sheep.

Does anyone know for sure?

circumference = 2 * PI * r
circumference + 3 = (2 * PI * r) + 3
= 2 * PI * (r+1.5)

The rope is now 1.5 feet above the ground

The Russians actually like Putin, his approval ratings are at an all-time high. So they're more likely to build a statue to honour him when he dies.

I also recall you saying he was bullied by kids from the hood? None of that ever came out via the media etc as far as I recall.

Must be fake, we all know the evil white men were the only slavers.

Seriously, dunno about the video but slavery is still very much alive in Africa.

OBSERVATIONS AND OPINIONS OF OTHERS

Americans suffer from a serious case of crab mentality.

Your answer, although correct, is ambiguous.
For any sphere, regardless of radius, for every unit of one the circumference is increased the radius increases by one half of a unit.

Since pi is a constant, the radius is directly tied to the circumference.
When you increase the circumference by a value, simply divide that value in half (by using the number 2 in the formula). As you pointed out, the formula is 2pi r.

Therefore, adding 1 ft to a string around a basketball, or 1 ft of string around the Earth, results in exactly one half foot of height above either of the spheres.

Here in the U.S. we have over 57,000 gun laws on the books. It's not the laws that are lax, it's enforcement that's lax. It's punishing the ones who break the myriad of gun laws that are lax.

B8: Both the woman and the vase were broken and mended. Having the vase on display behind a protective case implies that one does not have to be perfect to be admired.

B9: The sheriff is on his way to an altercation; perhaps even a showdown. His fleeing shadow gives us insight to the fear suppressed by the stoic nature he projects to the towns-people regarding the laws he has sworn to uphold.

Not at all ambiguous. If anything, I was being specific in addressing our hosts anecdote
