One Of My Very Own


PONDERABLES


Superstitions are so very stupid. I put them right up there with mindless traditions in things that need to be eliminated. 

^^A1^^

^^A2^^

That is the EXACT thrill I get when I make someone belly laugh.

I've had classrooms full of children rolling in the aisles before.

^^A3^^

When I was young I lived in a house on a major highway. The highway was straight but right in front of my house there was a dip in the road and cars waiting in the dip waiting to turn in the street next to my house were constantly being rear-ended. Once a taxi hit a car, and the passenger went out the windshield, and while lying on the road was run over by the ambulance. She lived. Meanwhile, the taxi driver who had directed traffic around the wreck dropped dead at the scene. Do with that information as you wish.

^^A4^^

You and I know that was cleverly faked.
But there are people who simply can't watch that. 
My wife is such a person.
^^A5^^

I was really hoping the European Model would catch on in other places.

^^A6^^


I have more or less sworn off political content unless it's funny and I think this shit is hilarious.

Pilots Strike in Canada

If a company has record profits and doesn't raise wages then they are just begging for strikes.

"Who was Prime Minister when Queen Elizabeth died" is going to be a 

God-tier trivia question in 20 years.

Wife: No.

You would either have sex with a ghost or you wouldn't. That is the dividing line in American society today.

This is Stephan Bibrowski, otherwise known as Lionel the Lion-faced Man. Stephan had a condition known as hypertrichosis that caused the hair to grow up to eight inches long all over his body including, obviously, his face:

Victorian Era “Ritter” Road skates or foot bicycles, ca 1898

Calvary in the Civil War rode mules. It's probably because they need endurance more than speed.

Waiting for their evening meal. Many pond-raised pellet-fed fish lose their taste for bugs.

My daughter got hit by a car just like that in Japan and the driver of the car brought a small gift to her house every day for a month as a way of apologizing.

^^C10^^

I can't travel to Florida anymore because the time difference is too much. It's 1950 there.

Nobody told him he could change gears?

Have you ever fucked a woman's arches before?

^^D2^^

If I made a list of places where situational awareness is paramount, being on a javelin field would be very close to the top.

^^D3^^

I wonder how many times the ball goes down the neck hole.

When it comes to property valuations everybody here does what trump did including the legal profession and it's not an issue. Get three independent external valuations and ask for them at the lowest or highest end of the spectrum. Use those for your own best financial outcome.

It's hard to have situational awareness with one eye closed and the other looking through a camera viewfinder. Cameramen get into a lot of accidents due to this, part of the job.

That's an accident waiting to happen, it's not a matter of "if" but "when"

^^A5^^ I saw that some 50 years ago. Great fun to watch it on a big screen in a darkened theater with about 100 other people, many of whom are high on various substances. Way more exciting than watching on a small screen by yourself. I recall at least 5 people throwing up immediately, and lots of people leaving in a hurry. "Un Chien Andalou" is the name of it, a short from 1929. Weird little movie. No surprise, that's the only bit of the movie I remember.
