Not so much as "cheerful", just a passing chuckle.
Quick visit to my GP's surgery, newish GP, changing things. Reception staff now have uniforms, juniors a dark mauve smock with a lilac stripe down the front from the right shoulder; seniors with the colour scheme reversed. Wonder what the doctor will be wearing, pristine whites or the same old casual, jean style, slacks and check shirt?
In a London hotel, run by an ex-army sergeant major, junior bar/restuarant staff wore light brown shirts, seniors had a thin white stripe, junior managers half and half, full managers all white. Hotel staff had the same but in blue and white. At least you could work out who you were talking to.

That is very true. In order to compensate for no myelin sheaths our cells' axons would have to have much larger diameters (less resistance inside the cell, more ion channels scattered along the surface), but they would be much slower.

That's cool Dave, ever think of sending Jane an email telling her that you died, but this email is proof there is an afterlife because you sent it to her after your death?
Maybe too morbid of a joke though to play on a friend?

That's amazing!
Strange thing to chuckle about maybe, but this news item amused my sense of schadenfreude.
The Russians recently erected a statue to Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the world's most successful firearm, the AK47 (estimated 75 million made.) Trouble was the plaque showed the wrong gun, it had a Nazi German assault rifle that Kalashnikov based his weapon on instead of an AK47.
Now they have had to remove that part of the statue with an angle grinder! The sculptor has apologised.
I should add my chuckle is not really at the sculptor's expense, though it is his error (but did he badly research the subject or was he given the wrong example?), but at the Russian authorities.
[Edited to correct s mishearing.]

I've zoomed in down to the pixel level and I cannot detect any image manipulation - unless it was faked very cleverly, it looks real to me.

And there is a slight bend in the finger as it crosses a bend in the shirt.
It was photo shopped. Looking at the text closely you can see that the blurring doesn't match the detail of rest of the image, and there are also some artifacts that show up everywhere but the text making it look like the text was added after. So I searched for "barron melania trump" and found this image from the Trump Invitational Grand Prix:
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
They are wearing the same clothes (sans the text on Barron's shirt), so I focused on that event and came across the image in question:
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
It's higher rez, so hiding photo manipulations would be even more difficult. Any ways, you can see many pictures of them at the event.

Good work. Your forensic skills are better than mine!
Hmm, when I expanded the image I did notice some "fuzziness" around the text, but on a second look it seemed clearer and I was not sure how much was artifacts from it being "loaded" a few times. But that is what made me query it to start with.

Dave that is one helluva pumpkin, and yes it would be weigh too much for even my gorilla like arms 8)
Funny story. Years ago while I was working at another job, the Vice President of the company decided to plant some special pumpkin seeds he had bought which produce these giant sized pumpkins.
He had a couple young daughters at the time, and thought it would be fun to grow these pumpkins in his backyard. Well one of them grew too epic proportions, so big in fact that he was encourage to enter the pumpkin into the Michigan State Pumpkin Festival for largest pumpkin. He didn't really want to deal with the whole transportation of this enormous pumpkin, but his daughters were really, really excited about the idea that their pumpkin might win the contest so they bugged their daddy until he consented.
He owned a Ford Windstar at the time, and after careful measurement decided he could fit it into the back of the van. However, it was so fucking huge that he had to build a special ramp to push it up into the van. He paid a couple of the guys from our mechanic shop to help him with it... so one day they got to work on loading it into the van. They had to use another vehicle to first pull the damn thing out of the flower bed, and then drag it along the grass until they could position it in front of his van to be loaded. They used the other vehicle to push it up the ramp.
Apparently it took them over 4 hours or so to load the the thing...then the next day the three of them drove to the fairgrounds and deposited it on site for the contest. Once out of the van the fairgrounds had a forklift to move it so it was much easier to move around and position for the contest.
They came in 2nd place. I forget how heavy it was, but the thing was freaking huge. He had pictures of him and his girls who were ecstatic about the whole thing, along with the giant pumpkin framed on his desk. It was a really cute picture.
Now he had taken the pumpkin to the fairgrounds under the assumption that he could leave it there, and that the folks running the fair would later dispose of it, but he was wrong.
So he had to borrow the forklift and stuff the pumpkin back into the van. Now he was not an experience forklift operator at all, and of course by this time he didn't care if it got damaged or not so he was fairly rough shoving it back into the van and portions of the pumpkin broke and were gashed, especially the bottom of it which was kind of soft.
He took the van home with the pumpkin inside and parked it, and then left it sitting there for the week until his wife opened it up one day and discovered that the pumpkin was rotten and the entire van floor was awash in giant pumpkin guts.
So that weekend he asked the two guys from the shop to come back and help him clean it out, apparently it was quite a disgusting mess and they had to use shovels to scoop most of it out. It had also soaked into the carpet and made quite the mess they say.
Afterwards he had to rent a steam cleaner to clean the carpet, but according to him the smell of pumpkin never really left the van, and the carpet floor was forever discolored as well.
His wife was not too happy...the next year they didn't plant any pumpkins.
:lol: That worked; thanks, Father Bruno. I started laughing when I read "left it sitting there for the week." Rotten pumpkin stink isn't as horrendous as rotten potato, but it would get tiresome after a few weeks.
To settle an argument (I lost) with my neighbour we looked up the colours of the rainbow and mnenomics for them.
"Richard of York gave battle in vain" was the one I, dort of, remembered but, though I should not have, "Reports Of Young Girls Banging Inside Vatican" gave me a giggle. Memories of a smutty minded (so what's changed?) teenager learning the resistor colour code, "Bad boys rape our young girls but virgins grow wise." Of course the slightly more refined substituted "ravish" but wtf . . .

There is a protein called pikachurin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikachurin):
QuotePikachurin is an extracellular matrix-like retinal protein first described in 2008 in Japan by Shigeru Sato et al., and named after Pikachu, a character of the Pokémon franchise. The name of this "nimble" protein was inspired due to Pikachu's "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
I chuckled when I saw this, before coming to my senses and eye-rolling.
There is another called 'sonic hedgehog (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_hedgehog)'.

This license plate belongs to Joshua Colwell, he's a Prof. of Phys. and Plan. Sci. at UCF. \Dir. of Ctr for Microgravity Research. He is of course based on the plate quite obviously a supreme Trekkie...however. If you look to the right of his license plate you'll notice a small oval sticker that reads: 13.0194
He ran a half-marathon and in honor of his run had the sticker printed out to four decimal points...pretty cool!

Hey Icarus, " I've been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms..."
Sorry, got carried away for a second, sorry.
I happen to follow a collogue of his on twitter and he posted the picture of the back of Prof. Colwell's car, and I thought it was funny. Interesting thing is I was at the gym last week around the same time as I posted the picture below and a couple of older guys in the locker room were talking, and one of them mentioned how he not only runs a lot, but likes to run half-marathons. The other guy asked exactly how long is a half-marathon, and he replied 13.2 miles and I said, "Excuse me gentlemen, but I it is actually 13.1094 miles". (My memory at times can be photographic, so I could see the picture in my mind)
They looked at me sort of puzzled, and I told them to look it up if they doubted me.
The one guy whipped out his phone and looked it up, and sure as shit I was correct!
I walked out of the locker room that evening with my head held high, all thanks to some random Prof. from UCF!
This is chuckable ;D

In case you missed it a women was out riding her bike when she passed President Dickheads motorcade, so she flipped him off. A local cameraman happened to get the picture, and it went viral.
The lady ended up getting fired from her job, which is bullshit. Anyway you can read about it here.
She flipped off President Trump — and got fired from her government contracting job (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/she-flipped-off-president-trump--and-got-fired-from-her-government-contracting-job/2017/11/06/4cf1af9a-c2da-11e7-84bc-5e285c7f4512_story.html?utm_term=.6c5f40125783)
P.s. Should it be, 'President Dick-Head" three words or simply 'President Dickhead'?
^ And the executive dude did not get fired for his transgression. That sucks. Sounds every bit like another example of male chauvinism pigism (MCP).

This is a good scale to use if you are curious about where you fall on the philosophical scale. (I think No one will enjoy this)

In 1917, in the West, many people owned horses and a few rich people owned cars.
In 2017 most own cars and the rich iwn horses.
You could say that the stables have been turned - into garages.

Things that make me chuckle are cartoons like the one above.. I suspect that is one of the Far Side types.
More than a chuckle is a loud outbreak of laughter from humorous tales such as the one about the Pumpkin episode in another thread. I'm still chuckling about that one.

So this sign that is posted on a library door made me both smile and chuckle, and I have to say that this "kat" named "Max" sounds like a pretty cool "kat"...
Now please, I don't want everyone here thinking that I love "kats" all of the sudden, I will concede that out of the millions, and millions, and millions, and millions of "evil kats" in the world there may be one or two nice ones who exist, probably they have dog hearts, maybe some type of reincarnation mistake? IDK
Anyway I like Max...also this sign could almost be a children's book couldn't it?
I mean the entire story is right there.
(https://i.imgur.com/I0idtvR.jpg)
^^^ that's adorable. I think I would like Max :snicker:
Max might be an intellectual cat 'cause he wants to be in the library.
This has me chuckling, snickering, chortling, hee-hawing, tittering, cackling like Mags, tee-heeing and smiling all at once.

I have come to an amicable agreement with my new neighbour, when I thump on the floor at 11pm he tries to moderate his laughter and voice level!
However, I would not complain about the shrieks and giggles when the kid is there, they need quality time together. And it always goes quiet from about 9pm anyway when she visits.
Some idiots in cars with audio systems that have more output power than the engine also tend to try to dominate the audiosphere! We have one across the road unfortunately. Plays "Techno" (I think that's was it's called), repetitive thumping stuff that sounds wholly, but poorly, computer generated.

Not allergic, I grew up in a family were "music" consisted solely of father listening to "Sing Something Simple" or "The Black and White Minstrel Show" on the radio. No noise was allowed when father was reading or watching TV. Most of the time I was either outside or reading or making something.
Then I joined the RAF and music was not allowed in barracks unless all willingly agreed to it. I just never got to appreciate mudic as a constsnt companion. Looking at my miserly CD collection (all 10 of them) it is mainly classics and folk - Richard Straus, Hoost, Verdi, Dvorak, Vaughan Williams, a local "classical" composer (Robert Bruce), Stephane Grappelli Celtic Classics, The Bucket Band . . . Think I have lost a few somewhere, sure I had more folk and jazz.
But, judging by the dust on top of them, they have not been played in years! Rather listen to "speech radio" when working, and silence when reading. Hate loud noises, voices, music, radio, cars, motorbikes etc strongly. Only time I appreciated it was in a Leicester Square cinema for an esrly plsying of "2001: a Space Odessey" with the Straus "World Theme" belting out with enough power to get your diaphragm resonating!

A moth goes into a podiatrist's office, and the podiatrist's office says, "What seems to be the problem, moth?"
The moth says "What's the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I don't even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness.

And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch... I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I... that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn't such a coward, then perhaps...perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all...Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I'm a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I'm not feeling good.
And so the doctor says, "Moth, man, you're troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?"
And the moth says, "'Cause the light was on."

Conversation heard, between two elderlyish men (from their voices), hidden from me by a wall:
"Well your's is certainly stiffer than mine, can I have a go with it?"
"OK, but watch it, the head's a bit wobbly!"
On rounding the end of the wall I saw they were preoaring to brush the thawing snow off their paths . . .

I was suffering problems with my tablet earlier, every time that I used my stylus to type "m" the screen dimmed momentarily and the keyboard disappeared. "Oh, oh," thought I, "is this a mischievous virus or something?"
But no, it was entirely due to me trying to be clever - not always a good thing. To "park" the stylus when carrying the tablet around i placed a small, flat magnet under the cover of the spine of the tablet case. Then I put another, cylindrical one in the tube of the stylus so it "sticks" to the case..
Last night I changed to a new stylus and inserted the magnet into its tube. But did not bother putting in the rolled up bit of paper to keep it up near the clip. Close to the position of the letter "m" on the keyboard is the magnet sensor that switches the tablet to sleep mode when the case is closed . . .

Reminds me of a story I heard about a company data center. This was back when they ran those huge reel-to-reel tape machines for data storage. Seems every afternoon, all of the machines would stop and unload their tapes. Really had the programmers baffled. Until they actually visited the machines in the afternoon to watch first-hand. As they were trying to diagnose the problem, the sun was setting. The light came through the window, hit the optical tape sensors, and all the machines stopped and unloaded. So, the solution to the problem was to install blinds!

Yeah, way back in those days a faulty chip or other semiconductor caused our brand new PDP11 to throw a series of wobblies every day just after lunch. An astute engineer time plotted the wobblies and noticed that they synced with the sun - starting a little later each day. Bands of light passed through ventilation slots and over the faulty component
They had fun convincing the supplier of the fault because the weather changed. Then someone used a powerful UV lamp to simulate the sun, whilst their technician was present, and - glitch!

I wish I could say that I interpreted it that way after reading Hermes' comment but alas, that is not true. :P

I don't think I had a comma between big and fat, so the meaning was different.

Yeah, I would have thought it a concert (or something from a sc-fi horror film) without the text. Even knowing it still slides back to "concert" in my mind if I cover the text!
Minds can be very persistent (insistent?) in interpreting and holding onto "familiar" or "expected" images!

The Difference Between Men and Women
Let's say a guy named Fred is attracted to a woman named Martha. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is seeing anybody else.
And then, one evening when they're driving home, a thought occurs to Martha, and, without really thinking, she says it aloud: "Do you realize that, as of tonight, we've been seeing each other for exactly six months?"
And then, there is silence in the car.
To Martha, it seems like a very loud silence. She thinks to herself: I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he's been feeling confined by our relationship; maybe he thinks I'm trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn't want, or isn't sure of.
And Fred is thinking: Gosh. Six months.
And Martha is thinking: But, hey, I'm not so sure I want this kind of relationship either. Sometimes I wish I had a little more space, so I'd have time to think about whether I really want us to keep going the way we are, moving steadily towards, I mean, where are we going? Are we just going to keep seeing each other at this level of intimacy? Are we heading toward marriage? Toward children? Toward a lifetime Together? Am I ready for that level of commitment? Do I really even know this person?
And Fred is thinking: ...so that means it was...let's see...February when we started going out, which was right after I had the car at the dealer's, which means...lemme check the odometer...Whoa! I am way overdue for an oil change here.
And Martha is thinking: He's upset. I can see it on his face. Maybe I'm reading this completely wrong. Maybe he wants more from our relationship, more intimacy, more commitment; maybe he has sensed - even before I sensed it - that I was feeling some reservations. Yes, I bet that's it. That's why he's so reluctant to say anything about his own feelings. He's afraid of being rejected.
And Fred is thinking: And I'm gonna have them look at the transmission again. I don't care what those morons say, it's still not shifting right. And they better not try to blame it on the cold weather this time. What cold weather? It's 87 degrees out, and this thing is shifting like a garbage truck, and I paid those incompetent thieves $600.
And Martha is thinking: He's angry. And I don't blame him. I'd be angry, too. I feel so guilty, putting him through this, but I can't help the way I feel. I'm just not sure.
And Fred is thinking: They'll probably say it's only a 90-day warranty...scumballs.
And Martha is thinking: Maybe I'm just too idealistic, waiting for a knight to come riding up on his white horse, when I'm sitting right next to a perfectly good person, a person I enjoy being with, a person I truly do care about, a person who seems to truly care about me. A person who is in pain because of my self-centered, schoolgirl romantic fantasy.
And Fred is thinking: Warranty? They want a warranty? I'll give them a warranty. I'll take their warranty and stick it right up their...
"Fred," Martha says aloud.
"What?" says Fred, startled.
"Please don't torture yourself like this," she says, her eyes beginning to brim with tears. "Maybe I should never have...oh dear, I feel so..."(She breaks down, sobbing.)
"What?" says Fred.
"I'm such a fool," Martha sobs. "I mean, I know there's no knight. I really know that. It's silly. There's no knight, and there's no horse."
"There's no horse?" says Fred.
"You think I'm a fool, don't you?" Martha says.
"No!" says Fred, glad to finally know the correct answer.
"It's just that...it's that I...I need some time," Martha says. (There is a 15-second pause while Fred, thinking as fast as he can, tries to come up with a safe response. Finally he comes up with one that he thinks might work.)
"Yes," he says. (Martha, deeply moved, touches his hand.)
"Oh, Fred, do you really feel that way?" she says.
"What way?" says Fred.
"That way about time," says Martha.
"Oh," says Fred. "Yes." (Martha turns to face him and gazes deeply into his eyes, causing him to become very nervous about what she might say next, especially if it involves a horse. At last she speaks.)
"Thank you, Fred," she says.
"Thank you," says Fred.
Then he takes her home, and she lies on her bed, a conflicted, tortured soul, and weeps until dawn, whereas when Fred gets back to his place, he opens a bag of Doritos, turns on the TV, and immediately becomes deeply involved in a rerun of a college basketball game between two South Dakota junior colleges that he has never heard of. A tiny voice in the far recesses of his mind tells him that something major was going on back there in the car, but he is pretty sure there is no way he would ever understand what, and so he figures it's better if he doesn't think about it.
The next day Martha will call her closest friend, or perhaps two of them, and they will talk about this situation for six straight hours. In painstaking detail, they will analyze everything she said and everything he said, going over it time and time again, exploring every word, expression, and gesture for nuances of meaning, considering every possible ramification. They will continue to discuss this subject, off and on, for weeks, maybe months, never reaching any definite conclusions, but never getting bored with it either.
Meanwhile, Fred, while playing racquetball one day with a mutual friend of his and Martha's, will pause just before serving, frown, and say: "Norm, did Martha ever own a horse?"
And that's the difference between men and women.

I liked it too JJ. I have long contended that woman's brain operates on DC current and men's brain is an AC circuit.
That reminds that I must also have my oil changed soon.
That guy is lucky to get out of the transmission shop for $600. My Honda Element suddenly refused to let me move the shift lever out of Park position. I had to use a screwdriver to move the over ride mechanism that locks the thing in park, It is a solenoid that must be energized to release the shift lever. The solenoid circuit is wired in parallel with with the brake light circuit. The Honda dealer said that it could cost as much as $1800 to fix the problem. I fixed the damned problem for a dollar and twenty cents. The brake pedal has an extension that operates the brake light switch when the pedal is pushed.. The extension has a little plastic pad between the extension and the brake light switch. The little plastic pad had fallen off or deteriorated in such a way that it did not actuate the brake switch and therefore not the shift lever solenoid. I put in a new plastic pad in about two minutes. ..............Hey this is supposed to be a makes you chuckle thread. ............................................
Friend wife took her Toyota Prius to the dealer to have the oil changed. The service department, looking for things to charge exorbitant amounts for, pulled the cabin air filter out and showed it to her. Filthy. I had instructed her to not let them sell her a new cabin filter. It was so dirty that she said OK change the filter. No telling whether it was even the filter out of her car or a filter from the local scrap yard. She said; how much? They said $29.95. When the itemized bill came, the filter was billed at $25 plus $15 for labor. MFers took advantage of a woman as they usually do. It takes maybe two minutes to replace the fucking filter....it is behind the glove case, easy to access. .....The filter costs less than ten dollars at the local auto parts store. That ain't all. The synthetic oil is billed at $5.85 per quart. The thieving bastards charge $11.50 labor to change the damned oil., $3.00 for disposal, and $2.50 for shop supplies....I presume that the $2.50 is for the paper towels and soap that they used they used to wash their hands. One oil change and a new cabin filter....out the door....$105. I am not chuckling but I promise to assume a better attitude in the future. Well maybe not at the auto dealers service department.
The button on the brake switch fell apart on my acura too. I replaced it with a penny held in place with a piece of scotch tape. I have the button and should probably put it in soon. Not sure how long the tape will hold up...
Hondas are strange vehicles. In so many ways they're practical, reliable, and easy to maintain. Their quirks are just frigging strange though. Why on earth do they drill a hole in the brake pedal assembly just big enough for the switch plunger to pass through? Why in the hell do you have to replace wheel bearings just to replace a broken wheel stud? And those damn flathead screws that they use on brake rotors should be banned worldwide!
Oh well, the honda crowd can still laugh about their vehicles bring a whole heap better than any domestic while still being much cheaper than a Toyota.

^ :lol: No cone shall stand in the way of this mighty machine!
^

Beware! The cone crushing colossus cometh!
Reminds me of the time, back when my sister had just learnt how to drive, she tried parking a car in a space flanked on either side by cones. She quickly succeeded in toppling one over and dragged it back and forward as she maneuvered. It took a few attempts. The scene was hilarious because she didn't notice that she had run over a cone, and would every now and then happily grin at me as she went back and forth.
'Mission accomplished', she said as she stepped out.
I enjoyed laughing at her expense that day. :P
I saw a young woman looking at her really shiny car, her ptide and joy, with a really worried expression, she looked almist in tears. I asked her whst was wrong.
"It makes this terrible noise when I drive it, has done since I parked it over there." "Over there" was next to a bit of resurfacing work. With small cones.
I got her to drive the car slowly, terrible grinding noise. Knelt down snd looked undernesth.
Yup, she had run over a cone and it was jammed into the transmission tunnel! This was a few decades ago. Pinched a bit of rope from the pile of the workers' kit, passed it under the car in front of the cone, took the ends out the back and tied them to the towball on my car. Took two goes st that to pull it out. My similar happening was a thickish twig; once I realised what it was I just drove on until it wore away and dropped out - collecting strange looks on the way.
My friend just told me this hilarious story and good thing it was over the internet because I was laughing my ass off behind the screen.
So she says was not doing so well and she had to excommunicate her mom. Because her mom got drunk, stole a car, and drove through a brick wall and into another car. And the brick wall was holding back lots of stuff already. So she drove through a brick wall, through everything it was retaining, through another brick wall, and into another car, and had to be lifted off of the other car to be towed away. LOL

Hah! I got it wrong, shoulda been "parabolic"! Though a hyperbolic reflector dish would sort of serve.
But why do these things suddenly occur to me days later and at 2 o-bloody-clock in the a-bloody-m!?

One time I was so messed up I slept in the woods with a blanket down the road from my parents house after they told me to come home.
Watching a few minutes of Jaws, specifically the part where the Orca is broken down, and had a good laugh when Richard Dreyfus called out "The injectors were scored when salt water got into the fuel." That ties in nicely with the hacker siliness in the drone thread. Of course when it was time to chase the big fish the boat fired right up...

I was watching that earlier as well and I was trying to figure out why there was a rivalry between Cooper and the Fisherman. Maybe it's outdated for me but I didn't see any point to that.
Also the big fish was smarter than the fisherman at fishing. Instead of wearing the shark out by letting him draw out the line, he drew it out then went under the boat to make the fisherman pull the line in. And he even alludes to this when he says the shark is smart but he keeps pulling the line in as fast as he can. I'm also pretty sure that's not how you would fish for a shark anyways. Sharks won't get tired as fast as a smaller fish.

It's lampooning the 60s-70s era of superheroes where all superheroes had to be the "white bread" version of themselves. Where they are morally and politically correct due to republican demands.
Ah. Republicans. 'Nuff said.
My friend and I seem to have developed an arbitrary value, or cost, system. Something like, here at least, a "Wales" is a unit of area, "An area the equivalent of seven Wales' is deforested globally every ten years."
Ours are based on food and wine, "Not bad for a bottle worth," (£7ish) "Cost me three lunches." (£30ish).

Quote"We're going back to the 17th century. (http://we-are-rogue.tumblr.com/post/144917670932/in-which-the-highwayman-captain-dudley-meets-the) There was an English highwayman called Captain Dick Dudley. I think you're going to like Dick Dudley. He was hiding in Rome, and while he was hiding from the law enforcement officers, he bought a dead prostitute's pubic wig, a merkin, from an anatomist. "He dried it well and combed it out," that's in inverted commas cause it's a quotation, "and sold it to the Pope." He sold it to the Pope, it could have been Clement X or Innocent XI, as a piece of St Peter's beard. Popes like relics.
He's a great man, I like Dick Dudley. The Pope put it on his mouth, kissed it multiple times and appeared to be thrilled with his purchase. Dick was paid 100 ducats and he immediately skedaddled it out of Rome before anybody caught up with him."

. . . or get you amusedly confused. Any ladies out there that can help me l wonder?
I washed some brand new sheets today, didn't read the instructions of course - I'm a bloke! Just gave them a short wash s8nce they had not been used yet. They are still hanging on the lines in the bathroom and noticed the little label and read it:
"Wash inside out, iron only on reverse side . . ."
OK, the second bit I can do, iron it on the side where the hems (?) roll over (yeah, like I iron sheets!) But, er, how do I turn the sheets "inside out" before loading them into the washing machine please?
:grin:
PS: the label might work on cotton sweatshirts, zipped up cotton fleeces, even cotton shirts or blouses - trying to save pennies by making one label not quite fit all? My washing machine manual tries to cover three similar models. But it tells me to undo three screws to remove the bottom plate to gain access to the filter. Uh-uh, mine unclips.

That doesn't make me chuckle, more of a cringe.
The idea of attracting someone with your car seems crass to me.
Is that a Prius? I don't know why they can't be made look better for the $ they cost.
Still, I think I'd prefer people attracted to a Prius than a Mr Desperate Mobile.
Dogs are supposed to be good for meeting people, dog walkers seem a lot less desperate anyway and desperate is unattractive.
Bugatti - but, yeah, I would not wsnt to know any woman who was attracted to me only by my car. But then, I am no sex machine out for quick lays!
"Dogs are supposed to be good for meeting people,"
I can attest to that. I walk my dogs regularly and the other dog walkers I meet are almost exclusively nice people like me.

Glad you added "almost", Tank, exclude the owner of the Rottweiler that bit me! But yes, I agree, 99% . . . My friend Jane's 10 minute walks usually last at least twice that with all the greeting and chatting. And if there are kids around taking rations and water might be a good idea.
I don't have any dogs these days, although I live with a dog and two cats at my son's home. Generally, I have found the dogs I have had in the past were good judges of the character of the people I've met when out for a walk. If the dog didn't like them I usually found I didn't either. The dog I live with these days - Rogue, a black cocker spaniel - not so much. She loves everybody! LOL
Bluenose; I agree that dogs are generally good at assessing the intent of the stranger. My big Irish setter, Molly, was the sweetest girl n town but when I was approached by a stranger that Molly did not like she curled her lips back and got herself between me and the stranger. . I learned that she was almost always right. My Bernese, Teddy, was equally shrewd about such things, He too was a gentle sweetheart but became dangerous if he thought that there was any threat to me. I often worked alone, except for Teddy, late in my machine shop that was in a seedy area of town. I never needed the shotgun that was nearby. When a ninety pound canine makes a growling sound like distant thunder.......few dared to challenge him.
Ha, Icarus, I get what you mean by the deep growl. Many years ago a friend of mine had a very large German shepherd named Carl. When anyone came to the door he would bark and growl with a sound that started about 30 feet underground. The thing was, although he sounded absolutely ferocious, if you simply said "Aww, what's the matter Carl?" he would turn into a little puppy dog wagging his tail! LOL

There is something top right, a bridge, railway or something? A flatbed truck would not be high enough.
I csn imagine it driving off a higher level then nose diving. The chances of it keeping balance at the speed it had to be doing though . . .

AS Dave mentioned I think the clue is in the bridge top right of the picture.

But how to get it on its tracks again without it hitting the bridge?
Aha! I didn't even notice whatever that is on the right. The hill caught all my attention.

Maybe a BIG excavator, or a crane. Either way once it's on its feet again it'd be a whole before it was safe to start and run. There would be a lot of oil in places it's not supposed to be and I could see either hydrolock or a runaway if it was started without at least sitting for a few days.

With wizard photo shop skill.
I had lunch in town today, my favourote Cajun chicken wrap and salad.
The wrap usually drips some of the lovelly oniony, garlicky, spicey dressing on the onions and peppers in it.
All the way, and at, home I seemed to smell something oniony, seemed to be everywhere. It was only just now I looked in the bathroom mirror and saw some of that dressing was on my moustache!
The source of the smell, and the smell of the sauce, was literally under my nose all the time.
Talking to my friend, Jane, on the phone someone called to deliver a bottle of vino in "payment" for a job I did for her. I told Jane we would share it in celebration when she moved back here, didn't want to drink it all at once myself. Jane said that I could always recork it and drink some tomorrow (I have a vacuum cork thingie.)
Reminded me of a lunch at work, a younger engineer asked, "How long does a bottle of wine last?"
Roger, our boss, said, "An hour," I added, "Maybe an hour and a half."
"No," the other said, "after you put the cork back in."
Roger and I looked, wide-eyed with shock, at each other and - in perfect unison - said, "Put the cork back in!?"
General laughter round the table.
It was as if rehearsed - but we found that we could also whistle together in near perfect harmony and timing - should have started a double act . . ,

If you want to keep a not-so-good bottle of wine fresh for a few days to be used for cooking purposes (coq au vin, perhaps), just float a tablespoon of salad oil on top and keep it in the fridge. Better than pouring it down the sink.

Ah! I would be happy to keep red cooking wine in the fridge but "sealing" it against over-oxidisation with oil is a new one on me. Have sealed hot "jarred" stuff (salsa rather than jam) with candle-wax before now, keeps out oxygen and bugs, is non-toxic and easyish to remove (especially just out of the fridge.).

Yes I have done this many times as well, but with the advent of screw cap fasteners for wine bottles, most wine keeps quite well in the fridge just by putting the lid back on. Of course, good quality drinking, as distinct from "cooking", wine never gets the opportunity...

Half a bottle of wine possibly has enough oxygen in it to give the wine a bitter taste after a while. Letting a good red wine "breathe" for a couple of hours or so can sweeten it, but then it starts turning into vinegar if it over oxydates.

Well, I've only ever done it with red wine I've been using for cooking. I don't use rubbish for cooking, but I don't use the best either. In any case the cooking wine has been fine for more cooking after at least a week. As for white wine I've happily kept it in the fridge for up to a coup[le of weeks with no appreciable change in drinking quality. All this is with screw caps, of course.
I have a gadget that is a vacuum pump that evacuates much of the oxygen from the partially filled bottle. It is seldom needed because it is frightfully bad manners to fail to finish a bottle of wine.

The problem with this is that the vacuum will reduce the concentration of the volatile components, many of which are responsible for the nose of the wine, or the top notes, as they are called in the fragrances industry.
Hermes, can I reconstitute the essence by placing the remainder in the micro wave? ;D

Sorry, Icarus, I missed your question before. No, once the volatiles are gone you can't recover them. Heating in a microwave will only cause further losses.

Yep, totally true.
Thanks Hermes. I had no illusions about reconstituting a delicate wine. Had I been thinking, I would have supposed that microwaving wine would be fatal to the essence.

Throw one cigarette out of the boat and make the boat a cigarette lighter!

Not only kids. On a course at a further education vocational college we were taught how to solve quadratic equations in year three.
What we were not taught was how to recognise that a practical problem had a quadratic solution and how to parse it out - the form the exam questions were in.
That was the year only two in a class of 12 passed practical maths (one had a higher qualification and the other was redoing that year) - and no appeal was allowed.
Posting that last, for some reason that I cannot fathom, I was reminded of an utterly stupid rhyme that made us giggle insanely when I was about 10 yoa:
"The Yellow Rose of Texas and the Man from Laramie
Went to Davey Crocket's to have a cup of tea.
The tea was so delicious they had another cup
And left poor Davey Crocket to do the washing up."
The tune was, of course, "The Yellow Rose of Texas."

Not sure if this is the right place but it amused me.
Rocking and rolling, on a roller coaster, can be a cure for rocks in the kidneys! Lots of sideways and negative/positive g forces on a ride, especially on a fullish bladder, "massages" the kidneys, mobilises kidney stones and causes them to be more likely to be passed into the bladder. Just remember your diaper and take prophylactic pain killers in case they pass all the way out!
Seems the back seats in the car are most efficacious.

Back seat for me, then. I've never cared for roller coasters. Then again, I've never had a kidney stone. From the effects they have on people I know who do have them, I consider that a good thing.

^Escher must have had a fertile (or warped) mind.
He was something of a genius in my eyes - I get far more pleasure out of his work that that of many conventional artists. But I like Dürer as well and he can be very dark.
Just realised that I prefer monochrome to colour in art (apart from in abstract patterns and 'simple' images), wonder what that means?
Mathematicians have talked to Escher about symmetry, claiming that they have learned from him.
Dave, as far as the b&w pics, I recall that it is claimed that most adults dream in b&w. I know that that is not true for me, though. Do you dream in b&w? Or am I assuming that "monochrome" only means b&w?

Can't actually remember whether I dream in B&W or not! I can think in 3D colour images, even when planning thst which is not yet there.
Monochrome is taken to be B&W but it can actually be tones of a singke colour. Many of da Vinci's sketches are in red chalk, I like those aldo. Posdibly, for me, colour distracts from the substance of some things, though it can add an extra dimension to others. I am by no means a minimalist but prefer plain white walls with mainly B&W pictures. Though colour does exist, my fun wall has coloured cartoons and also one piece of my own few attempts at art, 'Primary 1'. 'Primary 2' needs maths and woodwork to achieve and I have not yet got around to it.
Red white and blue predominate, though not for patriotic reasons! Can't find much stuff in vibrant yellow. Black figures (in bedding, along with red).

Primary 1
Looks like it needs a clean and some maitenance. Each section is a little shorter than A4.
(Green is NOT a primary colour and has no place in my scheme of things, happy to enjoy it outside!!)

I definitely dream in full, vibrant colour. Your art reminds me of Mondrian and Malevich. Are you familiar with the colour experiments of Josef Albers when he was lecturing at the Bauhaus and later in the USA?
I love Mondrian's art! I'll look up Albers a little later today. As soon as I finish my breakfast, I'm off to my wood carving class.

This doesn't make sense to me. Colours are some sort of qualitative 'brain language' that don't actually exist in the world outside our bodies. In other words, our eyes pick up light frequencies and 'translate' them into the colours we experience. Since the brain makes use of colours during wakefulness, why not during sleep as well?

How I know with certainty that I dream in colour is that I have had numerous dreams where I am working on very large scale paintings in a style similar to those of Barnett Newman and Ellsworth Kelly. In my dreams I see myself planning and painting those big colour fields of pure colour in paintings of about 3m wide by 2m high. I can see the vivid reds, blues, and greens clearly in my dreams.

Now, do people like neuroscientisrs and artists (and design technicians) use similar parts of their brains to create and "project" mental images I wonder? I have to "see" what I want mentally before I can create it in the physical world. Does a brainworker or surgeon build a mental "map", but like the others, adjusting it to fit reality (or final form for the creative jobs) as the work progresses?
But art and engineering tend to evolve the concept physically as progress is made, the medical worker has to evolve the theory to suit the physical facts,.

I can only speak for myself. Something (a shape, a piece of music, a texture) triggers a flash or a mental image that I then feel compelled to create. I guess one can call it inspiration. But during the creation process serendipity can play a big part. I enjoy and exploit "happy accidents".

OK, I went to Wikipedia, and I have a correction to make in the sense of quantity. There, the claim is that some people (~25%) claim to sometimes dream in black and white. I should do a little homework before posting. I do not ascribe to the theory that B&W TV causes this, because we didn't have a color TV until the mid-'60s when I was a teenager. I guess it would be true if I was dreaming about a cartoon I saw on Saturday morning as a child, because that cartoon was B&W! I don't know where I read this information originally; it has to be about 50 YA, though. I remember it because I paid attention to my dreams to see if it was true, after reading it. Of course, I was at an age where most dreaming was in color, anyway!

I have to "see" what I want mentally before I can create it in the physical world. Does a brainworker or surgeon build a mental "map", but like the others, adjusting it to fit reality (or final form for the creative jobs) as the work progresses?
But art and engineering tend to evolve the concept physically as progress is made, the medical worker has to evolve the theory to suit the physical facts,.
I can only speak for myself. Something (a shape, a piece of music, a texture) triggers a flash or a mental image that I then feel compelled to create. I guess one can call it inspiration. But during the creation process serendipity can play a big part. I enjoy and exploit "happy accidents".
Trsnsfering this to a new thread.

...I recall that it is claimed that most adults dream in b&w. ...
This doesn't make sense to me. Colours are some sort of qualitative 'brain language' that don't actually exist in the world outside our bodies. In other words, our eyes pick up light frequencies and 'translate' them into the colours we experience. Since the brain makes use of colours during wakefulness, why not during sleep as well?
How I know with certainty that I dream in colour is that I have had numerous dreams where I am working on very large scale paintings in a style similar to those of Barnett Newman and Ellsworth Kelly. In my dreams I see myself planning and painting those big colour fields of pure colour in paintings of about 3m wide by 2m high. I can see the vivid reds, blues, and greens clearly in my dreams.
Do you paint while awake as well? :tellmemore:
Yes, I have done and sold a fair amount of painting and sculpture. I was even offered an exhibition by one of the Left Bank commercial galleries in Paris once, but because of the war situation in Beirut, where I was living, I couldn't do it. These days I'm doing more sculptural work.
That's so cool! I didn't know you were that accomplished. 8)

One of the Star Trek books was about the Klingons. Having glanced through it in the bookshop I never bought it. Every 20th word was in Klingon and, hitting something that you could not "pronounce" mentally was like hitting a mental brick wall - my brain just stopped.
Finding an 'alien" word like, "trnsttn," the brain can substitute "trainstation" as a pronouncable 'mis-translation' to be getting on with. However, something like "gbkz'tg" offers no way out for me without some time cogitating!

Set theory at its finest.
This is so silly but it's gotten me wiping away tears!
I thought I was hearing voices . . . Oh, no, not another problem!
The on/off switch in the bathroom radio had, all on its own, all of a sudden, decided to become a permanently "on" switch. I had been for a pee earlier but never turn the radio on for that unless a fave prog is on. No fave progs on Saturday afternoon.

There are only three physical things I know about you. You're female, consider yourself above average height and you're about 30 years old.
I have a strict no photo policy. You needn't worry. It will almost feel like I'm not even there.

I find bats very appealing and would like to keep one as a pet. I wonder what that says about me.

Yes, Chris O'Donnell's costume was quite controversial, but of course the gays loved it!
I received notice today that my Twitter account was suspended for violating "Twitter Rules".
Specifically:
Violating our rules against abuse and harassment.
You may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so. This includes wishing or hoping that someone experiences physical harm.
All because I Tweeted the following reply to an add for the new Rambo Movie.
@RamboMovie Just die already...ugh.
Strange because it is afterall just a movie, and not a person I was directing that tweet at. In fact I was actually referring to the Rambo character when I tweeted my reply, who is also just a fictionalized character.
My guess is they have an algorithm to pick up on these type of tweets and they didn't actually look at the content of the message, but who knows, maybe the promoter saw my tweet and reported me (Or more likely, some diehard Rambo fan who is also a Trump supporter and gun nut saw my tweet, and was like, "Hey. Rambo is an American Hero, you can't talk shit about him"!
Anyway I contested the ban, I could have just deleted the tweet, and my account would be reactivated in 12 hours, but I wanted to see how far they would take this.
My twitter account was also suspended. I use the account only perhaps one time in three weeks and I almost never post anything. No way I have violated the rules therefore............... the Twitter gods can stick it into an anatomical place where the sun does not shine.

There's that, but I don't find the typical "model" body type to be eye catching. Sure, I can see that she's pretty but a glance is enough to confirm that. I generally don't find women attractive until I've at least spoken with them.

I was never that mature. I used to just chase the pretty faces and good, smooth bodies. My older, usual female, acquaintances provided all the intellectual stimulation I needed.
(https://i.imgur.com/nXeu3bA.jpg)
It's not about maturity, it's about enjoying another person's company. I would much rather spend time, even just a little while, with a girl who is beautiful than one who is probably just pretty. Even the pretty girls can wind up looking downright hideous once they show you who they really are.
The two most beautiful women I know would probably never win any traditional beauty contests. They don't have the tiny waist and properly proportioned hips and bust. They carry a bit of extra weight and are self conscious about it. They shouldn't be though, both of them are drop dead gorgeous.
For the record, I liked the look of them before I got to know them too...

;D I think that's funny! My wife went ::)
i get great amuzement from my daughters. whenever i wear a new shirt or pair of trouserz i leave all the tags on them, which mortifiez them. i have no issues at all looking like a moron in public, but they cant stand it anz sneak up on me to rip off the labelz.
a week or two back i had a double- header, tags on my trousers and my shirt both, at the zame time. i was saving the moment for the girls and went to tbe grocery ztore, where i casually walked by a woman and her teenage daughter.
as i looked over the floured tortillas, i heard a soft voice behind me
excuse me sir, just let me get these for you
and i felt my tags being gently disengaged from my clothing
anyway i lost my tags to a very nice woman, while her daughter (who probably instigated the raid) hung back trying not to look scandalized
and a good time was had by all, or at least two of those prezent who were not teenagerz
This is so funny :lol:

Yeesh. When I was in the US Navy, I was training in Illinois for my trade. One of my fellow sailors and I went to his family residence in May. We were driving through Iowa when the snow was melting, and I had to ask (of course), "What is that stench!?" It was the smell of all that pig shit thawing after a long winter. :bleh:

I see that all the time. The gloves give a false sense of security, IMHO. People wearing gloves do the exact same dirty behaviors... Touch contaminated things, then their face, then your food, then their foot, then the door handle. Good thing they're wearing gloves!
I remember when I was in the US Navy, and in the chow line, there was a guy pulling bread from the loaves and picking his nose part of the time. He was issued gloves, but simply picked his nose with the gloves on. They were the thick butyl ones like you would use for working with harsh chemicals. SMH

wait, sorry, that's my favorite niece.
my daughter is actually not a lesbian, but she tells people that when they hit on her at work so that they leave her alone.
i'm going to have to explain to her that claiming to be a lesbian only discourages heterosexual people, but i suppoise she'll figure that out eventually.
maybe i'll just leave this one alone.

I suspect many of us made those mistakes.
One of my meditation teachers told a group of us today in a video chat that in this time of Coronavirus staying at home we should focus on inner peace. One of the ways to achieve this is to always finish things we start, and as we all could use more calm in our lives especially in these stressful times I looked through my house to find little projects or other minor things I'd started, but hadn't yet finished.
So I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumun srciptuns, an a box a chocletz.

If you put lots of stuff in there, the spinach disappearing isn't so much an issue. I use bacon. :smilenod: YMMV

I blame those pesky vegetarian house elves, always stealing socks to stuff with spinach leaves just before disappearing into an alternate dimension. ::)
It's explained in "Lord Demon" by Zelazny and Lindskold. The socks and hangers go to their own planes of existence.
As far as the spinach and bacon, the difference is that spinach is mostly water.

So is the spinach, but the fat and protein do a better job of holding the water. Also less water in the bacon.

How giraffe evolution really happened.
That top one. It looks like it bites. Yep. Totally bites. Good thing they evolved, yes? :???:
My alternate theory though, there was once an spotted horse with a really short, fat neck and legs, what went for a drink in a river. A croc grabbed its head and pulled, but its legs got stuck in the terrain aaand... They stretched while growing thinner. Then,
giraffe. And that, boys and girls, is how evolution works. :smilenod:
...Totally not ripped off either. A
original theory, that. :grin:

Sounds legit. :grin:
That first giraffe kind of represents what our Prince Charles Cavalier Spaniel looks like. I call her "coyote" sometimes, because she has these really long skinny legs, where the spaniels have maybe 40% that length of leg. I suspect that a coyote jumped the fence to breed with the mother. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

The theory of evolution -- from someone who was six years old.
My friends found a kitten and brought it over to show me. I forget the conversation but I'll never forget my reply.
"Yes, kittens grow up to be cats. Then the cats grow up to be tigers and the tigers grow up to be lions." I was confident that was how things worked. My friends believed me and said, "Wow!" Yes, we had a miniature lion in our grasp.

I don't watch a lot of TV or movies, so I have no idea what or who those beings are. But it must be a US-produced thing, given the gun violence. Turning the book title with the "stupid gun" shot is funny, though.

This morning I was helping my mom out with downloading PDF zip files, extracting and splitting those PDFs and organising her PC files so she can find those PDFs in the future.
I talked her through step by step and showed her how to do those things. She did it herself a couple of times and so I decided to head back to the other room and work on my computer.
Two minutes later and I hear her calling me. I head back to her room and she's staring at the screen like a deer at incoming headlights. Utterly frightened.
I look at the screen and see that she put 139 loose PDF files in her desktop area.
She turns those frightened eyes at me.
"I don't know what I did, now I can't find anything anymore!"
We had a good laugh and I showed her how to open the file explorer so she could organise all those desktop files more easily.

i have added a new scar
i was trying to remove a stuck bearing race from the headstock of an old motorcycle frame imworking on. tapping didnt do it so i flipped it upzide down and applied heat from a propane torch.
not wearing a shirt, itz about 35 C even without the torch
when suddenly the frame flipped and planted the hot necktube right into my solar plexus
no blisters or fluid. the hot frame tube gave me a p erfectly dry third degree burn in the zhape of a perfect half circle twoinches across, then cauterized the injury and turned the excesz skin to ash.
it would have been nicer if id gotten a perfect circle but im not intending to revizit the experien e to complete one.
so well see how it ends up in a week or so. i often discover cuts and bruizes after the fact that i dindnt notice while obtaining them, but i noticed tbis right away
Are congratulations in order? :D That must have hurt!
Burns like a bitch! That's gonna leave a mark. Sorry to see this. I despise getting burnt.
i don't mind getting burnt, within reason
i had my first third degree burns when i was a kid on my foot when i got pinned under my first motorcycle, a 1962 triumph trophy. wonderful machine.
my introduction to mortality
what i hate are cuts. every time i slice myself somewhere doing something stupid i stop to reconsider my life
but easy burns dont slow me down.
i havent broken enough bones to have a valid opinion on that
lol
but those i did break were all in motorcycle accidents
i guess theres some sort of pattern here i should learn from

It's a sex thing. Commonly called BDSM. One person takes a dominant (Dom) role and another a submissive (Sub) role.
In general the Dom controls everything, including punishment of the Sub. Things like whipping, melted wax, paddles, bindings... etc. are applied to the Sub by the Dom. However it doesn't have to include punishment, the main thing is that the Sub does whatever the Dom commands.
There are safe words involved in case the Dom takes things too far (or even if the Sub does). The roles Dom and Sub are not necessarily gendered.
There, the beans are spilled.

We don't have any "Dom's Subs" here, but we do have Subway. I guess I'll never look at Subway the same again.

:grin:
:d'oh!: I searched the emoji page 3 few times, and couldn't find this! :dominatrix: I see it now. The beans were being tipped but not spilled with that reference.
;D

It's a sex thing. Commonly called BDSM. One person takes a dominant (Dom) role and another a submissive (Sub) role.
In general the Dom controls everything, including punishment of the Sub. Things like whipping, melted wax, paddles, bindings... etc. are applied to the Sub by the Dom. However it doesn't have to include punishment, the main thing is that the Sub does whatever the Dom commands.
There are safe words involved in case the Dom takes things too far (or even if the Sub does). The roles Dom and Sub are not necessarily gendered.
There, the beans are spilled.
Thanks, Davin, for your disturbing display of in-depth knowledge of the subject.

Thank you, for the explanation, Davin.

Maybe that's why the cat also has such bloodshot eyes...the artist squinted too hard and in anger decided to give the cat some red eyes as well. :P

It's strange how there is all this pomp and excitement over fashions like this but one never sees them on the street. They are simply ridiculous.
^ That is some weird shit Silver. I am beginning to worry about the strange behavior of my fellow humans.
Those poor stick-figure women who can't even walk properly in some of those shoes! They get paid a bundle for what they do, though. I wouldn't be able to carry the weeds on my head with any measure of aplomb, either. Oh, well.
Have you made your choice of items to add to your wardrobe, Silver?
These far-out creations are just meant as playful displays of a designer's creativity and not meant to be taken seriously as real outfits to wear on the street. Some elements, though, like colours or small details, may appear in the designer's haute couture or pret-a-porter lines.

artists are weird.

IMO the best type is the Jekyll and Hyde artist: out of control explosions of creativity when the hidden and sometimes repressed inner artist is unleashed to do as they please.

i don't know who ever thought that making cheese with fly maggots in it was an attractive idea, but there's a whole folk industry for it.
Casu martzu is created by leaving whole pecorino cheeses outside with part of the rind removed to allow the eggs of the cheese fly Piophila casei to be laid in the cheese. A female P. casei can lay more than 500 eggs at one time.[4][5] The eggs hatch and the larvae begin to eat through the cheese.[6] The acid from the maggots' digestive system breaks down the cheese's fats,[6] making the texture of the cheese very soft; by the time it is ready for consumption, a typical Casu Martzu will contain thousands of these maggots.[7]
sort of like eating caviar, you know, except moving.

I saw a show many years ago about this very thing. The whole town would eat the stuff. I thought it was gross.
Until I saw the discussion of what is in it, the music alone was enough to keep me off it. Flies are a useful and necessary part of our environment. I draw the line about consuming them, except in the case of potential starvation.
it doesn't look good to me, but then neither does sushi. the vivisection kind.
it's interesting. people eat all kinds of bugs-- shrimp, grassho5ppers, beetles, grubs, and so on.
but nobody seems to eat flies or fly larvae. i wonder why. maybe an association with decomposition.
It's very cruel to eat the poor little maggots.

I ate a piece of raw salmon once, offered to me by one of my co-workers at lunch one day. I was not impressed, but that's just a conditioning thing from my youth, I expect. I ate enough seriously burnt hamburger (and other meat) as a kid that I'm surprised that I don't have colon cancer. My mom was so afraid of trichinosis that she cooked the living shit out of meat, even if it wasn't pork.
As for flies, they usually start out on feces or rotting flesh, which has a serious bacterial load, and I can understand the reticence. Cleaned shrimp, and crickets, properly treated, don't present an ick factor for me.
that's got to be it with the flies.
the rest of the invertebrates are equally unpicky with their habits, but flies are more obvious.

I found it quite odd that very few (if any) on here were Republicans. Definitely not Trumpers.
Thank you for not forgetting me. :grin:
Well. It used to be, decades ago, that the "Lefties" were considered to be the "screwballs". I know that that was the case when I registered (Republican) to vote, in the '60s. Things have changed quite a bit, and so have I. Republicans espouse crazy policies these days, and while there is still some occasional crazy on the left, it's the better party to be aligned with now.
Well, I'm glad that we can choose from more than two political parties in the Netherlands and that we don't have a president. It does mean that the government is always a coalition, but that basically means that no party ever gains absolute power.

speaking of cheese i was reminded of thisotherone from germany somewhere. very local, like th ecazu marzu.
they make this cheese and roll it into a ball. then they drop it into a box full of some kind of mite. the mites eat the cheese and poop all over it. the poop causes the cheese to ferment and be very exclusive.
i can't help but think a lot of these european specialty foods originated durings famines, you know.
then there's the super expensive french cheese that has to be partially eaten by mice before being shipped to the auction house.
cheese people are weird.

"Pera" would mean "Pear" (I think in Spanish as well...Mags? :grin:)
In Portuguese, "Pera" can be shorthand for "Espera", which means "Wait". Again, I think it's similar in Spanish.

It's not that far from Portuguese, "esperança" is hope. "Ter esperança" is to hope (more literally translated as "to have hope"...).
I looked it up. Esperança, esperer etc. are derived from the Latin
spes, which is equivalent to the English "hope". This word also originated the verb
sperare.
As for anticipate, that comes from the Latin
ante (before) and
capere (take).
Esperanca mean hope.......One of my admired musicians is named Esperanza. Does that spelling translate to a Portuguese or Spanish word ?
I do not suppose that Esperanza Spalding is either Portuguese or Spanish, She is an attractive black lady with a lot of talent.

Not if they were brother and sister. ;D

well, i said i would never go back over the road zgain, but here is my current load of aluminium ingots, somr 13 of them, at 754 kilos each.
the oil field sand proved unprofitable so i am hauling steel plate to michigan, aluminum or steel coils east to pennsylvania, and then more steel back to ohio.
life is an odd thing.
this will work well after i teach my three bosses that it is not a good idea to want me drive to 91 hours per week when i am legal for only 70
I was at the bar recently (Drinking non-alcoholic drinks only of course) when this extremely attractive, and somewhat older woman sat down next to me.
We started to talk, and I was soon drawn to not only her wit and charm, but sophisticated style. As I said she was extremely attractive, I'm talking Hellen Mirren with a slight American, sexy, southern belle accent.
Things started to get flirtatious, and I soon realized she was coming on to me.
She then looked straight at me and asked if I wanted to go back to her place, and as she put it, "Explore our sexual deviancy together"!
I was taken aback by her forwardness, but she was so damn sexy and attractive that I found myself saying "Oh yes"!
She then leaned forward, and asked if I could guess her age. I didn't want to spoil things by guessing wrong, so I told her as a gentleman I would never assume a woman's age, but she looked right at me and said, "I'm 67...you still interested"?
I said, "Yes I am",... and commented to her how unbelievably beautiful she was!
She smiled, thanked me, and then asked me if I ever tried a "Johnny Walker Triple"?
"Is that some kind of drink", I said, and "no I haven't".
She then whispered in my ear, "It's not a drink, it's when a mother and daughter team up together and give a man a sexual adventure he'll never forget"!
"What do you think", she said, "Are you still interested"?
Now all I can imagine is how attractive this woman's daughter must be,...I mean she is stunning at 67, her daughter must be unbelievable!
I've never done anything like this before, and again before I knew it I said, "Oh yes, let's do this"!
She said, "Ok, let's go, I have a key to her place, she's at home,....I'll call her and let her know we are on our way"
We arrive at this expensive Town House, and as we are standing together at the door about to go in she leans over and gives me a long sensual kiss...then she whispers in my ear that I'm about to experience a once in a lifetime rapture of sexual abandonment that I'll never forget.
I'm so excited I can only smile back at her.
She opens the door with her key, and as we walk in she yells out, Mom we're here"!!!
Chris P. Bacon. :lol:
Poor thing.
Those are horrendous!

Gravity's Rainbow. :smokin cool:
I admit that despite having read a fair bit about WWII, I had not heard this one. According to one rather long-winded article (https://www.forces.net/heritage/history/did-allied-pilots-really-drop-fake-wooden-bombs-fake-wooden-decoy-airfields) I found, this story was around as early as 1940.
Quote[An] anecdote supporting the theory that wooden bombs were dropped on decoy airfields by Allied pilots comes from the diary of American journalist William L. Shirer, 'Berlin Diary: The Journal of a Foreign Correspondent 1934-1941'.
On November 27, 1940, he wrote of a "funny" story he had been told, saying:
"X ... says the British intelligence in Holland is working fine. Both sides in this war have built a number of dummy airdromes and strewn them with wooden planes.
"X says the Germans recently completed a very large one near Amsterdam.
"They lined up more than a hundred dummy planes made of wood on the field and waited for the British to come over and bomb them.
"Next morning the British did come. They let loose with a lot of bombs.
"The bombs were made of wood."

Every time I read the word chrétienne in a French text, I read it as cretin. It makes sense, I suppose.
:snicker1:
Ah, the French! They have the best language for swearing at people. Viciously and at length.
The Queen was once asked where she liked to spend her time. She replied that stables were good because they were the only place she went that didn't smell of new paint.
Apparently they asked her if they could use a double for her. She made it known she would like to do it herself. She kept it a total secret from everybody in her family.

That's amazing; I always assumed it was faked. She had a good sense of humour and must have enjoyed playing herself in the movie. She and Margaret were two of the more interesting members of the Royal Family.

The queue to see her coffin may reach 9 miles long. That is insane. She was obviously loved by many.
that is genuinely strange to me.
i wouldnt wait in line that long if it were me that was dead.
^ Agreed Billy.
:lol: That's right, he'd be at the head of the line!
:rofl:
You know what this reminds me of, for some reason? Warhammer 40K. The corpse Emperor. Also, North Korea. A person has to wonder if 40K universe may have borrowed a thing or two from them... Like people doing a pilgrimage to bow to a corpse. A magical sort-of alive corpse, to be sure, but a corpse none the less.
Mozart goes to heaven and God says: "You'll be the conductor of my celestial orchestra!"
Mozart says: "Thank you God but...what about Bach?"
And God responds: "I am Bach!"
