#1 is learning good for the future and knows where he will go in the future when he is older with girls. #9 obviously was dumbed down in school and has no common sense.
#10 , Late 60's early 70's something like that happened during an Indy race in Milwaukee and a fan in the stands got killed. I believe the race was the Mays 200, and I'm pretty sure the wheel came off of AJ Foyt's car
In the UK there used to be a banked oval circuit called Brooklands. Early in the twentieth century lots of speed records were set there. Back then it was a regular occurrence for cars and motorcycles to crash through the perimeter fence and wipe out a big chunk of spectators. Back in those days I think that it was considered part of the fun.
the one thing that does amazed me about the younger kids is just how fucking stupid they seem to be. I mean eating tide pods ? putting glue in your hair ? and why would anyone be so stupid as to put their tongue in a mouse trap ? maybe it is Darwinism in action or something ? but really just how fucking stupid are they ? and I thought I did some dumb shit as a kid too, but damn.
#10 - I've seen multiple tires come off and roll down the interstate, most often off of 18-wheelers but sometimes passenger cars too. Saw a rear wheel come off a pickup truck once. Bed was empty, most of the weight upfront with the engine, damn truck ran another 4-5 miles on three wheels before he pulled off the road.
We used to have scrap steel hauled into my melt shop, in double trailers. A driver told me once that one of their other drivers was headed back empty, both trailers, when he looked beside in his mirror, and he saw a trailer passing him, downhill going like a bat out of hell. Once it passed him, it ran off the road, into the ditch, and that was when he realized that it was his second trailer, that somehow had come unhooked, unnoticed, and luckily enough, it was headed back to Traverse City, from Muskegon, at about 4 am, when traffic was light. Needless to say, they blamed it on the driver, and fired him. We used to get 80,000 pounds of what we called 1010 steel, basically plain Iron, at least 3 days per week, except for the weeks that we were melting metal for artificial hip sockets and other medical implants. That was Cobalt/Chrome/Molybdenum, so Fe was a bad thing, and to be avoided. We also got stainless steel headers for remelt, many, many thousands of tons of them, from Lansing. The alloy was called 409, but it was close to 410 stainless, the same as is made into gun barrels and other gun parts. I was not a metallurgist but have a lot of hands on experience of the kinds of products that various alloys we made were made into. Craftsman ratchets were made with an alloy called 431, similar to all other 400 alloys, but has really high tensile strength, especially useful in bolts and shafts, and for the tensile strength required for a rachet handle.
Thanks. I could not figure out what the hell I was looking at. We don't have fireflies in the PNW. First time I ever saw fireflies was at age 19 in Pennsylvania.
Smarter Everyday on the youtube did a video about different flash patterns of different species of lightning bugs and how they sync their flashes. It was pretty interesting to watch.
Re number 9: will someone please put a dare on social media for these idiots to try tripping a set rat-trap with their penis, recording the feat. With luck we’ll eliminate them from the gene pool as non-breeders, and provide Wirecutter with some amusing videos.

DeleteIsn’t that the track where James May constructed the huge Scalextric slot car circuit?

They will do anything for attention, no matter how stupid. Generation tic toc
Deleteget them to try jumping off tall building like superman and do the world a solid by cleaning up the gene pool.

Wish I could teach my Pit to wipe her face. Sure would be nice to have a dry floor again. At least she isn't a Bull Mastiff.
ReplyDeleteWould be nice, we have a Rottie that leaves a trail of water.
Delete#2 Cheap Chinese scooter. No big loss. The pooch is probably just trying to save his owners life.
ReplyDelete#7 In July the field at camp has so many of fireflies that the field glows at night when they're active. It's at once eerie and beautiful.

ReplyDelete#3: Brilliant. Our neighbors have Corsos. Always look and sound like they mean business but quite affectionate and friendly if they know you.
