That's like the story daniel Gallery told about the period when they were setting up the anti-sub base in Iceland early in WW2. part of the stuff that got shipped there to build the base was a Pushball. One of the pilots blew it up and the wind caught it and pushed it across the bay where the Brits had their base. Gallery got on the field telephone net to call the Brits and let them know the ball was ours, but he overheard the Brits talking about the "blood big bomb" that just came ashore. Gallery volunteered to take care of the problem and they gathered a "bomb squad" with a couple rifles and field phone and went over and made all the proper motions of disarming the bomb. After a few minutes the party chief of the squad announced the big act of defusing the bomb. The guy at the ball unscrewed the valve core, they gathered the ball up and ran for their own base.
Anytime I see something like #3, I think of that incident and laugh.
#8 Many years ago on Paul Harvey he said a farmer had a horse that laid on his back in the field and slept. He finally had to put up a sign, No He's Not. So many had come to his house to tell him about the dead horse.
#1 - It always amazes me that people (usually women but not always) do really stupid shit not thinking that this (door - table - stripper pole mounted to sheetrock) might not support me. Interior doors aren't much more than a few blocks of balsa wood with a 1/4 inch covering. You could, if angry, put your fist right thru it pretty easily.
They make those kind of anti gravity boot things, to hang from and help your back. A former supervisor's brother was a cheapskate, and made his own, hanging from a pair of boots, to help his bad back. The problem occurred when his feet somehow came undone from the thing that he hooked them into, he hit the floor upside down, and broke his neck, killing him instantly. My boss got a call at work, early in the morning, telling him that they found his brother dead, laying on his broken neck. The one with the dad falling off the kid's ramp? I built a ramp to make it easier for my wife to get up our deck. I reinforced it, but I still don't get on it with 2 people at a time. Just a precaution, because I saw one break through, years ago. And I am too fat, usually.
My uncle built a gravity (inversion) chair with two counter weights: one for him and one for his wife. He got in it one time with the wrong counterweight and swung over and broke his neck on the concrete floor. Made a complete recovery fortunately.
#3 looks like a lot of fun! Perfect thing to use against those antifa rioters. Get a bunch of those with guys to push them right into those bastards. Good times. JFM
#3 was in downtown Toledo Ohio back in 2015. It was part of a public art installation that got loose due to high winds. That view was from a parking garage across the street from the building I worked in. It was hilarious when it happened even though the ball weighed 250 lbs.
There's video of Eleanor Holmes Norton, DC's non-voting representative, parking her ride about like that, blocking two other cars in the process. But she's triple-insulated: Black, female, democrat,
DC is also where one former mayor went through a couple of city-owned limos a year. If he wasn't making the chauffeur park it on a railroad track while he went to a restaurant, he was telling the chauffeur to run red lights. This is the same mayor that was busted for snorting cocaine with a hooker. But the hooker was working for the police and the jury decided it was entrapment. The guy was re-elected.
#3 SOMEONE TAUNTED THE HAPPY FUN BALL!!!
ReplyDeleteIt’s a red Rover from The Prisoner.

Is that Kramer and George's "giant ball of oil?"

ReplyDelete#5 is, what?
ReplyDeleteDude tried to escape out the front door, forgot about the glass door and broke it.
DeleteReminds me of the creepy giant white balls in The Prisoner.
ReplyDelete"I am not a number, I'm a FREE MAN!"
DeleteIt was the best show ever. And still is.
Be seeing you....

DeleteI'm thinking that door must be plastic even in the frame pieces. Wood wouldn't bend 20 or 30 degrees, then snap back.
DeleteNumber 3 reminded me of the old Woody Allen movie with the giant breast. https://youtu.be/mr7ZWJJdPV8

ReplyDeleteIt's an interactive college course called 'Developing Interpersonal Hoodrat Communication Skills'.
Hell, I figured it was just another episode of "Chimps gonna chimp."

ReplyDeleteChasing runaway ball that size? Like another rule: Do not try to catch a falling knife.
