Little dog imitates big dog.

Boobie clouds.

Baby sea lion. As cute as you might guess.

Utah mesas and hoodoos.

A herd of elephants protects a small baby elephant.

Nothing to see here folks, please move on, nothing to see here...

There's an old Greek myth that Zeus once transformed an 80s glam metal singer into a horse.

Dogs sitting in funny positions. Contains a special unexpected cameo from my favorite internet dog.

Deer is summoned by the harp.

Shut up, dog.

Cats don't play with toys so much as they ruin your stuff.

Guardian dog.

After 22 months of gestation (the longest period than any living mammal), a newborn elephant comes to life almost ready to walk, but taking the first steps is always tough

Ah, there's good news! At today's Rio Grande KC show in Albuquerque, Zeus (Soyara's Dragon King) was Winners Dog and his half-sister Rosalind (Soyara's Dark Lady at Justart) was Winners Bitch and Best of Winners. Both wins were 3-point majors, so Zeus now has the two he needs and Roz has one.

30 I swam with baby sea lions in Galapagos. Dozens of them swarming around me. Super cute. They are very playful in ways the adults aren’t. They seem to think you can swim as well as they can. They’re like “follow me” as they dart off at speeds and with underwater agility that’s far beyond anything a human could ever do.

Zeus lives in California. His owners spoil him outrageously, so he's an ill-disciplined teenager. They were shocked when Her Majesty, who was grooming him, made it clear to Zeus that she wasn't going to put up with his shenanigans.

What they don't realize is that dogs are perfectly happy knowing their place. And as a show dog, you damn well better know your place. We will spent sweat, time and money on them, but when they're in the ring when their handler tells them to jump, they need to ask how high.

45 Baby sea lions are usually safe when left on the beach. But the moment of truth comes when they first have to venture in the water to hunt for themselves. They’re young, small, and inexperienced. As many as half of them are taken by marine predators. In Galapagos, it’s the sharks. I saw it. Very sad to watch.

One time when we were travelling on the interstate, I said "oh shit, two elephants are fucking" when we came up behind one semi passing another one. My wife at the time said what do you mean? I said, they're big, slow, it's a terrible view and it's going to take forever. You do NOT want to be behind them. That became our code for that situation after that.

She/it/them/theywas lookin' for virgin ass to steal
She/it/they/them was in a bind 'cause Big Mike was way behind
And said was willing to make a deal
When Big Mike came across this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the Big Mike jumped up on a hickory stump
And said "Boy, let me tell you that you have a plump ass”

"I guess you didn't know it, but I am a Trans-player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give Big Mike my due
I'll bet a Dildo o' gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you"
The boy said, "My name's Barry, and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet and you're gonna regret 'cause I'm the best liar there's ever been"

Barry, rosin up your pecker and pump hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and Big Mike deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny Statue of Hillary made of gold
But if you lose the Big Mike Gets gets your virgin ass

Anyway, my impression is that Cruise works his a** off, does his own stunts (including pretty hairy ones), treats his actors and crew well, and stays in his lane (no political profile, think he cut off political questions at a recent PR event for the new MI movie).

All while making harmless empty-calorie fun action flicks. So my potentially uninformed position is that he's what Hollywood needs a LOT more of.

I had a picture of my Dad's gang at Camp Ritchie, MD and they all looked like they would be in their mid thirties today. Most were in their early twenties. My Old Man was probably the Old Man at 30. Flash forward, pictures of my gang in Vietnam look like 19 year old surf bums.

"Top Gun: Maverick" was very pro American. Saw it first in the theater on a 60 ft screen, and after the last scene faded out, the entire audience erupted in applause. Truly amazing, and quite a nice experience. I bought the blu-ray as soon as it went on sale. Sounds great through the 5.1 sound system.

169 Anyone watch the Starlink launch? Very low cloud over the Cal. coast and the rocket would not have been visible for long. It went well, including the booster recovery.

Keanu seems like a very down-to-earth guy in every interview I've seen with him. He's always bubbly and enthusiastic. He loves making films and he appreciates his fans.

172 I think boobie clouds, Mammatus, are somehow related to some small scale boundary layer phenomenon. They have a similar structure to Tollmien–Schlichting waves (which look more like fish scales than boobs).

It wouldn't surprise me if it were found Mammatus cloud formations build under atmospheric level shear flow instabilities governed by the same eigen-mode as TS waves.

177 >>Keanu seems like a very down-to-earth guy in every interview I've seen with him. He's always bubbly and enthusiastic. He loves making films and he appreciates his fans.

I agree. I have no idea if half the stuff I've heard about him are true or BS but he seems like a pretty nice guy.

Recently saw an old interview done by Matt Lauer with Tom Cruise about all of the drugs being given kids for supposed psychological problems and not only did Cruise come off as very well informed and intelligent he absolutely clobbered Lauer for being uniformed and irresponsible.

Who knows. They might be horrible in the rest of their lives but if you look at their bodies of work objectively they deliver on movie after movie without being constant divas and that's kind of impressive.

181 Molly Ephraim, who played the super-cute middle daughter on Last Man Standing the sitcom, is 39 now, and was 25 playing a 17-year-old when that show started in '11. All the "teenagers" on the original 90210 were over 18 when they were cast, too.

It's like the old theatre saying: An actress should never play Juliet until she's too old to play the role.

On the other hand, Mila Kunis got her spot as a teenager on That 70's Show when she was 14.

The producers wanted 18 year olds, and she told them she'd be 18 "on her birthday."

The producers filled in the word "next," but Mila didn't say that.

Holiday traffic becomes even worse around the morning start and night-time finish. We will hole up, fly the American flag, and not go anywhere until the madness vacates the region.

184 Speaking of actors being older than their characters: Cole Hauser was the big redheaded jock in Dazed and Confused. I thought, this dude looks like he's 30.

Turns out he was still a teenager. WTF?!

I hated guys like him when I was in high school. I looked like Mitch from Real Genius, without the smarts.

186 In the past read many comments from SoCal shooters who had competed with/been around K. Reeves at shooting events. All intel is that he's totally normal, very into guns, and friendly. This aligns with Jim's comment above about him getting along well with his armorers on movies.
