Fun Blow Off Thread I'm Too Burnt to Even Think of a Topic For
So it's time for a new thread but it's gonna be a loooong night (Tim Kaine, Joe Biden, Barack "ISIL" Obama) and I don't feel like writing about news or fighting with our priest caste so do me a solid and think of something fun we can bullshit about for an hour or two.
Please, nothing political or contentious or crossbow-related.Comments

Oh! I'm going to tell a story. Actually I'm going to plagiarize it from a letter I wrote to a girl when I was in Berlin a few years ago.
This takes place in a sauna.
"Then there was a thing I haven't been part of before, the "Aufguss". That just means pouring water on something, and often there's a bucket and a ladle and you can decide to dump a ladle of water on the heat source to Aufguss it. And I think I've seen people swinging towels around to circulate the heated air. This thing was an event. The woman who had been at the front desk came in to the sauna and aufgussed it. Then she started swinging a towel around rythmically to circulate the air. There have been women in the sauna earlier and will be again later, but for right now there's a small ampitheatre of naked men and the girl at the center wearing light gym clothes. And she swings the towel around and spreads the hot air and it's like a dance performance. Holds the towel one way, whoosh over her left shoulder, another way, whoosh over her right. At the end she whips up the towel and whoosh, one at a time, sends a blast of hot steam at each person in the sauna in turn. Then passed around orange slices, collected the rinds, and left. She got an actual applause."

Yeah. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about them being 'conservative'. What they definitely are is anti-SJW. Which makes sense, because they love disposable fun pop culture, and SJWs are death to fun.
Also, Rich Evans is very clearly anti-religion. So he's certainly not conservative in that sense.

Totally random upgrade. And the whole thing was free since we used reward points.
We told the desk clerk it was our 10 year anniversary a few days earlier but since we'd just bought a house we were just getting around to celebrating it. He did the whole "let's see what I can do" thing and we were expecting a standard suite or something, but we ended up with a room in our own wing with a freaking doorbell.
It was pretty cool. Must be nice to be Trump rich. Haha.

Starting on a sewing project. Have a HUGE sewing box filled with generations' worth of spools of thread in every imaginable color and shade and type.
Then I remember a while back I found in a free box at an estate sale some large mega-spools of industrial thread that probably were originally made for some old-school clothing factory machine. These spools are about 7 inches tall and are tightly wound with what must be a mile of thread.
So I tested them for strength -- holy shit, I couldn't even break them! So then I tested my original normal-people thread on my normal-people spools -- and like you might imagine, all were easily breakable, as thread is wont to be.
So I just now tested maybe 50 different spools in my sewing box and all of them were maybe at 10% of the tensile strength of these industrial thread spools. Even the "best cord" and other suppsedly "strong" retail threads were fatally weak compared to this amazing manufacturing thread.
The doubly amazing part is that the super thread is not thicker than standard thread -- quite thin, in fact.
And the industrial spools are quite old - -I'd judge that they were from the '50s or '60s. Yet still are incredibly strong.
So now I think: Why should I ever waste my time with my standard original spools I've been accumulating my whole life? They're all shit compared to this industrial stuff.
But I'd feel guilty chucking out all my beloved spools -- many are like old friends and/or are antique artifacts.
Another problem is that the industrial thread don't come in colors that are very useful -- a weird dull green, navy blue, and yellow-y cream.
So, Now I;m using this new thread on my sewing project and it's blowing my mind it's so strong. I now regret every previous sewing repair job I've ever done using inferior thread.
Should I throw out my male old spools?
And on a philosophical level: Why don't they simply sell the good thread to retail customers? What could be the harm?
*** Reference is to Alec Guinness's classic film "The Man in the White Suit," probably one of the best films ever made. About, amazingly, indestructible thread.

You can't fight it though. An old dictionary, from back in the '50s lists the pronunciation of 'giga' as a soft-'g' only, but now the modern edition of the same dictionary it lists the hard 'g' as first, but still includes the soft 'g' as secondary.

Two weeks in Borneo (a bit in Singapore), rainforest research station in Borneo (before it had a tourist lodge; we went out with the scientists each day/night to their projects), then several days diving on Sipadan, tiny coral speck off the coast. Cousteau called it his favorite diving spot in the world.
* curiously, just a few years later Abu Sayyaff or similar mooselimb pirates kidnapped people on the island
Eritrea. Yes, on paper one of the poorest countries on earth, in reality (then, at least) a beautiful, incredibly friendly, interesting place. Great food (tibbs wot and excellent lasagna and red wine at the same meal), no tourists (ahemm), ridiculously cheap of course, great espresso from old brass machines, climbing on T-62s left over from the longest war of the 20th century. Spectacular scenery (esp. in the south), camel markets, one billion degrees and guys drinking beer at outside cafes after mosque services on Friday down in Massawa on the Red Sea.
* curiously, the southernmost town we visited was destroyed by the Ethiopian army a year or two after we visited, in a short flare-up of the old war (actually a personal spat between presidents and erstwhile comrades-in-arms in the old war)

According to a report from Headset Inc., a "cannabis intelligence company"* the average legal pot user is a 37-year-old man who spends around $645 a year on the green stuff, most often choosing buds over edibles and making his purchases every 19.5 or so days.
Who spends the most? Those with the most disposable income. The biggest median annual spenders are users in their 40s, who spent $823 in the last year and those in their 50s, $753.

Just got back from a 2 week grand tour of Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Tetons NP's. Glacier and Grand Tetons were incredible. Yellowstone was just plain weird: absolutely packed to the gills, 75% Asians. They had these motor coach tours going. Their leader would depart the bus, run to a meet point, and plant a flag so they could see it from a distance. The leader guy was dressed like a 1950's teenager, and all the Chi-coms were wearing this odd, sequined blingy stuff w/random english words printed on it.

Close second, Ireland. It was a little strange. I saw some guy, sitting on a Japanese racing motorcycle with helmet and visor down. He took his helmet off right as I walked near him and I about fainted. He looked exactly like my brother. Exactly. Then he started talking and the accent completely destroyed the similarity. But the whole time I was there I felt at home.

Haven't checked, I wonder if there's any sort of monument north of the Salton Sea to mark where the 509th Composite Group did their practice runs. Atomic bombing missions were supposed to be strictly visually sighted bomb drops (bridges as aimpoints), so it's believed the 509th became the most accomplished visual bombing outfit ever with all that practice.
Nagasaki mission was a disaster and they ended up bombing blind (radar), against orders, anyway.

"If you add in mail order sales, crowd funding contributions and YouTube ad revenue, the top talents are pulling in close to $200,000 a year."

Favorite beach: Bellows AFB when I was a kid in the early 70s. Fine, pale sand and always a breeze. Hundreds of Portuguese Man-O-Wars would wash up on the beach during certain times of year though. Don't touch the bluish tentacles, unless you like hospitals.
Great fun to boogie-board, because the beach was shallow for about 100 yards out, before finally dropping off. The surf was odd, small waves but really REALLY quick. We'd ride them screamingly fast all the way in to the sand, where we were going fast enough that we'd get thrown off the board when it dug in.

I made some hard tack about 2 years ago (still have it). The thing I realized - not very many calories. Someone (not me) would have to eat a lot of it and then there's the salt issue.
I decided it would be the last thing I ate.

Yes, it's very rare. When I ordered this truck the salesman told me the V10 with a stick accounted for less than 4% of their sales.

Years back, at my sister's wedding (in CA), another guest my age (female, younger sister of the best man) kept saying I looked familiar. We checked possible connections (colleges, etc.) - nothing. We'd never met through the groom, or her brother.
Turns out she had just helped a friend move to DC. So I asked where in DC. Hmmm. Kind of house. Hmmmm. Took a shot, and guessed the name of her friend who'd just moved back east, and her new housemate in DC.
Yep. The wedding guest woman had seen my photo on the bulletin board in my then-gf's room. THAT was why I looked familiar. It had happened one week earlier - other than that, we had never crossed paths.

Actually, the other night was "The Long Grey Line", starring Tyrone Power as Marty Mauer, legendary West Point NCO.
It actually made me sad, as the movie (made by John Ford) was about a way of life and a culture and all that stuff that is just gone.
It's hard to believe that so much of what people thought was "America" 60 or 70 years ago is just gone. Nothing left.

The Promise is a mini series beautifully filmed but disgustingly antisemitic. It almost has to be seen to be believed.
Carlos the 5 hour mini series is pretty good. Shows how the terrorists and commies were and are all in cahoots and how they were afraid Bush. Same with the cartels, they were also afraid of Bush. Poor guy shd have gotten a second term but he screwed up.

Favorite beach: Bellows AFB when I was a kid in the early 70s. Fine,
pale sand and always a breeze. Hundreds of Portuguese Man-O-Wars would
wash up on the beach during certain times of year though. Don't touch
the bluish tentacles, unless you like hospitals.
Great fun to
boogie-board, because the beach was shallow for about 100 yards out,
before finally dropping off. The surf was odd, small waves but really
REALLY quick. We'd ride them screamingly fast all the way in to the
sand, where we were going fast enough that we'd get thrown off the board
when it dug in.

I agree. some of my best childhood memories reside there. and if you are lucky the lions club is selling chicken and then you have an epic day at the bach, AND a picnic. those were truly the best of days. Unless you turned your back on a wave and got decked and held under by the surf because you are small and then its still an unbeatable day with a few moments of sheer terror. Last time i was there the hammer head sharks were bodysurfing with us. My dad said "dont worry, she wont take a big bite." And this was how i learned not to fear wild life. (Much)

My favorite game series ever. And including Telltale, there are like nine games. Sure, five of 'em are kind of one long game, but still.
Don't forget Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max.
If I had the resources I'd make a "comedy MMO" based on Monkey Island that relentlessly mocks MMO conventions (like outrageously priced clothing, paying for transportation, and standing in line for prizes).
An "adventure MMO" would actually be a lot harder to develop than an action one, because adding combat is easy, adding written content takes a lot more work.

Friend was #2 at our "embassy" in Belize, years ago. He'd talk to the prime minister regularly - in line, getting coffee at a shop in the morning.
But my favorite story was the old guy at the club my friend belonged to there in Belize. He had fought with the British ...... against the TURKS ..... at Basra, in WW I! Apparently he was some sort of steward at the club.

I recall not wearing shoes, well I think not once, the whole year (maybe some cleats for intramural flag-football, or biking shoes for bike trips, the only exceptions).
But I played weekly in a night league at the then-new rink down by city college.

If a Corporation gives of its resources to help a candidate... its an in kind political contribution and must be declared.
What happens when a Media outlet is SO biased for one candidate, vice another, that they are nothing more than a spokesman for said candidate?
EVERY story currently on MSN's main page is Pro Hillary, and Anti Trump....
As they are a media outlet... who SELLS advertising... is this not a de facto in kind contribution to a campaign?

Store clerks were babes, who were very attentive.
And I noticed no women had weird hairstyles. I guess they felt long, dark, thick hair was enough. I agreed.
There were a lot of weapons around but they were always pointed away from me. So that was fine.

Speaking of shoes with heels. I just finished a week of wearing cowboy
boots. I've heard guys who insist cowboy boots are the most comfortable
footwear they've ever worn.
Sorry, they hurt my feet. And mine have something more along the line of walking heels than riding heels.
Posted by: Northernlurker at July 27, 2016 06:03 PM (hJrjt)
if you grow up in them, your feet sorta conform to the shape of the boot and its not a lie. If you dont grow up in them, try wearing Fatbabies if youre a girl, or Ropers if you are a guy and you might be pleasantly surprised.

I think it's Donovan who said that Page played at the rehearsals when they were working on the arrangement.
The Donovan reissues are hilarious, because the liner notes tried to tell you who all the musicians were, but most of them are lost in time. They would bring in some guy to play clarinet or something, give him 20 quid, then he'd leave. No one remembers who the payers were half the time, and not because of drugs.

i bought a heavy plastic sparring bastard sword off amazon, just to f around with.
i think ti's called a longsword but it's what people usually mean by a bastard sword.
apparently tourneys called the same weapon by two different names

I wouldn't punch him in the face. If I was this type of person I'd hire someone to put arsenic in his tea before the heroine of "The Portrait of a Lady" -Isabel Archer- every met him. At first glance he is an attractive, artistic, somewhat self deprecating man who loves his daughter. In reality he's a cold and thorough going narcissist. His former mistress Madame Merle deserves some arsenic too.

They seem suspiciously conservative, they're review of "Avatar" was pretty scathing. They also use lots and lots of non-PC phrasing when they review movies.
So anyone else a RLM fan?"
Also in their Plinkett review of Indy Jones and the Crystal Skull they trashed the movie for its treatment of Americans of the fifties being cautious about the communist menace. I got a distinctly non-lefty vibe from their review of that movie.

I couldn't get past the vocals. Dude sounds like his junk is caught in a wheat thresher. I was listening to it and sort of assuming it was Yes because they had those odd vocals, too, didn't they? Then saw that it was Rush. Second song, another popular one (Freewill?) came on later - just as horrifying.
Now I freely confessed I studiously avoid "rock" when I was growing up, but Rush is just awful.
Back in the day I used to like Cream, but now their stuff makes my skin crawl, maybe b/c I associate them with that generation of asshats.
I have developed an appreciation for the Eagles now that I've gotten older (not Hotel California, but their kind of Western-inspired ballads).

Absolutely. Pop culture these days is so marinated in leftist politics that I'll take mini-victories like "non-left" and "libertarian" and "apolitical" any day of the week. It's a statement on how far we've come that Jimmy Fallon, simply by dint of his being apolitical on his show, is hailed as the late-night host of choice by Republicans.

That actually was a good grounding for appreciating later rock music.
The first concert I saw was Lou Reed shortly after I started college. I knew a little Velvet Underground by that time, but didn't know any of his solo work, except for "Walk On the Wild Side". But the ticket was something like $8-10, so how could you go wrong?

They ruin their feet. I've seen what they do in the case of several relatives of mine. I had a couple of aunts who were really proper, literally dressing to the nines all the time, to do housework and cook. They wore heels all the time. They weren't hooker heels, nothing outlandish either. Some heel, but not all that high.
And when they got older, their feet were ruined. I mean an ugly mess. One aunt, good lord, her feet were deformed and disgusting looking. Gave her a world of trouble.

First album with my own dough: Simon and Garfunkle's greatest hits..the first one.
Music that comforts me: 60's Motown, 70;s disco.
music that embarasses me: can't think of any.
great recent movie...10 cloverfield lane was great. but the spookiest recent movie was "Frankenstein's Army." I slept with the lights on for a week. It was great! it had monsters, commies, WW2 german soldiers, terrified locals and more. I had to see it twice to verify that it was as creepy as I thought. It was.

I highly recommend Chattanooga. I visit at least twice a year. Lovely city. Lots to do, see, and eat. It's got a small town vibe even though it's a relatively big city. If you go, you should visit the Moon Pie shop, the English Rose tearoom, the arts and crafts market, Big River Grill for eats, Lookout Mountain park for some beautiful vistas, and the Chattanooga Choo Choo for some cool historical stuff.
The only attraction I wouldn't recommend in that city is Ruby Falls. Bit of a cash-grab let-down in my opinion.

Mine: I'm a tea drinker. Nay, a tea appreciator, a tea obsessive. I'm the only tea-drinking Tea Party person. I write a tea blog, and I drink The Good Stuff, which is easily as good as the greatest cognacs and wines. And almost every tea drinker I know (and we all know one another on the Interwebs) is a flaming pinko leftist who hates the Tea Party and everything they represent--and particularly because the Tea Party clogs up Twitter hashtags about #Tea #Glorious #Tea.
I live and breathe Darjeelings, and am learning about snazzy puerhs, and will literally drool when I read about high-mountain Taiwanese teas. Dan Cong oolong is the best proof I know of the existence of God.
And, get this, no one cares. I mean, I'm a treasure trove of enthusiasm and dodgy knowledge about how to be transformed from a Lipstons-swilling Philistine to an American who likes the best of the best of everything, and therefore knows that the best of single-origin teas can wake you up without making you jittery, elevate you without making you manic, and wake up your senses with the beauty of flavor palettes you never even imagined existed.
And no one cares! The suburbs of Chicago are filled with Starbucks coffee drinkers. And, as everyone knows, Tazo tea is what Starbucks uses to punish you for not drinking coffee.

First concert - Norah Jones. I like attractive ingénues with sultry voices who sing piano heavy jazz. Sue me.
Last good movie - the Ultimate Cut of Batman V Superman. Provides a lot of backstory and exposition that the movie needed. I honestly liked the original cut too. Well, minus Jesse Eisenberg who was inexcusably miscast.

Does that include herbal teas?
I grew up in Boulder and my fried babysat for Mo Siegal. Anyway, there was a popular casual restaurant where the house tea was this intense cinnamon iced tea that was freakin' addictive, except it was loaded with caffeine so you'd be 'wired for sound' by the time you finished your meal. Celestial Seasonings now sells a decaffeinated version (*sniff*) called Bengal Spice.

You see, I thought that, too. Though it's also that they rewrote the character. I bet he could have played the role if they hadn't rewritten the character as an obsessive loon instead of a ruthless, amoral powermonger.

You're like almost all Americans. I grew up thinking I would hate tea forever, because of the swill my parents kept in their cabinets. Little did I know that the good stuff was cheaper than the crap you buy in the grocery stores in fancy wrappers. My thought is that as Americans, we know it's our birthright to have the best of everything. So the only reason we don't have it is that we don't know it exists. Once Americans figured out that good coffee didn't come with Flavor Crystals, whatever the hell those were, they created a market for it. Same with craft beers. As Americans, it's our right to drink single-tree Phoenix Mountain dan cong oololong!

Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot is set to launch. A Kickstarter campaign raised $5m for 12 new episodes. A new guy - not Mike or Joel - with Tom Servo and Crow - new actors.
Joel is executive producer. But the head writer is a guy from The Daily Show.
I suspect this will be a political MST3K. Which means, please patronize Mike Nelson and RiffTrax.

As for Revolutionary War sites, I intend to see Cowpens. Morristown, where Washington's army spent two winters, is worth seeing. Back fifteen years ago or so, the film shown there had Peter Weller ("RoboCop" and "Buckaroo Banzai") in the cast.
I showed "Buckaroo Banzai" to the Scout troop on our bus ride up to Maine a month ago. "WTH was that?" was the general reaction.

Herbal "tea" isn't tea at all if it doesn't have Camellia sinensis, the tea plant. Otherwise, it's properly known as a "tisane," or an herbal infusion. Beer isn't champagne just because they both have bubbles, and coconut rooibos isn't tea just because they both are leaves dropped in hot water.
But if you like it, then you like it! I would say, if you like Bengal Spice, you probably would like complex second-flush Darjeeling teas. They're not flavored (unless, of course, someone puts flavoring in them--which you don't do with good-quality teas, for the same reason you don't make sangria out of Dom Perignon), but they're complex and interesting.

Was it this one? He recorded Blood on the Tracks twice. He wasn't satisfied with the first version, so he went back into the studio and re-recorded the whole album with different musicians. The second one was the one that was released.

I mean, as villains go, Luthor tended toward a state of calm. This one was jittery."
I've wrote about this before, but too many actors these days look at the near universal praise Heath Ledger got for the Joker and Johnny Depp got for Jack Sparrow and they think, "Hmmm maybe if I give my character a lot of spastic physical tics I'll be praised as well." They substitute these weird, gonzo mannerisms for actual characterization. And they forget that, unless you're playing a psychopathic clown or a drunk 17th century Caribbean pirate, those tics don't work.
Luthor is a cold, calculating, billionaire terrorist. As such Eisenberg's portrayal is horribly off-key.

Shortly thereafter, the British invasion. Another couple of years and the late 60's rock took over. Intermingled throughout, the Mowtown sound.

Actually, no, that's his regular touring band in the Forest Hills performance I linked. Charlie Sexton plays lead guitar, and that guy is a wizard. I saw them five days later in Philly.
I have seen Knopfler play with him, though. A few years ago they did a tour with Knopfler opening for Dylan, then Mark came out and played three or so songs with Bob.
