Rube Goldberg Trickshot Cafe

Baobab Avenue, Madagascar

Watering the hound.

Catwalk in the surf.

Puppy imitates the movements of a rabbit toy.

Puppy halps with the chores.

Dolphin playing around, keeping head of a ship's prow.

Adopting a senior dog from a shelter.

This cat has a plan and he executes.

Cute sea lion.

Scary ride. Watch through the middle; there's a rollercoaster that runs around the superstructure of the drop ride. I've been burned on video of amusement rides before so I checked. Apparently it's "Zumanjaro" at Six Flags Great Adventure.

A flume ride in China. Looks good, but I gotta think they've killed a thousand people and covered it up.

Making a Freddy Mercury doll. It's something. Little creepy in places!

The unnatural yet ferocious love of an ostrich.

Babies holding babies!

Learning to stalk and pounce.

Jaguar hunting alligators underwater.

Nice lift.

This reads like all the 1st Amendment Auditors.
Reasonable, articulable, suspicion that a crime is about to, is, or has occurred.

The key to this is they have to state the crime, just like Bragg has failed to do because they don't have to.

Articulable is not the correct word. Stated is.

1st Amendment Audit folks really put the fu into the thin blue line.

86 Nephew's daughter, 7, just had her 3rd open heart surgery and a pacemaker put in as part of the process of dealing with her being born with her heart reversed in her chest (weak side is pumping to body and strong side to lungs - not good). She's a beautiful, tough little bean and she's doing fine. It helps that her new little brother, 2 months, pretty much never stops smiling at her.

Eventually they're gonna go in and just cut her heart out and reverse it so the proper side is pumping to appropriate parts of the body. Not sure what they are waiting for. That promises to be a very difficult surgery, but it is frequently very successful.

Anywho, sorry for the threadjack.

We were on a school trip to the zoo when my daughter was in kindergarten. She dropped her hat near the monkey enclosure, and a nasty little primate got their quicker than she did and took. Put it on and screamed at her, the other monkeys joining in. She was going to go in and get it but we stopped her. 40 on 1 wasn't a fair fight. She's hated monkeys ever since.

Rumors are afoot that Disney, in looking to raise case for their looming $9 to $29 billion bill to Comcast for the one-third they don't own, is discussing selling off their international theme parks and sit down, drumroll, to sell the Star Wars franchise back to George Lucas. Delicious if true.

==========

If that happens, first thing is to close EuroDisney. It was stupid to put it in Paris and not a Mediterranean locale.

Second, this would mean that all the garbage movie tie-ins would go. There are rides at Disney now based on movies that were hardly classics. Monsters Inc.? Bleah. The lousy movie-related Chinese-made merch would go, too, although to be replaced by...

Third, despite everything, I'd be incredibly sad to see those theme parks go -- unless they were sold to someone who could restore them to their former glory. They deteriorated amazingly. But separating them from Walt alone would be a magical childhood love destroyed.

104 Eventually they're gonna go in and just cut her heart out and reverse it so the proper side is pumping to appropriate parts of the body. Not sure what they are waiting for. That promises to be a very difficult surgery, but it is frequently very successful.

Room mate in college had a spider monkey he let run around, his girlfriend was Melania-grade hot. That monkey squirted monkeypoo down the front of her sweater and she literally slapped the shit out of him, the room mate. The monkey had expended all his onboard ordnance, but she threw him at the room mate and started screaming. I took off running so she wouldn't see me laugh.

158 In Lemans news... the Garage 56 NASCAR entry won their pitstop competition today.

In the run-up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, teams compete in a pit-stop challenge to see who can change four tires quickest. NASCAR's Garage 56 effort—which won hearts and minds with a stunning showing in Sunday practice—just beat all the GTE teams with a time of 10.364 seconds. And unlike any of the GTE teams, the Hendrick Motorsports crew had to use a floor jack.

So, good for them. Their car will not be placed in the race... IOW they cannot "win" but they will "race" against all other cars yet unable to get a trophy if they were to actually place 1st, 2nd or 3rd. They are there as a one-off.

Was with my pragmatic group tonight. We are survivors of the Constitution Bee effort. We were discussing Trump's upcoming arrest, farm conditions in Kansas, raising a herd of cows in today's world and the war in Ukraine, with the dam.

One guy mentioned the firing of the Lululemon clerks. He did not know what they sold. I immediately said "Yoga Pants". This flabbergasted and confounded the group, as I am normally seen as a guy from the Dinosaur age, with crust underneath my crust, not hip, and certainly not an expert of yoga pants.

This is why, although theoretically I'm ok with euthanasia, in practice I am dead set against it. I've always known that it will be used against that eccentric aunt (who also happens to be LOADED).

As an aside, I am against term limits theoretically because we should just vote the bums out. However we seem unable to do that, so I am all for term limits in practice.

Human nature... it never changes. Ever.

184 I hate monkeys. When I was in Africa with a group we toured a national park where monkeys roam freely. We were explicitly told Don't Feed The Monkeys.
Of course people found it very entertaining to feed the monkeys whatever snacks they were carrying in their bags or backpacks. The monkeys were rifling through womens' purses looking for food. People were taking pictures and talking about how cute the monkeys were. One young guy decided to tease the monkeys, and shortly he had several climbing on him. The fun was over when the monkey's bit him seven times on his back. Yeah, the next day he had to fly home to the States.

It's also bad practice to give them an AK-47 to play with.

187 So I will ask for prayers. Two people I know were running for our township committee as Republicans . One was a friend of mine and the other woman is just a nice, intelligent conservative woman. My friend dropped out and nobody else wants to run with the other woman. I asked my husband and he said to go ahead if I felt I should. I prayed about it. Our area is heavily Democratic and I have to change my voting registration to run as a Republican.

I am a complete neophyte in running for office so I need all the prayer support I can. Thanks.

195 I ran for office in 2016. Won by 56 votes.

I can give you some pointers, but I doubt you need any. But let me know.

I actually did not campaign, but focused on good policy and tax reductions.

203 YOUR LIFE...is your life and as humans we should live it out despite the pain and misgivings.

We SHAKE the MORTAL COIL when by the mark of time, our journey is through. You are a COWARD if you do not see it through and take an early exit because it "suits" you.

I label you..."CHICKEN SHIT HUMAN."

Only because there were so many humans amongst us that would have gladly desired the extra time that you voided.

205 Get the Fu8k up...STAND the Fu*k up and repel the COMMIES/SOCIALISTS on the verge of taking down our REPUBLIC!!!

This gets old. Not because you are a "glowie". Simply because "stand the fuck up" runs contrary to the contemporary conservative ethos. So, lets say, you or I "stand up" ?

Then what ? It turns into a fight ? People go to jail ? Furniture gets broken ? There will be no end of clucking tongues after. Plenty of recitations of whatever equivalent to Branca discussing how it simply was not the proper hill.

Read the room.

195 was for you. And of course you have my prayers. Good people need to step up, if they can. I found my elected position mostly rewarding, as I solved problems.

However, there is a finite amount of lunkheads you deal with. I found explaining why I made my decisions worked best. Me being in earnest, they could not answer me on specifics. They eventually walked away, even if they still disagreed.

I did and I felt encouraged by God to do so, but I think it might get nasty. I asked my running mate if my being a pastor would be a handicap because people might say that I want to establish a theocracy right here in our little old township/ sarc
But she didn't feel it would be a handicap.

225 I'm not surprised that the F-150 loses so much range when loaded. It's one of the first electric trucks and it's never going to be the best electric truck ever.

The CEO of Ford was amazingly blunt and honest when being interviewed recently, and one of the amazing things is that he said out loud that elements within Ford kept trying to kill the electric F-150 before they could release it. And one of its most popular features was almost an afterthought, added very late: the power outlets and such to aid contractors.

It's selling well and it's a success, so I think history will judge it kindly, but it's really not for hauling heavy loads and definitely not for towing.

The ideal use case for an electric F-150 is if you are a contractor who needs to haul tools to a work site, and would like to have electric power at the site without buying lots of gasoline or breathing generator fumes.

This link is to a "Solving the Money Problem" video, where he plays a bit of the interview and then gives his thoughts. There are places where he feels the Ford CEO was necessarily dancing around the truth.

227 BTW the "Fully Charged Show" guy who interviewed the CEO of Ford is an actor, and he played (and still plays) Kryten in Red Dwarf.

He started up "Fully Charged Show" as a podcast, I believe, but it also has a popular YouTube channel.
