Beluga Boob Cafe

Piccadilly Circus, 1965
by Elmar Ludwig

So that mound on top of a beluga whale's head is spongy and flexible and you can honk it like a boob, and apparently they enjoy that.

Belugas enjoy the violin, especially if it sounds like Civil War letters violin.

Belugas also enjoy making fart noises, because it's funny.

Mother beluga and baby beluga.

Let go of my girlfriend or I'll beat you raw!!!

A really really big domino fall, except with matchboxes, I think.

The stowaway.

Everybody's so creative!

Fall is coming!

Cows!

Beautiful sea cave.

20 Ironically, "Grits" is the [old-fashioned] nickname for the Liberal Party.

A 19th Century Liberal party leader, fighting back against accusations he was a wimp, said he was "clear grit through and through." [As in 'true grit' although I just found a page saying the 1849 newfound Liberals were called the "Clear Grits".]

This '74 is blue, but the heads seem to have zero paint. Darker shade of blue from I recollect as "Ford blue".

Apparently Ford used a bronze color on the '49 engines, but an olive green existed in the '50's, too.

106 ||At the age of 28, former NFL running back Alex Collins has passed away.

The Baltimore Ravens, Collins’ former team, broke the news through their social media platforms on Monday evening. The cause of Collins’ death has not been disclosed.

Collins, recognized for his standout performance with the Arkansas Razorbacks during his college years, had a career spanning five seasons in the NFL. His professional journey encompassed three seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, the team that selected him in the 5th round of the 2016 NFL Draft, and an additional two seasons with the Ravens.

The Seahawks also released a statement expressing their deep sorrow over Collins’ passing, using the words “absolutely heartbroken” to convey their feelings.||

108 U.S. postal drop boxes were OD, because of a huge surplus of olive drab paint post-WWII. Perhaps Ford took advantage of that also. Henry was parsimonious like that.

For a time, I owned a Ford Model 'C'. The rear wooden platform underneath the seat was constructed of boards recycled from wooden crates that Ford's suppliers shipped pieces/parts to the Ford factory in. Ford was so cheap, they didn't even bother to paint them. I was told later that those boards didn't have to even be cut to fit the space. Ford specified the boards of those crates to be that exact size.

Little known fact - *clears throat and assumes the Cliff Klaven voice*

That car didn't have a serial number or VIN as it were. When I was shopping it around, one of the prospective buyers was increduous that I claimed to have one. "Son, No you don't. We know where all of them are." He asked me what the serial # was. I told him, I can't find one but it does have ### stamped on the flywheel.

"I'll be on the next flight out." And he was.

109 ..Nowadays they are probably black. I don't know when the last Ford with a blue engine was made
Posted by: fd at August 14, 2023 09:13 PM (vFG9F)

The 2000 Ford Escort SVT coupe had a blue-painted engine, but they only made 1,100 of them. I sold a Bright Yellow one to a gent in LaPorte, who drove the car into deep water in an intersection.

Hydraulic locked the engine, blew a piston and con-rod right out of the side of the block.

Ford didn't even LIST parts for that engine in their books, and when he finally got someone from SVT on the fone, he found he was S.O.L. Those were hand built engines with the builder's signature on a serial numbered data-plate on the block, and those assemblers were long into other, newer projects by then.

There would be no SVT engines for that car, ever again.

When I was a kid in San Diego, CA, our neighbors had maybe the UGLIEST of of those, ever.

Color was what we called "Dead Frog Green", the narrow steel wheels painted the same, but with some kind of Mopar version of "dog dish" hubcaps. Interior color was a similar hue.

136 83 Well, since this car will be a "patina hot rod", I can paint the engine any damned color I please, or not at all. But I figure go with colors that would have been current in the '50 and '60's, when hot-rodded Shoebox Ford were to be seen in every drive-in in the land.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon
-In 1976 after 8th grade I built a model of a 49 Ford hot rod. Seemed like an ancient car and I never saw any on the street. It was 27 years old at the time. Now I daily Town Cars of the design that started in 98, which makes them basically 26 years old as of the fall. No-one notices, no one really cares beyond thinking I am weird because I don't want new cars. For some reason even people in their 30s think all Town Cars are as big as 79s and get 10 mpg. Interaction with the " normal" world is always strange.
