Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Garrett's Mom Cafe![]() Devataki cave, Bulgaria Cute little cave-swimmer.

Platypus! Apparently a baby platypus is called a "puggle," which I'm surprised isn't more widely publicized. Claustrophobia alert. Aww, poor little fox wants to steal a fish. This striped cuckoo's dance moves are fiyah. The Lauterbrunnen Valley in Switzerland, whose 72 waterfalls inspired Tolkein's Rivendell. The other landmark inspiring Rivendell? Garrett's Mom. I cannot figure out what this guy is doing to achieve this ghost-walking effect, so I will assume it's CGI. I will also assume that I could do it, if I felt like it. A train-themed restaurant where your drinks and food are delivered by, yes, model trains. The maned wolf or "golden dog" of South America. What it looks like is a sexier hyena. Eclipse at sunset. Like all eclipses, it is disappointing. Volcanic smoke-ring. Today in 1996, Tomb Raider was released, in which Laura Croft searches for treasures inside Garrett's Mom. There's a man on the wing. As I always say: Nature is weird and gross.

Two fragments of an enormous statue have been unearthed at the Temple of Hercules in Amman, Jordan. The temple dates back to around 160 CE, to the time when Amman was part of the Roman Empire. Dubbed the Hand of Hercules, this fragment, along with an elbow, are the only pieces yet discovered of a massive marble statue. Based on the size of its fingers, the statue may have towered as high as 40ft (12m). https://tinyurl.com/ywv4r3xz 🖕 🤟 artist's rendition Posted by: andycanuck (krqg6) at October 25, 2023 07:49 PM (krqg6) 69

I know many here are not fans of Ann Coulter, but give credit where credit is due, excerpt from her lates column : "In last week’s column, we noted the popularity of Hamas terrorists with BLM representatives. This week, we’ll consider the other main contingent of Hamas Boosters: foreigners, who, for reasons I can’t understand, are in my country.
In the past few weeks, Muslims and Arabs have poured into the streets in nearly every U.S. city to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis, while wearing scarves, keffiyehs and other clown outfits, waving the flags of Palestine, Egypt, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Yemen, Turkey, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and on and on. It’s so obvious that these people don’t belong here that the immediate reaction of a number of politicians was to demand that their visas be revoked. (Nobody looked at anti-war protests in the ’60s and said, Revoke their visas!) Question: Why are we importing millions of people from lesser cultures who will inevitably despise and resent the West for its very success?.." and so on and so on. Clown outfits. This woman deserves a Pulitzer. Or whatever they bestow on writers. Posted by: runner at October 25, 2023 07:50 PM (V13WU) 71

This is one of the most expensive silent movie stunts of all time. This shot from Buster Keaton's "The General" (1926) cost $42,000 (equal to $600,000 today). The production company left the wreckage of the train in the Row River, south of Cottage Grove in Oregon. The site became a tourist attraction until 1944 when the wreckage was finally salvaged and scrapped during World War II. "The General" went way over budget, costing $750,000 (equal to $11 million today) in total. Some of the unforeseen costs included "Keaton being knocked unconscious; an assistant director being shot in the face with a blank cartridge; a train wheel running over a brakeman's foot, resulting in a $2,900 lawsuit; and the train's wood-burning engine causing numerous fires. The fires often spread to forests and farmers' haystacks, which cost the production $25 per burnt stack." Posted by: andycanuck (krqg6) at October 25, 2023 08:10 PM (krqg6) 109
In the end, the film only made $500,000 at the box office and was panned by film critics. Despite failing financially and losing his artistic independence, Keaton considered "The General" to be his crowning achievement. "I was more proud of that picture than any picture I ever made," he said.
Today, "The General" is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. Roger Ebert gave the film 4 stars and listed it on his top 10 in 2002. He had this to say about Buster Keaton: "Today I look at Keaton's works more often than any other silent films. They have such a graceful perfection, such a meshing of story, character, and episode, that they unfold like music. Although they're filled with gags, you can rarely catch Keaton writing a scene around a gag; instead, the laughs emerge from the situation... And in an age when special effects were in their infancy, and a 'stunt' often meant actually doing on the screen what you appeared to be doing, Keaton was ambitious and fearless. He had a house collapse around him. He swung over a waterfall to rescue a woman he loved. He fell from trains. And always he did it in character, playing a solemn and thoughtful man who trusts in his own ingenu Posted by: andycanuck (krqg6) at October 25, 2023 08:11 PM (krqg6) 110

And not even the good John Wayne movies, like the one where we could pretend Sulu wasn't gay while he blew up the Cong that infiltrated the wire before The Duke led the counter-strike force and then named it Provo's Privy at the end.
No, Peggy would click the easy button - about as often as she'd click the tap on whatever box of wine wasn't empty yet - while dreaming about Jimmie Cooper giving John Wayne the what for. You know, while Jimmie was bumbling and stumbling all over himself, right before we cut scene and suddenly those law books meant something rather than Lee Marvin beating his ass outside a saloon. Peggy invented the opposite of today's up-talk. Because no flowery tart, even today, wants to sound like she'd deep sucked two packs of Winstons before sounding as stupid as Peggy Noonan. If my beagle could recite old Reagan speeches - he'd sound like Peggy. If he were gay.

It's worse than that. They'll take the tank off and slide it through, separate from the body. With debris clouds blocking vision and, subsequently, orientation.

The photo of Elephanta is actually that of the Kailasa Temple at Ellora (not real close to Mumbai), an impressive building, as it and the galleries surrounding its courtyard are all of the same 1 piece of basalt. The builders simply removed all rock from the basalt flow that was NOT the temple and galleries. I saw it many years ago,, when I was 10, along with other Hindu temples beside it, the Jain temples, to the temple's right, and the Buddhist temples on the left. Elephanta really is a cave that was carved into a temple. The central figure is a giant sculpture, maybe 11 feet tall, of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. I've been here too, same age.

Yeah, about "caving" / spelunking...
Stupid pastime, easy way to get dead. One of the leaders of our NOLS course took a 20 foot fall in a cave, broke a couple of ribs, and had to be airlifted out of the Absorakas. I had the pleasure, along with another student, of walking out to civilization to get to a phone to call in said airlift. I'm pretty sure the instructor didn't want to bet his life on a couple of knuckleheads with a topo map, but he didn't have much of a choice.

Rock Wallabies are actually very small, about the size of a medium dog and mostly dig. They hop on the surface but the back legs they use mostly to dig. They're really not well known or studied.

Today was the second day, the first day being not-relevant testimony by SEVEN witnesses. Today was the County Manager, saying the biotch was playing games with coming up with her health department budget, and going to the press claiming she was but out of the process. Also, the biotch was the final witness - her opportunity to defend herself. Each side then summarized, and the County Board had some discussion, took care of minor unrelated business (appointing a Dem and GOP to two vacant board of canvasser seats), heard some public comments, and RECESSED until Monday at 8a.

One of the leaders of our NOLS course took a 20 foot fall in a cave, broke a couple of ribs, and had to be airlifted out of the Absorakas.
I had the pleasure, along with another student, of walking out to civilization to get to a phone to call in said airlift. I'm pretty sure the instructor didn't want to bet his life on a couple of knuckleheads with a topo map, but he didn't have much of a choice. Posted by: browndog So..... did you pass the class?

There was a PBS docu on a cave system in Mexico below the bottom of a mine, Naica IIRC. The temps were so hot that, even though the researchers were wearing special cooling suits, they couldn't stay inside for longer than like 20 min. The mine was also slated to be abandoned and capped, so they only had a month to explore and the system supposedly went on for miles.
The crystal samples they took had 50k year old bacteria inside that has no living relative. Posted by: weft cut-loop at October 25, 2023 08:53 PM (IG4Id) 221

My favorite killing in my neck of the woods a couple years ago, was a female teacher who hooked up with a guy at a tranny place in (IL) and brought along a 'friend', male. She apparently while on the highway driving back to hookup point to have a MMW 3-way with some Bi Shit, did not realize the guy behind her (she was in the front passenger seat) had just gotten out of prison and had an illegal gun. He took offense and shot her in the back of the head through the seat rest, then directed the driver to a secluded spot where he raped him in the ass.

The dehumanization of individuals and the carelessness with which human life is taken during incidents of gun violence stand in direct violation of these affirmations of our tradition. We are called upon to take action to prevent the loss of lives and end gun violence.
The Tikkun Olam Council has decided to join the following project because it aligns with our Jewish values and Bet Ha’am’s mission of reducing violence in the world: The Maine Gun Safety Coalition is a grassroots organization founded in 2000 to protect Maine families and communities from gun violence. They educate parents, administrators and the public about issues relating to gun safety, voice the concerns of their constituents to elected officials about gun legislation and provide free trigger locks to prevent the accidental discharge of weapons by children and unlicensed individuals. The Maine Gun Safety Coalition is starting a project called Show Up Network (SUN). They have rightly concluded that the only way to get gun safety legislation passed in Maine is to make sure legislators hear from gun safety constituents in the same large numbers that the gun lobby is able to mobilize.

The Maine Gun Safety Coalition is starting a project called Show Up Network (SUN). They have rightly concluded that the only way to get gun safety legislation passed in Maine is to make sure legislators hear from gun safety constituents in the same large numbers that the gun lobby is able to mobilize. __________ "Every citizen has a right to keep and bear arms and this right shall never be questioned." - State Constitution of Maine (1987) Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at October 25, 2023 09:41 PM (MoZTd) 377

I agree with Duane Allman at tenth.
That's the thing about guitar. How do you judge 'em ? The techniques don't even match. Campbell was an exceptional flat picker. Reed and Atkins finger picked. Allman played slide, easy. Clapton did a hybrid thing while all hands on the neck, and almost did it banjo style. Its one instrument that's so cool, because of so many ways you can play it, then include it in a band.
