Omaha is UP's headquarters. Every year, UP trundles "Big Boy" up for the College World Series baseball tounament. They have a special spot for it just outside the stadium and park it for the entire ten days. Oh, yeah, you can hear it pulling into Omaha and when it leaves. (Or, at least, I could hear it when we were still living in the house. The apartment is a good twenty miles south of where the house was.)
According to the late Mr. John Kennefick, Chairman of the board when I knew him, those big engines were built during WW II to make it easier and faster to move men and supplies from one end of the country to the other. UP kept them in action during a good portion of the Cold War -- just in case.

The Japanese and the locals ate each other in Papua New Guinea. It was a terror campaign on each side.
I had an Anthro prof who did a study on calories available in cannibalism, and he determined that strictly from calorie demands, cannibalism only made economic sense in the middle altitudes, since the highlands had better gardening and pig raising options, and the lower sea level areas had marine diet options. I wish I could know if he ever published, it would have been lit. Posted by: Kindltot at April 19, 2024 10:44 PM (D7oie) 115

Posted by: Dr. T at April 19, 2024 10:50 PM (g0Y4p) This was in the 80s when there was a push to claim that cannibalism didn't really exist except for minor ritualistic cultural practices, and claiming that it was common or done for economic reasons was a horribly bigoted point of view of benighted natives with a giant kettles, eating missionaries.

Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at April 19 That was before I became the Barre Instructor to the Stars. In those days, I was a Labor and Employee Relations guru for a large company who had a site in South Bend. I worked with Mayor Pete and the site’s local leadership team on a few community things before negotiations. Which was good, because I ended up locking our employees out, which is never a fun labor move. It got political, as those things do, so I got to spend some time with him in his efforts to support the union and keep well paying jobs in his town.

Whenever I hear that song, I remember my cat Kenny. I picked him up when he was 8 weeks old (I'd picked him out when he was 3 weeks). He cried ceaselessly as I drove home, EXCEPT when "Roxanne" came on the radio. He hushed up through the entire song. When it was over, he resumed his yowling.

Plus my daughter is autistic, so subtle humor is not something she gets easily. Not subtle humor is hard for her. She has gotten quite a bit of the word play, even if it’s a little dark. It’s a big thing for her. She is turning 13 in June (holy smokes!), so it’s not inappropriate for her age and for me it’s fun to watch the lightbulb go off when she gets the jokes.

And, TEXAS is the Saudi Arabia of Petroleum Production and Reserves in the Continental U.S. A HUGE percentage of the world's available Natural Gas awaits extraction and capture from Texas lands.

The "Howdy America" thing, breaks down as follows:
"Howdy, Dammit!" is a very common phrase, bumper sticker and adornment on many a car, coffee mug, tee shirt and other such, with it's origins in the Texas A&M University System and Culture. And, TEXAS is the Saudi Arabia of Petroleum Production and Reserves in the Continental U.S. A HUGE percentage of the world's available Natural Gas awaits extraction and capture from Texas lands. Given that "Howdy" rhymes with "Saudi", the loquacious lad coined the term: "Howdy America". Catchy, for about 0.5 microseconds. *pours bourbon* ONT Greetings, Horde. CHEERS!

He inherited Kovu with me and had no idea he had to outfit his home to accommodate them. He loves them now, because they are really cool, when they aren’t turning water faucets on or destroying something. Kovu is 11 and hasn’t slowed down a bit. Sabi is only 4, he bought him for my birthday so it’s his fault we have 2! They are now laying down on the bed so I am hoping they got it all out and we can go to sleep.

The wooden bomb story has been around for years, literally since the wartime period itself.
There is a lot of anecdotal evidence, and it appears that the story spread on both the Axis and the Allied sides. Historians can't sort out whether it did or didn't happen - for example, the wooden bomb featured above strikingly resembles a Mark IV Aircraft Float Light, which worked as a smoke flare dropped over a sea surface to indicate drift, and which also floated emitting a light signal, which could aid in locating downed pilots.

On The Why Files reference in my previous post, I really think Rod Serling may have cribbed from that one for two Twilight Zones episodes.
And if you aren't watching The Why Files, you definitely should be. It's endless diverting, and features an even-handed examination of unusual topics without being condescending or dismissive, while maintaining a rational, balanced skepticism.

The last tranny I recall seeing was in a convenience store off I-287 in Jersey. That would have been 20 years ago. I had no issue, seeing him as a big goofball who wanted to look weird, and I figured he knew he wasn't fooling anyone.

Posted by: leb at April 20, 2024 12:16 AM (SGfHY) Watching reaction videos, mostly from younger blacks, of Janis Joplin is fun. Now that women could belt out a song. And most are shocked by her soulful, bluesy voice that had such power. And they never heard of her. The other fun thing, well two things, about the reaction videos are there are some pretty good tunes reacted to and they often mention the musicianship and showmanship in the old rock videos. That and the oft-mentioned, "No autotune!" Watching reactions of Roy Clark on 'The Odd Couple' playing 'Malaguena' put a smile on my face. 'Who is this guy?' Some of them are really funny in what they pick out from the songs of my youth. They try too often to read meaning into rock songs. Some songs are just songs, especially Top 40 ones. Good songs, mind you, just not heavy on meaning. Maybe double entendres, though. Posted by: RickZ at April 20, 2024 12:29 AM (emlEe) 299

One big problem with bringing back steam engines is the lack of manufacturing, especially the steel. To replace the current engines would be well-nigh impossible.

Hybridize 'em. Stay with the boiler, but drive a multi-stage steam turbine, returning the used water to the water tank. Spin that turbine through a reduction box, pretty much same as a ship, but with some transmission speed ranges. Torque to the wheels would be smooooth.

You know, of all our current modes of transportation, railroads would be the easiest to convert to fully electric with battery power. One, they are already very efficient at moving vast tonnages of freight with a small volume of fuel. Two, they are on tracks, so their routes are constrained to fixed distances. Three, their motive power is already, at the axle level, electric, so you'd simply be replacing Diesel and generators with storage batteries. Put just enough battery on each loco that it can move itself around the yard for half an hour. Remaining batteries are in boxcar-sized modules. Each battery would be good for X miles in flat country, and less in the mountains, but those amounts would be known to a high degree. At stops, depleted batteries would be swapped out for fresh ones, and the train sent on its way. A big train with remote locos in the middle would have remote batteries, too, of course. Battery charging stations could be built where rail lines pass under or near major power lines. I'm not saying this should be done, as there is no need for it, but it certainly could be done.

One innocent phrase, die guten alten Zeiten (literally "the good old times") is one of the most sinister and hair-raising ever in that context. Because, as you can guess, they weren't looking fondly back to the days of Kaiser Wilhelm I or the Weimar Republic. Posted by: John Drake at April 20, 2024 01:49 AM (9Uomk) 368

Fun with East Germans. Have pics of my uncle at Checkpoint Charlie with his buds. They stacked picnic tables up to look over the other side. Which pissed the East German guards off. So of course they flipped the guards off. Probably my favorite pic of my unc....flying the bird.
Posted by: Duck Variations, David Mammet More fun with East Germans - met a fellow by the name of Ingo in grad school, who grew up in West Berlin. He constantly talked about how they would mess with the East Germans on the other side of the Wall, since on their side they could often drive right up to it. They harassed them constantly - called it "bordering." The stunt he was most proud of was when he and his teenage friends were able to mount a ladder in a flatbed truck and get close enough to the top of the Berlin Wall to toss several concrete blocks over. When they made impact, one or more of the blocks set off a landmine, and that whole sector of East Berlin came alive. Searchlights everywhere, dogs barking, Stasi all over the place! He said it took them several hours before things calmed down. And then Ingo and company drove a few miles further down, and did it again! Posted by: John Drake at April 20, 2024 01:59 AM (9Uomk) 376

Regarding the Berlin Wall, I finally grasped how remote that part of lived experience had come when I mentioned how astonished we all were when the Wall came down in 1989, and a Gen-Zeer, visibly concerned, asked me with a serious expression on her face, "Did anybody get hurt?"
I immediately had an image of Stasi Grunts Dieter and Karl cursing the cold, stamping their feet, and dragging on those horrible cigarettes they had in the German Democratic Republic, when they hear a creaking noise.
