Things That Amuse You

[glademaster]

I use my cart in the grocery store to enforce distance. I often keep it behind me, and the more I am encroached upon, the more I will wield the cart. It's not six feet however I have been able to get my point across on several occasions.

Love it, and I do the same. Keep it at arms length for maximum swing circumference and always be ready to flick it left or right. Sometimes I'll swing it side to side as I stroll down an aisle while channeling my inner Gandalf. "You shall not pass!"

Also love saying "boy, it must be really tough to be as old as you are and still not be able to read," whenever someone neglects to adhere to the clearly marked one-way aisles.

I have to be in the thick of the the anti-mask, Trumptard crowd all day, every day at work, I am unapologetic about being aggressive when it comes to limiting my exposure outside of work.

Well, the other thing you are doing by reducing encroachment is reducing other people's exposure to you since you are very likely to get it at work due to above mentioned deniers.

True, which is also why I really minimize my interactions outside of work.

Anyway, back to things that amuse me: a student driver was practicing their parallel parking in front of my house when I got home from work yesterday. I've never seen someone move a car that slowly before. It must have taken him 10 minutes to ease the car into the spot. It was a pretty good park job, though.

I'd shit myself. Bear probably vwanted to know if he could dine on a corpse.

On a less depressing note, angry bearded chickens amuse the shit out of me:





These girls are actually really sweet but the big old sideburns & giant goatees make them look really real pissy.

So I went fishing today in New Mexico’s Jemez Mtns, on the west side of the Valles Caldera. I like looking at google earth sometimes after a day out, and unexpectedly I came across this. Check it out, plug those coordinates into google earth search, then zoom in.

I find this amusing. Not really sure why.

[Meadow Skipper]

Heh, yeah. That can’t be a real plane, or is it?

Maybe they're filming the last season of Better Call Saul. (Wish they'd hurry up. I can't remember the plot from one week to the next, let alone years apart..)

MS a few years ago I stumbled across an F18 that got caught by the Google satellite photo. It had the same coloration but was moving a bit quicker so the 3 colors were much more spread out. I looked up how the sat photos are taken and that was the explanation for the 3 colors.

Low odds I can find the plane again but I'll take a look tomorrow.

Speaking of funny things you see on Google earth, or in this case Google street view. My dad is a big gardener. And also loves to yap with any neighbor who comes along while he's working in the yard. Pull up my parent's address in google maps and check out google street view, and you see him and a neighbor in the yard waving to the streetview camera car as it goes by.

Oh, and what I came here to post: no wonder the Nazis were such miserable assholes. They only drank decaf coffee. And, apparently, they were the original meth heads.

Is that Elmer and Betty Black?

It would have been even better if they had both mooned it.

Pretty funny. Hi Dad!

There's an op-ed in today's NY Times by Molly Jong-Fast.

So torn. On the one hand, it's a really bad idea to be on the side of the highway, much less setting up to rock our world on US 2. On the other hand. ...well. ...this is quite simply amazing. I mean, don't get me wrong, don't do this. But. ...wowzas.

If you have type II diabetus like I have, you're confronted with choices.

I was going to say 'where's Alien' but that was '79
