lemming Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I thought it might be an emo eel. And I got called out to be frisked once, but they did a bad job completely missing the crochet hook in my vest pocket. (I had forgotten about it after my wife handed it to me while she went off to have her piercings looked at) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I'm sure they just didn't realize how many levels you had in crochet hook-jitsu. Burrito Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKJAM! Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 In answer to Log-Man's inquiry about how many albums a band gets before the fans say "i like their old stuff better"? One. Or none and one year if they released singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCloud2k2 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Death Tribble Says: File under WOAH ! So I see the squirrels chasing each other up and down the trees and now we are upto 5 of them. Fair enough but then one gets close to my window on a few twigs. And then another comes up and they are giving each other a hard time. And then what do I see ? One squirrel holding on to the other and fighting him as the second squirrel is holding onto the twigs of the tree and the both drop off the tree to the ground. We are talking about 20 odd feet here. And they both lived through it and went on chasing each other. Heh. When my in-laws sealed the whole in their attic the squirrels were using to get in, my mother-in-law heard a rapping at her (second-floor) window when she was sewing and saw a squirrel knocking on the glass as if to say "Let me in! It's Frickin' Cold out here!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 We have had quite a mild winter. Flooding and rain yes but very little snow south of Scotland. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan D. Hurricanes Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I was listening to the Beach Boys on musak when that musing occurred to me. The groups of yesteryear, it seems, produced many more albums before they wore out their welcome. But then, they were publishing one or two a year, sometimes more. There wasn't time to get worn out on a song or record. These days (damn kids!) a group releases one album and coasts on it for years it seems. Maybe it's just me, when there's an active group I like, but it feels like they take forever to release new material. And by then, fans are saying "I like their old stuff better." Just a thoughts.

Cancer Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 American's are lucky, each time they fly the government gives them a free massage (courtesy of the TSA). (source) I haven't been frisked either. And I went through checking twice in the last eight days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 We have had quite a mild winter. Flooding and rain yes but very little snow south of Scotland. What year was it that all of England and Scotland were buried in snow and ice? I'll have to try and dig up that satellite photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 The England one the Big Freeze was winter of 1962-63That was the winter we moved to Germany the first time. 17 cm of ice on Tegler See when the kid from the Santa Clara Valley moved there. Gave me recurrent nightmares for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 where did you find that? I think it was on APOD back in 2010. I had to google image search for it this time around. There's some really high resolution ones floating around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Tried ice skating for the first time yesterday, with the older offspring. Now my neck hurts. You are fortunate to have survived unmaimed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I didn't. I only fell once, but managed to bounce the back of my skull off the ice hard enough to see stars. I was not unconscious, but definitely stunned. Ice is hard. Who knew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
