Take your pick:

3 years old I took a corner to fast at Mervins and almost took out my right eye on a glass shelf, 2 stitches.

6 years old I tried to do a backwards wheelie on my bike by jamming my foot in the front fork… while going down hill and carrying a load of oranges in my shirt. Went right over the handlebars, came to a stop on my chin. 13 stitches.

[…] I really wanted a broken arm, so people could sign my cast, but I never quite managed to break anything.

Common in Florida, this sign warns tourists that locals may be wearing a banana hammock.

IDK man… in my experience vegan balloon-knot and carrots 🥕 🐖🦩🎟️🤙

I’m just guessing on the vegan part obviously…

I don’t think it was possible to ruin fractals 😭

So close! 365 is right around the next 4 corners.

Could have just been washing it for later consumption. Best to see if it’s still warm.

Bruh… they can’t afford to do anything but cheap out. It’s slow motion genocide. With nukes.

You couldn’t pay me to be an Olympic athlete these days ;-)

  • Toilets that don’t flush
  • Toilets that do flush, but the outflow is just a ditch behind the “dorms”
  • Cipro required for a brief swim in the… we’re doing what now? Am I in the wrong line?
  • Seriously, I’m an olympic swimmer… o-l-y-m-p-i-c not the X-Games™???

[slow clap]

I’m not picking on the people… hell, hopefully this project brings a bit of prosperity to the region. Down side, Russian tourists are a handful — search “what air defense doing” for someone awesome memes 😉

I’m sure all those buildings are; well designed, well constructed, fully furnished and, well staffed ;-)

 

Fine work you’re doing here… really hope I can hand a lend someday.

 

Anyone notice siri no longer recognizes common foreign idoms anymore? Either in TTS or Ask Siri… The only concrete example I have is recognizing “Croque Monsieur” since my love for hot ham sandwiches has spanned the ages… but I feel like there’s something more nefarious at work here.

It feels like used to be able to ask for a info about random foreign words and it would at least trigger a web search for something phonetically similar, which would often get me the translation I was after. But lately* the TTS engine is militantly transforming everything into English. Obviously this is more subtle and open to other interpretations, but for example I just asked her what “hikikomori” were which got interpreted as “Hickam Morty,” with top hits for the show Rick and Morty.

 

Not sure if I just haven’t noticed the standard disclaimer before or if it’s a new “feature” 😬

 

Okay, it probably doesn’t really qualify because it’s; new, high-budget, directed by Zac Snyder, etc. But hear me out. This hot mess starts with space-nazis vs space-vikings, takes a turn through Star Wars, Oceans Eleven, space-Rome, and a few tropes that defy easy space-hyphenation.

To say the plot makes almost no sense would be generous. I’m loathed to spoil the greater arc here, but the plot does hinge on a village on the edge of space being forced to harvest grain in order to feed a passing army… there’s probably a Kurosawa reference here somewhere, but good movies just aren’t my jamb so I wouldn’t know ;-)

As I stare at the frozen credits at the end of part two and contemplate my life I have to note that there must actually have been footage cut from this movie (you’ll understand if you watch it) because they credit a Snake Wrangler!

So, if you have 4-5 hours of free time this weekend, a Netflix account you haven’t already cancelled, and are allergic to nice weather, I humbly submit, for your consideration: Rebel Moon parts I & II.

………. (All the periods I probably should have used)
