I feel the need.

The need...

...for weed.

Me too.

I don't know if this will post, because I can't see this one thread at all.

I am looking forward to using my new machete on the ivy in the front yard when I get home

Cormac Macarthy is the shizzle.

Agreed, but what brought that on?

Just post whoring per thread title, I finished All the Pretty Horses this am. Damn he's good.

We're new here. Hi to everyone.

Are you separate people; or, both in the same body (maybe a Royal We)?

:welcome:

We are a couple from Australia.

Hi couple!

Hey couple!

Welcome to the Cellar - make youself at home, but please, mind the trapdoor - there's all sorts of shite down there.

:)

Welcome Couple!

Don't let the cat out.

Thanks all, you're most kind.

Hi, couple, welcome!

here's a little quizzicle to help us get to know you better if you so desire..... don't argue over that answers though ....or are you a hive-brain type of couple?

I picked up the ashes today. I was shaking as a left to go there. But I've put googly eyes on the box now, so I feel a bit better.

TripAdvisor: Not Fucking Recommended

Also, I went back to work. And then I took Thor to his swim team end of season banquet and in an unguarded moment driving in rush hour on the freeway, i wondered if I'd see him going the other way on his way home from work, as i sometimes did when I made that trip at that time. It wasn't fun, but expected and I survived it, so I will survive. Probably ;)

:cry:

heavy day

Damn, you are a fucking nut.:lol2:

You will absolutely survive.

I was going to take a picture but I though t better of it. Rough evening, right now, can't find a venue for the stupid memorial thingy. Yes, I have friends helping. Swim moms rock

I guess we never shared the googly eye thing? On the second chemo ever, his feet were sticking out of the blanket as he slept, so I eyebombed them. His boots have had a pair of googly eyes each since then. Sure enough, they fall off, but miraculously, they reappeared each chemo session when he slept. Then they started appearing al over the consultation rooms. (many are still there that appeared more than two years ago. Nothing is safe.

One of his bucket list items we didn't manage (yet) was an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records. We were mentally working on it along this theme..... ever acquired a few supplies... maybe.... and i plan to continue -the kids and I all have his name, so if we make it, so does he :)

We usually stick flags in the snow piles at the end of the drive. this year it was huge googly eyes on sticks

Oh wait, of course you knew, Intergalactic Googly Eye Day is coming right up....

26,362. That's my wife's spot in line to buy Hamilton tickets at the Kennedy Center in their random order online ticket sale this morning. Our friend has spot 4502. The friend will get tickets. I think we probably won't but don't actually know. It's a big theater, sales are limited to 4 tickets per purchase, and it will be here for a couple months.

The whole thing is kind of crazy. Everybody wants to go see Hamilton because everybody wants to go see Hamilton.

I don't even care about seeing it, but my son thinks it would be cool, so we'll try to get tickets. Our New Years' resolution was to take advantage of the cultural offerings in this town more. So far, we're doing well on that front.

Regarding the Googly Eyes...


I came across this game a couple weeks ago, snapped a picture cause I was thinking of you guys..,.. Anyway.. Here it is.

oh good lord, 50% of us have fucked up vision as it is

A friend of mine is a member, so he got through in the first round, and got me one of his four.

Member of what HM, the Kennedy Center?

Yes

Happy Centenary to our British wimmenz dwellars.

Having done the usual Wednesday morning trip into town for a spot of hunter gathering around Tesco, I was back early enough to go for a haircut before lunch.
The girl who cut my hair was cheerful, easy going and a delight to chat with.
I didn't have the heart to tell her that she'd parted my hair on the wrong side.

And I still left her a tip. :)

Well, there was a mirror involved...:)

Looks like someone came out with a motorized bike for socialists.

18 mph? Get the fuck off the sidewalk. :eyebrow:

It's a bicycle at any speed. Get the fuck off the sidewalk.

This.

My YouTube recommendations frequently include dog rescues carried out by 'Hope For Paws' in Los Angeles.
The other day I chose to view the story of an abandoned and aged German Shepherd.
The video started off with the outbound journey and within seconds I had spotted a dismantled Spitfire in RAF markings on a low loader.

I found the serial rather difficult to read but eventually settled on R9632.
A number of searches point toward it being used in the making of the film 'Dunkirk' and being owned by Comanche Fighters of Houston.

I'd hesitantly suggest that at the time the video was made the aircraft had arrived back in the US still wearing its temporary markings, rather than being on its way to the UK.
Owned by a firm in Houston and on a truck in LA?
Something of a puzzle.

Anyway, to finish off where I started...

Cool find, that may be the Houston skyline in the background.

At the 9 second mark a sign for Vermont Avenue is briefly visible...

... and barely a second later one for little Bangladesh

Both are in LA although I can't pin down the major road they were driving on.

Yes, I do have time on my hands! It's very hot this afternoon and I'm staying in the shade.
Could do a lot worse than be here. ;)


ETA: Found it! US 101 Hollywood Freeway. Street View.

Attachment 64299

Is that an anti-tank mine?:eyebrow:

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that it's not.:cool:

Click backwards from the Street View link and there is a group of yellow barrels on the right.
It appears to be the lid from one of those barrels.
An anti-tank mine would have been a more interesting explanation!

It's never an anti-tank mine.:sadpace:

If nogoodniks were to plant a mine, wouldn't they disguise it as a barrel top or something?

Unless they were no good at planting mines.

Maybe it's a claymore mine...

Cute.

I think this one they're calling a Russian spy looks like Robin Williams.

Damn, she also looks like an ex-girlfriend who was dangerously crazy. :eek:

Well, she ain't no Anna Chapman.
















But, she'll do.;)

WTF?!

Does she have six fingers on her left hand???

LOL
