Odd video: [link]
It's video of a car ferry pulling away from the dock. Except for some strange reason, someone's tied a rope to the back of a pickup truck on the ferry, and tied the other end to the dock....
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Punishingly Intricate
Bombs in India and Spain, in addition to the usual places of course.
oy, yeah. This pissed me off more than usual when I heard about it. Come on, HUMANS, Nature is out to get us! Must we turn on one another too?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The numbers this morning are horrifying. 15,000 dead, another 40-50 thousand missing. Between natural disasters and man made disasters the news is very upsetting stuff. Bombs in India and Spain, in addition to the usual places of course.
Yeah. This is the biggest earthquake in China since the Tangshan earthquake in 1976 (Wallybee remembers feeling that one over 1,000 miles away) - the official death toll for that one was 250,000, and the actual toll may have been up to three times as many. Tangshan at the time had a population of 1.6 million. (It wasn't regarded as earthquake-prone, so the buildings weren't built to withstand one.)

Art Crawl!!!
Exactly!
That Chilean volcano, the cyclone (and another is forming - nice), earthquakes, tornados all across the southern part of this country AND we've got to kill each other too.

Extremely creepy ad for men's pants (from 1970-ish) [link]

text of the ad:
Though she was a tiger lady, our hero didn’t have to fire a shot to floor her. After one look at his Mr. Leggs slacks, she was ready to have him walk all over her. That noble styling sure soothes the savage heart! If you’d like your own doll-to-doll carpeting, hunt up a pair of these he-man Mr. Leggs slacks.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I thought it was bad, and then I saw the picture. Gah.
