Friday Ephemera (814)
Bait. || Old boiler. || Balloon surgery. || Coming through. || Choices were made. || Something is missing. || Incoming. || Question asked. || How to glue Styrofoam to fabric, and answers to other glue-related questions. || Just like a guitar, but with really hefty magnets. || Rather more leg than I was expecting. || The progressive retail experience, parts 721, 722, 723, 724, 725, 726 and 727. || I suppose we could call this irony. || School science project of note. || It’s hers now. || She’s called coconut. || Testing weightlessness, 1958. || “What animal is chicken?” || What do you mean, it’s distracting and inapt? What are you, sonny, some kind of bigot? (h/t, Smallish Bees) || Suboptimal solution. || May encounter fog. || All the fun of the fair. || And finally, incendiary felines to burn down your enemy’s castle, 1584.

Testing weightlessness…
My father piloted many zero-G flights for NASA, mostly in a little business jet, a Lear 23. I certainly don’t recall any mention of cats or dogs or etc.
He always said his great contribution to those missions was a super low cost super sensitive G-meter made from a rubber band and a lump of modeling clay.
Regarding David’s fondness for gin:
This is what his henchlesbians drink. (Seen on the last visit to the fresh market.)
It’s not just for shop teachers anymore.
It’s okay to be white. It’s more than okay to be white.
I showed my daughter the video about the cast bronze guitar. She responded with a video of a rancher annoying a bunch of broody hens (to get them to leave their nests), which process was surprisingly musical.
