Friday Ephemera (827)

Blind taste test. || Lateral motion surplus. || Suboptimal scenario. || More magic cardboard. Previously. (h/t, Stephanie) || Adhesion detected. || The H-Man, 1958. Is there nothing atomic radiation can’t do? | Seeing, doing finger-math. (h/t, Tacky Raccoons) || Note to self. || The strange, grim tale of Britain’s “Hannibal the Cannibal.” (h/t, Neatorama) || Another day at the office. || Roadside ladies. || At last, cheating sneakers. || A critique of Nolan’s The Odyssey. Includes the words “boringly modern.” || Does yours do this? And should you be tempted. || Some punching required. || The progressive retail experience, parts 748, 749 and 750. || “First of all, those are not my pronouns.” || Complications multiply. || Sweaty pleasures. || On Mancini. || Not Marmite. || Things foreseen, and unforeseen.
