Friday Ephemera (741)
How the pyramids were constructed. || Overstepping. || Incoming. Or down-going. || Because it can be done. || Big woman, six-five. || Oh delicate Rose. || I’m guessing the dog is the brains of the outfit. || “A week after the boys’ detention, their families vanished.” || Sea view of note. || About this high. || Smoke, some shouting. || Sharp look, 1983. || Roadside baby parking, 1973. || It’s a miracle substance. || All-male semi-final in women’s pool tournament. || Problem solved. || Parenting scenes. || Parenting scenes 2. || Hiring based on competence? Can’t have that. || The progressive retail experience, parts 586, 587, and 588. || Pedro is trusted with children. || Docteur Qui. || Marital woes. || Fire helmet, safe word not included. || And finally, the return of the Ogmios School of Zen Motoring.

Excessive deference shown.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson enlightens us.

From the previous thread:
It drives me crazy that he uses the present verb tense. It sounds like he’s asking for current things that are too far. Of course they don’t answer. It needs to be a hypothetical:
“At what point would you say that the Left has gone too far?”
“What would you consider to be ‘too far Left’?”
“What extreme thing could the Left do to make you abandon it?”
Stuff like that.
Those goats look like sheep to me
Looks like it was going to burn out by itself, but good on the bloke who got there with the fire extinguisher. More effective than the people on phones filming it, or were they waiting on their fire extinguisher apps to kick in ?
Saw BB live for the first time last year. Sort of wish I hadn’t. But this is a common occurrence in my experience, so may be just me. Over a lot of years of going to see comedians, Jimeoin, John Cleese and Pam Ayres are the only ones that delivered as expected or even more. (and Kevin Bloody Wilson)
Back to Bill, he never did anything with any substance, flitted from this to that, but it never got going, however I am sure snippets of the same would look fantastic on Utube. We also got a bit of, admittedly very mildly, Climate bs. Is this in their contract ?
“The progressive retail experience, parts 586, 587, and 588.“
Japan says ‘Well, that’s enough of that. I’m out!’

Morning, all.
An erotic device.
Still marvelling at how driving around London can be transformed into a gentle, slightly agreeable experience.

Suboptimal scenario.
