From yesterday.
My first clue that it was going to be a bad movie was your clip (Don Adams playing Maxwell Smart is Don Adams playing Maxwell Smart), the second was the opening credits’ frames saying it was “Based on Characters Created by MEL BROOKS and BUCK HENRY.”
Me being me I decided to see how bad it was going to get (believe me when I say BAD). I gave up after 36 minutes (I decided it couldn’t get any worse.
I figure Don Adams must have needed the paycheque.
Again, thanks though.
If that branch falling wasn’t planned, either as a stunt or sabotage, depending on whether the victims knew in advance…
then why was somebody right there to film it?
Nobody’s going to stand there all day with a videocamera just in case a branch falls right when a motorcycle(?)(couldn’t get a good look) is approaching.
And those guys just jump up and walk away… They don’t look very surprised. One brief look back, and they’re not even trying to pick up the bike
Many years ago, probably around 2004, I was driving near Mildenhall, Suffolk, and this sort of thing happened to me. I went around a RH curve (Remember we drive on the left) and a dead tree was directly across the road in front of me. I stood on the brakes and managed to stop in time, fortunately the car behind me was the same type, and also managed to stop before running into me. I mention this bit because the car I was driving had ‘Emergency Brake Assist’ which meant that if you had to brake heavily the ABS pump added to the pressure in the braking system and stopped you quicker, plus it activated the hazard lights.
The thing was, I had just passed two cars heading in the opposite direction, which had just come around the curve, so the tree must not have been across the road when they passed, it must have fallen directly behind them. There was only something like 20 seconds between me passing the cars, and seeing the tree.
Didn’t happen unless you have pics to prove it! (Just kidding!!!)
It’s actually an interesting conjunction of happenstance.
You were driving on this very road.
A dead tree happened to have fallen across the road at just this time.
You noticed it soon enough to stand on the brakes.
Auto designers had learned that rolling friction was better than sliding friction.
Your car had ABS pumped brakes.
The car behind you also had ABS pumped brakes, so you were not struck from behind.
And…you are on this website where you can share what happened to you with us so we can also enjoy it. As they say about developments in knowledge and technology, “Standing on the shoulders of giants”. It’s nice to acknowledge them once in awhile.
Thank you for sharing your story (and allowing me to hijack it just a little bit).
I call shenanigans. I think the motorcycle wipeout was caught on film and the branch edited in. If you slide the progress bar slowly, you see the trees all blur. the falling branch is initially clear but then it too blurs. I understand the motion blur of the falling branch, but the reaction of the rest of trees makes no sense. Finally, as the guy walks off, the branch, lying still on the road, is blurrier than its surroundings.
I’m glad Frogetta loves that scrubber-holder frog…
I know ceramic frogs need love too.
But just between you and me…. please don’t tell the object of her affections…. she can have him. …
…
I got one for a present years ago… first one I ever saw. It lasted maybe one day on my sink counter.
Every time I looked at it, it triggered my gag reflex… I had to hide it away, and eventually give it to someone else. The thought of it still does that to me.
And mine just had a red and yellow dish scrubber in it… the kind that looks sort of crocheted out of plastic. When I later saw the ones with metallic scrubbers like this one (I think) I could barely stand to look at them, and still can’t!
…
What’s funny is the that the friend I gave it to thought it was cute… But she couldn’t stand the little apron I had on the dish detergent bottle. She said it looked creepy cos it was headless.
It would be a good excuse, but I have no fear of single, large holes.
Trypophobia is specific…. fear or disgust at clusters or repetitive patterns of small holes, for some people, even bumps. They make me shiver, not gag.
I think the frog just makes me gag because it looks like he would be choking, and I have a strong gag response, for myself or sympathetically.
I have a very interesting observation of actions by Kiki in regards too Penelope.
Yesterday after Penelope left her potty box and started zooming, Buddy thought a chasing game had started and he jumped up to give chase. Kiki came out from behind “her” chair and jumped in front of Buddy. Stopped him cold.
This evening Penelope reached out to grab Fawn and Fawn took offense and snapped and growled at Penelope. Kiki flew the length of the bed and i think i stopped her from jumping Fawn.
Not five minutes ago Kiki decided to leave the room and Penelope was in the way. Deep growls and a hiss and Penelope levitated out of her way.
My poor Kiki is deeply unhappy. And maybe a little confused.
Kiki may growl and his and act jealous… but it sounds like she acts protective nonetheless.
That part doesn’t sound deeply unhappy… annoyed and a bit resentful, but it doesn’t seem like she attacks Penelope herself.
If you give her attention and the odd treat… especially when she protects the new cat…and don’t always pay more attention to the little one…. she’ll probably get over it.

“Surely, you jest.”

Now there’s some trust.
the trust can also be on the other end of that trunk…..man is more deadly to elephants than ANY other creature

Uh oh. Better not let MTG see this.
ah yes. MTG…
Who is MTG?

Fascinating. They’re actually a colony.

And they’re Chordates! More closely related to us than most anything else in the ocean! (Except fish…)
Yes. Yes i did.

See my post below.
Is Mopsy playing Peacemaker or Big Brother?
Definitely protector.
Could be affection for one over the other; could be that the dog senses that the cat on the right is still very young.
They cut out the final scene of two white cats sitting on a pile of black and white fur…

No shorts at Wimbledon 140 years ago.
Look at the size of the gallery!
Hear the tiny little roar of the crowd!
They were probably quite restrained in order to not distract the players. Classier then than now.
True… I just thought it was funny.
well played…bravo…bravo…
sorta like this
just the first ten seconds is sufficient
I’m surprised they permitted knickerbockers!
Knickers and plus twos and plus fours and such were pretty standard on the court… But only in white, and of course, only for men.

Great way to remember a memorable curmudgeon.

Ed Sullivan did, the first time.
They received complaints from the network before the second time.

A bit strange, this puzzle….
Notice there’s a #1 standing at the finish line…. Did he already finish first, or is he going to award himself to the first letter to finish?
I think he’s holding out for the duck.
Got it.

May I just say one thing?

No.

Excuse me. I need to change my shorts. Someone seems to have pooped in mine.
No, nae, never!

S’OK…. Experimentation is good.
And I like seeing the results too.

Thought so.
It’s just silly fun.
Leave your brains at the wardrobe.
I’m STILL wondering where the heck I left mine
Now you know.
Ya gotta wonder what these guys did to tick-off the universe…
If that branch falling wasn’t planned, either as a stunt or sabotage, depending on whether the victims knew in advance…
then why was somebody right there to film it?

Biker boy looks worse for the wear.
The camera is building mounted, it’s quite common in some countries to have cameras watching the approach to a building.

Yeah, I suppose we were both weird.
It triggered your fear of holes.
Gagging was the natural response.
It would be a good excuse, but I have no fear of single, large holes.
Trypophobia is specific…. fear or disgust at clusters or repetitive patterns of small holes, for some people, even bumps. They make me shiver, not gag.
I think the frog just makes me gag because it looks like he would be choking, and I have a strong gag response, for myself or sympathetically.
I sympathize. When i first started being a caregiver i had a strong gag reflex. It only took a couple of years for me to get over that…

If you give her attention and the odd treat… especially when she protects the new cat…and don’t always pay more attention to the little one…. she’ll probably get over it.
The pecking order has been disrupted. People are trying to sort it out. They’ll settle down once the new order has been re-established….
