One of my dad’s favorite shows… so in my childhood days of one-TV households and enforced togetherness, we never missed it.
The show
was called…
Sgt. Bilko, but it’s real title was The Phil Silvers Show.
Pictured are Silvers, as Bilko, and Maurice Gosfield as Pvt. Doberman.
….
I never was a huge fan, myself, but apparently the show has retro charm for Gen Z, or maybe millennials… you see the odd St. Bilko t-shirt or mug in hip shops.
Do not wear one of those shirts to Nepal or China!
I remember news stories of a young American woman sent to prison because Chinese border guards thought the picture of Bilko on her shirt was the Dalai Lama … whose image is strictly forbidden.
She had a hard time getting out and returning home.
My all time favourite monster ! !
A fact to observe when watching “Godzilla” (or “Gojira”) movies…
When he’s the good monster things that would end his threat when he’s the bad monster have no effect on him.
He is turning to the left, which means the rotor must be turning to the right. The angle of the blades APPEARS to be pushing him into the ground. I don’t see a mechanism for controllinig the angle of the blade
Which is why you’re supposed to get out and test the crossing point by wading in with a long stick as well.
Plus it helps if you know what wading depth your vehicle can tolerate too, and remembering to go slow and push a bow wave to avoid flooding the electrics in the engine compartment.
The new kitten came out of hiding this afternoon.
I went into the back room to look for something and found her hiding under a chair. I stopped and talked to her and pet her and she accepted it all. Soon after she came out of hiding long enough to sniff around the piles of boxes. And even got up into the window.
Kiki has been hissing from the bedroom. 🙁 The dogs are acting like curious excited dogs. Although Fawn was nipping at Buddy after he got over excited.
I’m not sure how to read this. I hope i don’t get woken up at three in the morning to a cat fight.
It’s normal for the Kiki to hiss, it’s territorial. Once they’ve been introduced properly, and settled with each other, they should be fine. There might be a couple of minor scraps early on, but things should sort themselves out.
This morning instead of going to the back room to use the boxes back there Kiki pooed at the foot of the bed, and peed on the bed where i sleep.
She has made her opinion known.
I put one of the potty boxes in my bedroom until they have reached an understanding.
And why not? It’s a dog! It’s like a teenage boy.

Fake!
No! But it’s so natural!
I mean… just because it has opposable thumbs and um… you know .. . nipples…
you think it’s fake?
The only question is, AI or paintshop?
AI
Can’t be. Four fingers and a thumb on both hands!
But no toes.😁
Ya think?
.
Didn’t Eduard Munch paint a closeup of the guy in the second photo?
And so the Doberman pinscher was created
This was in re-runs the first time I saw any of them.
I was indifferent to it.

Oops … she was British.
It was longer ago than I thought, so it’s hard to find more than passing mention of it now.
But a Chinese border guard in Nepal tried to pull off her shirt.
one of my favorites….I have several DVDs of the show
Your Dad was US Army, right? Nuff said…
US Air Force!
,,,
“Aced my driving test, Dad! Can I borrow the car?”
Hey, c’mon…. the sign on the front door said enter, and the one on the rear door said exit.
American Ruth Law (1887-1970). In 1915, Law looped the loop twice for the crowd at Daytona Beach, Florida. 1914.
Yup.
We’re going downhill. Sigh…..
the evidence is all around us
Squiggle!

He’s shorter than I thought.
No… wait… He’s taller than those towers.
It’s the men…. Maybe Japanese Cheerios are very powerful.
Kinda partial to the jet-powered turtle meself.
The one I really liked was the giant stone Samurai who came to life with a maidens tears.
At least the first one (in each case). The later ones tended to be kiddie shows.
Are these the same guys that did the moon landing?
,,..
It’s hiding in the vets office a few comments up ↑↑↑.
Okay okay… Yeah… I see another one here, too.
Got her in sight.
Yes! Ever driven a fencepost? I’ll use the devise!
Yeah.Done that. Still got the driver in the shed. Didn’t know there was a powered version…
Why is he saying no?
It’s not manly.
Don’t be tempted to use it for something else..
Male equivalent of “Paige NO!!” 😉
I feel kinda out of the loop, here… I just googled “Paige, no”…. and now I’m going to pretend I didn’t. 🙂
The operator’s hand is in the wrong place. He’s gonna get WHACKED!
You have to give him credit for trying.
Without a counter-rotation device. he would be spinning like a top if it ever did get off the ground.
He is turning to the left, which means the rotor must be turning to the right. The angle of the blades APPEARS to be pushing him into the ground. I don’t see a mechanism for controllinig the angle of the blade
This falls under “some people’s job hazards” again…
And that’s why you don’t drive, or wade, through water you can’t see through to the bottom of!
If you have to wade through, use a long stick to check depth in front of you.
Yes. If that had been a drain she might never have come up.
You shouldn’t even drive through water you CAN see the bottom of..
it can be a lot deeper than it looks, especially if you’re looking from inside the car at windshield level.

I’ve set this to start just before it gets moving on the road.
An interesting car.
Thanks happy³ .
