I always thought bulldogs got a bum wrap from the animated cartoons ,
mainly Disney depicting a bulldog like these guys as possibly monstrous
and definitely dangerous
Never having watched “The Andy Griffith Show” I don’t know if this was ever used on air or not.
“Fishin’ Hole” (I didn’t find who’s singing in my short search either)
Another one where YouTube forces the ad (sigh).
Love Stan Getz’ saxophone. Enjoying the 5/4 time signature. I’d like to find something that will explain a phrase, “come down heavy on the 7 and the 13”, which is part of a joke. Found a youtube video that explains a 13/16 time signature.
A time signature of 13/16 means, technically, that there are thirteen beats per measure and that the 16th note gets the beat. Most non-standard time signatures are, in effect, sub-divided into smaller units of two and three. For example Take Five, using a 5/4 time signature, is sub-divided into two plus three. There will almost always be an accented downbeat, on one, in any time signature. Come down heavy on the 7 isn’t so odd in 13/16, but the 13 would be very odd. However, I would need to know the rest of the joke to try to explain the phrase.
I totally believe you, even though I have never heard ofSamulnori, and I know not the least thing about it.
There are so many musical traditions around the world. As usual, we Western Europeans assume that what we believe to be the apotheosis of musical sophistication, must in fact be so. Not only for us, but for every other culture we encounter. Even our reliance on a twelve-note equal tempered division of the octave is vastly less complex than the scales and harmonies of Eastern music.
I barely traveled, especially overseas, even before the pandemic. Since, I have gone exactly nowhere that I did not drive to in one day. But I very much enjoy hearing the music of other cultures. I find that its rhythmic pulse – and there always is one – is a good access point for me. My family knows this, and has on several occasions brought back a recording or two of whatever the popular indigenous music was. Taking the word of the seller on that account.
There is a glitch in the Matrix.
When I clicked on your U.R.L. I got the error message I posted.
After I figured out what Tigressy meant, I copied and pasted the U.R.L. into Notepad.
With it stripped of active status, I then copied it out of Notepad and pasted it in the address bar as per Tigressy’s instructions.
Not only did it work, it posted as the video it is.
I did the same thing again from step one, posting it as my own comment; and the results you see below.
The attachment shows what I pasted from Notepad, and what you posted originally.
As I said, there’s a glitch in the matrix.
Two other fun movies (from 1998 instead of 1999).
“Sliding Doors” and “Run, Lola, Run.”
I’ve always characterized “Run, Lola, Run” as “Sliding Doors” on acid.
People if you go after “Run, Lola, Run” I recommend you get the full German language version and use the subtitles (except Tigressy,of course), they’re very well done.
I tried to watch a dubbed English language version, and quit after less than ten minutes.
Franka Potente, the star, plays her role brilliantly.
There are also at least two versions (I consider myself fortunate to have stumbled upon the second) of the film. The main plot is exactly the same in both, but having watched one, try for the other, you’ll notice the differences at specific points if you pay attention, but as I said the main plot is identical.If there is a third version, I want to see it too. I’ve taken up enough pixels for today.
And you won’t see me until at least Thursday.
highly recommend ‘Sliding Doors’ …..it shows that little events that
are changed in one’s life can turn into huge differences in the way it plays out.
plus, Gweneth Paltrow is the female lead
I have no idea where this is, but I definitely agree with the title line. (14 seconds)
Spring manufacturing video (and the machine looks like something from the 50’s). Fun! (29 seconds)
This is interesting up to the 1 minute 22 second mark; after that, how much more do you need to watch.
Did the camera operator speed up the video?; which would mean those turbines are turning really slowly, or can ocean going ships move!
As Dennis drew to my attention below Itemfix, where all these videos come from, has shut down back-access.
Here is what the video is about from the site itself.
Wind turbines appear to be partially ‘underwater’ but still spinning in this mind-bending optical illusion filmed off Sheerness, Kent, UK yesterday (November 2).
(my birthday, incidentally)
The explanation for this very strange sighting is due to the optical illusion caused by the curvature of the Earth over long distances. The wind turbines are believed to be part of the Gunfleet Sands offshore wind farm – which is nearly 30 miles away from Sheerness – but because the turbines are so tall, their upper parts are still visible to the viewer. Most house-sized or smaller objects disappear over the other side of the horizon after around 5-10 miles for someone standing at sea level. Footage also shows at 1:10 a distant ship that appears to be partially submerged on the horizon due to the same effect.
Me too. There are tons of videos on YouTube showing different things being made…
I get almost hypnotized watching some of them.
Candy canes twisted, thread wound on spools, bottles filled… lots of cakes being decorated
…
Ever since I was little I’ve liked to think about it…
I remember figuring out in 2nd grade that toilet paper and paper towels must have been made on very wide rolls and sliced into shorter ones, cos the edges were so even…
I asked my parents and my teacher, and they just said “Who knows… why do you care?”
I can see how it could be a lot of fun if one was not thrown into it unprepared. Engineers of all stripes, designers, are always people who grew up fascinated by what they now do for a living. I’m guessing that you learn, by working with successive numbers of inputs, how to best utilize each input and minimize the steps. That could be an enjoyable challenge. AND I hope it pays well.
The Crystals – I always wondered about that line, “I knew that he was mine so I gave him all the love that I had.” I guess since he took her home to meet his Mom and his Dad, it all worked out in the end.
upon looking over the comments, your correction to my idiotic (my opinion) mistake was so cryptic that I had no idea what just simply
typing out ‘were’ meant…..next time say, hey dummy you f….ed up again!
it usually takes a good whack upside my head to get my attention
At least you didn’t show the actual back, and our little hideaway.
We need to tidy it up a bit, and maybe hide our candy stash…. I mean… um… vegetables… we’ve got nothing but… uh…raw broccoli back there, right Montana Lady?
you may remember I did a ‘Life’s mysteries’ strip where Claude asks the obvious question: if it’s not ‘out of whack’ does that mean it’s “in whack”?
and if you’re ‘in whack’, doesn’t that mean you’re whacky?
In some quarters, saying that a thing “is wa(c)k” means it’s awesome. It probably means the opposite in some other quarters. I don’t know. But Claude’s essential query still stands. Perhaps it’s “into whack.”
There’s a couple of the brightest, cheeriest smiles I’ve ever seen.

I haven’t any clue as to ‘ “come down heavy on the 7 and the 13” ‘.
I tried some things until I got it: Copy the line (not the link!) and paste it into an address bar.

In Samulnori, that kind of thing is normal.

She is extraordinarily easy on the eyes.

Front the speed of the gulls, and the speed of the birds on the water at the end, I have to conclude that this has been speeded up a bit.
PS what title line?
It never occurred to me that the site would shut down “back-access.”
The title line:
“And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it’s done.”
The SITE
I never even looked at the gulls, I guess I should have. 🙂
That is a VERY impressive job of backing up and steering through a maze of parked cars.
I hate to think what all those cars would look like if I tried that. Crunch!
Me, too!
I found the spring video interesting because I’ve designed things to be manufactured on 4-slide machines. It’s fun.
I never thought about how springs are made ~ this was interesting.
I always enjoy watching how things are made.
Me too. There are tons of videos on YouTube showing different things being made…

Nowadays you can watch it happen!

I’m guessing that you learn, by working with successive numbers of inputs, how to best utilize each input and minimize the steps. That could be an enjoyable challenge. AND I hope it pays well.
The first video of the car park was simply AMAZING!!!
The Crystals – I always wondered about that line, “I knew that he was mine so I gave him all the love that I had.” I guess since he took her home to meet his Mom and his Dad, it all worked out in the end.
I think you have to watch with a 1950’s mindset…
A lot of lyrics sound much more knowing, with the background of the 21st century.
She probably didn’t mean what we 2021 listeners think she meant.
Two edits:
1) What d’you mean, Claude?
2) You were saying?
thanks for that. it’s fixed now
(sniff)

Like a mule? 😀
I would never advocate striking an animal
Mel Blanc must have loved doing the voices for these kinds of cartoons.
And his timing was perfect.
Funny! I love Bugs!
I love Bugs but the camel-bashing just isn’t funny to me.
..
They’re small. I’ll take two.
Look at all the fins! 😀
They cost a ffew fins, too. As I recall, the average price of a house at that time was about $12,000 or 13,000.
WHUMP! snerks
Haps Monday Cleo and Co peeps!
.
.
What do you get when you cross a cappuccino and several Harvey Wallbangers?
.
A really wide awake drunk.
Y’all have a great start to the week! (((((HuGz!)))))
Psst…
47 Days til Christmas
That was funny ~ until you got to the Psst.
You’re Welcome
We don’t need sophisticated and subtle when we got funny! And this is funny!
Those videos of soldier dads or moms surprising kids always makes me cry.
Hey, Gang, come and see. The Cliffords got a new big screen TV! WooHoo!
I felt a behind-the-couch view of the Clifford living room was long overdue.
of course, that’s a view you and SusanSunshine are entirely familiar with 😉
That’s because we’re both too sophisticated to watch a movie at the Clifford’s ON the couch along with everybody else.
At least you didn’t show the actual back, and our little hideaway.
We need to tidy it up a bit, and maybe hide our candy stash…. I mean… um… vegetables… we’ve got nothing but… uh…raw broccoli back there, right Montana Lady?
well, I understand tonight’s menu features rum ribs
and if you’ve ever had your ribs rummed, you know how painful that can be
They’re almost done. They smell divine. I made a whole bunch. You all come by ya hear!
I’ll hop on my camel and be right over.
And spinach. don’t forget the spinach!
Chilled raw spinach with mandarin oranges and feta cheese. Yum on a hot day
Sounds great!
Good morning everybody!
Um… what? Really?
Well, sometimes my time clock is a little out of whack.
At least on Cleo, we’re not out of “Whump!”
Wouldn’t want to be unfashionable.
…
Not often that “Cleo and Company” goes meta…
Then again, we shouldn’t be surprised that they know they’re in a comic strip.
After all, Cleo is an actress…. a movie star, no less. And I saw Clara and Claude on a movie poster, so maybe they know they’re actors too.
…
But really, Claude, you say the leaves all falling in one big whump is the “latest” thing, lately….
But then it sounds like this is only the second time this year…..
so when did those other strips do it? 2020?
Doesn’t that make it last years thing?
…
Don’t worry… It’s ok.
If you were totally fashionable you wouldn’t be our Claude.
And besides, it’s still funny. That’s what matters.
out of whack.
you may remember I did a ‘Life’s mysteries’ strip where Claude asks the obvious question: if it’s not ‘out of whack’ does that mean it’s “in whack”?
and if you’re ‘in whack’, doesn’t that mean you’re whacky?
Yes.
In some quarters, saying that a thing “is wa(c)k” means it’s awesome. It probably means the opposite in some other quarters. I don’t know. But Claude’s essential query still stands. Perhaps it’s “into whack.”
I think that Take Five is the best Jazz combo piece ever written.
Brubeck was a genius.
A WHUMP is as good as a WHOOSH to a cheapskate cartoonist.
But there’s nothing better than a good, sound FLOOP.
Nope.
