From a very old thread around here:

 

Heaven is a motorcycle, a million miles of road, and all eternity to ride.

 

Hell is the same scenario, but the bike won't start.

Took a ride to Billstown Arkansas to visit the final resting place of one of the greats today. A humble end for such a tremendous talent. Probably 15 graves total in this tiny family cemetery. Sad.

We took this a one of the slide parks in Okinawa.  A slide you could not have here in the States due to some idiot that would hurt themselves and sue.  These are "roller" slides.  Super fast and will burn your butt if you don't use cardboard as a buffer and even with that, you feel the heat.

This is a standard slide, but that first step is a doozy.  It is straight down,.....really, just straight down.......I'd see lawsuits galore in the States.

Lawsuits, NRPA and USPSC are why we can't have fun toys to play with.

Years back one of the local radio stations would broadcast the most ridiculous lawsuits filed and won of the year. Their  consensus was that the judges that heard and allowed such buffoonery in their court rooms should be removed from their positions. They proved that common sense doesn't always prevail , even at the top.

Laugh if you want, but soft toilet seat covers (removable/washable) are a legit thing in Japan:

For real luxury, you can pick up a Toto "Washlet" seat, which - in addition to blasting your nethers with warm water on command - also keeps the seat comfortably heated.  Nice in the middle of the night when the house is cold.

I especially like how that blast of warm water will throw you right off the seat if you are not prepared for the pressure.  Seems Tewks fire engines likely don't have the pressure of those "seat bidets".

Years ago, I used to deliver refined China clay to Toto, USA and got a chance to use one of those toilets, which were fairly new to the market.  They had one in operation in the Maintenance building.  Yeah, it takes some getting used to the water stream, but the warmed seat was a welcome feature.   Meh, to each their own.

looks exactly like a Scottish Highland Cow (Pronounced phonetically "Heeland Coo").  I petted one in the Scottish Highlands, shortly after touring the Glenlivet Distillery.  :beer:

You heard about the newlyweds who mistook window putty for KY jelly?  

 

 

All their windows fell out.

Watch the Wrecking Crew, many of the "musicians" of the 60's didn't record their work for the albums, quite interesting.  Glen Campbell was part of that studio group.

A really fantastic story.  Great documentary.

Ah ha! :grin: How I became "the 2008 recruiter of the year"! :yes:

 

Ya, if only I was a recruiter at that time, these photos would have helped.

 

Anyway, the P.I. is a nice place to pick things up.

Thanks for the warning.  There is no nudity involved in this, so, don't know what could be inapprpriate.

 

But the below is ok and women on BMWs is fine too

At least Richard’s had dental floss in the pic. :dontknow: The one above, looks like they removed the painters tape and just left the black spray on paint. :spittake:
