Well, before we got off-topic, I was hoping someone else would comment upon their own favorite version of Rube Goldberg contraption, then I, in turn, would post some more.
Glad to see you here, dlish. |
With no real explanation
nor indeed the will to give you one I'll give you something other. 2/2x3+0=3 |
This is, after all, TLTE, and staying on topic has never been .....
what was the topic? . |

Internal consistency, which we don't have & can ill afford, wouldn't suit us, anyway. |
I would wholeheartedly disagree with your sentiments.
We could all use a little order to our chaos, even it is just the smallest thing. Adiitionally, I would never deem it as something that would be harmful to our approach, 'ill' or not. (But, if we all are all thinking about what our post might contain, that does take a little while longer to finalize, thus delaying our speedy endeavor to grow. Was this ever a speedy endeavor, though? I do that. Throw out hypotheticals to my own hypotheticals.) |
Check the statistics.
Reckon for yourself where's up. I mean you no harm. that you might react to that, not unforeseen, still pleases wonder, as we might, & hard enough. |
Yes. Indeed. I know no one cares.
Though, continue to perservere through this apathetic sea, I do. And if I can but please my OCD monster, even if it is in opposition to my OCM? monster, I do it for the benefit of all (that, too, sounds eerily familiar). And, if I can look at not shy away in disgust to the nonsensical banter, but actually stop a moment and take in the wonder of that which I had forgotten, I've achieved my aim. I have shared and experienced joy, two-in-alike. (just wish I could convince others to jump into the pan.) |
We're not competing.
I'm thinking you once knew this ...cooperation. # of pictures holding words without # regretting some few X # of words that a picture can't show you come all in the dark |
And so, for a farewell and fond goodnight, I'll add the best and my favorite version of a Rube Goldberg contraption that is utilized in the conveyance and creativity of a music video.
(see? they follow the 'right' method to track identification) |

If you pick up the right frog though, rubbing him will actually make you feel loads better.

I hate to toot my own horn again, but I saved the life of at least one frog/toad. My favorite example is when my boys found a large snake with a big toad in it's mouth, already about half swallowed, and called me over to show me. I figured the snake can't bite with its mouth stuffed so I picked it up and a while later it finally spit out the amphibian, which we let go. After showing off the cool snake to their friends, we took it back where we found it and let it go, too. On the way back we encountered a very cool old woman, had to be about 90 years old, hiking in that park and when she saw us carrying the snake she made a big deal about it being an old "legendary" snake that's lived there for many years and we'd better not be messing with it...luckily we were already heading back to let it go or she might have set a spell upon us. In fact, either I'm getting old and keep repeating the same stories (just humour me, please) or she did cast a spell and I'm getting crazier by the minute.
|
you are now humo(u)red. (I cannot recall if you told the above story before, here, or there, to us, previously.)
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/...651e47b7b5.jpg Good Humor by Photo Daddio Also, I was once able to not save a frog / toad. When I was a young lad, a couple of neighborhood kids had uncovered a hopping critter in our local circuit of homes, and curiosity got the better of them. They picked up a nearly stick / log hybrid, cornered the creature, and went WHAM! Repeatedly, to the ground. I cannot accurately recall if I, too, took part in the stomping of poor Mr. Toad, but I did feel really bad afterwards. Kids are not the darnedest. They're miniature sociopaths. (that's the fact, jack.) |
Well now that you opened this can of worms, I'll admit that I was going to elaborate on my above story with another one about saving a different frog/s. When he was about 10 years old, I found my psychopathic younger brother and his psychopathic friends pinning frogs to trees with pins. Then they got the brilliant idea of sewing their mouths shut and letting them go. I interupted this insane game with my best "big bully" attack, smacking them around, punching anybody who even seemed like they were objecting to my enforcements, and cursing at them for being such violent ass holes. After a few of them were crying, I told them to release their bag full of frogs and if I even catch them doing it again, there will be hell to pay. Lucky I wasn't too pissed off! I wonder if there are any frog princesses?
|
You'd have to licked them to have found out. And there's another detail I seem to be findng out: as soon as a child turns 10 (4th grade) all decorum about language goes out the window. It's now horrifying to remember what I heard coming form the mouths' of my classmates, such foul language in which I have never heard in all my years, and that includes stints outside of a recruiting office, Black Studies class, Navy Rec yard, or some non-European prono. (was that spelling intnetional?)

Whoops.
Failing vanilla with quite a lot of syrup: Chocolate with nuts. |
I used to like popsicles more than real ice cream, but I was always a thirsty kid, and i really liked anything that tasted like juice. Favorite recipe concoction was Italian ice, either lemonade or stawberry. The reason why is that I really disliked how all ice cream was "hard", something I've always sought to remedy by letting the carton sit out for half an hour or so. Though, if I did want a good ice cream, it would always be at the local creamery shop, and usually in a kid's size cone.
Now, I haven't had a good popsicle in decades, and ice cream is still a very sparse entry into my diet. I have come to really like Moose Track's, ever since I disovered it about a year ago. Come to mention (ice cream), I think I've only ever tasted a banana split but just once in my life. |
Bananas' texture,
while so seemingly creamy, seemed misplaced for me. |
Not to sound contradicotry, but years ago, I hated bananas. They always seemed to be the driest sort of fruit available, and as a kid who liked his "juicy fruits", I was none too pleased.
Now, I eat more bananas in a week than I have ever eaten raspberry's in my entire lifetime. (I think it has something to do with a fungus, not the frog fungus mind you, but another one, that wiped out the most popular strain of banana decades ago. I'm almost sure this is the case.) |
The juicy fruits and vanilla ice cream remind me of the treat I had a couple days ago, see my pic below. A nice creamy but not too sweet Wawa vanilla and some dried pineapple and craisins. I can see adding nuts to it if I had any, with some caramel sause, so I'm putting those on my shopping list.

anybody know what a radio ball is?
clue: it's made with "Italian" water ice; put a scoop of vanilla ice cream at the bottom of a cup, top it off with cherry italian water ice = radio ball. Pretty good clue, eh? |

I just now watched the video accompanying the song.
I only wanted it to be an auditory listen, but at the time when I found the above, it looked to be an original music video, which I thought was cool, because I had missed it. Turns out it was only a re-hash of cut scenes. I'l like some re-hashed fritatas along with brown taters, if you would please. Pass the salsa ("you know why Salsa is so popular? People like to say 'Salsa!'") |

The thing about it is: none of the cars are truly "parked", otherwise wouldn't the drivetrain be ruined once forced through those conveyors if the wheels are locked? more like temporary relocation and holding, but that's just me being technical.
Thanks for posting that, BadNick. I had no idea... (that the robots were already so advanced). cue ominous theme |
Jet, I thought you have a thread about advanced robots taking over the universe. I'm sure you have one somewhere.
Perhaps this film clip below better shows how they park the cars while the wheels don't roll, so in fact, they can be in "park". I know the one they're building in Philly lifts the cars by the tires so they don't have to roll at all. Look at the last few seconds of this clip where you can see the clever levers sliding in slots under the tires. |
The Beijing Olympics will long be remembered for Usain Bolt's stunning 100 and 200 metre world records and a dominant performace from the Jamaican women's team. This documentary asks the age old question - Why Do Jamaicans Run So Fast?

Why sort through a coffee table full of remotes when all their jobs can be done by one handheld wonder, the PRO2 8-in-1 Universal Learning remote?
