as always, it;s fun.

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.

This is, after all, TLTE, and staying on topic has never been .....

what was the topic?

The Red-eyed Tree Frog
 

Well, I like staying on topic, even it is always ephermeral in the multitudes we experience.

By the way, for you Zooks:

Miniature yourself: TFP topic.

The incredible machine!

this was a game to make your own machine! haha! great time.

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.

regretting some few

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)

You cane still download this game, you know. I have versions 1 and 2. version 3 is out now as well...

Oh... and thanks for me froggies........

Sometimes frogs rub me the wrong way

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

Tummy Rub by *UffdaGreg

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.)

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?)

Spoonfeeding nonsense

I enjoyed the music, Jetee, & the frog stories, Nick.

I take it that the above's message states you are averse to ice cream?

Take it as you will,
& as you want to read it,
but I love ice cream.

(& palindromes)

Hey, I love being fortuitous enough to land a new page (but I also garner enough "luck" to get the last reply in the last page often enough that it annoys me).

What's your method of execution? (flavor)

I know. i owned the 1st, and then downloaded the 2nd and tried a demo of the 3rd but by then, i didn't have the patience to play it that much.

"The incredible Toon Machine!"

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.

I would have a plesuemasgsticplosionful if I was able to combine the above, serve, and then eat.

sorry. If you were closer I'd buy you one.

How do you know I'm not? (/ knocks on your downstairs kitchen window)

if you did I could hear it since it's within earshot of where I'm sitting

you are sitting on a chair... any more proof needed?

nope. I accept your story. Knock three times if you want to come in.

I'm sorry, I was spying on your 24 1/2-year-old neighbor doing her nightly yoga routine, in sync with her television. Did you call me?

shut up, I'm watching too

binoculars or should I get out my 4" catadioptric telescope?

This conversation now reminds me of a sketch done by a web acquaintance of mine.

icecream
crushed nuts

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?

One of my favorite flavors indeed. I should find a righteous picture of it, if it should exist. Back in a few...

I just noticed something while you were cheating on us and "doing the deed" elsewhere; we've won.

We have done it! (already) This is now the absolutely, officially, undisputedly, most replied to, and unequivocally, The Longest Thread Ever!

So, the only question that begs an answer is... when exactly did this happen??

Post #22203
Even though he was the very same one made us equal in length, not ten minutes afterwards, it was his post, at the precise time, that marked us officially as TLTE on May 9, 2010... a more than 4 year endeavor, now finally completed. Ever since then, we've quickly and easily sailed on past, not looking back or wavering, and we are hailed as champions (by only ourselves, I guess).

Would anybody else like a trophy, or commemoration, or at least a victory ice cream cone?

not sure if you knew this but mr mexican realised this a few days ago and reported the post when we surpassed the other record.

Yes, I read the post, must have overlooked it at the time, though, and now have quoted it as such that the above post captured by Zooksport was, indeed, the final bloody nail in WA's coffin.

So, will the staff be doing anything in the future towards this feat? Or, should (read as: will) we be rejoicing more as an "in-house, pat ourselves on the back" sort of kudos, because no outside of Tilted Nonsense cares?

I sent a report to the mods but nothing was said yet.

Did I hear "Hall of Fame"?

Silence is golden.
I'm amazed what can't be done

How 'bout the story?

I don't know what to say... Oh, now I remember:

in response:

Are the Tacos ready?

"Look what I can do,"
as a saying by Stuart,
always made me laugh.

You want tacos?

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!'")

I mostly eat Pace,
or some fresher, created,
& folks love to dance.

i just had to go back and find this

Nobody wonders

Am I late? Did I miss anything?

I mean those as rhetorical questions, since I'm feeling rhetorical.

"How much longer must our people endure this injustice?" is another example of a rhetorical question.

Haveagoodweekendeverybody.

its weekend already here :D

jetee and mexican, what sort of 'celebration' did you have in mind?

This is my test drive weekend. I'm beating up on dealer supplied turbo Mini Coopers at an autocross on Saturday, and beating up on my own hot rod all weekend in preparation for fine tuning on Tuesday.

Having fun with your testing
on the road to wherever you go
is the best way to get there.

22x3=66

I might be listening to Willie singing "On the Road Again"

Now that it's running,
oh, so smoothly, through my mind,
we will be sharing.

when i think of that song im automatically reminded of forrest gump, i guess thats the only time ive heard it. now to play rockband

That sparkling sensational,
if you can barely remember it,
still might have been worth its was.

(OMG, Sharon was right!)

I have a thread for that, you know (music + scenario stamped into your mind?... guess you weren't here).

Going back a little further, because I just don't know how to let things go, a picture, about juice (and my thirst for it):

"Good" has its shadings,

while it has both ohs.

I could have said "great" since it has "eat" at the end of it.

Speaking of parking tickets... well, this is just a parking nightmare.

they're building one of these in Philadelphia now

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?

...will always admit
their tricks are internally

I remember parking fondly.

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? With its large backlit scree n and support for all major brands (or it can learn from your old remotes) you'll find life a little easier with this smart little gadget.

Proliferated remotes
are much more confusedly pointless
than the ones who made them up.
