Why?

I wonder who was the first ever to ask.

A toddler?

What?

Maybe before a human toddler it was even a different animal. In case you read the science section of the NY Times this week, you might gain greatly increased appreciation for the cognitive and social sophistication of the walrus ...koo koo ka ju.

Walruses are....kinda creepy yet fascinating in a creepy smelly way.

Not too many people would hang about their enclosure at the zoo for long.

After reading that article, my perception of the walrus has changed. They are just like large cuddly teddy bears who want affection, attention, and food ...oh yes, it's lunch time very soon and I'm having a triple decker liverwurst club sandwich on lightly toasted rye, with crispy bacon, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion mustard, mayo, with a bottle of Stewart's black cherry soda. And to prolong..est it even more, later soon I'll post of pic of it before I eat it ...cause I'm such a graphic guy.

When?

:]

blink!

and ?

to what degree?


...to add some length to this Space Cadet's post, I'll drop in this interesting recent report about Jupiter:

In what's beginning to look like a case of planetary measles, a third red spot has appeared alongside its cousins — the Great Red Spot and Red Spot Jr. — in the turbulent Jovian atmosphere. This third red spot, which is a fraction of the size of the two other features, lies to the west of the Great Red Spot in the same latitude band of clouds. The visible-light images were taken on May 9 and 10 with Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2.

i'd like to reserve a room near the top of the big circle. should be nice at this time of day.

Powerful storms can be interesting to look at and feel from nearby, though scary and potentially tragic to experience too closely, so I hope it's not too windy around the big circle. The wind velocities of the clouds on Jupiter associated with the Great Red Spot are close to 400 mph. Here's a few cool pics of earth winds ...no fire yet but that lightning is getting kinda sparky.

Not.

I ended up having Chick-fil-a nuggets and a cherry Coke.

I don't think you guys were making fun of me with the hungry & eating comments ...were you? :( In any case, yesterday I ate my liverwurst club before remembering I was supposed to take a photo of it and post here ...so I mentioned that oversight at my tech review meeting with out aerospace customer from California since it seemed at least as important as the next mission to Mars.
Today for lunch I had salmon and crab bisque, a light creamy tomato based soup with a lot of crab chunks, which was voted as "looks and smells great" by everyone at our table and it did taste good; plus the hot roast beef sandwich on a nice crusty roll cut into three pieces with melted provolone on the roll, I added plenty of horseradish and then poured the au jus all over it, and three 23 oz. glasses of Sam Adams lager to wet my whistle. I have to cut back a little over this holiday weekend to make up for the abuse.

I'll take over the abusing for you this holiday weekend.

Good grab, Eso. The baton is in your hands. I know you'll do us proud.


Just before I came back to this thread a minute ago, I was looking up a local source for 1/6 kegs to see which one I'm buying later today. Exton Beverage FTW!!!

Holiday weekends can be fun.

Stop.

Drop.

Shut em down open up shop.

Running for the hills
With someone I really love
And then we'll lay down.

Have you had breakfast?
Can we progress beyond food?
I love to eat, too.

I hope you guys are having a great time!

Your words reminded me of this song by Kate Bush that I just love, and since this is "longest" I'll put the whole thing here:

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

"If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill."

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me.
It's you and me won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
Say, if I only could, oh...

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me won't be unhappy.

"C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh..."

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems...

"If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill."

quantity, not quality.

When you're right
you might just be right
if you are.

Bloody well right you are.

a left and a right and a left and a right ...hugs with both arms

She cuts me no slack
until she minces garlic
and then unties me.

Who surfed the world's longest wave?

A mighty wave known as the Pororoca rolls up the Amazon, and other surrounding rivers, in Brazil. It is caused by the tides of the Atlantic Ocean, nearly 200 miles away. This wave is at it's strongest in March and April and attracts world class surfers for competition.

The record that we could find for surfing the longest distance on the Pororoca was set by Picuruta Salazar of Brazil, who in 2003 managed to ride the wave for 37 minutes and travel 12.5 kilometers.

Smile!
