TGIF! That methadone hit yesterday was great! Or so I was told. I don’t mess with preseason football except reading about it from folks who suffered through it. Anyway, we’re close. Some might classify us as edging, but I won’s be so gauch.

Word Count Filler Time

Let’s just precede this section with a [SIC] because I’m seeing double due to my breakfast and brunch and lunch and afternoon vodka servings. It’ll be fine I’m sure. No worries. Today’s subject is myth’s that aren’t true. Like *record scratch*. Oh, too soon I see. Maybe next year.

False News: No straight lines in nature.
Acktually: Have you never seen a crystal? Or examined a snowflake?

False News: Eskimo (sorry, Inuit and Yupik and dozens of other natives) have hundreds of words for snow what with living in it all the time.
Acktually: There’s no Eskimo language so this can’t be true. Admittedly, most of the natives have they’re own language that have more than one word for snow.

False News:  Primates such as monkeys and apes groom each other to and eat the fleas and ticks off each other.
Acktually: They’re just removing dead skin. And, yes, they do eat that skin. We should teach them the delight of grilled skin.

False News: Christmas is the most popular time that people self unalive themselves. (That’s code for suicide)
Acktyally: Suicides, I mean self unalives, are pretty static throughout the year. If anything, spring is the only slight outlier.

False News: You’re entitled to one call when arrested.
Acktually: You’re not entitled to shit except staying silent. You will most likely be granted the courtesy to make one or two calls.

Fake News: Sexy Friday rules.
Acktually: This is just filler to open up a Friday night thread where the rest of you can shine.

So, um, go shining on.

I’m making YRs chicken ans 40 lcoves. We take off next Friday to return to AZ. Its been in the 90’s for lows. I’m not interested.

My brother took a trip through CA last month. He seems about done with AZ too.

Fuck selling this company. May just shut it the fuck down and move on now.

Why is Jimmy Fallon?

Brick Meathook

He’s like Bill Maher: he must have a really really good agent.

Fronkenshteen

He’s playing it just right. Never rocks the boat, wouldn’t hurt a fly. Before you know it, Lorne Michaels will die, he’s going to have 40 years at the network under his belt and Jimmy Fallon will be the heaviest of hitters at NBC.

Bogdanski

Ciao Ayo. I like lady number 9, and she looks like she may be local, nice. Here’s a lady who knows a thing or two about foundation garments…

The Sasasasasasakatchwan Rough Riders (unknow if they only scored four rouges last year) are currently lead the Ottawa REDBLACKS (you have to yell their name), 28-14. The fourth just started.

THIS HAS BEEN YOUR UNNECESSARY AND NOT-ASKED-FOR CFL UPDATE BROUGHT TO YOU BY WCS

WCS

Whoa, Rough Riders now up 35-14. REDBLACKS have the ball and are driving; need a score to keep this within reach.

WCS

35-20 Sasasasasakatchwan. REDBLACKS tried (and failed) both the two-point conversion and subsequent onside kick. Three minutes to go.

WCS

…and that’s that. Rough RIDAHS score on the ensuing drive after the onside kick. It is 42-20 with 97 seconds left.

yeah right

It’s taken a few days but our new feline house guest has started to warm up to his hosts.

Granted Taj and I are pretty clearly NOT youngest right and youngest granddaughter.

But he’s a good boy and he’ll be fine.

I fucking hope so because he’s a goddamn BEAST.

He would shred a coyote and make him his breakfast.

My daughter failed to mention that her cat was as big as a fucking mountain lion.

He’s a good boy!

/ fingers crossed

Let’s see him!

Pics! You’ve mastered the cooking still-lifes, let’s see some kitties!

yeah right

I had to clear the photo through his publicist first.

That’s a full size gamer chair that he coopted.

#4 is an excellent example of flashbulb lighting, a very under-utilized technique that looks great. It can also be done with electronic flash as long as there is no diffuser, but speed lights usually diffusers built in. Soft light is not always the answer.

My avatar over there is a G.E. 25B bulb in a polished Graflex flash reflector; it’s called a “press bulb” because it was the standard flash for newspaper photographers from the 1940s into the 1960s, when electronic flashes took over. I have a veritable arsenal of flash bulbs that I’ve bought off eBay over the years when I find them at a good price point. They never go bad.

These are some of my bulbs. They go up in power by a stop each. The biggest ones are the GE-50s, which are atomic in brightness.

Here’s famed railroad photographer O. Winston Link shooting at night with banks of GE-50 photoflash bulbs:

Really great stuff. That bottom photo is a short story, sort of like #4.

All of Link’s railroad night photos were done in Southwestern Virginia and West Virginia from 1955-59, along the tracks of the Roanoke-based Norfolk & Western Railroad. N&W operated the last steam locomotives in the U.S; they built their own locomotives and they were fueled by their primary cargo, which was coal.

I’m going to visit the Link museum in Roanoke. Maybe my father-in-law and I can connect over it. Thanks for the k-nowledge, man!

My wife was instantly familiar with this artist, but wasn’t sure her parents had taken her to his museum as a kid. If we get a break from travel soccer this fall (we won’t), I’d like to do this, the Science Museum, and eating lunch or dinner during a VT game in a joint loaded with screaming Hokies one afternoon.

It’s so hot and humid in DC, it is officially August.

Things like this is why I stopped betting on baseball.

The only way this would have been funnier was same batter.

Because Venable would have been ejected.

blaxabbath

Also because the pitching coach is helping bookies make prop bets at the expense of the rube gambler.

Bullshit. Sexy Friday DOES rule!

As does #7….

I never thought I would say this, but I’m disappointed there isn’t a preseason game on tonight.

I wish I had watched the whole thing!

Actually, no. I had great luck with my cards in poker, and I would not have traded that. Hitting four of a kind on the flop when you are all-in is not something that happens every day.

Redshirt

Nice hit.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, it was one of those glorious nights where I kept getting the cards I needed right when I needed them.

#1 needs to get a gas cooktop.

Is it not?

blaxabbath

Probably is. I dont know. I got nothing to say.

Burrow is fine but I’m more concerned that Lawrence made the center look like a beaded curtain.
