Three Beers Later has two classic Thanksgiving clips; one from the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and the other the infamous WKRP Turkey Drop.
I saw the Tonight Show clip a few years ago, when I checked the “Best of Carson” DVDs out of my local library. I have to admit that I fell to the floor laughing so hard I almost choked when Doc responded to Johnny’s invitation.
I have the annoying habit of not moving photos from my camera to my computer in a timely basis. As a result, when I import the photos into iPhoto, and it asks for an event or roll name, I usually don’t provide one, since there are normally a half-dozen or more “events” represented among the photos.
In any case, this particular photo dates from a trip to a discount bookstore about a month ago. I just thought it was an interesting category for the book to be filed under.
Lots of miscellaneous stuff here today. I actually started the post yesterday, but my browser crashed. Good thing I’d saved a copy of the article-in-progress before that happened.
First, Everything You Need To Know About Human / Cat Relationships Summed Up In One Picture.
Need a laugh track? Perhaps something more versatile?
Guns are such horrible, evil, nasty things that in England, you can now be convicted and sent to jail for turning in a weapon someone discards on your property.
I can’t say that I listen to girl groups much (Värttinä is the only recent one that comes to mind, and given that they’ve released a 25th anniversary CD, aren’t they a “woman” group rather than a “girl” group?), but there are certainly some girls in girl groups that are really cute (perky brunette alert … yow!). It would have been an attractive dress even if someone hadn’t taken scissors to it.
Worst storm of the year in England. I thought this photo was particularly impressive:
I never realized that Charles Dickens based Ebenezer Scrooge on a real person.
You say you know a couple who’ve been together a long time? This long?
I knew there was a reason I didn’t like amusement park rides. Several years back, there was a major hailstorm in Denver (baseball-sized hail in some areas), and at least two employees at Elitch Gardens abandoned their stations, leaving people stuck on the rides. I guess the lesson here is never to get onto any ride that you can’t climb down from unassisted. Think anyone will let you practice?
This makes an uncomfortable amount of sense.
An explanation of computation theory for lawyers. I remember courses described as “Physics for Jocks,” but this isn’t the same sort of thing.
This sounds like a fun game, but I imagine, based on the name, that you’re supposed to play quietly.
I’m by no means a full-blown birther, but I have always felt that there were things to be concerned about. That said, this is an interesting newspaper headline from 2004 for someone to have found. I wish I could remember who to credit for the link I followed to get there.
Ever wonder why spouts drip once you’ve finished pouring? Cyril Duez not only knows, he knows what to do about it.
I think I’ve posted a link to this clock before, but it’s worth another.
When my family moved to Del Rio, Texas in the early 1970s, I used to joke that the thing I liked best about the move was the fact that Del Rio was (at the time) about 150 miles from the nearest McDonald’s. That’s no longer the case, but Reykjavik now has similar appeal, albeit for regrettable reasons.
I have a set of Lionel trains in the garage – my mother told me that my father bought them as a present for my first Christmas, although it was years before I actually got to play with them. I’m glad this train setup wasn’t available then; I doubt I could keep from losing it even now.

This appears to be an interesting site.
I’m surprised I haven’t seen this in the Thinkgeek catalog.
Ah, I guess they do carry it; I just hadn’t noticed it.
I saw this sign in a small town on Australia’s southern coast, near the west end of Victoria. It may have been Port Fairy, but it was a few years ago, and I don’t really remember. I just loved the warning, though, so I had to get a photo of it.
I’ve wanted to do luthiery for a few years. I’ve built one kit ukulele, which was fun, but didn’t come out as nicely as I’d like. I’m not doing anything currently, but I’d like to get more involved in building instruments. Among other things, I have a broken Kamaka soprano ukulele I was given by a friend that I’d like to repair.
I ran across Kathy Matsushita’s amateur luthiery page some years ago, then lost the link. I found it again recently, and there are some new things on it.
Another option is classes; at least one of the local luthiers has run classes in which you build a guitar from scratch over the course of a few months. Too bad I can’t afford to do that.
