So did the smaller diameter branches rot, and that is why they are thinner here, or did they not grow as fast because their light was blocked or something?

They didn't grow as fast, or as long, as the larger ones. Look at a pine tree in the wild and there will be branches that stop growing and die off while others thrive, with no apparent reason. Could be better genes, a Moose munched the end off, or a million other things. Mother Nature works in mysterious ways.

Oh my God!!!

They cut out Kawliga's heart!!!

Ladies, yoo hoo over here...

The last 'gym teacher' I had was over 60, not even close to 6 feet, and weighed about 300 lbs.

I shit you not.:lol2:

No backstory with the pictures so I just made one up. :haha:

Happened over near Edgewood.

Back when America was great and W.T.Grant gave S&H Green Stamps.

Gravdigr: Give us details if you can find them.

I got nothing, Jim. Sorry.

Says "Edgewood Auto Repairs" on the tow truck door.

Something about a purse, or something, IDK...

Pontiac in muck in Novelty, Ohio.

Good find. How'd ya go about that?

I just called the number on the wrecker.
Actually I googled the number (using 33 instead of ED) and Edgewood and up popped the still extant business.
Then I called the current owner who bought the place from Kenny (the driver in the pic, don't ya see) and had a nice talk.
More details of the incident may follow.
I have had an identical '60 GMC, but in red, for 48 years.

:devil:

It's easy to forget how big they are. I had the Philly 76ers get on a plane I was taking to Kansas City, of course they sat up front, but in the airport at the other end, when standing next to them at the baggage claim was the first time it really sunk in how big the are.

Surprised at your ink, xoB.

?

I bet that played havoc with the C of G calculations!

In a UPI pics-of-the-year-type thing I came across this pic:

It seemed...'familiar', somehow. And then it hit me, it was reminding me of a famous pic:

I confess a fondness for skin pics.

That's my new favorite.

By the grin I'd say she loves massaging her cheek. :rolleyes:

Wait til she gets to her lips.

Dolly and her husband for over 50 years...

One of the best answers ever was hers to the question: "How long does it take to do your hair?"

Which was, "I don't know, I'm never there."

Boobs?

Where are the boobs?

I don't see no boobs!

I call shenanigans.

Ima go look for boobs...

I hate to be the one to break it to ya but they're plastic.:bolt:

You shut your whore mouth!

She's quite open about all the plastic surgery, nips and tucks she's had. It's part of show biz, the image thing, her job.

But what's important is the wonderful things she's done with her money. Much more than just throwing a bunch of cash at an established charity, she's actually gone out and started projects that were needed, helped ordinary people. She's a good person.

Welding job...

Honey, I'm home.

And look at the size of this amethyst geode:

:eek:

Sweet Jesus, man. How about a little warning next time!
;)

Dang. On both.

I initially thought those binder clips had unusually long arms, but it looks like that may be doable with standard ones; though less interesting if they're all black.

Closest I've come to that one is I clipped 12 Pringles can lids together from the inside. Brain teaser for folk who come by my desk as to how I clipped the last clips.

re "home"

you say that like you left at some point...

:D

See what happens when you drag shit back from space. :eek:

I think there was Reddit PhotoShop contest concerning that geode.

Just to see if they was lyin' (they ain't), I did a GIS on the Sandwich Police.

In the process also found this:

Run, foo, it's the flippin' pohlees!!

I call it man-aise.:cool:

Did you find sandwich? Down the cape.

We're a cut above here in the UK.....

Attachment 66336

There's one in Illinois, too, I think.

Y'all got a ham sandwich, India has a whole Delhi. They have a new one, too.

The sandwich might have ended up being called something else, if Blackadder and Baldrick had anything to do with it.

I'm hooked every time I see Hugh Laurie as anyone but House.

Have you ever seen him with Stephen Fry in 'Jeeves and Wooster'?

That's what first knew both of them from. Excellent show.

I've watched A Bit of Fry & Laurie. I'll give the Jeeves & Wooster a try when there isn't as much going on in the house.
