Oh you should study up on Mr. Henry Rollins.

One intriguing individual.

Check out his band, The Rollins Band. On YouTube, prolly.

The guy is absolutely full of surprises.

I think I've seen him before. I think he may have been on Jools Holland's show. And somewhere else. But I don't know where... in my minds eye I can see him doing one of those to camera pieces that you get in shows about the greatest ten musicians, or remembering the 80s or something.

Oh, snap!

I don't agree 100%, maybe 85%, but, here, Mr. Rollins hits some nails on the head, especially regarding the interweb and The Media.

That was powerful. Thanks Grav

hm

I don't think this is recommended. I doubt the side of the toaster is built to take the heat.

I wondered about that.

Philthy returns to the track!!!

The fun starts at about 55 seconds in.

Major air. Awesome hangtime!



Impact at 115 kph, or, about 71 mph!!

Tough camera...

Oh, deary deer...

I like how the kart kamera automatically reorients itself for "up" before the kart is even touched.

oh, and ouch.

The deer's on the roof, isn't it?

and the hood, and the glove box, and the back seat i would immagen

LOL

Perhaps your day will be brightened by simply watching the Cabra Engraçada/Funny Goat for 1:14.

That goat needs to work on his act.

He's not kidding any longer.

LOL, This could be Pico!

The real hahas start at the 58 second mark

The best part of this video is in the first 9 seconds.



WHAT A WIPEOUT!!! And he kept on going.

I have been forwarding that along since it showed up, because Bean my old Boston Terrier did that exact same thing. There was always a large plastic playground ball in the house, that same size, and merely saying "ball" or moving towards the closet where it was would drive him into immediate frenzy.

Doggy Shot PUT !!!!!
Daym he got some AIR !!!

Oh my sides hurt !!!!!!

Thanks i needed that !!!

Some impressive clips here, including a number of casual, I-meant-to-do-that holes in one disc golf shots.

What to do with all that spare time on your hands?

Hook up a speaker to your squid, blast Cypress Hill, and watch his chromatophores spasm, that's what ya do.

Awesomeness.

That's just awesome.

Very smart bird.

Really intriguing - I haven't ever heard of such behavior.

There are other birds that do that too, but it doesn't seem to be endemic because not all birds of those types do it. There must have been a Leonardo Da Birdy that dreamed it up, maybe from watching Ron Popeil's Pocket Fisherman commercials, then spread the wealth. I suppose a Crow could learn from watching a Heron, and vice versa.

We saw a lot of those green herons in Costa Rica. I guess baiting is quite common for them. Pretty smart.

I remember seeing the ravens in, I think it was England, dropping some sort of really hard nut on the street in the crosswalks, so the cars ran over and cracked the nuts for the birds. The birds then scooped up the busted nut.

That was several years ago on 'Nature' with George Page, I think.

This is awesome.

Keep your eye on Baldilocks.

I saw that yesterday. I think the girl standing between the chairs is going to suffer back problems for the rest of her life.

I was wondering why this was even filmed in the first place.

I saw the clip on LakeTV. It was a LakeTV crew filming. I think they were shooting stock footage/b-reel. Or background for a story.

Something to that effect.

There are loads of ravens...or crows...not sure which, possibly both...around here. They're startlingly large close up. Carrot's fascinated by them. So was Pilau. Though Pilau used tochase them, whilst Carrot is learning to just sit and watch them.

According to wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow

Aren't crows and ravens very close to the same bird?

My brother used to work for this company. They made robots, this one a bartender. I got a drink off one at an event once.

Crows and ravens are very closely related and they look very much alike to the untrained observer. Some say they're the same bird, just different in size along a continuum with ravens being larger and crows being smaller. Both are completely black, feathers, beak, feet, eyes, everything. There are some subtle physical distinctions though. Ravens have a kind of messy ruff of feathers around their throat. The ravens being larger also have larger wings with fifteen pinion feathers while the crows' smaller wings only have fourteen. These are practically invisible on the all black birds.

As far as I'm concerned, the difference is a matter of a pinion.

I see what you did there.

*stares hard at Big V*

Well played, sir, well played.


I think the ones I see mostly around here must be ravens then because they're bloody massive. And I'm pretty sure I've seen that messy ruff at their throats too.

grav, you beat me to the F-18 however it's best if viewed full screen.
if you can't do that here, do it on youtube. well worth it!

Agreed.

I give you Hula cam at burning man ,

Wow, they got some wild effects with that thing. It's funny, all the pictures and video from Burning Man, every year, only shows attractive people.

Oh one of these days i'll go

Oh god I feel so... suburban :thepain:

Cutest video you will see this year, possibly ever.

is that because it takes the rest of the year to load?

still loading...

You're welcome. :)

one of the guys in my office has one of these cars....freakin' bad ass ride!

anyway, they just opened up a new toll road between Austin and Seguin with the highest speed limit in the nation. they ran a test. this is way cool!

the article is here

A test? For 85mph? Shit, that's barely cruising.:rolleyes:

It looks like he said bye bye to 85 at about five seconds.

The first night that highway was open they had four crashes... with feral hogs. :eek:

Oh, and a Hennessey GT hit 263.3 in the Texas Mile.

I drive on the Hwy 130 toll road at least once or twice a week. The new section is at the south end, but the north end it's been extending from has been open for years, and the speed increase applies to the whole thing. The reason they made the speed limit so high (besides the fact that it's Texas and we gotta whip out our dicks whenever we can) is because no one is driving on it. It was built so 18-wheeler traffic could skirt around Austin and not contribute to the very bad congestion problems on I-35, but the truckers said, "A toll? Fuck you very much," and they don't use it at all. So the DoT is dangling the carrot that you could save even more time now, if you take the tollway.

Except the joke is on them, because everyone is already going that fast on the road anyway. Most of it is elevated, and you can see for miles into the distance, so speed traps are impossible.
