This is right up there with the quarterback. The sausage and ketchup catch at the end are amazing!

I'd say this qualifies for the "amazed" thread.

Pretty clever. Also cool that it doesn't necessarily have to be an iPhone, since the base is doing all of the work.

Surfing video from a board-mounted camera, shredding a pipe, in slo-mo.

It's at great quality, so full-screen it.

A girls choir from Belgium that has a penchant for rock-song covers (among others)

They sing in multiple languages, and do it well. I'm not sure whether I'd be more impressed if they did or didn't actually speak all those languages.
Seriously, have you ever tried singing a song in a language you don't understand? It's *hard* to get it good enough for a native speaker to understand you.

This happened about 11:00 this morning. The window in the right side of this photo is in my wife's shop. No one was hurt. The sole employee in the tailor shop had just gone to the back of the store from the cash stand, which was right about where the trunk of the Lexus is resting. The only damage to my wife's store was the window frame was knocked outward (not inward) about two inches. I shoved it back into place with my shoulder.

I was able to get my son's scout pants from the tailor shop a little while later, after the Lexus was pulled out.

Quailman · His Postmajesty

It made the evening news.

You drive a nice car, Quailman, but it seems like you need practice parking.
I am glad to hear that no-one was hurt, and that your wife's shop didn't take any serious damage

I'd say it's obvious he drives a hard bargain.

211 tornadoes in a 24 hour period. Previous record was in 1974 with 148.

That was one hell of a violent storm system. Thank God it was all well south of where I live.

Posting this for Sam...

I had what might possibly the BEST experience being pulled over ever. (things in parentheses are my comments)

<story>
Got pulled over on the way to a client meeting and the officer (coming up to the passenger side for safety says "Hi. I pulled you over because your inspection sticker is expired. (very fair; it expired in Feb)."

Me: "Yes it is."

Him: "Why haven't you gotten your car inspected?"

Me: "Because I work 70ish hours a week and haven t had time. (that, thankfully is over now)"

Him: "Ok, you re busy. Can I have your license & registration?"

I hand it to him and he heads back to his car. Comes back a minute later and says "When do you think you ll have it inspected?"

"Umm this week?"

"Ok, be sure that you do. Be careful pulling back into traffic." *hands back license and registration (and a notable lack of ticket) *

</story>

To the point, fair, honest and polite. I dont think it gets better than this. Sam, some cops don t suck. (I know it s rare; I just thought you might like to know.)

Quailman · His Postmajesty

Four months expired. That is amazing.

So you don't post since April, and when you do it's something from Sam.

jesus_saves · Almost Right

To be honest, I mostly came to post about my upcoming adventures in Chicago. The story for Sam was just a bonus.

I ve been lurking a lot lately; it comes with working 70ish hrs a week and being stressed most of the time. Since that just ended, hopefully I ll get it together and become a good, contributing member of GL society.

Also, who's Quailman? Wink

Several things:

Today is some sort of Stonehenge-esque equinox. The sun is setting and, today, its trajectory takes it down a crack between two buildings. As a consequence, the side of the swimming pool (outside my window) is brightly lit.

They finally captured a picture of the Space Shuttle docked at the ISS. That's beautiful, too.

I finished Dreams from my Father last week. What an amazing guy is Barack Obama: truly a citizen-philosopher. Kudos to the Americans among you for electing a guy who has wrestled so comprehensively with the race issues that seem to be the invisible basis of much of the divisive contemporary rhetoric.

I watched Al Gore's TED talks over the past couple days. What a champion: it's hard to imagine how much progress we might have made on environmental issues with him in the White House. I wonder if I lean left simply because bright, interesting optimists tend to be progressives?

Jedo the Jedi · Paragon in Training

In Texas, I'm pretty sure you can't be pulled over for having your inspection out, but if you are pulled over for something else, boy will they hand you a whopping ticket for that expired inspection.

Now to counter with my own story.

A motorcycle cop sees that my registration sticker is expired (by a month), and makes a U-turn to pull me over. He asks why I haven't changed it, and I say it's because I don't have a scraper (it had become super stuck). I show him that I actually have the new sticker. He goes back to his bike, dinks around for nearly ten minutes, then comes back to my car and tells me to put it on there as soon as possible. He finishes with, "You're wasting my time and yours."

How do I waste a cop's time whose job is to pull people over and keep the peace and safety? Oh, Jiminy
