Random Thoughts

Don't remember stepping in or on anything weird recently. Whyfor my shoes squeak so much now?

Ever Ace has made it safely with Xmas pressies for the Brits

In other thoughts...if Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans were truly every flavour, it would be virtually impossible to have the same flavour more than once

Sorry, it worked this morning! I swapped in a different link, hopefully that works.

If not, Google "Jasper and the Unbaked Yeast Rolls"...

Here we go again. The Evergreen people (they of Ever Given fame) are sending a BIGGER ship, the Ever Ace, through the Suez canal. Same length, 9ft wider, max capacity 3868 TEU greater. If this one gets stuck like its relative, wonder how much worse it'll be to get loose.

The canal had a brief (less than 1hr) blockage last week "courtesy" of the Coral Crystal, which was at least polite enough to pick a two-lane stretch to run aground and have to be helped back afloat.

My first thought was this story, which I first read on-line quite a long time ago...

Speaking of dog flatulence, I was reminded of this movie clip.

Surely it would only explode if it had a cork shoved up its arse?















Though shoving a cork into something's backside and watching it go bang when air cannot escape is hilarious,please do not attempt this in real life.It will not end well for you or the victim

Speaking of commercials, ridiculous medication ads are not limited to humans. From an ad for, IIRC, flea-and-tick repellant: "Side effects may include vomiting, flatulence, and diarrhea." So your dog will be warded against bugs, but may also explode.

So having 6 channels on commercial at the same time isn't necessary condolence, but somewhat planned out.

Sounds very sad to me.

'nother TV thought. If I'm just using it for background noise, there are 5-6 channels I typically bounce between. How is it that all six of them are all simultaneously on commercial so dang often?

Allot of Broadcasters follow the same, or similar broadcast clock As it was explained to me when I took broadcasting classes in 90s, they like to show the commercials on the same cycles to prevent people from turning from their channel to another one that isn't running any commercials. So having 6 channels on commercial at the same time isn't necessary condolence, but somewhat planned out. The only exception I'm aware of is live Sporting Events, as they try to cram in commercials while there are breaks in the action.

They synchronize automatically, just like a bunch of metronomes.
