Can any mere man wield such ferocious, blinding power?
A terrifyingly, beautiful thing to behold. But only just a glance.
I’m scared, feel like… like an Upper Neolithic man witnessing Nikolai Tesla inside his Faraday cage, as the bright blue electric current crackles and arches all around him.

The red chair of death… to the lumbar region.

A chronic compulsive content-stealer creature like gallowboob might have encompassed that 15% all by himself.

It could be broken down into a couple of further categories somewhere in the middle:

1. Where probes have landed - Venus, Moon, Mars, Titan, a couple of asteroids/comets.
2. Where probes have only flown past - Mercury, a few asteroids/comets, Jupiter and its’ main moons, Saturn and its’ moons (except Titan, see above), Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Ultima Thule (now officially named 486958 Arrokoth).

Back when Australia was still remote and exotic, before Crocodile Dundee even, a lot of people back in the day thought he sang:
“He just smiled and gave me a bit of my sandwich”,
which would have also made for a fantastic lyric in a very silly way.

Ooh la lá!
Zoot allors!

I don’t know… I think she zoomed past the potato and plowed straight into the ambrosia salad.

Witness me, honey, here, hold my sandwich. Hey kids… KIDS! Settle down back there, jeez… pay attention, we’re about to ride all shiny and chrome.

“AWESOME!”

Did somebody input those “life in the year 2000” drawings from the good ole Queen Victoria days, plus “gators”, into the AI image generator?

Where’s the mullet, with Van Halen and Aerosmith and Skynyrd?

The Fellowship Of The Whale, a Darren Aronofsky film.

Better watch out for the long arm of 1/4 of the law.

I can almost hear Major Kong (Slim Pickens) from Doctor Strangelove:
“Shoot… a fella could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all this stuff.”

Spin Up or Spin Down?

Man my brain is toast.

Do… erm… gummies have anything to do with it?

Like the old pun goes:
Crossing (sea)gulls across the state lion for immortal porpoises.

This hits the spot on so many levels, flies through a narrow canyon of being meta without being annoying about it, specific without being obscure, absurd without being outlandish.

On some National Geographic article in the 90s about the Los Angeles area, there was a photo of a gym class, maybe Tae Bo or spinning, can’t remember, with a gloating caption from the instructor - “We get a lot of very driven, type-A people around here”, and I cannot for the life of me imagine anything other than being bored half to tears and maybe death, in that… intensely shallow environment.

Imagine all those SUVs and BMWs in the gym parking lot. Yuck.
Hot! Core! Power! Yoga! “We get a lot of very driven, type-A people around here.”

Not in the United States, on Fridays it was Dukes Of Hazard then Incredible Hulk on CBS, while Love Boat and Fantasy Island was Saturdays on ABC.
