There once was an old saying:
Waste not, want not.
Nowadays it’s more like:
Waste not, What not.
On QI: Upside Down they showed among other things wine glasses, art, flags and faces, there’s also inverted beer bottles/glasses and more on Wikimedia such as animals, amusement rides and houses. Just to stodge up this page try this selection of three houses to choose a favourite from:
BTW Here’s a nice reflection from a street café a few years back:
A bottle and glass observation tower in a rest area!
Even for a not so die-hard fan of movie musicals, Hairspray (2007_film) had a few good scenes, the transformation of John Travolta was nothing short of phenomenal. Soundtrack was a little short of amazing, with numbers like “(You’re) Timeless to Me”:
On FTA they played The Daughter, local fare, a well thought out and presented adaptation of Ibsen. Later that week there was Bad Eggs with which the viewing only made it to the end of the first half. Something off in the direction, the script and gags kind of worked even though everything looked and sounded out of place – although they weren’t really. You’ll have to see it yourself to understand this reaction though, which is something not recommended. 😛
Have just completed series 1 of Before We Die, an adaptation of the Swedish series, little interest has rendered the Wikipedia is rather bare. Not bad, some strange scene switches and unlikely developments might have been a turn off for some, as with the overdone effects, gloomy synths, and grey noise. Still, the yet to be mentioned series 2 presents a little better, launching it smack dab in the middle of true B-Grade-dom. 😛
You just didn’t want to confuse with DCI Tina Carter in series 1 with DCI Nicky Harris in series 2.
Edit: That was quick, so now onto Under the Banner of_Heaven (miniseries). Based on true crime, this carries a lot more weight in research and production. The seven episodes are longer too, up to 88 minutes in length, so plenty of character interplay and engrossing drama.Yeah the Jeeps and Landrovers of today feed off the well-heeled and cashed up nostalgic/vintage/classic set who hearken to the call of the Cthulhu of the “good old days.”
Swamps and snow? Sounds a bit like Skyrim. 😛
Want to explore the Rocky Mountains – plenty of snow up in British Columbia and Alberta, so snow chains will come in handy. 🙂
Fuel consumption is important, so is putting oneself at the mercy of travel accommodation providers. The idea of something like a Winnebago might appeal if one is prepared to dig a little deeper. 🙂
Edit: The Landcruiser 2025 might tick a few boxes, also the two seater Landcruiser 70 over here sports a nice long open tray for larger items.
The MX-5 could be fun if you want manual transmission. 😛Heh, first read the conviction as:
50 hours of community service at the Hangover Recreation Commission.
Sure would have been a novel AA initiative!
Yeah, the general reaction to brownouts is folks getting browned off, as in a dropout in the middle of cooking the Christmas turkey, the roast is not!
A few Christmases back gave Mum a straw/wicker donkey/burro figurine/piñata a bit like this: 😛
Wonder how it’s doing now.At Amazon the Gotetiso and The Big Squeezer are tempting, other sites have TubeWringer and kwmobile, the buckle looks attractive.
Never had much success with suction cups, otherwise ebay has a few reliable-looking items such as this and the Shinhan roller, actually ended up with three of these, one for upstairs and one as gift. Login issue still present. 😛
And, no, other than Yodi or Freddo/Kermit the search for themed based functional squeezers turned out to be fruitless. Want a Zoidberg version of The Big Squeezer? Forget it. 😛
Ever dream of the ultimate chicken coop?
Over at Reddit there are names like Ova Office, The Chick Inn, The old Yolks Home, The Plot Chickens, the rule of the roost is sure to be Cluckingham Palace. 🙂
Thus -er- one for the vault, don’t count your chicken coops until they are thatched!
