Sunday funnies

 












Hunk, a hunk of burning love.   H/T: David Thompson

Suffice it to say, Melbourne is not this fellow's cup of tea (strong language alert).


Ted Baxter: setting standards of journalism still followed today.



From Powerline's "The Week in Pictures".

Remember when I (sarcastically) asked if Sturgis would be "Karen-free"? They may have loudly denounced it from afar, but guess who did show up?

Antifa

Good thing the police they want to "defund" were there to rescue their sorry, skinny asses.

I guess Chopper doesn't like Melbourne, eh?

JeffS said...

Spiny -- the bikers were respectful of the police. That ought to tell the donks something.

But won't -- the donks have their heads too far up Soro's a$$.

The bat disco at David Thompson cracked me up.
It was perfect.

Paco said...

Yeah, that was pretty wild. DT comes up with some very interesting stuff.

Spiny Norman said...

Bat disco: Now is the time on Sprockets vhen ve dahnce.

(I kept expecting the video to cut to Mike Meyers on SNL.)

Veeshir said...

Spiny, that's what I was trying to think of when I saw it. I just couldn't figure it out.

Interesting high-resolution footage of Mars

RebeccaH said...

Thanks for the link, Mike. I've been a Marsophile since I was 13 an first started reading scifi books (too bad Bradbury's Martian Chronicles weren't accurate). Even if they don't find life on Mars (which they probably won't), wouldn't it be something if they found fossil evidence of life from Mars' watery past?

Obama's already positioning himself for 'I told you so':

It's cute how younger people don't see decline with age. Obama is talking like it's the same Joe from 10 years ago, as if he's still in control of his life.

Stunning video, Mike. Paco Enterprises' subsidiary, Get Real(ty), can use some stills from that film to market lots in its Sundown Hills development in Arizona (which, unfortunately, doesn't have any hills - although there are some interesting craters caused by bombs that went slightly astray from planes using the bombing range next door).

Seriously, though, beautiful film.

Veeshir said...

That video is cool Mike.
Seeing another planet like that is just cool.

It does look like parts of AZ, right after a flood. It's weird how it looks like drying out mud in some places.

Mike_W said...

Glad you guys like the Mars video.
There are other interesting videos on that site as well.
It's fascinating when a geologist explains the rock formations on other planets.
There's a geologist who runs a site I visit who explains such things really well.
He has some weird ideas on some things but his presentations of both Earth geology and the geology of other planets is excellent.
An example:

Inactive Periglacially Formed Polygons Via Permafrost On Mars

Could be some Arrested Development in that proposition Paco.

Paco said...

Bruce: Or possibly just arrests.

We see small polygon/octagon structures on the surface of sandstone outcrops in Sydney's Blue Mountains Mike. How they formed is a puzzle. I see it's called 'tortoise shell weathering':

That's ok Paco, we should get this guy Gob Bluth who has lots of ideas:
