The bank teller might have bunions
in the jellyfish article they are calling it a “jellyfish explosion” which just strikes me as being a very odd phrase.
as for the vid, i was astonished when i first saw it.
it come from a bbc programme called the private life of birds or something like that. the best thing on the bbc is the nature programmes, which have always been excellent. there are lotsof things about the bbc that have always really annoyed me nd in recent years the investigative reporting has been neutered.
that said, they still do some good documentaries
Posted by michael on from exile 07/13 at 05:37 AMand whilst we are on the subject of the poisoned water that fish (jelly or otherwise) live in, i have some advice....
It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria found in faeces.
In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of shit.
However, we do not run that risk when drinking whiskey?or wine, rum, beer or other liquors) because alcohol has to go through a distillation
process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.
WATER = SHITWHISKEY = HEALTH
Free yourself of shit,drink WHISKEY!! It is better to drink whiskey and talk shit than to drink water and be full of it.... .
Posted by michael on from exile 07/13 at 05:46 AMI’m sorry that I don’t have it in me to miss the black rhino or whatever that is now, and all the jellyfish explosions in the world can’t compensate me for the hole in my heart again this morning…
Okay never mind. You know where this is going. And man, I sure am glad I don’t live in densely populated city or anything like that…
Posted by James on from Hell's Kitchen 07/13 at 06:11 AMI just donated a dollar-- I drink way too much coffee anyway. Now will Mudge come back? Okay good night for now…
(this might be annoying but hey-- at least I donated)
Posted by James on from Hell's Kitchen 07/13 at 06:53 AMMan, these work hours are really making me delirous.
Posted by James on from Hell's Kitchen 07/13 at 06:56 AMGood morning all - I’m glad that astonishing bird has made it here. I wonder how many humans have met such a bird, or are at least aware that such a creature lives in their environs (in the way that North Americans are aware of deer or coyote)? The bird seems to live in such remote jungle, and yet it’s heard enough camera shutters and chainsaws to mimick them with such accuracy. It’s such a bittersweet demonstration of the marvels of nature.
I wonder how many “letter” carriers with bunions are themselves conscious of their having once been children. When going about day to day mundane activities, are any of us conscious of this? I find it a greater challenge not to be bitter that those who were once children now care little or nothing for the consequences of their actions today than that they might have emotional baggage making it difficult for them to do so. Jammed pistons, indeed.
Posted by Amelopsis on from Canada 07/13 at 07:29 AMI always thought the “subway stare” was just people trying to look tough and stay out of trouble…
Seriously though, I have felt overwhelmed many times by a feeling that said to me that this many people in one place just ain’t natural.
Posted by JOS on from Chicago 07/13 at 09:27 AMHello Expendables. Another moist July day here in Astoria.
JOS: I was literally just about to post a “Where’s JOS?” here.
James: Thanks for the buck. Maybe it’ll start a trend (hint, hint).
Empress: I didn’t believe that bird video at first but after some looking around, I saw it was real. The chainsaw sound was chilling.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 07/13 at 09:32 AMGlad to be here as always, Mick. Is that a new “at the beach” picture montage I see?
Posted by JOS on from Chicago 07/13 at 11:02 AMYes it is, JOS...courtesy of Luna. I’ll officially thank him tomorrow.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 07/13 at 11:05 AMSorry man… it was just to get Mudge’s attention… although no no, I spend so much time here, I’m surprised I’m not charged rent somehow.
You know I should take photos from my roof here sometime and email them to you, or put them up on some flickr site or something like that. Off to go wake up.
Posted by James on from Hell's Kitchen 07/13 at 11:59 AMGoddamnit, when is the new version of your WW2 book gonna come out on Amazon?
Posted by James on from Hell's Kitchen 07/13 at 01:01 PMWow - you are one hot-looking guy, Mickey even if I say so myself! And brainy to boot.
Thanks for this post - it is 4:30 am on a Friday morning and I am still a bit dopey but had to say this.
‘Hi’ to Michael, James, Amelopsis and JOS. 12 comments already - good to be among expendables/friends at this early hour (in Australia).
Take care, all of you ..
Posted by Helga Fremlin on from Daylesford, Australia 07/13 at 01:30 PMYour welcome Mickey.
Glad to see it up. Next time I’ll throw in some flashy 3D and effects like that Rense one I showed you. lol
Free yourself of shit,drink WHISKEY!! It is better to drink whiskey and talk shit than to drink water and be full of it.... .
LMAO… Glad I drink lots of vodka…
Have a great day every one!P& L
LunaPosted by Luna_C on from workies 07/13 at 02:12 PMIs it me or is Israel trying to start World War III?
Dahr Jamail is in Syria reporting on their crimes against humanity:

Posted by JOS on from Chicago 07/13 at 02:59 PMHmmm...I thought we were up to World War V or VI by now…
(Hello Helga and Luna)
Captcha sez: “four” so I guess it’s WWIV
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 07/13 at 03:01 PMYou’re right, how about WWx and you can fill in the number.
Here’s what the Beirut airport looks like:
Posted by JOS on from Chicago 07/13 at 03:07 PMWow...I would venture to guess there are more than a few flight delays.
Speaking of delays, what will it take before the American public catches on to Israel’s victim act?
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 07/13 at 03:26 PMHow about never?
Posted by JOS on from Chicago 07/13 at 03:40 PMNah, that sounds too optimistic to me.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 07/13 at 04:00 PMIf Hamas and Hezbollah(spelling?)were to stop firing missles at Israel would Israel have a reason to attack them? They are surrounded by people who are determined to kill them. What are they to do? If Canada was lobbing missles at say...Astoria directly into civilian population centers would you want someone to do something or would you wring your hands and lament about poor oppressed Canada? After all, There’s nothing good about America so we can safely say that due to our actions around the world everyone else on the planet has good reason to want to destroy us and the world would be so much better off without us just like the Middle East would be better off without Israel.
Posted by David on from Louisville KY 07/13 at 05:50 PMDavid, you’ve left an awful lot of context and history out of your appraisal of the Middle East situation. I can’t comment at length at this exact moment, but for now, here’s something worth a read: http://wsws.org/articles/2006/jul2006/isra-j13.shtml
I will, however, not argue with your last sentence...even if you were being sarcastic.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 07/13 at 06:10 PMAlso, this:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article13974.htmPosted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 07/13 at 06:12 PMOk, In a perfect world scenario America and Israel are both gone. You and I and our families are dead. What happens next?
P.S. Thanks for the links!
Posted by David on from Louisville KY 07/13 at 07:42 PMN one said anything about a perfect world, David...but this is a big topic. The U.S. and Israel have long said one thing while doing the other. Then, when they are inevitably attacked, they claim the role of innocent victim left with no choice but to retaliate with massive firepower. It’s an old script...even the Roman Empire used it.
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 07/13 at 07:46 PMDavid: in a perfect world the US and Israeli Governemnts would be gone and there citizens would be in charge.
Posted by Luna_C on from workies 07/13 at 08:05 PMLook, we all know that this isn’t a perfect world, because in a perfect world, Mudge would be commenting regularly.
Sorry, couldn’t help it.
