The best photobombs are the unintentional ones, which is probably why the best ones involve animals. The trouble is that the majority published these days look either staged or, worse still, faked.
Most car thiefs like that intend to break the stolen vehicle for parts. Since the shell is the most readilly indentifiable part I don't suppose the thief cared a whole lot about trashing the shell. He probably removed all the identifiable parts an crushed or dumped the rest.
Generally speaking there's less risk in selling parts than there is in selling a whole stolen car, and a lot of people would be surprised at the value of the parts.
I thought halloween (or at least the fancy dress part thereof) was about dressing up in scary/spooky costumes. What is it with all these folk who think it's just about dressing up in any stupid costume?
Last year we had so many trick or treaters who showed up in shop bought star wars or fairy princess costumes or whatever. Guys put an effort into it and we'll give you candy. Don't put in an and you'll get the sourest sours I can find.
So where in the old testement does in mention buzzes then?
Actually this sort of shite gets right on my parts. For too long religious groups have been allowed to get away with discriminatory rules that would not be allowed anywhere else, and indeed would often be considered illegal. I don't care that it was a "private" bus. If she was allowed to get on it and pay a fare then it is a public bus by any definition that matters.
Everybody looks at a mime? Really? Most people I know would cross the road to avoid one, even more so those idiots who pretend to be statues. With apologies to Terry Pratchett I can only say: Learn the words.
Kind of amusing, but I always wonder about people who think that it's good sense to close for a week and worse still advertise that they are doing so.
Firstly from a business point of view, a customer lost once is generally speaking a customer lost forever. Get somebody to mind the shop.
Secondly from a security point of view. Would you put a sign on the door of your house advertising that you will be away for a week? You may as well just put a sign up saying "rob me!"
Didn't find it relaxing at all, just dull and somewhat pretentious. I hunted down some other work by the band and found it dull and somewhat pretentious.
Would it make me sleepy? No. I often do doze of listening to soothing music that I enjoy, I didn't enjoy this one little bit so it wouldn't make me sleepy.
@John Farrier I don't know, I bet he can roll down them pretty well.
I prefered this one http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/DalekPumpkin given that the whole thing (appart from it's motive bits) are made from pumpkin, carrot or kitchen utensils.
In the steampunk world there are no electronics, so how can you possibly have a steampunk Xbox controller? Just making stuff out of wood and brass does not make it steampunk.
@Larfin Jackarse - that was the point of my last post entirely. There are plenty of supposedly English speaking people in the world, but not all of them speak the same english.
One Americanism that has always puzzled me is the phrase "I could care less". Over here we say "I couldn't care less", meaning of course that we don't care at all. The phrase "I could care less" implies that you do care, it doesn't even imply that you don't care much. It could even mean that you care a lot. However Americans seem to know it to mean that you don't care at all.
As such that's fine, because the purpose of language is to communicate. So as long as one American English speaker says it to another American English speaker the intent of the phrase is understood. Even if they say it to another person for whom English is their first language they will probably understand by inference. However say that to somebody for whom English is a second language and there is bound to be confusion. There are many coloquial English phrases from around the world (including the UK) that only really make sense to people who know what the phrase means, not to those who only know what the words mean.
Conversely I have met many people who speak English as a second language who have tried to literally translate their own coloquialisms into English and found that they make little or no sense. Every language has these phrases.
As a speaker of Australian English I'm sure you have several such phrases. But then you blokes can't even agree on the size of beer glass that goes with a particular name from one territory to the next.
OK Miss Cellania then this just proves that English is not the global language people assume it to be. In all my 45 years I've never heard anybody say "the proof is in the pudding". It must depend upon where you live.
Maybe it is Chinese, but then why would a Chinese truck be RHD? Point being, even if the video was shot in Russia the truck ain't Russian, so it kind of follows that the driver probably ain't Russian either. So why poke fun at the Russians for what a none Russian chooses to do?
