F-Troop: the Heckawis had a horse wash. Funny stuff.

Nothing worse than a bland diet in a hospital. After my heart surgery all food tasted like cardboard and in spite of the regular food being decent, I couldn't eat it. One thing I loved was cantaloupe cubes. Oddly enough I could taste them and their flavor and coolness soothed my sore throat from all the tubes that had been in it.

this was the apex of my day. it's all downhill from here.

"...superhero movie that's an origin story, a battle against evil forces, and a quest movie as well, with a bit of romantic comedy thrown in."
So it's exactly the same thing as all the other superhero movies?

Awww.... More proof animals value companionship and good company.

I served in the US Army Signal Corps in the early 1960's. Even though the MOS of Pigeoneer and the use of carrier pigeons was gone by then, we still had "pigeon paper" in the back of our message books.

Like Zulu Time (GMT) in the Army. Places like Calais Maine and St. Stephen New Brunswick are two times zones (Atlantic and Eastern) across the river and border from each other. That was odd.

The fish costume one was amazing!

Having worked in jobs where locations were maintained across the globe, time zones were one of the toughest things to deal with. Originally, we kept times on servers local to the location. This kept customers happy, but caused other issues. Every support team had to translate the time to their own locale. It was double the pain when you have to work across teams. This was even harder when individual countries would update time zone rules for short periods of time(EX. Egypt would change it for ramadan which is different every year).

Eventually we decided "set everything to UTC!" Still a pain, but at least you only have to do one conversion to local time instead of constantly looking it up.

Maybe it was because Jung was a Nazi.

It should be said that the 1951 film, Ace In the Hole, was based on this incident. Here it is on YouTube - kinda.

Awesome read.

I'm not sure how many "Mummy" movies have been made, but I know I've seen most of them. And what do they all have in common? What's the one overriding theme?

Don't. Open. The. Sarcophagus.

But they will.

Wow! I've been to a few rodeos when in Texas, but no shows as cool as this. What an amazing coordinated dance and performance. Each rider has a very good relationship of trust with their horses no doubt.
