Plenty of snow and ice around to numb the area.

Eddie Santa was a smart man...

Any idea what "Gasses" refers to?

Glasses probably.

This isn't an image although some may think it's cool. To me, it's terrifying. It's incredible to think of what they did, but it made me sick to watch.

spoilered it for the auto play. It's 2 dudes scaling the worlds second tallest building under construction in Beijing.

No inclination to attempt that ever.

OMG. Makes me the respect the workers that actually get stuff done at those heights!!

It's always nice to see some new Darwin Award candidates.

I was really hoping when they did the high five at the end that it knocked both off-balance and they plummeted over the sides

This.

:+1:

Imagine if a roller coaster could get that high...

Or a water slide!

I had to turn away at times watching that video. I get scared climbing on our roof.

I do too but I greatly admire those that have the physical and mental talents to achieve awesome feats, like this one. Same thing with Alex Honnold too.

For that price, I would want a better steak.

Here's the top selling Girl Scout cookie stand in Colorado:

It probably would be, but that is a horrible photo shop job.

This picture is supposedly from the riots happening down in Venezuela. It gets the Lord of the Rings fan in me excited :)

Did she get hit in the face by Wilson?

Smack Cam!

This was my inspiration for my latest letters to McConnell, Paul and Massie. They get "you suck" letters every now and then from me.

You should include a copy of that poster in your next letter!

I included the link to it in the one I just sent.

Not cool but...wow. This is the capital of the Ukraine. It could be St Paul MN. Composite before/after....

"Unless you're black"

LOL! So true.

One of my MFA cohort is in Ukraine right now for the Peace Corps. Needless to say their FB posts, emails, etc, have been very interesting.

Damn, that's minutes? Good lord. I'm just getting warmed up at that point.

The accompanying article stipulated that this was the time of the actual "act." Getting warmed up does not count in the number of minutes.

But apparently this data is pulled from some phone app where you can track this … so it's bullshit.

Well, the Ohio numbers are in the highest group and you're in Cincinnati, right?

SI

I'm pretty sure that turning a tracking app on and off during that time is a primary concern of those in the survey.

SI

I bet the data in that map was supplied by the NSA

I see the rest of Ohio is trying to make me look bad.

I hate to get into a political discussion on here, but no, it's not even close to true.

The poster is from 1956, when the bastion of racism in the U.S. was ensconced in the Southern Democrat Party.

It wasn't until 1964 or so, when MLK Jr. blasted Republican Barry Goldwater, that the GOP began getting a reputation for the "home of the rednecks." Before that, at the time of the poster, the GOP was known more as "the party that freed the slaves."

The idea that GOP is racist and Dems are liberators isn't historically even remotely true - in fact, the flip opposite of reality, until Goldwater/MLK/LBJ began radically shifting perceptions in the U.S.

Done with rant now. THis thread is supposed to be about pictures. Probably not a good idea to throw overtly political pictures in here in the first place.

Then don't.



That was a picture. The fact that you don't like the comment doesn't mean it wasn't about a picture.

It's pretty lame to post political stuff in here but it is also pretty lame about the crackdown on good looking women as well so I guess they go hand in hand. Seems like there are enough divisive topics on this board that the images thread could do without the boring back and forth.

There was a study a few years back where the actual time for doing the deed was 2-1/2 minutes.

Jeez, Im done in about 10 seconds. GO FOREPLAY!!!

Seriously? I just can't believe that. I complain if it was less than 10. 20 is much closer to my average.

WTF...my wife has complained about me never being a quicky but 3 minutes really?

Im doing good if I can complete the act in 30 usually its pushing and hour...I always thought the 5 minute stuff was a hyperbole joke. WTF

(**Edit: That was neither a humble brag attempt nor a high school exaggeration (all night long, MAN and then until lunch) just an honest realization...I guess everyone is different. Ive been with the same partner for so long I guess I began to assume everyone was the same....)

I'd always assumed that pounding away for an hour, seven or eight times in a row, with my 12 inch schlong was average!

(Am I doing this right?)

I think I did it backwards. We are talking length, in both time and size?
And are we talking just the act of interourse or the whole act, including foreplay?

My 15 inch tower of power can last 36 hours. Ive been known to impregnate 6 or 7 at a time. Oh wait, I thought I was a lion.

With a single shot?

In retrospect, masturbating with 50 grit sandpaper might not have been your best decision as a youth...

;)

lol...no sandpaper here.

Its been a joke in the past amongst closer friends with whom the wife or I have shared a bit too much after a few too many drinks, lol.

We are the backwards couple she wants shorter (duration) I want longer...whatever works for us.

This is my TMI contribution to the board...but Id love to be able to finish in 3 minutes that sounds fantastic?

Thanks...Considering my parents lived through it in Birmingham Alabama, I am well aware of this. Not sure why you are assuming I am laughing because it mentions Republicans. Nope. Laughing because of the sentences above that.

This one is real.

That is missing a ring...

It's Wal-Mart. I'm surprised they were able to spell "USA" correctly.

I've taught my people about the perils of using flavored coffee well. We got a new coffee pot, and the old pot was retained, with a warning.

Lol

I was in Texas last night. This morning there was a televangelist talking about the significance of the gold, silver and bronze, along with the 5 Olympic rings to Christianity.

Yeah.

whenever tucker rocky posts... I can never see his attachments.

Isn't it supposed to?

Bill Watterson was so impressed by the makers of the upcoming documentary about newspaper cartoons called 'Stripped', that he made the art for the movie poster. Likely his first piece of released art since the end of Calvin and Hobbes.

Hmm...I guess I'd like to know their definition of "Regional" as some of those I've seen across half the country, if not more.

Anyone who wishes Golden Corral or Bojangles is a national chain deserves to be hung by their taste buds.

Plus some of those are really considered national chains like Buffalo Wild Wings (45 states), Sonic (43 states) and Cracker Barrel (42 states).

I'm going to be in Kalamazoo, MI and Goshen, IN next week. Anything good up there?

The airplane food tastes great so long as you're leaving!

Yeah. Dunkin Donuts, Cracker Barrel, and DQ are at least all over states east of the Mississippi.

Dairy Queen and Dunkin Donuts are 'regional'?

True, but the bulk of their locations are in a much more regional area. I think that is why they used the term "bigger national chains", so that there would be more locations nationwide.

I don't wish White Castle upon anyone.

Bojangles breakfast is great. And I just had White Castle for lunch. I am the picture of health.

I'm surprised that Pluckers was on their radar. They are a pretty small chain of 15 wing places, but they are really good. Their Dr Pepper wing sauce is awesome.

map should be renamed "Lighthousekeeper's Least Favorite Restaurants"

Golden Corral, Whataburger, ChickFilA, Joe's Crab Shack: all blegh much horrid

I would put Cluck U on the map instead

dunkin donuts is. they really arent out west at all. think they made it to vegas recently. i know they plan to open up shops in southern california next year.

I spent a summer in Corpus Christi and I would love for Rudy's, Whataburger, and Freebirds (which was basically a pretty good Chipotle knockoff) to expand nationally. Rudy's especially- best pulled pork sandwiches I've ever had.

*** Another place that should be on here is Rooster's. Their boneless wings are amazing, and they're not to bw-3 levels of ripoff pricing yet.

I'd pound 15 of those sliders in a sitting without any issues. Can't get enough. Just wish we still had a location in KC.

I'd throw in a vote for Zaxby's.

Zaxby's came to mind for me too, as did Del Taco (hey, they may not be great but they'd be a welcome alternative to Taco Bell).

Cookout. I've got a hundred of 'em apparently.

Serious Pie is awesome, but really, really small, maybe 2 locations I can recall.

Original Pancake House is good but not earth shattering.

Wawa is really the one I wish was everywhere. It is truly amazing and indescrible to anyone who has never had it.

Dunkin Donuts is big in the east, but like others have mentioned nothing out west

They just opened a Chuys here, good but not great. Greaters is very. very good, but very expensive for ice cream.

BWW I consider pretty mainstreem, not sure it belongs on that list.

Ritas is amazing stuff. My wife and I are semi-seriously considering looking into a franchise in the CIncinnati area. We have a meeting with our financial planner tomorrow, and while I don't think it is something we could do tomorrow, it is something we are going to think more seriously about, I think a Ritas would kill it here.

Taco Time is a fantastic alternative for folks looking for fast-food Mexican that isn't horrible crap like Taco Bell. I don't think they've spread much beyond Washington and Oregon, and they have an interesting history as there are actually two franchises now using that name (has to do with some split in ownership that happened along the way). I think the version that's more common in Eastern Washington has a store down in the SLC area. The Western Washington version of the franchise is a little better IMO, but both are light years ahead of Taco Bell.

I'd put them as a more practical alternative out of the PNW region than Serious Pie or Original Waffle House, though both are quite good.
