Comparing pics from 2023 (Madonna) with 2014 (Hoffs) is neither fair nor funny, although I find this kind of chirurgic look disgusting, even when perfectly done.

Plus -- we'll always have Tatra.

It would be so cool to have a Tatra -- of almost any vintage
They make Citroëns look pedestrian.

This Tatra commercial is great, well worth a watch:

Missing Missy

hilarious... the guy that wrote "Missing Missy" is gifted... he needs an agent so he can quit his day job...

An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

For heavy trucks too?

We must remember a few things:

• NJ was the first state to reduce highway speeds down to 55MPH.
• Say NYET to "Speed Kills", it's the sudden deceleration!
• Montana used to be the closest USA had come to NOT posting speed limits << An 'autobahn' is what you make it, ... where and how!"
• There is still So.Dakota, Utah, Wyoming that seem to be the friendliest for speeders.
• Texas used to have a thing called 'adjudicated probation'; where you paid the fine, promised judge you will not speed in that county (for 90 days), and no points assessment on DL.

I was just referring to the fact that heavy trucks, here in EU, only are allowed to run 50mph. And I believe that in many states of the US, they are allowed to follow the cars to max allowed speed. Here in Denmark they can be up to 56 tons. That amount of weight - with full highway speed..... kinda scary

History of the Minnow [re: Gilligan's Island]:
The S.S. Minnow actually has a long and detailed history represented by several different crafts of varying characteristics. The following [there were at least 8 different) crafts [that] have appeared as the Minnow in all of its incarnations.

Extended Trivia:

• The Minnow was named for Newton Minow, the chairman of the FCC in 1961 who called television "a vast wasteland."
• The Minnow 1.1 has since been found and restored and now gives tours near Vancouver, Canada.
• The Minnow 1.3 is now stored at MGM-Disney Studios in Florida.
• In the Season One opening, an unidentified eighth figure [?] can be seen on the Minnow as it heads out to sea.
• In the Second and Third Season openings, the crow's nest is missing in the long shot of the Minnow in the storm. The beached version also has one extra window.

From <https://gilligan.fandom.com/wiki/S.S._Minnow>
PS: I had been told (and believed it) that S.S.Minnow sailed out from NewportBeach Harbor/Jetties... for that "three hour tour".

Would you have been happier if I posted another cat-pic???

• Say NYET to "Speed Kills", it's the sudden deceleration!

Many years ago, Australia had a road safety campaign with these slogans:

These slogans were made into bumper stickers like this:

I saw a guy who took both bumper stickers, cut them strategically, and stuck them together. It read, "DON'T FOOL YOURSELF, YOU'RE A BLOODY IDIOT".

"DON'T FOOL YOURSELF, YOU'RE A BLOODY IDIOT".

"Don't be a bloody idiot; fool yourself!"
"If you gonna be a bloody idiot; at least fool yourself!
"You are a fool and a bloody idiot!"
"You are a fool and an idiot; bloody speed up and kill yourself!"

Do uze guyz speak "woke" yet, down under?

I was looking for the old bumper sticker that said "Nuke the Gay Whales for Liberation" but found these instead:

<<Used to be one of my faves.

Surely, this is a job better left for an expert such as @Boris Badinov
