Scissor Lift Ballet
Years ago my friend Geli was operating a scissor lift.
There was one set piece, a small angled piece about 2 feet high, sitting nearly against the backwall.
She hit.
Despite nothing on the stage but that one piece.
Good times.

Soviet Car Ads
Go ahead make a "In Soviet Russia Joke".
I would if I was any good at jokes.
Compare these ads to American Car ads from the same era and it's apparent that Soviet Ad companies didn't bring sexy to the People's Revolution.

Pies and Pints
That place is awesome. I need motivation to be awesome and their mac and cheese is a great motivator.

Message in Bottles
I have a friend and we correspond by email but also by letter. Each year we send each other a letter about 9/11 because we spent time and got drunk that evening. It's one of those memories that stick with you and I try to keep it up. This year she sent me a letter in a bottle because how often does one get to find one?
Me: so far none.
Her: also zero.
Mental Floss ran this. Interesting stuff. In fact when I wander I've found letters on walks but so far nothing very good. Though I will say I heard about the Laura Buxton one. I believe it was on Radio Lab but I'm not sure. During it they brought up the similarities and played the story to make it the coincidence sound amazing but then play further interviews that showed they weren't so similar and it was just an odd coincidence.
Not unlike the fact there is a guy in Moses Lake with my same name and he has a criminal record and when I apply for things his info is brought up. Still some day I'll go there and try to party with him... or me... no idea but it'll be awesome.
