Forsooth, because what came up as the default picture of the day on Facebook but this -
Presto! |
That will do for today's Intro, as I am hungry and intend to go get some lunch. In the meantime, we shall send the motley down a zipwire - blindfolded!
Blatantly baiting by Beatling |
Yes, more of our patent nonsense. Hey, if you want a proper film review, go and check out Mark Kermode, who is also a fan of The Comsat Angels. Our reviews are toxic, short and probably entirely divorced from reality; you don't have to pay for them, on the other hand.
"Pitch Perfect 3": This sounds perfectly ghastly. What, yet another film about female ballfoot players? Conrad, as you may be aware, does not follow or enjoy the sport, and will probably ban it once he takes over the world. That will devastate those amongst you who keep going to see these films, because that means they still keep making them. Pah!
Enjoy it while you can ... |
What? You didn't think you were getting a TGS poster, did you? |
Hmmm. Just - hmmm. |
Really Big Things
Yesterday we touched on the subject of the Transphibian Tactical Tree-Crusher, a monster piece of kit that was trialled in Vietnam as a potential destroyer of jungle. Art?
Presto - no jungle |
The company that made it was Le Tourneau, and Ol' Tour had a bit of a passion for Very Big Things. I used a photo of an LT G6 yesterday, and still have no idea what it did, apart from looking big and scary. I can show you the G175, another BIGGER tree crusher, that rather dwarfs the Transphibian. Art?
Enter G175, exit forest |
With added puny human for scale |
Ah yes -
I think we will revisit this topic in future.
By the way, this is going to be the only new post for today, it being New Year's Eve and all, even if it is a Sunday and I'm sure you've come to expect two new posts on such a day. I do have a social life, you know: palsied and etiolated, perhaps, but it's still there.
Finally -
Proof that the Ruffians do have a sense of humour, and not all of them dream of dying happily having torn out a Westerner's throat with their bare teeth -
Woof woof! |
