    I think that meme I just posted was made by AI.

     

    Look at the cards. In his left hand he has the I of clubs. On the table in front of him he has the U of clubs and the S of clubs.

     

    In all my years of playing cards I have never seen those three cards.

    I’ve never seen a four of hearts with just two hearts either.

    Dad hated onions.  Couldn't stand them in the house. Said, a chicken won't even eat an onion. He'd get a hamburger in a restaurant and slam it down and curse, "They cooked it on a grill that's cooked onions." Mom would crave them and eat them when he wasn't around.  Not my favorite but I can eat them raw in moderation. 

    I guess your dad didn’t care for White Castle burgers either? 😊

    Whatever it is, they don't appear to have a spray paint can in their hand. Must be using finger paint.

    I zoomed in on the image and noticed some text on the black trim below the door - Dr clownPhd - a fake news blogger on X.
     

    In a world of Photoshop and AI, we need to be skeptical of virtually everything we see.

    Dedicated To All Who Flew Behind Round Engines

    We gotta get rid of those turbines, they’re ruining aviation and our hearing


     

    A turbine is too simple-minded, it has no mystery. The air travels through it in a straight line and doesn’t pick up any of the pungent fragrance of engine oil or pilot sweat.

     

    Anybody can start a turbine. You just need to move a switch from “OFF” to “START” and then remember to move it back to “ON” after a while. My PC is harder to start.

     

    Cranking a round engine requires skill, finesse, and style. You have to seduce it into starting. It’s like waking up a horny mistress. On some planes, the pilots aren’t even allowed to do it


     

    Turbines start by whining for a while, then give a lady-like poof and start whining a little louder.

     

    Round engines give a satisfying rattle-rattle, click-click, BANG, more rattles, another BANG, a big macho fart or two, more clicks, a lot more smoke, and finally a serious low pitched roar. We like that. It’s a GUY thing


     

    When you start a round engine, your mind is engaged and you can concentrate on the flight ahead.

    Starting a turbine is like flicking on a ceiling fan: Useful, but, hardly exciting.

     

    When you have started his round engine successfully your crew chief looks up at you like he’d let you kiss his girl too!

     

    Turbines don’t break or catch fire often enough, leading to aircrew boredom, complacency, and inattention. A round engine at speed looks and sounds like it’s going to blow any minute. This helps concentrate the mind! Turbines don’t have enough control levers or gauges to keep a pilot’s attention. There’s nothing to fiddle with during long flights.

     

    Turbines smell like a Boy Scout camp full of Coleman Lamps. Round engines smell like God intended machines to smell.

     

    Pass this on to an old WWII pilot (or his son who flew them in Vietnam) in remembrance of that “Greatest Generation.”

     

    While not a round engine, this is the T-34B I used to fly. I took it to an airshow where I parked it next to a T34C (powered by a turbine engine) which was what the Navy was using for basic training at that time.
     

    While comparing planes with the young Naval aviator who brought it, he said pointing to my plane that he wouldn’t know how to fly it. Taken by surprise I asked “why not?” He pointed to the mixture, prop and throttle group and said, “All we have is single ‘go’ lever to manage, and that takes care of prop, mixture and throttle automatically. Wouldn’t know how to work yours.” 😊

    Is there such a place as Bahama?

     

    I've heard of a group of islands called "the Bahamas". With an S.

     

    But in the Beach Boys song KOKOMO, they go to Bahama. Is this simply a little literary messing around to make the rhythm work? Or is there actually a place called Bahama?

     

     

    The main island is named Grand Bahama

     The kid has the bow because his dad called an Uber to take the two of them to the archery range.

    So there was no where to leave it when the ambulance showed up to transport them to the ER. 

    He doesn’t have any more arrows with him because the nurse wisely chose to confiscated them. 

    She must have snipped the bow too, because it’s unstrung. 😁
