Cactus Jack Calder Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 On 9/6/2024 at 12:41 AM, Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 said: I was doing a renovation job on the platform of a commuter rail station. A fellow/sheilah had cable-locked their bicycle to a lamp post that I was tasked to remove; so I cut the post off at about that height, lifted the cable off and parked it and the bike against a convenient bench seat, and then finished removing the rest of the post. I'da loved to have been there when they got off their train and discovered that the lamp post had been stolen but their bike wasn't worth the effort. 🙃 Many years ago there was a badly bent street sign post on Irving Place in NYC, outside the ConEd headquarters building. Some fellow regularly used to cable his bike frame to that post. This fellow removed his front wheel and took it with him whenever he secured his bike. At that time removing the front wheel seemed to be a common practice for bike messengers in the city. I have only seen this fellow retrieve his bike once. The fellow walked up to his bike, picked up the front fork, reinstalled the wheel, pulled the sign post out of the sidewalk to free his bike and then rode away. After that, I’d often seen the bike securely cabled to that bent sign post. Since I don’t visit ConEd anymore I’ve no idea if that practice is still going on. Now you may doubt my word, but that’s my story and I’m sticking too it! CJ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lone Ranger theme was the William Tell Overture Just the Finale. There are three parts before that. It’s kinda like the National Anthem — the one part has been played on its own so much, some folks don’t realize it’s just a quarter of the whole piece.

The "Can-can," at least as shown in westerns, is danced to "Galop infernal" from "Orpheus in the Underworld." 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 When I looked at it, the fourth reel was the Maltese dogs. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_JTQBVyXXR/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet What I can't figure out is why the guy was wearing a blindfold. Was this to make the point that he wasn't looking at his feet. Dancers don't look at their feet. You listen to the music, you listen to the rhythm, and you put your feet where they belong.

Dramatic effect. Looks a lot more impressive wearing the blindfold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
