Japan has always had the best brake calipers. 4 pistons, they never rust and you can replace the pads without removing them. Why cant Americans design calipers as well as the Japanese?

Every American car back to the late 70's i have ever done a brake job on uses shitty single piston calipers and most have crappy slides with rubber boots full of grease. Once they fail the slide rusts up and pads drag and pulls to one side. I have NEVER had this problem on a Japanese car because they dont use a shitty failure prone slide system like the 'Mericans




fertile rice paddies are best paddies! #TRD

Despite the eerie portentous music and air of scandal they try to foster here the most reasonable explanation is the Carnival tradition they gloss over so quickly where, in an era when respectable women didn't just go around unescorted acting bawdy, men took their parts just like on the stage.  These days the Tanzmariechen are girls but, up until the Nazi era, they were men.

Generally you do not proudly pose and take pictures of something shameful; it was probably perfectly normal and fun to them.  We were talking about it a long time ago in connection with a picture of US GIs in Rio sporting some lovely florals.

Imagine a world where the definition of a dozen also took into account the size of an item.  For example, it might take 312 mice to make a dozen but only 1/11234th of an elephant.  What should define the standard unit of a dozen?  What influences it more, mass or numbers?

Pretty easy, even Jackstar knows this: 6 of 1, half-a-dozen of another, see?

Half of one, six dozen of another - the way the world really works.

Especially in The Village.

"Frank Lloyd Wright had a connection with another eccentric architect â€" Sir Bertram Clough Williams-Ellis, creator of the Portmeirion village near Porthmadog. Although born in England, Williams-Ellis’ family claimed direct descent from Owain Gwynedd, Prince of North Wales. Frank Lloyd Wright visited Wales in 1956 to receive an honorary doctorate from Bangor University. He stayed with the creator of Portmeirion, Sir Clough Williams Ellis, whose work in Portmeirion Wright admired greatly."

To be a fly on the wall during that visit is like said fly witnessing H. R. Giger's stay with Salvador Dali.

Priceless fly time. Heh.

The world is full of delicious mysteries.
Here we have one special taste teaser for all and sundry to ponder and delight.

[attachment=1]

The grand prize is a golden password for a portal to an inner sanctum,
where talking skulls, marionettes and puppets from Pee-wee Herman's personal collection,
will privately reveal the esoteric secrets of the JACK⭐ Magic Universe !

Winning contestants must answer an arbitrary series
of time-limited skill-testing questions of increasing absurdity.
Residents of EllGab not eligible without a note from their guardian.

Jackstar

Oh, look: another contest I'm disqualified from. Great.

It just dawned on me that my prolonged absence implies I may have been in prison.

Look out da Vinci, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, there's a new player in town. Stand aside Baroque, Cubism, Avant-garde, for you have yet to taste the fine art of Super Anti-Expressionistic Melancholia!!

When speaking with the artist about his influential inspirations, he simply stated. "All others should be cast from the lists and whipped, WHIPPED!" Yes, he said whipped twice.

Critics clamored amongst themselves in the streets, confused by the artists expressive intentions .... They say, it's the saddest piece of art, sculpture, thingy, that they had ever cast their gaze upon. Many began flogging themselves, others took to animalistic violence. The towns priest damned his mother as a harlot, for have ever allowing him to have been brought into a world as a witness to such travesties.

When asking the artist about the locals response, he simply stated. "Sad is what I do."  :P

Any Pipe (Tobacco) Smokers In The House? What blends do you like? I'm liking me some Plum Pudding, Maltese Falcon and Cult Blood Red Moon. Plenty more on order.

It’s Friday the 13th but I don’t care because being superstitious is unlucky.

Well, that certainly is quite the paradox you have going on there aldousburbank.

I myself find that I can resist everything, but temptation.
