That was great. BUT I’m putting up a 12 year old American singing rabbit to beat her.

 

Thanks. Bookmarked.

Next time I'm thinking "I don't like my job," I'll just watch that clip.

 

Oh, come now. Teaching college students is roughly equal to cleaning a cobra pit, just different toxins when you're bit by 'em.

Ann Arbor is the best place to live in America, Raleigh is #2, and Huntsville is #3.

Suck it, @Auriaprottu !!

 

I'll file this along with the results of the study that says smoking cigarettes is good for you.

 

The air force was ordered to ‘splash’ another “High-altitude object”
AKA “Unidentified Flying Object” or UFO


“US President Joe Biden ordered a fighter jet to shoot down an unidentified "high-altitude object" off Alaska on Friday, the White House says.

Spokesman John Kirby said the unmanned object was "the size of a small car" and posed a "reasonable threat" to civilian aviation.

The object's purpose and origin was unclear, Mr Kirby said.

It comes a week after the American military destroyed a Chinese balloon over US territorial waters.”

Yup, I’ll take up smoking for the first time and move from my small coastal town on the central Oregon coast to … Where!!!!!

I’ll file that under “where to live in Repugnant US.” Bring your guns.

 

And talking of UFOs (we were weren’t we?) I saw this today.

 

Huntsville isn't a real #3 unless you're an engineer. Nobody else can stand the lack of culture.

 

Ya mean they don’t have a mall and a superchurch?

Quality of life questionable

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Police in North Carolina’s capital city released body and dashboard camera footage Friday that shows the arrest of a Black man who died after officers repeatedly used stun guns on him.

Darryl Tyree Williams, 32, died at a hospital after being confronted and handcuffed by officers in a southeast Raleigh neighborhood about 2 a.m. on Jan. 17, according to a report by Police Chief Estella Patterson released days later.

Watching Millrose Games and a Kenyan took the men's 800M easily.

Their distance prowess is nothing short of amazing:

Kenyan Wilson Kipsang won this year's Berlin Marathon in 2 hours, 3 minutes and 23 seconds — an average of 4:42 per mile. It was easily the fastest marathon time ever recorded, an incredible feat for another powerful Kenyan runner.

But perhaps equally remarkable was that his fellow Kenyans also came in second, third, fourth and fifth place in this major international race. On the women's side, Kenyans placed first, second and fourth.

Two weeks later in Chicago, Kenyan runner Dennis Kimetto broke the course record there — after only having run for four years. Next in line behind him? Three more Kenyans....

...He says that while we tend to think of Kenyans as really good distance runners, all these runners are actually from the same tribe of Kenyans known as the Kalenjin. They number around 5 million, making them a small minority, even in Kenya, yet they dominate most of the world's long-distance races.

"There are 17 American men in history who have run under 2:10 in the marathon," Epstein says. "There were 32 Kalenjin who did it in October of 2011."

What does cripes mean?

 

Amira taught it herself by watching youtube, so you can do it better with a voice teacher

 

Christ! Wow! Krikey!

 

Does your vocal coach look like vocal coach Amanda Somerville?

 

I was going more for shazam or holy moly but your definitions fit as well.

 

To whom? Snakes? That broom looks terrifying for sure! They're watching in the background if it comes after them.

 

They’re like really thin French pancakes.
