I knew I'd ran across that phrase somewhere. I think it was when I was into scanners/ham/shortwave radio. I think I had a bunch of scanner freqencies for the L&N (Louisville-Nashville, later CSX) Railroad yard out of Nashville. I believe a few of those frequencies were labeled 'hump yard'. Maybe.

Thanx, Carruthers. BTW, the narrator on your vid almost put me to sleep.

Ever wonder what 0% body fat would look like?





"Witness The Fitness"...Yeah, don't he look like the very acme of health and fitness?

And just how the hell does this walking skeleton get a girl that looks like that?

I'm just glad she's not as skeletal as he is...When they screwed it would sound like a frenzied game of Yahtzee, what with all those bones rattling around together.

In the not too distant past when you went to a fair, carnival, or other attraction, there would be tents or booths selling food. More recently there's been a transition to food trucks.

Now the food trucks are making the leap from support staff to being the attraction. WTF?

xoxoxoBruce have you been out in public in the USA? Food is an attraction! Just when I think no one can be that fat I see someone fatter! I feel so bad for them and then I see something like this WTF?

We have a lot of food trucks around here. A lot.

But people just buy lunch there. What is the draw of a food truck festival? Are you going to start at one truck and just keep eating your way down the line? You can only eat one lunch. Right? So you have 500 trucks and you wander around looking at all the options and reading all the menus until you decide on one, where you eat, and then you go home? I'd rather go to McDonalds, and I hate McDonalds.

That was what puzzled me, glatt. Nirvana is right in that we demand food be available 24-7, everywhere we might be, but the attraction of parking lot full of food trucks is beyond me.

Food trucks serving working people has a long tradition, making convenience a reasonable choice, but those food truck rodeos are nuts.

Perhaps it's a festival for the trucks that are available in the marketplace (like an outdoor show, or a home show, or the CES) for such activity.

And, even, if it's what it sounds like...Shit, man, at lunch take your pick of Steak On A Stick, Deep Fried Steak On A Stick, deep fried cotton candy, deep fried candy bars, twinkies, pretzels, corn dogs, deep fried grease, deep fried butter, tacos, deep fried, of course, deep fried deep fryers...I guarantee there is (has been) a deep fried food truck.

Prolly.

The truck was not built around the cat, there was a way in, so there's a way out. I can't even.

Errand Frazier of Vero Beach wasn't quite sure what to do at first when he heard purring coming from his Chevy pickup, parked outside his house in late May. He couldn't see anything and wasn't sure exactly where it was, or even what type of animal was in there. So, he left an open can of cat food under one of the tires and set up a camera to try to get to the bottom of it. When he came back the next morning, the food was gone, but there was nothing on the video, he said.

Thinking he had lost his mind, he went on an impromptu fishing trip to clear his head. When he got to the canal, the purring started again. Taking matters into his own hands, he reached for his toolbox, took out some sheet metal cutters and cut back the metal on the side of the truck bed. As he peeled it back, he spotted a kitten.

Errand Frazier is being described as a hero and similar terms. Nope, he's a fucking moron.
This unknown animal he heard purring, not in pain screaming, not panicky whining, not desperate scratching, purring.
He didn't know what to do.
How about talking to somebody who knows about animals? Take a hint from the Village People, S.P.C.A.
How about talking to someone who knows about how trucks are built? Shouldn't be hard to find a garage or body shop with a resident animal lover.
If nobody can help, it's your truck, cut away... with your wife's permission.

An open can of tuna (tuna woks better than cat food) could have saved him some trouble.

And a gaping hole in his truck.

Good on him for saving the kitten. I guess.

[Gravdigr]

Woks?

My 'r' migrated.

WTF? Where is that guy going with the spatula?

[footfootfoot]

The perspective on the photo is a bit off; that's not a giant Marilyn statue behind him on the ground, it's a tiny Marilyn shuttlecock about to hit the camera. He just whapped it with the spatula he uses as a badminton racquet. His follow through is good but he's leading with the wrong foot. We're working on it with him.
