I think I just had an orgasm! 👀


Me too. I need a cigarette now

If he'd gone the smart way the camera wouldn't have seen him. Then there would have been no point in making the fake video. :D

I would surmise the guy who jumped down, is the same guy who videoed the train going by and the same guy who put the two pieces of video together to look like one.

Speaking of places to visit that invoke an emotional response, during 1961 to 1963 we were at an Air Force base in West Germany. We visited many places of historical value, the one that hit me most was the site of one of the camps like Auschwitz, instead of being kept like a museum the whole area was bulldozed and then plowed under. Driving past it looked like a very productive 40 acres ready to grow anything, very rich looking soil. There was so much poison in the soil that not even weeds had grown there.
Sitting in the car looking at the area flocks of birds flying around would not fly over that area.

This one was known as Buchenwald. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchenwald_concentration_camp
I'm an Army brat. Visited Auschwitz when Dad was on leave. Eerie feeling to that place.

Even in elementary school, I could feel it touring the camp.

I grew up on the GA coast. Old forts and battle sites from the Revolutionary War and Confederate Forts were not strange to me.

Standing on the small boat dock in the middle of Battleship Row on Ford Island gave me chills.
Gettysburg I avoided most of my life.
Accidentally riding my Harley into Sharpsburg one day, then taking a walk and standing where the GA regiments held the bluff above the creek and thinking of the insanity of attacking that position across a bridge.

Yea, there are places that can leave you with an odd feeling, that’s for sure.
 
That’s the old Air Force Plant 3 in Tulsa, the roof is still covered in grass to help hide it from enemy bombers.
 
I live in Australia where 99.9% of snakes are venomous and all snakes are protected, many years ago I used to be able to catch snakes and deliver them to a Government organisation that produced anti venom, that funded most projects before I joined the military.
These days, if they found out how many snakes I kill I would be jailed for what is left of my life...
Shoot, shovel and shut up…
 
40 years ago I called it.
Sewer and freshwater systems would be closed looped.

Arcata CA had a similar system and probably still does that uses ponds and microbes that eat all of the waste. We toured the plant and the tour guide said that the water coming out of the other end dumping into the marsh consistently tested cleaner than the city water supply.

I took my family to Gettysburg and hired a historian to ride with us on a guided tour. That was as equally emotional as seeing Pearl Harbor or Normandy. If you get a chance go see those as well. The two on my bucket list are Iwo Jima and Wake Island but I doubt I will ever make it there.
Marine Corps in the early’80’s, eight of us flying from California to Japan in our own C130 had to make an unscheduled landing on Wake Island. We spent three days diving off shore and touring the island. Sobering, for sure, to think of those who were there before us.
 


See these a lot now that I took my old X account back on the Twitter highway after a bit of rust removal... I don't even reason with these. Just absolutely bomb their threads with hundreds of laughing and clown face emojis. And if they ask "what is so funny?", MORE laughing emojis. I realized that kind of response makes them far more uneasy and uncomfortable than somebody trying to argue with them.
