It's true. Dude moved in down the street from my parents' place. He was a walking, talking agglomeration of everything that was essential to the music culture of Nola if you had stripped away the tourist bait. We're going to alter our set tomorrow to play some his pieces in his honor. Our singer/pianist is old enough that he worked with and around him during his heyday and has all sorts of sordid stories about the drugs, drama and competition for gig space.

Awesome. Do him proud. I am an old, and I remember when Right Place, Wrong Time was getting airplay, and Mac’s distinctive voice really grabbed me. I was too young to have been there, but his performance at The Last Waltz is one of its highlights, for me.

IMO for that to be bad rear end we need to see that it's a rare skill exhibited by very few other birds. Otherwise it's just something birds can do.

Backflips wouldn't be cool if we could all do them, we need to see all the gifs of people absolutely failing at them in order to understand how difficult it is for the lay person.

What I'm saying is, show me some videos of birds boofing it into various objects.

The Guardian reported that Marcinko was previously known under the name of Nada Marcinkova and worked as an assistant to Jeffrey Epstein. According to the article, Marcinkova was questioned in 2010 concerning Epstein, who was convicted of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution.[3] In written testimony given by Epstein's underaged victims, Marcinko is also described as having encouraged and engaged in sexual acts with the underaged girls, sometimes involving sex toys, at the suggestion of Mr. Epstein.

It's the secret pin of the Nolaminati. They don't really control the world, they just focus their conspiracies on delicious food, beautiful music, and a rich cultural heritage overlooked by the ignorant and the snobbish and frequently co-opted and gentrified by same.

Also they're probably reptilians who built the pyramids or whatevs.

That reminds me of the Trex specimen FMNH PR 2081 (aka 'Sue' even though they don't know its actual gender) which was pretty much a walking bundle of scars by the time it died:

quote:

An injury to the right shoulder region of Sue resulted in a damaged shoulder blade, a torn tendon in the right arm due most likely from a struggle with prey, and three broken ribs. This damage subsequently healed (though one rib healed into two separate pieces), indicating Sue survived the incident. The left fibula is twice the diameter of the right one, likely the result of infection. Original reports of this broken bone were contradicted by the CT scans which showed no fracture.

Multiple holes in the front of the skull were originally thought to be either from a bacterial infection or bite marks by some other tyrannosaur. A subsequent study found these to be areas of parasitic infection instead, possibly from an infestation of an ancestral form of Trichomonas gallinae, a protozoan parasite that infests birds and ultimately leads to death by starvation due to internal swelling of the neck. Damage to the back end of the skull was interpreted early on as a fatal bite wound. Subsequent study by Field Museum paleontologists found no bite marks. The distortion and breakage seen in some of the bones in the back of the skull was likely caused by post-mortem trampling. Some of the tail vertebrae are fused in a pattern typical of arthritis due to injury. The animal is also believed to have suffered from gout. Scholars debate exactly how the animal died; the cause of death is ultimately unknown.
