What is she doing there, headphones on, an hour ahead of time? And doesn't she have a producer? What kind of show does she host anyway? I know people call in but they just seem to talk about whatever they feel like so that doesn't give many hints.

Probably browsing facebook. But why is her daughter there?

Unpopular opinion, but I prefer new Popeye to the old. Not that the new ones are perfect (I've read all the posts) but at least they are not as insufferable boring and stupid as the old.

Closer Than We Think! 6/5/59

"Slidewalks" were a regular feature of science fiction of the era. Robert Heinlein's "The Roads Must Roll" envisioned a system of multiple belts, each one going at slightly higher speeds, so you could easily step from one to the other and be whizzing along at highway speeds once you reached the fastest belt.

That sounds incredible stupid and impractical. How many belts would that require? To make that smooth and a least very mildly accident safe the speed difference would have to be quite small and surely smaller at higher speeds? Also moving standing up at almost highway speeds with nothing to hold on to (I assume there wouldn't be guardrails between the belts if you were supposed to be able to step between them) seems very unpleasant. Not even going to mention what happens if a single person falls or an animal or junk ends up on the belts. I'm probably spending more seconds thinking about it than the bonehead(s) who dreamt up the mess did.

Yeah. They are utter scum. I'm honestly a bit surprised that Ed isn't on the HOA doing their legal stuff for them. Probably because the author isn't in real life...

FINGERPORI

Alright, there's layers to this poo poo today.

The Finnish original was "kaduilla on petollisen liukas", which literally means "the streets are deceptively slippery", which doesn't explain why there's a giant kaiju slipping and falling on someone's house. But while "petollinen" is deceptive, "pedollinen" is beastly. Now of course there's a difference between T and D, even in Finnish, and here we have to notice that the kaiju was saying "aagh, voi r�hm�" in the original. "Voi r�hm�" (which is literally 'oh, eye boogers', but is just a very mild expletive) was something of a catchphrase of Pertti "Spede" Pasanen, a legendary Finnish comedian. One staple of his comedy was replacing Ds in words with Ts, and vice versa. His comedy also frequently featured people falling over things.

Yes, it doesn't take much to entertain us Finns.

So if we apply the Spede rule, then petollinen/pedollinen works.

And here is Spede himself.

Man I love Fingerpori. And that gif was perfect for the post. :allears:

On first glance I thought the lizard monster thing was complaining that it had injured its nuts on one of the buildings.

You actually do pick up on that - I used to do my homework on the bus ride home, learned when to hold off writing for a second so a pothole wouldn't make me scribble all over the page

Or you're sitting directly above the rear right tire and as the bus turns right in an intersection you happen to glance downwards and see a pile of snow and ice beneath the window and the driver is cutting the corner. Next thing you know you're lying on the floor in the aisle hurting all over.

Couldn't bear to shoot him so we'll drown him instead.

Actively holding a gun aimed at him and firing would probably be more difficult than to just push the wagon towards a deep pond. Even if they know the outcome will be the same it doesn't feel the same. Shooting would probably be more "humane", if that word could even apply in any way.
