The Knuckledragger 3rd Memorial Slow Forum Post

She's right about leather seats, though.  Everyone hates those in summer.

This is the best!

I wrote a song for all the stay-at-home dads.*  Here's the backing track.

"I'm glad you're home
Now did you really miss me
I guess you did by the look in your eyes (look in your eyes)

Well lay back, and relax, while I put away the dishes
Then you and me
Can rock a bye

I can ring your bell, ring your bell
I can ring your bell, ring your bell
I can ring your bell, ring your bell
I can ring your bell, ring your bell

The night is young
and full of possibilities
Well come on and let yourself be free

My love for you so long I've been savin'
The night was made for me and you

I can ring your bell, ring your bell
I can ring your bell, ring your bell
I can ring your bell, ring your bell
I can ring your bell, ring your bell

(disco instrumental break)

(I can ring your bell
I can ring your bell
Ding dong ding ah
I can ring your bell
I can ring your bell
Anytime Anywhere)

I can ring your bell, ring your bell
I can ring your bell, ring your bell
I can ring your bell, ring your bell
I can ring your bell, ring your bell

(Ring a ling a ling)"

(Yes, it's now a song about servicing your woman.)

*Not really.  I was practicing singing by singing (specificity of training), and I was having trouble hitting the high notes, so I tried lowering it an octave.  With a man singing it, it sounded a little too...selfish, for lack of a better word.  I really liked the dynamic of the original song, so I thought about rearranging the lyrics to say the same thing, only from the other perspective—I can ring your bell.  So I went through the rest of the lyrics to see what else I had to change.  Not a single other thing.  So it’s basically the same lyrics with “you can ring my bell“ changed to “I can ring your bell”.

Not as cool as the Emilia Clarke video, but this TED talk blew me away.

Sorry, I guess you can't post their videos, only links.

[Torpedo]

Amazing. I'd invest in that.

So apparently Morgan Freeman used to be Jimi Hendrix.

Ben Nevis in perfect Winter conditions. Very rare, and with a guy who knows what he is doing, going up one of the more challenging routes.

 

[mikeymad]

Nice, and pretty good whisky too...

[Craig Sawyers]

This is a POV by a guy who knows Nevis exceptionally well - all the routes. This is long, but utterly mesmeric. He goes from the head of the East Gulley (itself a challenging grind) to the top of Nevis via the Great Tower. A technically challenging scramble. The scariest bit is at about 1h5m, on the way back down from the Tower along a knife edge with lethal drops, and then Tower Gap - a vertical slab with certain death if you make a mistake. I don't have any wish to scramble at anything like that level.

I don't remotely know what sort of emoticon to leave for that spooky and frighting vocoded Trump. Like, sad, confused, ha ha. It could be either of those. But not congratulations Mr T, definitely not.
