Oh I loved this caomment:
"I got one of these for my platinum daytona. Last week, a ruffian pulled a knife on me on the metro and demanded I hand it over. I stepped up to him, an inch away from his face, and said "It's locked to my wrist. What are you gonna do about it?" His lip quivered and his eyes teared up, before he dropped the knife and ran away. Everyone clapped, and that's how I met my wife."

I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything while reading this... would have been all over the screen.

··Yoda of YodelersPerhaps one of the most entertaining YouTube channels for your short video viewing pleasure. Dude installed a webcam at a lower-than-usuall railway crossing. Hilarity ensues. https://www.youtube.com/c/yovo68
I saw this happen at a railway bridge in Toronto once. I’m not sure what you call them, but a truck with a built-in crane slammed into a railway bridge with a rather sickening thud. Funny story, at the same bridge on another day I was at a red light and stopped beside a little MG. My jaw dropped when the driver reved his engine with a massive roar - but it turned out to be the Snowbirds (the Canadian airforce acrobatic team) flying in a low formation overhead.
Anywho, here is a compilation video from the channel linked above, but there are so many facepalms to choose from there

·Didn't know this thread existed! Here's one for ya...
A few years back I was dating a really great lady. I was invited to join her family for Thanksgiving. Since her father had passed away, she and her mom would go to her uncle's place and share the occasion with him and his three daughters (gf's cousins) plus their boyfriends/fiance's etc.
The house was a really great mid-century modern (a style I love) and Uncle Paul is a very successful man. Thus, the open bar was flush with excellent choices.
Fearing my Irish roots, I took it nice and easy and managed to stay very alert and decidedly not influenced by the fine drinks. I wanted to make a nice impression, after all.
The men tossed a football around the yard a while, the ladies caught up with each other and snacked inside. Ultimately a nice meal was had by all after which one of the boyfriends proposed to her oldest cousin! I almost felt as though I was intruding on such an occasion having only just met most of these people. Though, my gf and I had known each other for years.
Anyway, us "kids" took to clearing the table and sorting dishes for washing. I gathered that it was a bit of a tradition to help out and have fun doing it. Fine by me, these guys and gals were great fun.
Out of the corner of my eye I noticed my gf and her cousin getting some desserts ready to take back out to the dinner table.
In high spirits I turned and approached her from behind and asked "oo, what do we have here ladies? Looks great!" While giving her a playful squeeze on her very fit torso with both hands just above the hips.
The next thing I heard was a voice "umm... I'm over here."
Yup. Felt-up my girlfriend's cousin on our first meeting on Thanksgiving day.
I was mortified! But fortunately everyone seemed to get a laugh out of it. But I will never forget that terror and embarrassment.
Very unfortunately this lady and I have parted ways after five years. Much of me regrets this, but the good days are starting to outnumber the bad ones. And I take some solace in the fact that it ended much more amicably than prior relationships have for me.
Anyway, thought you all might get a kick out of that one.

Watching that brought back some memories. The factory where I used to work (engineering) was located on an intersection, and my office faced the street. The intersection included a underpass for a railway line that was lower than normal. It was a pretty regular occurrence (despite copious warning signs) that some truck driver would drive in there when they shouldn't have. The thing is it was higher initially, and then got lower as you drove through, so the trucks would not get "peeled" like you see there, but ended up being wedged in there very tightly.
If they were lucky they could back out, but more often than not they had to let the air out of their tires and get towed back out. It was such a regular thing that I stopped paying attention to it after a while...
The tracks are no longer used so they have been removed, and now the trucks are safe going through this intersection.

I can relate. My wife and her sister look similar from their backs. Similar hair and build. Not twins. Numerous times I’ve almost slapped my sister in laws behind by mistake especially after a few spirits.

·I'd noticed a sci fi series listed on a channel I seldom watch. I looked it up in the on demand section to watch an episode to see if it was something I'd get into.
In the very first scene I could tell the FX and costuming were no more sophisticated than those of a 70's Saturday morning kids serial. As it continued the set of some high ranking big wig reminded me of cheap hotel lobby. The actors, if you could call them that looked to be a mix of underwear models and out of work porn actors. Talent was non existent at any level.
The worst thing about it was that this dreck somehow managed to last into a second season.
I'd noticed a severe dropping off of TV series quality for the last few years but this was an embarrassment. Perhaps COVID has scared all the decent talent into bunkering down.
