Overnight Open Thread Saturday Edition [journolist w/ Spurwing Plover]
— Open Blogger

Well, well, well my dear pretties. Here we are with me your veritable journeyman AOSHQ purveyor, posting on behalf of Maetenloch, while Maet basks in the permafrosted vacation land, somewhere North of Bolungavik. I can give you Maet's lattitude (65 degrees El Norte) but giving you the longitude, well, that's just too personal. When's the last time you gave out your longitude?

Moving right along, let's test a few things out shall we? Let's test some of the controls here, I wanna make sure we are all tuned up, so to speak.

So if you have had enough of the, "hey if we take in $2 Trillion and spend $6 Trillion, but it's all good" schtick from the besotted brainiacs of Dem, stick around and partake in some blog free basing... I can't promise you will learn anything, but hey, it sure beats cleaning out the garage or watching a PBS pledge drive. So C'mon, sit back relax and let it roll.

Oh, and by the way, we will be heavy on the pictures tonight. A friend of mine the intrepid poli-blogger, Stacy McCain taught me a few things along the way, to wit, get the photos up early baby, and may they be many and easy on the eyes!


Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, what a pair. I mean really, Scarlett Johansson, that name has a lot of the same letters, perhaps Ms. Johansson should consider this sort of waste, and maybe buy a few carbon credits.

I hear Algore is selling em.
Somewhere along the line I recall this being a smart military blog. In fact, it was mentioned by actually one of the brightest on our side, Messer, Tony Blankley, the prolific conservative pundit.

That said, why don't we take a look at a cool plane, the type that was flying above the strat during the cold war. It's the bad ass SR-71 Blackbird. The official stated top speed of this sucker was 2,200 MPH (Mach 3.3) but it had a whole lot more under the hood. It could get from L.A. to D.C. in a little over an hour, give or take.

SR-71 in hangar.jpg

Building the post and it scrambled on me. That's always fun and now I'm really under pressure as I know Kratos, Rum, Sifty and many others are probably wondering where the ONT is. And well, I tried using the red courtesy phone for assistance but all I kept getting was some weird clicking sound with foreign music.

Not to worry. I never do, it's bad for the liver.

This is what I call a segue on the fly. So hang on.

One of my all time favorite sitcoms was Taxi. You may remember Taxi, it was on in the 80's and was brilliant.

Here are a few clips from the old sitcom. Enjoy.

And of course how could I forget Lata Gravas, the loveable garage mechanic that spoke with an Eastern European accent that no one could quite figure out where it was from.

And here is a best of clip of Andy Kaufman. you know, there are a group of folks who think he's still alive. I guess we'll all know if Andy shows up on the Art Bell Show at 2AM some morning.

And where would we be without a skate boarding bull dog video? I mean really, isn't this an AOSHQ staple?

Bulldogs are some of the best dogs. I used to own one. The non-skateboarding kind. But I think, he ate a skateboard once though.

And with that, I'm outa here for now.

Use this as the fre-basing blog platform, but keep it clean and editble for the banhammer is always watching. And because, well we have a morals clause, or a Claude Morale in the group.

Don't freak, Maet's going to be back next week at regularly scheduled program time.

Now where did I put my smokes?

Somebody  said something bad about somebody that is now dead in Norway, and some people reacted badly to it.  So much for those low empathy scores.

It was tasteless, vulgar, angry and crude, and not in the good AoS sense of "tasteless and crude".

 I think you will be laughing because on of those in the know said that unless we seriously make immediate cuts and not 10 year down the road cuts they will downgrade us, Read it yesterday and my aging mind can't remember which one it was. It wasn't Moodys but a different one. By the way I just read Greece was downgraded today even though they had a "deal."

137 I worked with a guy who had been a backseater in the SR-71. Once, either shortly before or after Operation El Dorado Canyon, his Blackbird flamed out over France and lost altitude. They sank to about 30,000 feet while the pilot did the restart procedure. By which time, they were intercepted by a pair of French Air Force Mirages, who flanked them at close enough range he could see the French pilots angrily gesturing for them to land. The backseater asked the pilot how close they were to engine restart and was told 5 seconds. So, the backseater counted down... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1. Then, just as the engines came back on-line, he flipped the French pilots the bird and the SR-71 roared off at Mach 3+ and left them eating contrail.

156

Downgrading of U.S. debt has already started.

(Reuters) - Credit rating agency Egan-Jones has cut the United States' top credit ranking, citing concerns over the country's high debt load and the difficulty the government faces in significantly reducing spending.

The agency said the action, which cut U.S. sovereign debt to the second-highest rating, was not based on fears over the country not raising its debt ceiling.

Instead, the cut is due the U.S. debt load standing at more than 100 percent of its gross domestic product. This compares with Canada, for example, which has a debt-to-GDP ratio of 35 percent, Egan-Jones said in a report sent on Saturday.

259 There is another Blackbird story floating around the intertubes, a little Cessna calls into a SoCal ATC for an airspeed check and gets back a humble value; a cocky F18 pilot calls for the same thing { despite having the instruments onboard to not need the info} just to smoke the little prop pilot, he gets a decent speed; theres a bit of silence on the net - then someone with the call sign Aurora6 calls in for one and gets back an ungodly value at an altitude thats on the edge of space, the controller tosses in that his path is clear of other traffic - just to jerk the chain of the navy guy. Pilot humor.

Posted by: Dad driving a station wagon at July 23, 2011 06:15 PM (4Kl5M)

267 So.... no one can fix this huh?

Posted by: laceyunderalls at July 23, 2011 06:15 PM (Yya9+)

268 OK, a couple of points here:

1) This is not a "smart military blog", though Ace does have his heart in the right place.  He supports our troops and he supports the mission as well.  And if we do have boots on the ground in Libya and Yemen, well those guys are just practicing.  I doubt that there is anything worse for the point of the spear to not get used.  Though I don't know much about that, except what I've learned through books and movies.  Still, the plain fact is you learn more by performing than you do by rehearsing. 

2) Confession time:  I can't reach Ace's site from my authorized IP address 'cause he banned me for cause.  And I admit it. His call was righteous.  I crossed a line that he explicitly warned all commenters not  to cross.  And I crossed it after his warning.  What I do now is use an unsecured wireless network of a neighbor, and I have to go outside to do it, with my laptop.    Now the problem is that by banning me from his site, he also banned me from Protein Wisdom and Confederate Yankee.  And he didn't tell me I was banned, so I wasted about three of my hours of my time,  and about two hours of my ISP help desk trying to find out why I couldn't access these sites. And then I emailed Ace and asked if he had banned me.....and he said, "Yes, I banned you."



Incidentally, when I found out that I was banned, I informed my ISP that I had been denied access,  and thanked them for taking the time to help, and apologized for misusing their time.  They were great, by the way.  So I want to give a shout out for AT&T Uverse.  They really tried to solve the (non) problem that I created.

3) Now that didn't stop me from accessing AoS, or Confederate Yankee, or Protein Wisdom.  I had to find a work around, which I did.  And so I couldn't actually get mad at Ace; yes by banning me Ace denied me easy access to the other sites, yet he didn't actually prevent me from accessing the other sites.  But it did cause me to rethink things, because being banned by Ace really hurt.  It was a teachable moment.  

4)  Ace, I apologize for crossing the line.  And I won't mention either the topic or the context as I feel that might lead to other transgressions by other commenters.  But I want everyone to know that I was warned, I transgressed, and got caught.  And I suffered consequences.  And in right short order too.

5)  I'm not sure if this is the right way to go, writing about this in public.  The thing is, I'm moving in the next 60 days, so I don't need Ace to re-authorize my current IP address.  (At least I don't think so.)  I reckon I'll  be getting a new one, at my new real world address.  I accept probation, and hope I'll be permitted back once I get a new IP.  Going outside is a pain, especially when it is raining.  To be honest, I am damn glad it is the summer time here.

6) But here is the thing:  I've made positive contributions to various threads, and I know this because other commenters have referred back to my comments.  Thanks for that, by the way.  (You know who you are.)  I've written some damn funny stuff in the comments of Ace's blog, just ask Andrew Breitbart. (OK, now that's funny right there, if you know the context.) 

7)  I've learned my lesson.  Just saying.
Here is a pre-emptive comment:  Pretty damn lame, Jack.

275 OK I know I can't get near Ace with the movie reviews but I just saw Horrible Bosses and it was damned funny. I have a very high comedy threshold and I laughed the whole time. It's almost worth the money just to hear Jennifer Aniston--who's still hot as hell--talk dirty.

Once again, I pimp Torchwood season four. The story line is taking shape and accelerating, the new characters are coming into focus and there's much more skin and sex on Starz than in the old BBC version. Sadly, the skin is 3/4 dudes (so far). I'm really sad that Toshiko died before the semiporn era began.

Sadly, no.  I looked for a place in the '60s, but couldn't find anything.  I think it will be okay, it's very nice, I have a patio.  Over the next few days I will find out if it has the level of quiet I require.  The kittehs survived it, but one is still quite miffed with me.  At least they didn't die.

Posted by: Peaches at July 23, 2011 09:45 PM (oHSOo)

Thats not an insignificant thing to be happy for. I hate moving. I think i have told you before i would rather get shot somewhere vital rather than move again.

One of the reasons is just that fear about something happening to the cats. I really do get so damn stressed out over my cats, and i do worry something will happen to them in the confusion and with those workmen. They open doors they arent s'posed to, and they just arent as careful as i am. Even if friends help you move, its horrible and things happen. 

With my rescue horses it similar concerns X 1000. Just getting them in and out of the trailer can be life or death struggle to them. They you have to settle them in new digs while they freak.

IM glad youre home Peaches, and im so glad everyone is ok. I hope its quiet enough and that you wont have to move again. My this spot be a good spot where you can be happy, and you kittys too.

I would offer you a nice peach cobbler if i lived closer. Or bring you a 6 pack of your favourite beer.

So close to my ear that it made that buzzing sound, the kind where you just instinctively flinch and swat a bug away. It's some sort of ear buzzing reflex.

Yup.
The Cashel that she flipped out over when you were here. I think its the reason her eye is getting so much better. But it has been such a mess that on my birthday they tried to serve me cheesecake with strawberries on it and i RECOILED when i saw the gooey red. Yes. What i do doesnt gross me out but when confronted with cheesecake and gooey red toppings im so glad my friend saw my face and took it away.

lol Ellies dad got Lisa a new hat. Its pink and cute. he got tired of seeing her wearing that other one thats all dirty and worn lookin.

lordy im tired this morning we did another re-wrap on ellie and i swear i was wrung out at the end from doing that face. Im not sure you ever saw the REALLY bad pics. But it looks like shes doin better and so i will just say "thank you."

I did not know that. Movable type was horrendous for web hosts like myself. Wordpress isn't much better. Whatever the most popular off the shelf software is ripe for automated hacking.  That said, I wouldn't stop visiting the site if the format changed.

594 Re: Amy Winehouse, that's too bad and all, but it was impossible for me to really care about her descent into addiction (and now her death) because I have no idea why she was famous in the first place.  To my knowledge I have never heard any of her songs even a single time.

Her addiction and trashy way of life aside, she was a very, very talented song writer and performer.

Just remember that while certain rules do apply, when it comes to fashion and style, many of those rules are meant to be broken.

For instance: A woman's purse should always match her shoes. Complete and utter BULLSHIT! It says that you're looking at a woman who can't dress herself unless she wears Garanimals.

As a man you should wear styles you are comfortable in. If you feel like something just isn't you, it's going to show when you wear it. Example....bow ties or suspenders.

A man can look damn sexy in chinos, jeans, or a tux if they are comfortable in their own skin.

612 Nick Gillespe clowns Bill Maher

Even better(for me anyway) Gillespe mocks the mayor of Braddock PA, the poorest town in PA.

The mayor is a fuck up who spends more time on the national media circuit than in the town, which actually just lost a major hospital. So now all they have in the way of jobs is crack dealing and copper theft.

It's a shame too, it used to be a proud steel town, and he's trying to bring it back by going on any show that will have him, rather than you know, courting businesses.

613 Major mental illness often doesn't strike until late teens/early 20s. So a fair # of musicians and actors get famous before they go crazy, and lose their mind in the public eye. Britney Spears is a pretty good example. Lohan as well. Drug and alcohol abuse obviously doesn't help if somebody is prone to mental illness. Spears was probably gonna go crazy by age 25 whether she was rich or poor, she just happened to have become world famous in her teens. Which probably just masked some of her craziness for a while.

Downside of being rich and crazy is none of the sycophants are gonna tell their meal ticket, hey, you're freaking nuts. Rich crazy people tend to fire anybody who points out they've gone nuts.

614 Regarding the Scarlett-Portman sucking face. I suppose I'm the only one here who just finds this whole "2 female celebrities kissing each other on the mouth to show how artsy, and edgy, and open-minded about gayness they are" to be annoying as hell.

 This brings back memories of that ridiculous mouth kiss between Madumbna and Britney.

These women are operating on the juvenile, emotional level of 15 year olds trying to shock their parents. And the really sad thing is the way all the supposedly sophisticated people in the entertainment industry act like it's a big deal. Jeebus, will those dolts ever grow up.

Oh, and I do understand morons liking the boobage and fantasy aspect of it all.

646 Clubber Lang,
I'm not so sure Lindsay Lohan is mentally ill, as much as a victim of bad parenting.  I'm not one to assume parents are responsible when their kids have problems, but when you have a Dad who is a chronic alcoholic, a mom who goes out drinking and partying with her underage daughter, and both parents are possibly exploiting their kids' earning potential, things probably are not going to end well.

And I do know that in many cases parents do their best, and kids mess up, but the Lohans, yuch.

i knew a girl exactly like her, a grade below me in highschool, he end was essentially the exact same.

If both parents are alcoholics, there is a good chance the kids will be. There is a school of thought out there that says alcoholism is genetic, and if that is the case, Lindsay had a huge shot at being an alcoholic since her father is, and her mother probably is.

I'm good with that.  Hope my indifference didn't come across as malice.  I just never got into her music and the only time I ever saw her was when she was falling down drunk and/or stoned, separated by brief periods where I was supposed to care that she was getting back together with her useless (from what I could tell) ex-husband, who I am now to understand introduced her to hard drugs in the first place?  In any event, I certainly have nothing against the woman and hope she rests in peace.

686 heather, did you ever get your AC fixed? how are the cats?

Cats are fine, one is on my feet and one is on the table. (Do I know how to party or what?!)

The A/C: I called my roommates, who called the landlord, who called a tech, who found the whole unit was clogged with pet fur and that's why the compressor stopped.

I feel really bad about inconveniencing people and costing them money to fix something that stupid, even though it's not really my fault.

let's not be hasty here, I wouldn't go as far as to say beautiful

What I mean is: on the news a couple weeks ago, they were reporting the murder of a young woman by her nutso boyfriend.  And it was all, "she was so beautiful and so sweet and so popular and so beautiful and so smart and so beautiful and had so much going for her so it's so sad."  So what about the ugly, unpleasant underachievers who die at a young age?  What about the screw-ups?  A lot of people "find themselves" later on.  I think it's more tragic when it's one of those people who die too soon.  They never had a chance to fix their lives.

AC filters used to be $0.69 and almost-but-not-quite useless -- they only screened out dead bugs, cat hair, and other largish items and needed to be changed monthly. So most of the tores discontinued them and got $6 quarterly filters that start to take out some of the more egregious dust -- or $12 quarterly filters that take out the pollen and other crap......but they keep getting clogged monthly with dead bugs, cat hair, and largish items.

Solution is obvious -- prefilter with a cheap filter that you change monthly, main filter changes quarterly. You may have to Amazon the prefilters, 'cause HD and Lowe's don't have 'em any more.

739 I wish Amy Winehouse whatever peace comes to us after we shuffle off this mortal coil, but I'm really sick of the logic of the tortured artist: she must have been a genius/incredible talent because she destroyed herself at such an early age. In a world of several billion people, there are literally millions of women who can sing at least as well as she could. There are millions of men who could act as well as Heath Ledger. But we've created a narrative whereby people have to create demons in order to demonstrate their talent by being destroyed by those same demons. The number of artists who were truly haunted by their creative drive could probably be counted on one hand. Michaelangelo, Raphael, Bach, Mozart...true geniuses were fairly normal people. The idea that the artist must self-destruct to be authentic is a modern, and insidious, invention.

Well, obviously geniuses aren't normal people. I violated one of my own pet peeves there by abusing the word "normal". What I meant was that they lived relatively healthy lifestyles, though Mozart might have overworked himself (by necessity) contributing to his death. They weren't haunted by their demons.

But this "correlation between genius IQ and mental disorders like bipolar" is pure bullshit unless you are prepared to cite significant research demonstrating such. Geniuses might be more "Aspergery" than the rest of us, but that's about it.

757 Collateral was great, but the disappointing thing was that it was not *quite* as great as the effort that had been put into it (and they all gave it their all, you could tell that). There is a break-even point when you're getting better that you reach when you get within sight of perfect, and suddenly you look *worse* than you did a minute ago because you stop being compared to greatness and start being compared to perfection.

774 yeah I had a friend who was a very smart guy - he had a B.S. in physics, and a B.S. in chemistry, AND a Ph.D. in physical chemistry - an amazing guy, he was great with instruments, he liked to tinker with anything.  he was probably more qualified than I was for my job.  he killed himself about 3 years ago now, I think out of depression.  it was so sad.

School pupils with low exam grades also had an increased risk of developing bipolar disorder later in life.

Obviously because they are tormented by their talents. Or because psychiatrists might not really understand the phenomena they are studying well enough yet, or because self-reported "conditions" such as bipolar disorder are unreliable.

For every Norbert Wiener (who was strange, but not necessarily mentally ill), there are enough Gauss's, Eulers, Riemanns, Feynmans, Einsteins, Neumanns, etc. etc. to convince me that true genius-level IQ is uncorrelated with madness. Turning to the arts, where genius is more subjective, I don't see where madness comes into play until recent times: Gogol (?), van Gogh (?) for example. Chaucer, Dante, Shakepeare functioned in worlds much less accepting of oddity than our own. But we are to accept the narrative of the tortured artist (invented by the Romantics) as Gospel. Not buying it.

788 Electrostatic grids are pretty rugged -- typically built out of aluminum with rubberized insulators. The insulators will gradually deteriorate with "harsh" washing cycles (like a dishwasher) while aluminum is aluminum is aluminum is aluminum.......

If you plunk 'em in the dishwasher, then, you're naturally looking at what will get 'em clean v. what will age the rubber. And that leans towards various effective cleaners (e.g. PineSol). The only caveat is that dishwashers' main seals assume that water can be flailing around inside but never rise above a certain level near the door -- which means that any foam will almost certainly bypass the main seal and look like your dishwasher is leaking like crazy.

Regular dishwasher detergent requires a certain temperature to work properly. The temperature goes against the insulators' life, but does a decent job of getting things clean. "Rinse and Hold" cycles with alternative detergents may be a better bet, however, because they seldom get to the heat that ages the insulators.

Is anything O/T on an ONT?

As I had tried to post in response to this at PJM:

3. cthulhu Your comment is awaiting moderation.

“Boehner did not announce the collapse in talks until the stock market closed. If there is no more movement over the weekend, expect a massive sell off on Wall Street.”

Depends on the time horizon, and the specific companies involved.

As Deninger notes at http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=190550 — there would be an almost immediate contraction of the GDP by about 15% (technically a depression)Â….however, this could be followed in the 18-month range by a laissez faire rebound as malinvestments are reformulated in productive ways — much like the “forgotten depression of 1920″ ( http://mises.org/daily/3788 ).

Any crony capitalism companies currently supported by the taxpayer dime (GM, GE, Chrysler, banks, etc.) might not see a clear path to that future, and would likely get hammered in the market. Other companies might get a boost from the prospect of excessive regulation and government meddling being peeled away (oil companies, WalMart, Boeing, drug companies, healthcareÂ…).

Of course, the one sure thing to happen on Monday is — as JP Morgan famously responded when a reporter pestered him for a forecast on the market — “it will fluctuate.”

I was invited to "movie night" at a friends house.  she has a big living room so there were a lot of us.  anyway we watched I.O.U.S.A. and it was amazing.  Everyone should watch it.  I had no idea that the comptroller of the currency and his merry banded group of economists were doing a "fiscal responsibility tour" driving around the country in a mini van.  And I was surprised that it came out of PBS.  Oddly enough the tone and the way it was done, reminded me of too big to fail. 

I remember the sunday night, listening to batchelor and I fear we're going to have another sunday night like that one.

And there's the whole of it, in a nutshell.  We have the history of the 20th century that tells us how any collectivist, or even a semi-collectivist society ends up, yet we have people here at home that think it's not been done right, if only they'd been given a chance, et. al.

I saw the philosophical difference defined awhile back (source not remembered - it doesn't really matter) as how each side defines liberty.  The Left defines liberty as a positive thing, that you can do this and that, and the possibilities are endless, if only in theory.  The right defines liberty in what another (be they an individual, or even the entire government) cannot ever do to you, or force you to do.

846 It is late.  A couple comments, though.  My sister and her husband were in Vegas several years back.  There was a stage-show with Federman??? Or, who in the hell he was.  Anyway, a person Pamela Anderson was involved with at he time.  My sister noticed her in the crowd, but apparently nobody else did.  She is so short and pretty non-descript....people stood next to her, walked on by, without a glance.  Only when the boyfriend or husband or, I don't know who,  announced to the audience that she was present; one big gasp, a parting of waters type of thing, ensued.

When I was just over 21, I went to Vegas.  My husband, sister, brother-in-law bought tickets to a "big show".  Three drink minimum.  They all came at once, slammed them down on the table by the cocktail waitress, who, in all probability gave us up for "non-tippers" being so young.  It was not pleasant, and the cocktails were warm by the time we got through them.

Oh, for C.S.'s.   I always thought you were a female with the "Delta" first name.  Why am I slanted, like Italiano?

That's just my high empathy score fooling you.  I'm all male.

850 People on the East Coast  could wake up by now.  Not to bring up "Curious", but she just assumed everyone would be watching "Obama's" harangue two nights ago because it was dinner time.  There are other time zones.  When it came here, and I did not watch, it was around 3:00.

We are all slanted and bold this morning.  Most of all, important, because of it.

Gaia save me, I can't figure out whom to trust!

855 Not bad.  The rife spelling and punctuation errors were spot-on with the usual crew's efforts.  Some of the humor was forced, but the point of those jokes wasn't bad in concept, just slightly off in execution.

Some people need to stick to making fun of Moochelle and good ole crazy Herr Pelosi.

864 Slanted and bold are the moments we two can share.
Quiet and blue, like the sky, I'm hung over you.
And if I can't find my way back home, it just wouldn't be fair.

I thought I was a little bored lately. Yesterday we had all the kids over for a birthday party. My baby girl turned 27, 1/3 of the way to 81. Kids, grandkids. Smacking golf balls in the yard with my grandson in 105 deg heat. Reading alphabet books to my 3 year old granddaughter. Discussing trucks and turbine engines with the boys. And what the hell is the difference between water hoses with the girls (trickier than I thought).

 

Nah, I just thought I was bored.

870 Darn.  I thought I could get in before the bold italics ended.

That way it would look like I had something important to say.

Good morning,  Moronworld!

872 hot damn, all the 'old fashioned' recreational public shoot-outs going on in a neighborhood near you...

Just what Big Sis wants promoted. Bring out the family feuds.

873 As a blond, anti-communist, devotee of Western Civilization, I denounce the horrible actions of the Norway nut-job likely performed in a free country. I'll top that. As a blonde, Christian conservative of Norwegian descent, anti-communist, proud of Western Civilization, I denounce the horrible actions of said nut job.

874 Groan. California agricultural thieves. Right, blame the stolen bees and the missing unharvested crops on meth addicts. Just like them to harvest the grapes while you're not looking, or handle the beehives. It couldn't possibly be all those Mexican illegal aliens doing the jobs stealing from farmers, given expertise in the fields, their own trucks and crews on hand.

She loves me.

No, I have some updates from there if we will get a new open thread.

879 My blood is boiling...the JEF is still having VA stop the VFW from performing their funeral ceremonies at VA and other government owned cemeteries because the word GOD is in it...even after a federal judge ordered them not to interfere

it's way past time for this motherfucker to go

880 SoÂ…Â…Â…..your holding on till Monday

LOL, Monty always throws up an "open" thread so the book thread doesn't get contaminated.

Posted by: Vic at July 24, 2011 04:58 AM (M9Ie6)

881 And it should just about be time for Monty to throw up said thread.

883 I often go to my driving test Jim voice when speaking with my wife on a subject of concern in the family. The driving test scene from Taxi probably helped keep me sane all these years.

That hack from Seinfeld can send Chris Llloyd his character back when he's finished.

Posted by: ZombieMarriedTooLong at July 24, 2011 06:34 AM (I6KKl)

884 And the fact a cat will touch a cicada other than by the wings proves it to be one of God most fearless creatures. I would rather be bitten by 100 rattlesnakes than have a cicada go off like a goddamn satellite fireworks and light on my body. Heartstopping shit there.
