Frazil Ice At Yosemite National Park

Fri, 28 Jan 2011 06:00:00 -0800

Summertime visitors to Yosemite National Park miss many of the unique events of winter and early spring. Frazil ice flows are dramatic natural events that occur in the waterfalls of Yosemite Valley during March and April.

Thanks to great grandma Jones for the link.

You Might Be A Redneck If...

There are always spent shotgun shell casing on your deck.

Every time a care backfires you hit the deck.

Your trailer park is home to at least one cult.

Your kids stuffed animals really are stuffed animals.

You've ever tried on a bra at a yard sale.

You've demolished a kitchen to catch a rat.

Have a great weekend!

Where Are These Geeks Now?

Thu, 27 Jan 2011 05:00:00 -0800

via businessinsider.com

It's one of the most iconic photos in American business.

A ragtag group of bearded weirdos assembled for a family portrait in Albuquerque.

Usually, there's a question above the photo: "Would you have invested?"

It's a trick question. You're supposed to answer no – because well, look at those people – but then you learn it's a company portrait of Microsoft from 1978.

It was taken just before the then startup left Albuquerque for Seattle. (Microsoft couldn't find anyone willing to move to New Mexico.)

Early employee Bob Greenberg, pictured in the middle, won the free portrait after calling in a radio show and guessing the name of an assassinated president. The gang reluctantly gathered together in some of their finest attire, and American business legend was made.

We all know what happened with the two guys in the bottom left and bottom right corners -- Bill Gates, and Paul Allen. But what about the rest? We saw the question pop up on Hacker News recently, and decided to find out.

The Millennium Falcon was spotted flying over Washington D.C. today at LEGOLAND California as the first wave of LEGO models for the new STAR WARS™ Miniland area arrived. Master Model Builders unloaded crates containing several models including the Millennium Falcon, an Imperial AT-AT, an AT-ST and an X-wing fighter. The models are the first of 2,000 arriving to be installed in the new STAR WARS Miniland area opening in March at the family theme park in Carlsbad.

LEGOLAND California will be the first of three LEGOLAND Parks to launch a new STAR WARS Miniland area. The area includes seven scenes -- six of the most famous scenes from the six live-action STAR WARS movies, as well as one from the animated series STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS™ all made out of 1.5 million LEGO bricks and built in 1:20 scale.

You Might Be A Redneck If...

Flushing your toilet requires both hands.

You don't notice power outages.

You've sent a fan letter to Chef Boyardee.

You think a hybrid car is the half of a Camaro you welded to half a Pinto.

You taped WWF wrestling over your wedding video.

Door-to-door salesmen skip your door.

Enjoy your weekend!

LBJ Buys Pants

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 06:00:00 -0800

via vimeo.com

In 1964, Lyndon Johnson needed pants, so he called the Haggar clothing company and asked for some. The call was recorded (like all White House calls at the time), and has since become the stuff of legend. Johnson’s anatomically specific directions to Mr. Haggar are some of the most intimate words we’ve ever heard from the mouth of a President.

We at Put This On took the historic original audio and gave it to animator Tawd Dorenfeld, who created this majestic fantasia of bungholiana.

Enjoy this special treat from Put This On: LBJ Orders Pants. Then share it with a friend who loves pants.

Original audio for your listening pleasure - http://whitehousetapes.net/clip/lyndon-johnson-joe-haggar-lbj-orders-some-new...
