Damn, KK. 7 1/4 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. I'm heading to the pool. :-\ Pool's nice. I have a pool. Too cold to use right now. Has a spa section that heats up. But it's no fun heating up all that water just for one person. ** sobs **

I edited a science fiction / fantasy novel in which a group of characters wanted to develop a ranch on an island a few miles offshore from mainland Southern California. There was good grazing opportunities for the livestock but insufficient water to sustain the human population in the usual and customary mode of the day: reliable indoor plumbing, fresh drinking water at every faucet, ice-in-the-door functionality, and so on. Anyway, the solution was a small nuclear power plant made by the Russians that was placed at the end of a pier on the east side of the island. The machine collected sea water, made steam which condensed into pure and clean water. It also produced sea salt but that was a different part of the story. Working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, it was the solution for the human population on the island. I did not do the research on that part of the book, but I suspect someone else did. I'm confident such a thing exists.

Here's another:

In this thread, we post links to short films and videos of a humorous nature. We do not post YouTube links to live-action foolishness (people doing stupid things, dogs stealing crap from the kitchen counter, etc.) Here, we link actual movies made by actual independent film makers that we find funny. We'll start with this as an example of the kind of thing we're looking for here:

In The News This Morning: Rev. [reviled] Al Sharpton’s daughter sues the City of New York for FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ... because she allegedly sprained her ankle in a sidewalk crack. Gives new meaning to the phrase, “Crack Whore.” Who said that?! "WOOP! WOOP!" ----- http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/05/17/lol-al-sharptons-daughter-is-suing-new-york-for-5-million-take-a-look-at-her-instagram-pictures-and-youll-immediately-question-her-claims/

Do it; do it; do it. [ yay ] Would it be just for parodies or for amusing videos of other stripes as well? Excluding "reality" bullshit like amazing dogs and jerks damaging their groins. Scripted and produced funny films? Humorous not-too-long movies -- snort shorts if you will -- oh yes. Would these qualify?

So, as Clemensa might say, "Now Toto sleeps with the vicious." Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Excellent selection, Stash.

- - - - - Now, I know a lot of you have been wondering about the opening credits to Shameless, on Showtime. You speak only Turkish and you wanted to know the lyrics of the song. I fully understand so, after so many requests, here it is: The High Strung - The Luck You Got -- with Turkish subtitles.

--- OR --- We, The People (not the government), declare the day of his execution a People's National Holiday and celebration, where only pulled pork, pork chops, bacon-wrapped sausages, and the like, are served, along with lots and lots of ice cold beer. When guys (or girls) feel the urge, they stand or squat over the Koran and a cartoon of The Prophet (may piss be upon him) and urinate for the video cameras... all to be posted on YouTube all day long. There are only so many YouTube chumps to take down all of the postings. Let them try to contend with ten thousand an hour. Just a thought. In the meantime, while he waits in prison, he should be fed nothing but pork rinds and heavy cream..... in solitary.... no toilet paper. ... and listen to a tape loop of these two songs (alternating) 20 hours a day, except on Sunday, when the two are played at the same time, and louder:

Hitting and Being Hit Giancarlo Stanton, became one of the few players to hit a homerun ball that travelled out of the stadium, bounding on the roof of the left field pavilion before coming to rest in the parking lot. Yes, this is the same Giancarlo Stanton who was hit in the face by a pitched ball that it knocked him out of commission for a very long time, during which he needed many surgeries to be able to return to the game.

In that same vein....
