Not a dog pic sorry -

And here's an unexpected side effect of it....

 

[Phipppppa]

2021 had earthquakes, 2022 has tsunamis?

There was an underwater volcanic eruption near Tonga - the result is tsunami warning for a few countries

Fun.

Most winter Olympic sports are scary arent they.

I love those sliding sports. I'd do skeleton or luge in a second.

Reminds me of a misbegotten yoot spent sitting on skateboards, riding down the mountain roads.

Sounds like a great night...

Obvious bs, but it ought to be true

It could have been worse. Could have re-enacted What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

 

[Shell]

Or maybe that should read... "better"

One of my mates in high school lived at the top of this ridiculously steep road with a blind corner. As kids, one would keep look out for cars, then yell it was all clear.

And the rest of us would just go full speed down it on our bikes- wrong side of the road.. right side. It didnt matter. So much fun.

I'm thinking Leo is a Star Wars fan though,

I just gave away our dogs kennel for free. I'm not sure why I was ever foolish enough to think he was going to sleep anywhere but inside.

We have had kennels for all 3 of our dogs and not one of them bothered using it. They slept inside anyway but you'd think they would use them when they were outside during the day in the rain but nope preferred to be dripping wet.

Sounds a bit like cats. Nope they won't sleep in their cat bed- they'll sleep in the box the cat bed came in.

That's a potentially good topic to discuss.

"Which movie would you love to watch with the actual lead actor or actress".

And the question is. Would you choose a favourite- or the opposite.

I'd love to watch The 'Burbs with Tom Hanks. And point out every classic joke, how I can recite it, and explain how much that movie is better than all the crap like Forrest Gump he did after it.

Our skateboarding down mountain roads was ridiculous, but totally fun. My friend got his driver's license earlier than us, so he'd follow us in his car to make sure nobody ran us over from behind.

Maybe The Shining with Shelley Duvall? Main reason Shelley Duvall rather than the film being good. But she'd surely lighten it up with some cool stories.

A favorite: Yojimbo with Toshiro Mifune.

I'd probably just sit there with my mouth agape, watching Toshiro.

Oh, Will Ferrel movies for sure. Id tear him a new one.

Same applies to LOTR but id watch that with the director not any actors

I'm a huge Tolkien fan, and like the movies well enough. But I am still pissed they scripted Theoden weaker to enhance Gandalf and Aragorn.

Just a bunch of people walking to a volcano.

Even the trees walked in those movies!
