Milk crate challenge, JFC

And in honor or the United States version of the perfect killing machine getting a bath (I have nothing else today), here is how close my cat Rocky got to turning me I to a Cyclops



Edit: Somewhat related, I have definitely experienced spidey sense on a couple of occasions in the colorado mountains, and my instinct has always always been mountain lion.

B: C'mon, this is cousin Eddie. He doesn't even know what a macerator is.



This is how you do it:





Because that's what a good brother does for his sister. We purchase and install equipment to pump pulverized poo uphill.



(No, that's not the finished wiring, just the alpha test. I cleaned it up and wrapped it once the system was proven.)



Up the side of the house, across the driveway...






And into the cleanout riser just behind the illuminated plastic idols:



(Careful not to spray poo on the plastic baby Jesus.)




And this little ******... Constant demand for belly-rubs.



She'd happily just lie there and starve to death, provided that the belly-rubs were uninterrupted.

So, we're about a week out from officially launching another multicast network. You know, those channels that show up on your TV as 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, etc., and are cheaply programmed with reruns and religious shows.

Anyway, this one is called RewindTV, and it's all 80s & 90s. Sitcoms, mostly. No A-Team or Airwolf, much to my chagrin.

The color scheme used in the branding is also very period-correct. The 80s logos are mostly earth tones and nice gradients, and the 90s stuff is all neon flashiness and triangles.

We're originating the channel natively at 1080i 16:9, but since most of the programming is 4:3, using pillarbox rather than relying on AFD.

Some genius in the graphics department decided that bright pink would be a good color for the side bars, as opposed to boring old black.

Fortunately, saner heads prevailed in the end, but some of the test programs we're airing right now for the affiliates to get their stuff dialed in still have the original bars.

It's... atrocious.

Or...

And hear me out on this...

Maybe a pyramid shape just happens to be the best way to pile up a bunch of stones and not have them fall down for a long time?
