I was today years old when I learned that the theme song for the 1978 BBC Radio series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and also the 1981 BBC TV series of the same name, was actually Journey of the Sorcerer, released in 1975 by prog-folk legends The Eagles.

 

Favorite comment on the above, "Of my top 100 Eagles tunes, this is definitely number 42"

Meme not hit block?

 

I wonder if the font choice was intentional.

 

I like this guy's sense of humor! It took a second until the message clicked mentally, I wasn't looking directly at it. Once it did I burst into laughter and rushed to take this picture before the light turned green.

 

I don't get it.


Anyway, it's important to have the proper PPE when dealing with yellow machinery.

 

 

I wasn't sure what it was but I figured it was slow. A search revelaed it is a Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car, 0-60 in 13.4 seconds.

This linked review provided a few more chuckles, it was interesting but barely adequate as a city commuter car.

Yikes.

Pics unrelated but interesting. Customer is sinking a 52,000 lbs excavator in a pond he was excavating.

 

I had a long reply typed up here, but decided that perhaps it might make for an interesting thread of its own.

Such truth

 

It's finally happened.





This sign showed up at my workplace some time within the past few days.

Specifically, it's outside of Room 106, which is the big executive conference room on the first floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows, right behind the GM's office.

Because it's the big executive conference room, it has a little kitchenette area in the back, as well as a tiny, private one-holer with a locking door. It's a bizarre restroom to see in an otherwise very ordinary 1960s era commercial building, as it's very... "residential" in nature. The toilet has a tank and operates on gravity, rather than the power-flush units in all the other restrooms. And it's got a residential-style sink upon a wooden cabinet, and a little closet for toilet paper and whatnot to go in, and a newspaper rack. All in all, it looks like the half-bath you'd find on the ground level of a 1950s/60s new-England two story home.

And it's never needed a sign. It's never been a gender-segregated restroom. It's the only single-hole restroom with a locking door in the whole building.

But now they've put that little sign up. And it just makes the place feel... trashy, somehow.

 

So much virtue signaling. Sign should just say restroom.
