*OT* Solar Eclipse

Hey Sadlmkr and you other Left Coast dudes: Have any plans to look at the solar eclipse this evening?

And NO! just staring up when it gets dark and saying "What's up with that???" is not a good idea

Need eye protection

 

I plan to be terrified and sacrifice a goat, then assume the sun's return to normal is evidence said sacrifice was acceptable. I'll then post the experience on Facebook, generate a large following, a larger income, and eventually a firebombing by the FBI.

 

Guess I put the chickens up early.

 

Are you sacrificing chickens instead of the standard goat?

 

I may sacrifice the rooster if he doesn't quit crowing at 5. (on the porch) The hens are locked in the hen-house. I got wiped out a while back at dusk by a bob-cat and had to start over. The rooster saw it go down and hasn't set foot in the hen-house since. He roosts 20 feet up in the barn.

 

Smart bird. Could be worse. My neighbor two doors down may sacrifice my other neighbor's teen if he doesn't stop demonstrating his lack of skill at DJing till late at night. You shoulda heard that broad roaring at him last night. Almost made it worth enduring the kid's aural assault. Funny how she has so much grief with the punk and I can count on him to back me up. Prolly because I'm a bigger freak than he is. Representing the hood yo.

 

I spent the day performing my own Ceremonial Ritual; wherein I levitated my automobile (with the assistance of some jackstands), disassembled my brakes, and laid the parts out in the proscribed pattern on the Sacrificial Altar (otherwise known as the tailgate of my pickup truck).

Then, after the required Shell Game ritual with the rusty parts, I reassembled said brakes in the MANDATORY Reverse Order, torqued down my lugnuts to the Specification in the specified passages, and prayed to The Automotive Gods.

Lo and behold the great howling was gone, and the [BRAKE] light was exorcised from my dashboard. Zora Arkus Duntov be praised, I have a vehicle again instead of a terror object for my 4-year-old!

I happen to be a born-again Deloreanian though I'm thinking about sitting in on a Shelbytarian sermon fifth Sunday next month; I haven't gotten my fix of PonyCar Dogma in a while. Though... I hear Ferrarrism has a fanatical following amongst leggy Redheads.

I also ate watermelon. True story.

 

And Porsche is a two syllable word.
