Not sure if this should go here, or in the cool shit thread. Dude is quickly becoming my favorite actor. There are interviews with the SF and even Delta guys that coached him at Bragg. Everything they said about him was nothing south of salt of the earth.

He should have been more head strong.

So he had an “accident.”

Looks like there's a mob family looking for a new head of their operation.

What's that in the road ahead?

[SurlyGator 865]

Yes.

There is absolutely nothing I need to see that badly.

I would rather jump put of a perfectly good airplane, and I have no desire to do that.   You are either bothered by heights or you’re not.  I am.  We did a canyon hike at a place that had steep drop offs like that and I wouldn’t get within 5 feet of the edge.  We were taking a water break and our guide decided to get within a foot of the ledge and start doing yoga exercises.  Handstands and such.  He was a small guy and a strong wind might have sent him over the edge.  I took a Xanax to deal with the stress of watching him do it.

It fell off the back of a truck.

Head him off at the pass?

crazy vid but the mobster had the right of way at a cross walk. He should still look both ways but not sure how the driver doesn't get some kind of charge. Also, not a lot of blood considering the injury but I'm not in the medical field at all.

[Steel Shank 9425]

If I'm that driver, I think I may leave town for a bit.

Was probably part of the plan all along. I hear good things about Sicily.

Dude's just standing there filming on the bridge while that crap comes raging towards the bridge supports?!  Dude's about to meet his creator in the harshest of ways.

In the year 2024, it's refreshing to see that the world's most dangerous feats of mountaineering are still performed with a Home Depot extension ladder.

Went to Royal Gorge on a Boy Scout trip.  We were on a hiking trail and one of the leaders stopped for pictures at this promontory boulder.  1,000 ft. straight fucking down.  Each boy got on the rock (including my son) to take a photo with this huge void in the background.  I kept picturing one of the boys horsing around and knocking a kid off to his death.  I think I caught PTSD from that shit.

Today I learned that there's a species of river dolphin in Pakistan that's endangered. Why you ask? Because horny mfers are raping them.

Dolphin Raping?  There's a Ace Ventura "Captain Winky" joke in here somewhere if Pakistan has the courage to do what is right.

I ran into this at the QT at 183/MLK, and I had never seen it before. I tried to open the door, which was locked. Without reading the sign on the door, I went to the cashier to let them know they hadn't unlocked the beer cooler doors yet.... which didn't even make sense, because it wasn't a Sunday morning

Woof. That was not a good cover. Kid played well though. An even better "random dude from the audience" was "Kiss Guy" with Foo Fighters here in Austin:

That was really cool.  Kid's gonna be playing that video for chicks and slaying ass for then next 20 years.  

I don't remember how they phrased it, but this judge at the Yehudi Menuhin competition in Austin back in 2014 IIRC.  It's like the Olympics of classical music.  It moves around the world every 2-4 years and features young people playing stringed instruments (mainly violin).  I think there was a 10-14 bracket and then 14-18 bracket.  But this German judge we hosted explained to me her purpose was to decipher which musicians could simply replicate the music by rote, from exhaustive rehearsal and recital.  She could spot them within seconds.  Like half their medalists go on to play first chair in prominent symphonies around the world within a few years.  But she said, particularly in the younger group, there are musicians that may struggle a bit with the hand-eye coordination test of instrumentation because their bodies are growing and changing, but that she can pick up on somebody that has the "music in their bones", that they're not trying to look rehearsed and polished, they're just trying to remember something they've always known.  She said it in German, which I can speak a bit of, but that's the gist.  And sure enough, one young man came in 3rd but she told us he'd be the most prominent out of the entire competition.  She personally donated a Stradivarius violin to him.  He now plays with the Beijing Symphony Orchestra and will likely make First Chair before he's 30.  

this young 'Slash" kid seems to have the same knack.  There is technical prowess to learn and practice.  But in the end, either the music lives in your heart.  Or it doesn't.  /csb
