I can tell you that desert tortoises can manage to travel 40 feet in a period of about 10 minutes; we have one that escaped my parents’ side yard and got all the way to a neighbor’s house 2 doors down from us in that time. We’re VERY lucky he didn’t get out into the street and get run over...

Here’s a few pics of me assembling it in my living room (excuse the mess, it’s taking over quite a bit). It’s all foam board and hot glue construction, and i’m trying to get it cleaned up and prepped for primer and paint.

Sorry to hear that...I lost my grandmother 4 years ago to lung cancer. My mom’s cousin wanted her to go to Sedona, AZ to this “mystic” site and do some healing at some crystal cavern or something there...My grandmother told her she wasn’t doing any more of that “batshit crazy psycho healing crap.” (I nearly lost it…

While I would love to see Goof Troop and Darkwing returning, I REALLY want TaleSpin! :) That was one of my favorite shows, with a feeling of 1930's air travel with a hint of Indiana Jones style adventure thrown in. :)

Same here. I might put some aloe onto a sunburn to help alleviate the pain (one of the benefits of having it grow naturally in pots in my backyard - just break off a leaf and smear the fluid on my skin), but it’s a natural relief. I know it won’t take it away completely, and for a blistering sunburn, I know it’s not…

You mean Squaw Valley, up in Lake Tahoe area, that has the outdoor ice skating rink, where they did all of the figure skating and hockey games outside for the 1960 Winter Olympics? The Winter Olympics that only had 27 events, none of which involved sledding events? Nope, never heard of it.

I remember when I was a kid, “Alternative Medicine” meant that maybe there was a different treatment. As in, “Here, let’s try chemotherapy instead of of cutting the cancer out of you.” At least, that was what the VA hospital said with my paternal grandfather, 30+ years ago.

Not possible for the downhill ski runs. Seriously, you could be talking about 1/4-1/2 mi. of downhill slope with varying angles of drop off. Otherwise, you’re not putting forth anything that could challenge them. Besides which, indoor ski slopes are INCREDIBLY expensive to run. They tried to put one in across from…

Did this at my wedding a little over 7 years ago...It worked ok, except that not everyone showed up for certain tables.

Ok, wife and I just finished, and I think we got a HUGE Easter Egg of something that’s in the works.

Actually, someone DID suggest L.A. for Winter Olympics venue as well...And yes, I DO know there are mountains near Los Angeles. However, Bear Mountain, Snow Summit, Mountain High, etc. are pretty shitty “resorts” for skiing and have HORRIBLE snow conditions compared to say, Steamboat Springs, or Jackson Hole, or any…

My only question is, “Why?”

Trust me, you’re not the only one. Alex Spanos can use a saguaro cactus for an anal sex toy from now on, as far as I’m concerned.

So here’s the thing:

The Olympics were supposed to be a way to bring the nations of the world together, to promote peace, harmony, and understanding (yes, it sounds like the lyrics to “Age of Aquarius”, I know). But every host city in recent history has been bankrupted or brought to the edge of ruin from it. Athens is…

Two venues. One for Summer, and one for Winter. Los Angeles isn’t exactly known for its ski slopes and bobsled runs. LOL (sorry, not trying to bust your ass, just the thought of trying to do skeleton or luge with no snow strikes me as funny)

Some of it isn’t too bad. The BMX, for example - there are existing courses in Whittier, Bellflower, and Simi Valley, but more likely, they’ll build a temporary track like they have for the X-Games, out at Carson or somewhere similar. (HAHAHAHA - I just had a thought that the Los Angeles Chargers could have their…

HOLY SHIT. TOMORROW?!? How did I miss this on the calendar?!?

I’m now looking to see if I can stream Disney XD from my parents’ cable account. LOL

The eyes displaying flowers and snowflakes? WTF?!? First thought was, “Is the bear having a bad drug trip?!?”

Holy shit, Evangeline Lilly’s arms look TONED like she’s gonna kick some ass! Can’t WAIT for Ant Man & Wasp!

That looks creepy as hell, but how do you not say something when your ass is grabbed?
