MooPig Movie Review :: Whale of a Tail

Retrieved by Pat Darnell  |  Feb 12, 2012  |  Bryan TX

We rented the movie, A Dolphin's Tale, and the distaff watched it last night. It brought lots of mixed emotion to them. How marine life affects us is always entertaining, but this story really smashes all other dolphin stories. In short, an injured dolphin heals children and affects social reform. Also, she, Winter the dolphin, arrests real estate over-development. What? Yes, you have to watch the movie.

" ... On a cold December of 2005, a three-month old bottlenose dolphin calf found herself caught in crab trap in Mosquito Lagoon, Florida. She was later rescued by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in serious condition. The staff who was caring for her did not expect her to survive, but she instead defied all odds.

Today, Winter the Dolphin resides at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, FL where this tailless dolphin not only serves as an ambassador for her species, but continues to inspire millions of people around the world to love and care for dolphins. ... "

Indonesia 'rail surfers' face 'goop' brooms - CBC News

Indonesia 'rail surfers' face 'goop' brooms - CBC News: "Indonesia has come up with another bizarre plan to keep commuters from riding on the roofs of trains: Swat them with brooms drenched in putrid goop.

"For anyone who is still up there, it'll be like a whip," said Ahmad Sujadi, of the state-run railway, PT Kereta Api Indonesia."

'via Blog this'
Thrillseeking ‘train surfers’ in Indonesia will be brought down to earth with a bump as part of a new scheme to crack down on fare dodgers.

Rail bosses in Indonesia hope they’re on the right track to get rid of pesky roof-riders – by installing grapefruit-sized concrete balls to sweep the tops of carriages.

They hope to derail hundreds of passengers who dice with death by clambering on top of trains, either to dodge the fares or escape the crush inside.

A spokesman for the state-owned railway company, PT Kereta Api, said: ‘We’ve tried just about everything, even putting rolls of barbed wire on the roof, but nothing seems to work. Maybe this will do it.’

The first set of the silver-painted balls was installed near a station just outside Jakarta.

But the effect was rather lost when it emerged bungling officials had made the chains too short, leaving a gap of about 40cm (16in) between the balls and passing trains.

MooPIg Product Review :: A Spirit of RAGE !!

Retrieved by Pat Darnell [HERE]

MacDev pick up Miami Rage for the 2008 season
MacDev are proud to announce a new sponsorship with Florida based pro team Miami Rage. The guys from Miami have opted to shoot a combination of Droids and Cyborgs in 2008, and started using their new toys at the PSP World Cup in Orlando.

Everyone at MacDev are proud to be associated with Miami Rage, and we look forward to a great season in 2008.

From MIami Rage:
Miami Rage is proud to announce its new deal with MacDev. We will be shooting a combination of Droids and Cyborgs for the last event of the season and all of the 2008 season. We have had a good run with Angel, but we thought we were due for a change of scenery. We thank everybody at WDP and wish them all the best. Miami Rage has had an existing relationship with MacDev as they were our bottle sponsor for the 2005 season as well as gun and bottle sponsor for Miami Rage's Str8killas a sister team of Miami Rage. Our players have been familiar with the
guns for a while now and have always liked the Cyborg. So when the discussion came up of the Droid we where pretty confident that any MacDev product would be one hell of a product. We look forward to representing MacDev and giving back to them what they have given us. It is a pleasure to work with James, Dianne, and Bourke. They are wonderful people with a wonderful product. To put the icing on the cake MacDev USA is now located about a mile from Miami Rage's retail store and is run by Pete Bofill and Jerry Desvarieux two good friends of Miami Rage.

-Art Mendoza, Miami Rage

Doing our part to deter Additional Tailgating Around Town...

This is a tail gate....



See the camaraderie, see the planning, see the concern for each other's space, and comfort?

See, experience total fulfillment of the auto motoring experience.








Don't ask; don't tail -- yes MooPig is very concerned about tail-gating in traffic, because it is not nice !!
Presented here are some experimental methods to dissuade those who forget what they are doing while behind the wheel...









In context of forgiveness, and long-suffering, how can one
safely and effectively tell the tail-gating SOB behind me to back-off? Plus it just makes everyone more homophobic !!







Some early warning signs...















Where metal hits the road....











Don't ask: don't... well just don't ask !

How can I Safely and Effectively....

Designs needed: HWJD
In contrast to forgiveness, and long-suffering; in context of soulful vengence -- how can I safely and effectively tell the tail-gating SOB behind me to back-off; that he should watch his interval?

This is the timeliest question of the day. We somehow introduced the question in MTC #9, but alas watching one's six is becoming a preoccupation for many drivers. If a tailgating driver should hit the rear of your car, several issues override any other consequences:

• Whiplash
• Liability Insurance
• Photographic evidence of the collision

Stressing a mode of operation that prevents the situation, well that is the best answer.

Here are some of my unproven/untried impediment fantasies:

• Drop wheel shredding tacks out my rear bumper
• Rocket launchers
• WWI Bi-plane type machine guns pointing to the rear
• sudden release of used axle gear grease
• tractor beam Star Trek style
  
• air bags out the tail lights, in a split second inflation
  
• Electromagnetic shock wave, stunning the rear cars computer
• voice over FM wave into the cars GPS or radio "You are following too close. Back off three car lengths."
• drop a carcass of a large big dead animal out of a back compartment in the path of the one who follows to close, or skunk odor, or paper mill scent of canal #5
• smoke, or controlled substance dust into their A/C intake
  
• Bee swarm
• Robotics; 'Danger Will Robinson'
  
• ventriloquism
• hypnosis
• show home movies from a trunk mounted screen
• Potter wand tricks
• flame, meteor strike, brimstone, rising water, hail, lightning, plague
• baseballs
• start washing their windshields for them..
• Euthanasia

That's the drift of the commuter tail gating rag. I think we need to put this to discussion: "How would Jesus Drive?" Take it away MP'er Wisdom buskin Engineers.
