Off topic: VIDEO: “Sesame Street: Billy Joel And Marlee Matlin Sing Just The Way You Are.”

-

From season 20, 1989. Two comments:

1. Maybe because Marlee Matlin is deaf, captioning at one point having Oscar as “[INAUDIBLE]” seems oddly funny.

2. I wonder if she originated the “dark-frame glasses make a girl really hot” phenomenon. 


Yep. Hot in the specs.

THE DAILY FUDD: E282: “Wheel of Fudd: Article on US military revolvers.”

Interesting is that the training manual post World War II seems to allow for individual choice of calibers, plus even single-action revolvers. While standardization is important, I do like the idea of possible use of private firearms in the capacity. https://www.shootingillustrated.com/content/the-evolution-of-military-revolver-training/?fbclid=IwY2xjawMdWBFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHrOEhoZkhpbXE0dYPVAPw_piYKbXZ4Bmyj8qpovQ6oDjXhvtAOC3io0Ta0p4_aem_0Dd-JTDP_frKAY02wP5xMw Snip More at link above.

By Meta AI through Facebook Messenger. Armor, guns, and cats, with Warhammer 40K-inspiration (in progress). ( These next two below are not my work, but were sent to me for a slightly different project.)   Then it finally occurred to me that there was no way I would ever get a cat to wear a gas mask! —— A few intermediate steps I found interesting. And one stolen, the only change being the sword changed to a rifle barrel. One added, improved version of one above: Better background. Removed loose-hanging hose. It is a flaw in the original W40K design. The smart way would be to have the hose more closely clamped to the body. It would still permit free movement of the head.  I like this backpack design, even with the exposed tube or two. Needs a better image of the soldier. O D Dedese   UL: Uses original bag, but hangs low. UR: Hangs higher, but cat has no forward view. LL: Forward view and cargo carriage, but large and dome looks odd. LR: Forward view and cargo carriage, but...
