      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            It is fun to watch. I love how all the couples are dressed like grown ups.

              Yup. We've talked about this before. As Mark Twain said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."

              Extending that thought - if you're dressed like a slob, people will treat you like a slob. Look at any photos regarding air or train travel from the 1950s and even up to the 1970s. It was different. Now they have to tell you not to take your shoes off and clip your toenails on an airplane.

                  Interesting, and not necessarily obvious.

                            I thought so, too. I’ve always wondered about the “filmed live before a studio audience” sitcoms about how much the cameras and crew interfere with the visibility. Anybody here ever sit in one of those audiences?

                                Blowing smoke up your ass was an actual medical procedure in 18th-century England. Before doctors invented a long tube to keep their faces away, they used a standard smoking pipe to perform the procedure.

                                      The balls...

                                      The Ardblair Stones is a strength feat, where nine reinforced concrete lifting stones of ascending weight are used.[1][2] The 9 stones weigh 18 kg (40 lb), 32 kg (71 lb), 41 kg (90 lb), 50 kg (110 lb), 75 kg (165 lb), 107 kg (236 lb), 118 kg (260 lb), 135 kg (298 lb) and 152 kg (335 lb) respectively.[3] The goal of the competition is to lift each stone sequentially from smallest to largest and place them on top of 4 ft 4 in (52 in) whiskey barrels as quickly as possible. The stones are named for Ardblair Castle located in Blairgowrie, Perthshire in Scotland, close to where they originated.

                                          looks like he skips leg day. Props for persistence though. It can't be common to fail a lift five times and get it on the sixth. More common with lifts that require exact technique and balance, I guess.

                                          Education is extremely important.
