Was he a baseball player? 
My father-in-law was there when the Japanese did the mass suicide. Not something he would ever speak about.

For most stations, the right side button second from the top beside the screen will mute the sound. It makes them much more reasonable. If I can't find a mute button, I don't go to that station anymore.

Good point, I should have added that information to my post. I mute it every time.
Thanks.

DAmn, no idea, I"ll look for that next time I'm tricked!!
Either she was a scintillating conversationalist, or she was mindblowing in the sack, because there is no other reason any sane man ever would have chosen this horse over Diana Spencer.

I'll take a plain woman who actually loves me and wants to be with me every time over a drop-dead gorgeous model who resents me and treats our relationship as an obligation and chore.

Button mash when it comes on. One of the 8 surrounding the screen mutes the audio. I agree 100%, it is incredibly irritating and strikes me as some late stage capitalism or 1984-esque nightmare (we will yell advertisements at you 24/7 whether you like it or not).
Not a meme but the best gif I ever found

I start the pump, sit back in driver's seat, enter mileage and price into fuelly. By that time the pump is pretty much done, I enter the total gallons, put the pump back up and I'm on my way. Even stations with TV I don't really look or listen for more than a couple of seconds :shrug:
And here I am just putting duct tape on the speakers. The staff hate then far more than you do, but won't need to take the tape off till corporate complains. Help everyone.

Cubism was a thing in the 1910s and 20s.
My dad went to art school on the GI bill after getting discharged in 47. He painted this in the early 80s.

Rumor has it that with the communism fight post WW2, the US govt feared that artists would have bad influences on ppl and started secretly bankrolling garbage modern art artists, since no one could tell what kind of influence the artist was attempting to subvert you with. And so now we have feces on canvas.
This coming from a former art student who hated art history so take it with a grain of salt (or Google it)

I measured it out one time and I believe they're doing about 112 mph. AWESOME video and I'm glad they didn't die. They were certainly tempting fate.

Your Dad shows amazing talent. That horse looks fast standing still. The feeling of motion is a hard thing to capture with paint and brush.

Here's a good example of portraying speed, followed by an obligatory meme, of course.
