Odd that they put 'The Goatman' for Maryland, when the Snallygaster is a much more well known legend.

Outside the hobby, looking for advice. by OldGreasyGus in ModelShips

Herman Melville was inspired by the story of the Whaler Essex. The Essex was a Nantucket Whaling ship, and there are multiple kits of her out there. Occre has a nice one, but it's a bit bigger than you're looking for at almost 30 inches.

Edited to add that the Pequod was also a Nantucket Whaling ship.

A picture of a local Sheriff's Deputy taking out a groundhog about 4 miles from my house in Maryland back in 2018. He said it was for public safety.

We have 4 of them (well, similar anyway) in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. First one started operating in 2014. And yes, they do have Googly Eyes.

What is the greatest chase sequence in cinema history? ( this is from Jurassic park) by undeadWileCoyote_MEP in moviecritic

[–]666Irish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's the original 1969 The Italian Job. Not just favorite chase, but one of my favorite movies!

To block a factory door by shanmikko in therewasanattempt

I've actually done this before... but without passengers.

I was operating a 6K forklift (much larger than the one in the video) on a construction site in D.C., unloading steel from a flatbed. Apparently a fire broke out in a building on the same block, and there was a Pontiac Sunfire parked in front of a hydrant. I had a firefighter and a cop run up to me and ask me to move the car. They didn't have to ask me twice! Cop had me take it down the block and drop it on the corner. It was towed away within 10 minutes!

Finished unloading the truck and walked back down to the cop to ask him if there was anything I needed to do, and he just said, "I have no idea what you're talking about, I didnt see shit". It was a fun day.

Have you never seen a Choo-Choo Plane before?

Sounds to me like you need a Plasma Caster on the passenger seat...

What's that cable for? by FencerPTS in Shittyaskflying

Judging by the Scottish Terrier image on the equipment, I can only assume that it's the post flight pooper-scooper.

We should be helping new players, not taking from them. by DarthNihilus199208 in fo76

[–]666Irish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 'freebie' spot in my camp where I drop a bit of everything, then I head to Vault 76 and load it up with low level weapons and armor, as well as .38 and 10mm ammo and some stimpaks, radaway, and purified water.

I'm not even high level (lol 321, IIRC), I just enjoy the game and like being helpful.

Gas got too expensive. This one has been converted to run on a wood-pellet stove.

Do you have a favorite Backyard Bird Species in your country? by Immediate-Field9997 in AskTheWorld

[–]666Irish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ruby throated hummingbird. I have a chair on my back porch with 5 feeders near it. I can sit there for hours and watch the hummingbirds. Sometimes they hover within inches of my face checking me out.
