A thread for miscellaneous stuff...

Stuff to be discussed until they fizzle and then another may be started here. Think of it as a reduction in thread proliferation.

I'll start with this:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/bizarre-light-mystifies-yankees-red-sox-during-game-there-was-a-red-light-flashing/ar-AAMjrUB?ocid=msedgntp

A red light was spotted coming from the outfield stands and shining into the batters box. A dumbazz fan with a laser? Wierd stuff.

I think the guy was just taking a picture with a camera that had a focus assist light and that is what was seen.
Could be wrong, of course, but that's my guess.

Here's something I found out recently. The reason Elvis Presley never toured overseas is because Col Tom Parker wasn't a U.S. citizen and he was afraid (among other things) that he wouldn't be allowed back in the country and would lose his "meal ticket".

"Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker (whose real name was Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk) was an illegal alien. Sending Elvis overseas, where Parker would have needed a passport to travel, would have jeopardized his being "found out". And Parker wasn't about to send Elvis over there by himself, where someone else might have exerted control over him and convinced Elvis to dump Parker.

It is reported that a promoter in Saudi Arabia offered $10M US to tour there, which Parker turned down."

Yep, it is almost a copy of the Dr. Evil rocket from Austin Powers. A bald mega billionaire flying in a rocket shaped like a penis. All he needs now are sharks with freaking lasers!

yes, it looks like a penis. not necessarily like my penis, but a penis in general.

but i want to talk about Gravy. did you know even the most heinous tasting vegetables are slightly better tasting if the gravy touches it?

I wonder if SpaceX sold him the rights to the software that landed the booster rocket back on earth.

That depends upon the gravy.

You got it half right. Gravy and Porkroll.

If this is the junk drawer thread of PP, I'm just going to drop this right here so I can find it again:

Not like mine either. It's one of my best features.
