...i get tempted back into the renault fold.
i've owned a 2nd gen Clio before and it was a lot of fun with that small car but at that time, i couldn't afford the RS version with 172 horses...
now that money's not soooo tight, i'd be taking a good look at the new Megane RS for sure...247 stallions with 251 lbft of twist...

i'm listening to...
...a blast from the past...something so sad...something so poignant...Miami Sound Machine's WORDS GET IN THE WAY....this is the guitar-driven unplugged version in concert below...possibly their best ever song...and boy, she's actually kinda hot in the vid...back then anyway...

but why?????????????
bluddy attention-seeking chap
16 cockroaches in mouth may be a world record
A pet shop worker has set a new world record after stuffing 16 Madagascar hissing cockroaches - each more than 6cm long - into his mouth.
Sean Murphy, of Lansing, Michigan, US, shattered the old Guinness World Records score of 11 to secure the new mark. He initially thought he'd only be able to fit 12 and admitted the final result was a "big surprise" since he's never fit that many in before "in one try".
Murphy's effort would need to be certified by Guinness for it to be official. He now wants to push for 20 next year.

feeding fish with milk???
how odd....
Koi Carp which have the right colouration can sell for tens of thousands of pounds and aquarium owner Ding Feng said making sure the fish grew rapidly so that they could be sold for more money was very important.
Feng, 47, who owns the Hanzhou Aquarium in Hangzhou, in eastern China's Zhejiang province, said: "All my colleagues are doing it. I started to test feed the carps with milk three months ago. I visited a carp farm, and found they fed the fish with powdered milk from a bottle, and the carp were strong and active. It took my fish a little while to get used to it but now they love the new feed. As soon as they see me coming over with the bottle they fight to be the ones to suck on the teet. I don't use regular food anymore - I just give them milk."

holy shit
that mother must be gargantuan!
A 'MONSTER' great white shark measuring up to 6 metres long is prowling a popular beach after biting another great white almost in half.
Swimmers were warned to stay out of the water off Stradbroke Island after the shark mauled another smaller great white which had been hooked on a baited drum line.
The 3m great white was almost bitten in half.
News of the shocking attack on the smaller shark has sent jitters along the Queensland coast from Stradbroke Island, near Brisbane, to the Sunshine Coast further north down to the tourist mecca of Surfers Paradise, south of Brisbane.
'Whatever attacked and took chunks out of this big shark must be massive,' said 19-year-old surfer Ashton Smith. 'I've heard about the big one that's lurking out there somewhere. We're all being very, very cautious.'

Flying Lessons
My ex-wife started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started, and she got her license shortly before our divorce was final, later that same year.
Yesterday afternoon, she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting when she was forced to make an emergency landing in Southern Alabama because of bad weather.
Thank God our kids were with me at the Beach House this weekend.
The absence of a post-crash fire was due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured.
The photograph below, was taken at the scene and shows the extent of damage to her aircraft. She was very lucky.

musings of an idle mind...
Why is it when your wife becomes pregnant, all her female friends rub her tummy and say “Congratulations.”
But none of them rub your crotch and say “well done”.
But none of them rub your crotch and say “well done”.
holy shit! i am awe-struck!!!
American master juggler Michael Moschen performs his incredibly famous, jaw-dropping piece where three balls and a triangle become a musical and visual work of art.
