Heat-Seeking Laser

There was that telly show, Street Hawk (1985). The theme music is grand — "Le Parc" by Tangerine Dream . Here, marvellous. The Intro He was a motorcycle cop, injured. Now, he's riding a more deadly motorcycle. A top secret government mission to ride... Street Hawk. ... designed to fight urban crime. Capable of an incredible speed up to 300 miles an hour. ðŸĪĻ And a Minsk firepower. ðŸĪ” (PVCs tumble. The wall loses them. Plung. Dung. Tung. One rolls. Clonk. ) The Guest Star I ride a motorbike. If I rode a papaya plant, then I wouldn't ride the bike. It's either the plant or the bike. Officer Jesse Mach, the main lad, rode a motorcycle with a jet engine shoved inside. Jet. Engine. The phrase "motorcycle with a jet engine" should raise instant alarms, like shouting "flamethrower in a nursery" or "chainsaw ballet". Let's see here: Motorcycle ➡️ Two wheels. Balances by physics, gyrosco...

Chess: Zukertort Opening: Tennison Gambit with ?! and ??

Hi! I played offence here. Here's the opening position: Anyway in this game, the board looked like it was littered with landmines of ?! and ?? . The battle roar should sound: Mistake, inaccuracy, mistake! Onwards! ðŸ“Ē It ended with a checkmate. I rather fancy Tennison Gambit. Instead of 2.exd5 or 2.e5 , I'd prefer... that. The horse neighing on f3 . Neigh, I say! 🐎ðŸī You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board.

Elders Drinking Song

⬆️ As if your bones heard something familiar from before you were even born. That song is from the Amis (é˜ŋįūŽæ—) people of Taiwan. 老乹éĢē酒歌 or Elders Drinking Song is a traditional Amis chant, famously performed by Difang (éƒ­č‹ąį”·) and Igay (éƒ­į§€į ) who were Amis from the Maran (éĶŽč˜­įĪū) settlement. The vocals were lifted straight from a 1988 recording of Difang and Igay singing during a French government-backed ethnomusicology project — meant for research. With EMI as the outsourced vault. EMI (Electric and Musical Industries), a commercial British label. Because even "non-commercial" academic recordings were often pressed to vinyl / CD by big labels, just for reach or preservation. EMI probably saw it as just another folk catalogue item. The original singers never expected their voices to hit global charts — through Enigma. Enigma is a German musical project founded in 1990 by Michael Cretu. They were under Virgin Reco...

Handketchup

I was watching a gameplay of METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER on YouTube by MKIceAndFire . I "read" that, handketchup , in the inventory. I thought to myself — Oh, that's probably just a condiment for his ration. What I'm saying is, there's that "snake eater" bit in it, right? Ketchup for eating a roasted snake, juicy rat, or tingly spider perhaps. So I thought again — Hm, all right. It would mask the uncharted taste. Never mind the possibility of poison — looks edible, ketchup! ðŸĪ” But hang on, handketchup ? Is it like a hand grenade? One word? So I rewound the video and REREAD it. 👀 ðŸ’Ĩ Oh! HANDKERCHIEF! Well I never! You see, handkerchief and handketchup , they're... rather similar, aren't they? There's the "ch" after "handke", but not the other letters. And when I think about it, twice, they're all in his backpack . What sort of backpack ...
