Dric902 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The task was simple: Showcase your knitting skills while jamming out to heavy metal music. “It's ridiculous but it's so much fun,” said Heather McLaren, an engineering Ph.D. student who traveled to Joensuu, Finland, from Scotland for the competition. “When I saw there was a combination of heavy metal and knitting, I thought ‘that's my niche.’” The competition drew about 200 people, including heavy metal fans in a country where the musical genre is very popular. “In Finland, it's very dark in the wintertime, so maybe it's in our roots. We're a bit melancholic, like the rhythm,” Mark Pyykkonen, one of the judges of the competition, said. Participants in the competition came from nine countries, including the U.S., Japan, and Russia. It was the five-person Japanese group named Giga Body Metal who won the title. The team put on a show featuring sumo wrestlers and a man dressed in a kimono. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/finland-heavy-metal-knitting-world-championship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dric902 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Humor…JULY 16, 2019 AT 7:00 AMNobody Asked Me / OldNFO The nicest thing about the future is . . .. That it always starts tomorrow. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail. 3.. If you don’t have a sense of humor, you probably don’t have any sense at all. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you’re in deep water. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night? Business conventions are important. . .because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks? Scratch a cat . . . And you will have a permanent job. No one has more driving ambition than the teenage boy who wants to buy a car. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 a..m. – like, it could be the right number. No one ever says “It’s only a game” when their team is winning. I’ve reached the age where ‘happy hour’ is a nap. Be careful about reading the fine print. . . . there’s no way you’re going to like it. The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket. Do you realize that, in about 40 years, we’ll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!) Money can’t buy happiness — but somehow it’s more comfortable to cry in a Cadillac than in a Yugo. After 60, if you don’t wake up aching in every joint, you’re probably dead. Always be yourself because the people that matter don’t mind . . .. . And the ones that mind don’t matter. Life isn’t tied with a bow . .. . .. . .. . But it’s still a gift And last but not least- As I watched the dog chasing his tail, I thought dogs are easily amused… Then I realized I was watching the dog chase his tail 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedreams Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so, I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking. My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing." The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?" At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions. Finally, I pondered an age-old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know? Well, after another beer and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question. Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion. A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child." On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts." I rest my case. Time for another beer and then maybe a nap. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
