Very Detailed Misinformation

Welcome, gentle passerby. My name is Craig. In general, this blog is about the journey of a theater technician into the realm of adulthood. Other stuff appears here too, such as cats, television shows, and puns. Since this is a personal blog, I will reblog whatever else I feel is interesting or relevant to my life.

I want to remind everyone AGAIN, as Tony Awards season nears:

Tonys are the awards.

Tony’s is a pizzeria.

[deactivated---1-deactivated2017]

Dunno. They sound the same to me. But, since when did the Tonys ever care about sound?

[weirdtinkerer]

You get an award for pyrotechnics because that was a sick burn.

q2qcomics: “There’s also no Tony for pyro…. Props for that joke though. Speaking of which, props also doesn’t have a Tony.” 

[slightlyinelegant]

Seems like you guys are just projecting a lot of your anger here. It’s impressive, but unfortunately there’s no award for projections either.

Can we all manage to take 5 and give them a break? Oh wait, there isn’t Tony for stage management either.

Seriously I ran out of small hinges, so I cut a binder clip in half and made two out of them. Then pop riveted the one side on using rubber feet as washers to make sure the pressure didn’t kill the plexi.  I was on a roll for ideas today.

Bringing this back because I forgot I did this again.  It was for the condiment tray on this hot dog cart (sorry about picture quality):

Proof of Time Travel

Could time travel exist? Some people believe so. Look at these images and see what you think.

1. The Chinese Swiss Watch. Back in 2008, a 400 year old tomb was opened. Archaeologists were shocked to discover this small watch among the artifacts. The back of the watch is engraved with the word “Swiss”. They have no explanation of how this modern watch came to be in an unopened 400 year old tomb.

2. Charlie Chaplin Cell Phone. Viewers watching the extras section of the 1928 Charlie Chaplin film “The Circus” noted this person seemed to be talking on a cell phone. Others have claimed it was an ear trumpet, a horned device used to help those who were hard of hearing to hear. If that’s true, skeptics argue, who would she be talking to? Why is she laughing and talking if no one is there to hear but herself?

3. 1940s Hipster. This picture was taken at a small opening event in 1941.Time travel enthusiasts were quick to point out how this man stood out. He appears to be wearing a hooded sweatshirt and printed t-shirt, and holding a modern camera.

4. Rudolph Fentz. Rudolph apparently vanished without a trace in 1876. That alone wouldn’t be enough to constitute time travel, except that he turned up again…in the 1950s. Fentz allegedly materialized in a New York street, where he was struck by a car and died. Police were baffled as to what happened, especially when they found his pockets to only hold currency from the 1800s.

5. The Man in the Book. A couple was perusing an old book store when they happened across a book with this photograph included. It shows a group from 1917, but this man sticks out. His hair is disheveled and his clothing doesn’t fit in with the time period. Also note how the man beside him his staring at him, as though he too is aware of the strangeness.

@antipodean-beauty TIME TRAVEL IS REAL

[sw-or-gtfo-deactivated20211219]

my bf has many interesting stories and observations from his new job as a 911 operator

my favorite is how meandering people are, even in the midst of a terrible emergency

they respond to “what is the emergency” with “well, the thing is, four weeks ago–”

and then he’s like “WHAT IS THE EMERGENCY RIGHT NOW”

and they’re like “so what happened this morning was, i said to my wife, i said–”

“WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING AT THIS MOMENT”

“oh i’m having a heart attack”

my second favorite is how specific he has to get sometimes

like, “what is your emergency?”

“i’m sitting in a pool of blood.”

“… is it… your blood?”

“yes i think so”

“do you know where it’s coming from?”

“probably the stab wound”

“have you been stabbed?”

“oh yah definitely”

In all fairness shock is a hell of a drug
