Pics that make you smile

Making a phone call is not as easy as it used to be.

I might be able to listen but how could I talk to anyone?

i've never heard of a payphone that had speakerphone ability, though they DO ring sometimes.

I think I see where the handset cables have been ripped out by vandals. :-(

In some cases it's the phone company that removes the handset and cable to disable them until such time as the whole payphone is removed. I know that because that was the practice of Fairpoint, our former telephone company whose name is on the payphones in those photos.

Reminds me of an original mini I saw at a race... It had a bumper sticker that says "all parts falling off this car are of the finest British craftsmanship"

And this same sticker was on an rx8:

Rotaries are like that, can be a lot of fun until it happens though

Weirdest one I ever drove was my brother's 91 non turbo rx7. He said that I should treat the redline as a minimum... Well, ok, if you insist... he showed me how he wanted it driven: Wrapped the tach back around to 2k before shifting - sounded like a giant electric RC car. And it just kept pulling the whole way. Knowing what I know now about rotaries, it's amazing it held together at those insane rpms... Best guess is about 12krpm. I seriously doubt he had premixed oil into the gas, so those poor apex seals were probably screaming bloody murder.

Judging by youtube videos of Lamborghinis, it seem like many of those need a sticker saying " this car might spontaneously catch fire"

With each smile he draws, a little bit of his soul leaks out.

obviously thinking like a kid - the ones around here (mine included) always climb up from the bottom. i don't know why they bother putting ladders on slides anymore.
