@garaksass let’s do it
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 after you
‘No, thanks. I must be off in a minute. I just came round to ask Jeeves how he thought I looked. How do you think I look, Bertie?’
Well, the answer to that, of course, was ‘perfectly foul’. But we Woosters are men of tact and have a nice sense of the obligations of a host. We do not tell old friends beneath our roof-tree that they are an offence to the eyesight. I evaded the question.
Right Ho, Jeeves, P. G. Wodehouse (via quote-homines)
A rush of emotion filled me.
‘Jeeves,’ I said, and if my voice shook, what of it? We Woosters are but human, ‘you stand alone. Others abide our question, but you don’t, as the fellow said. I wish there was something I could do to repay you.’
He coughed that sheep-like cough of his.
'There does chance to be a favour it is within your power to bestow, sir.’
'Name it, Jeeves. Ask of me what you will, even unto half my kingdom.’
'If you could see your way to abandoning your Alpine hat, sir.’

snegs (snake legs)
Radio news announcer: At the University of Bath, paleontologists have discovered a fossil of a snake with four tiny little legs.
Dr Glass: *outraged* WHO DID THE THING
Radio news announcer: Now, I now what you’re thinking…
Dr Glass: NICK. THIS WAS NICK. NICK DID THE THING
Radio news announcer: “isn’t a snake with legs just a lizard?”
Dr Glass: FUCKNGI NICK
Radio news announcer: scientists assure you it is not. Researcher Nick -
Dr Glass: *doing a weird accent* “ner, it isn’t a lizaaaaaaaaarrrd.”
Nick (on the radio): *a pleasant-sounding, yet defensive and slightly on-edge American* it isn’t a lizard. it has a hinged jaw. it has belly scales. it isN’T a liZARD -
Dr Glass (to the radio): WHATEVER NICK WE DON’T CARE HOW MANY GRIZZLY BEARS YOU’VE PUNCHED
Me: what
Dr Glass: possibly Kodiak bears
Although the conversation above raised more questions than it answered, I decided to flex my incredible palaeo-art skills for this:
did you know: i am demonstrably not an artist but I have actually contributed drawn figures to a published paleontological paper
they’ll let any fucker in these days
update:
Dr Glass: did you show the picture to Nick
Me: I don’t know Nick.
Dr Glass: you met him at Famous Bloody J’s
Me: I’ve never met snake-legs-man. You paleontologists with your little global hivemind, expecting everyone on the planet to know each other like the Illuminati.
Dr Glass: you drank Famous Bloody J’s homebrew together
Me: okay… that sounds fake but okay
Dr Glass: you’ve met him! You’ve met Nick! YOU TALKED ABOUT BEARS
Me: OH
Me: OH WAIT
Me: OH, PLAID GUY
Me: GOOD OLD LUMBERJACK PLAID GUY, WE HAD SUCH GOOD TIMES
Me: I SHOULD SEND HIM THIS SNEG
Why
Was this

Eeeyy, welcome to Lewis & Clark Month 2017!
I, uh, I’ll be honest: I don’t have a whole lot planned for this month, as I anticipate being quite busy. But for now, we’ll start with this, shall we?
(If these look familiar, it’s for good reason; there is also a good reason why I’m resurrecting this old art. >:3)

How Amsterdam’s Airport Is Fighting Noise Pollution With Land Art | Via
Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, located just 9 km southwest of the city, is the third busiest airport in Europe and one of the busiest in the world. In an average year, more than 63 million passengers pass through Schiphol in as many as 479,000 flights to and from various international destinations. That’s an average of about 1,300 flights every day, or nearly a flight every minute. In other words, Schiphol is very busy and very loud.
When the Dutch military first built a landing strip here in 1916, they chose the site because it was a polder —a broad and flat lowland that used to be the bed of a vast lake. Over the decades the flat expanse of the Haarlemmermeer polder became one of the most densely populated areas of the country, and the noise produced by the airport became an annoying problem for the residents.
For years, residents complained about the incessant rumbling din produced every time an aircraft took off. This type of noise, called ground-level noise, propagates across the flat and featureless Haarlemmermeer landscape that has nothing in between—no hills, no valleys— to disrupt the path of the sound waves. When the airport opened its longest runway in 2003, residents could hear the din more than 28 km away.
To tackle the noise problem, the airport brought in an unlikely candidate—an architecture firm called H+N+S Landscape Architects and artist Paul De Kort.
The idea to engage a landscape artist to solve a technical problem was born out of an accident. In 2008, after a failed attempt to control noise, the Schiphol Airport officials discovered that after the arable land between the runway and the surrounding settlements were ploughed, the noise dropped.
So Paul De Kort dug a series of hedges and ditches on the southwest of the airport, just past the edge of the runway. The distance between the ridges are roughly equivalent to the wavelength of the airport noise, which is about 36 feet. There are 150 perfectly straight and symmetrical furrows with six foot high ridges between them. These simple ridges have reduced noise levels by more than half.
