Monday Funnies

Funny Stuff

It may be Monday, but it’s a holiday.

So let’s kick back with a gin and a chuckle or two…

That’s enough chuckling.  Time for some relaxation.

 

Now go and do something good… or not.  I won’t judge.

Weekend Drive

Drive Time

It being the weekend, take an hour and a half to watch the story of how Porsche became a force in top-end “prototype” endurance racing once again (as opposed to just racing 911s in lower classifications).

Even though the video has been produced with all the pizazz of a corporate PR release, note the passion and dedication.

Explaining Why

Drive Time

This is probably the best and most honest look at why we buy stuff — in this case specifically, Porsche cars — and it’s only a little over 20 minutes long.

I like everything about this video:  the maker’s almost child-like curiosity, the lack of humbug and the dawning realization of what, exactly, Porsche is all about.

There’ll be a longer video appearing here tomorrow, on a more specific Porsche, but this is an excellent starter pack.

Enjoy.

Oh, and for a bonus in the video: Jay Leno absolutely skewers Ferrari.

Sharing The Goodness

Good Stuff, Illegal immigrants

TexGov Greg Abbott continues to do good work:

“President Biden’s inaction at our southern border continues putting the lives of Texans—and Americans—at risk and is overwhelming our communities,” said Governor Abbott. “To continue providing much-needed relief to our small, overrun border towns, Chicago will join fellow sanctuary cities Washington, D.C. and New York City as an additional drop-off location. Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them.” 

Many Texans (me too, sometimes) think that Abbott is a bit of a squish, but in this regard, he’s a stone killer.  Keep it going, Guv.
