If you've always wanted to run a streetcar or subway train, take advantage of this opportunity at the Shore Line Trolley Museum by signing up for the Guest Operator program.
You'll be given an overview of operating principles by one of our instructors. Then it will be your turn to take the handles and operate solo! Don't worry, you won't have any regular passengers, just you, your instructor, and your invited guests.

I know what I'm doing some time this summer!

Words cannot sum up how horrifying it is. Oddly, I find the bizarre and sudden dance routine far worse then the explicit statement that your mouth is there to make God happy. (And no, you're not alone in picturing something... else when they say that.)

What I don't get, and never have, is why (so many) Christians seem to interpret "Do not take the Lord's name in vain" as meaning "Don't say fuck or shit".

I can see why they can view it as "Don't say oh my god!" even though "God" is pretty obviously a title or description rather than a name. And I can sorta see how that prohibition can be extended to "Damn" or "Hell" (or "Tabernacle"...) I mean, it's all religious terms...?

But other "bad language"? Seriously? That's just stretching the point beyond recognition.

Pat's Papers has two videos up on Indian Pole Gymnastics, or Mallakhamb.

Wikipedia says there are three varieties, including Rope Mallakhamb and Hanging Mallakhamb.

That's pretty amazing. You should definitely watch those videos.
