The latest Fool offering is a neck-through version of the classic short-scale "student" guitar that players like John McLaughlin and Todd Rundgren adopted because it allowed them to stretch out for giant extended chords.
The Clark University Department of Visual and Performing Arts produces three main stage shows a year in the Michaelson Theatre of Little Center. In the past, we’ve presented both classical and contemporary works including: Twelfth Night, This is Our Youth, Fifth of July, Good Person of Szechuan, and Romeo and Juliet. There are also a number of student groups on campus that produce on both the main stage and in the experimental theatre as well. For example, Clark’s Musical Theatre Union has produced Little Shop of Horrors and Urinetown. The C.U. Players Society has offered Fuddy Mears, Eleemosynary, and Stop Kiss. Many of these are directed by local professionals while others are directed by students. These productions are open to majors and non-majors alike.
We stopped at Mother Fools on our way back for some cold drinks in time to see one of the shop employees cleaning the windows. The patrons inside pay him no heed.

As the Americans approached the Japanese home islands, Japan became increasingly desperate for a weapon that could turn the tide, or at least force a tolerable peace. Kamikaze suicide attacks were seen as that weapon, but for the kamikazes to reach their targets, they would have to fly through a wall of American fighters and antiaircraft fire. By 1945, most kamikaze pilots were poorly trained, and their chances of getting through American defenses were low--though many did, killed a great deal of Allied sailors, and sank ships, most never reached their targets. Often, those that did hit did not sink their targets, because they could not carry enough ordnance.
The Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal, along with students at the University of Tokyo and a kamikaze pilot, Ensign Mitsuo Ohta, came up with a design that would hopefully allow even a poorly-trained pilot to reach their target quickly, avoid interception, and do enough damage to sink a ship with one hit. The MXY-7 was powered by three rockets and carried a 2700 pound warhead; the fuselage and wings were made of wood so that they could be produced quickly and cheaply. To reach its target, it would be carried underneath a Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" bomber, converted to a mothership: when the bomber was 20 miles from the target, the MXY-7 would be dropped, the pilot would trigger the rockets, and the aircraft would accelerate to almost supersonic speeds before it hit the target.
Because the MXY-7 fell from the mothership like a cherry blossom falls from a tree, it was named the Ohka (Cherry Blossom); cherry blossoms, which mature quickly and die, are also symbolic of samurai. The pilots themselves were nicknamed "Thunder Gods," for the force of the explosions they would cause.
Unfortunately for the Japanese, the Ohka's need for a mothership was its fatal flaw. The G4M was slow and vulnerable to begin with, and easy prey for American fighters. Most G4Ms equipped with Ohkas never reached their dropoff points before they were destroyed; as the MXY-7 pilot was sealed inside the rocket before takeoff, he could not bail out. Though several Ohkas were launched, only a handful reached their targets, and only one ship was confirmed as actually being sunk by a MXY-7. American sailors and airmen derisively referred to the Ohka as the "Baka Bomb"--baka meaning "fool" in Japanese.
The limitations of the Ohka were known to its designers, and work was underway to replace the rockets with longer-ranged jets. There were also plans to land-base MXY-7s in caves on catapults and even on submarines; when the Americans landed in the home islands, the Ohkas would be barrage fired in a single devastating strike. The atomic bombs and Japan's surrender ended these plans. 852 MXY-7s were built, and those that were not expended in kamikaze attacks were captured by the Allies after the war. With limited military use, most were scrapped, but 15 survive to this day.
I-10 was one of 17 Ohkas that were captured at Yontan Airfield on Okinawa, on 1 April 1945. It was brought back to the United States and eventually acquired by the Victory Air Museum in Illinois. In 2001, Yanks Air Museum contacted Victory to acquire a P-47 from them, and the latter threw in their MXY-7 as a bonus. (Much to Yanks' chagrin: Yanks prides itself on only having American aircraft on display; this Ohka is one of only two foreign aircraft on display, along with a RAF Harrier GR.3.)
I got a much better shot of Yanks' MXY-7 than Planes of Fame's the next day. The cherry blossom on the nose naturally refers to the aircraft's name.
Two Fools (one in the tractor, one behind the Landrover), two derelict boats, two landrovers and a tractor. They decided to pull the smaller fire-damaged boat out of the mud whereapon the keel dug into the mud turning the boat onto its side. continuing to pull it, they got it stuck on the concrete block being used to tie the other boat up. They proceeded to anglegrind the mast off, narrowly missing one of the landrovers, which they had moved closer, and then proceeded to cut up a fire damaged fibreglass boat with a large grinder and no mask, plenty of fibreglass dust in the air! By doing this they blocked in the Landrover with trailer attached as it had nowhere to reverse, maybe we should have waited for the rising tide?
Fooling around with my IR950 Neewer infrared filter. Does it really have a threshold of 950nm? Wish if i can test this more precisely. This shot was taken using on camera flash and since it's just for playing around, I've used highest ISO possible.
I saw someone do this a while back on here, but for the love of me, I never favourited the shot, and now have no idea who it was. If it was you, thanks for the idea!
Don't know much about dancin'
That's why I got this song
One of my legs is shorter than the other
'N' both my feet's too long
'Course now right along with 'em
I got no natural rhythm
But I go dancin' every night
Hopin' one day I might get it right
I'm a dancin' fool, I'm a
Dancin' fool
I hear that beat; I jump outa my seat
But I can't compete, cause I'm a
Dancin' fool, I'm a
Dancin' fool
The disco folks all dressed up
Like they's fit to kill
I walk on in 'n' see 'em there
Gonna give them all a thrill
When they see me comin'
They all steps aside
They has a fit while I commit
My social suicide,
I'm a Dancin' fool,
I'm a Dancin' fool
The beat goes on
And I'm so wrong
The beat goes on
And I'm so wrong
The beat goes on'n' I'm so wrong
The beat goes on 'n' I'm so wrong
The beat goes on 'n' I'm so wrong
I may be totally wrong, but I'm a
Dancin' fool, I'm a
Dancin' fool
Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa
I got it all together now
With my very own disco clothes, hey!
My shirt's half open, t'show you my chains
'N' the spoon for up my nose
I am really somethin'
That's what you'd prob'ly say
So smoke your little smoke
Drink your little drink
While I dance the night away,
I'm a Dancin'fool,
I'm a Dancin'fool, etc., etc.
I may be totally wrong but I'm a
I may be totally wrong but I'm a
I may be totally wrong but I'm a FOOL-uh!
(spoken)
Hey, darlin'... can I buy ya a drink?
Lookin' for Mister Goodbar?
Here he is... Wait a minute...
I've got it... you're an Italian! Hah?
Yer Jewish?
Love your nails ... you must be a Libra... Your place or mine?
-Dancin’ Fool by Frank Zappa
Picture taken with while taking a break from shooting "Fool Me Once" with Danny Kaye in the Colorado Mountains in 1952. Petrine's dog, Wilson sits by her side, a gift from Vincent Price when they wrapped "The Darkest Voyage". During this period some said Petrine had put on weight and gossip mongers were speculating that it was due to a "secret pregnancy", and that the father was the ever amorous Rex Harrison, with whom Petrine had starred with the previous winter. Petrine responded to the "slander" as she put it by saying "The only thing fertilized in that picture is the apple, perhaps you should track down the bee that done the deed and try to find out HIS name"
