Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No its something much better...

OK This should be in the Miscellaneous section but I didn't want most of the members here to miss this post as it is a once in a lifetime opportunity

THERE'S A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE ARCING ACROSS THE US OF A on AUGUST 21ST

MAKE TIME TO SEE THIS AMAZING EVENT GUYS AND GIRLS - I saw the 1999 one in Cornwall and even though the totality was obscured by cloud nothing will make me forget the amazing site of that enormous dark shadow blackening the clouds and racing across the sea to me (all the animals went quiet and 50,000 people on Plymouth Hoe all went 'WOOOO!' at the same time)

Here's the NASA site with some info on preparing for it, and a site with a state by state guide OR google it in your STATE to get the best advice on seeing it
BUT FOR GODS SAKE DON'T STARE AT IT WITH THE NAKED EYE - GET SOME KEVLAR SPECS, or watch it in reflected form on a piece of paper (various sites will show you how - google it if its not shown below)

Seriously, make time in your busy lives for this if you are anywhere near the shadow.

I'm posting this with 3 weeks to spare so you guys have time to plan for it

And just so this doesn't get moved to the miscellaneous area, Anyone know who she is ?

I thought you were promoting a 2nd Brexit referendum

[Disciple]

Let us raise our hats to this most wondrous astrophysical phenomenon, without which Batman and Robin would've been fried a mere nine months into the show.

I thought you were promoting a 2nd Brexit referendum

At first I thought he had news of a Wonder Woman '77 animated movie...

[lionbadger]

I think we can all agree that Tallyho is an incorrigible tease

[tallyho]

I never could figure out why those yanks were so amazed at seeing a bird or plane in the sky, but there ya go...

[Heroine Addict]

I never could figure out why those yanks were so amazed at seeing a bird or plane in the sky, but there ya go...

I guess the questions could have been "Is it a freakishly large bird, given its size in relation to other birds at the same altitude?" and "Is it a small plane flying dangerously close to tall buildings?"

I'm not sure the Superman opening titles would have been quite as iconic with those questions, though.

[tallyho]

Perhaps Metropolis is like LA and they couldn't see the sky for the smog?

Anyone with any notion who the babe is? Found on a drunken web surf, no idea where

[Heroine Addict]

Her name is Veronika Black. Not sure whether it's appropriate to post any direct links to her social media, as she doesn't appear to be in the adult industry.

Edit: Scrub that last comment. She gets her tits out for Patreon members.

How do people drive when it goes pitch black???(serious question a blonde chic asked me at work)

[Heroine Addict]

Surely she's familiar with the work of Thomas Edison? Was she an Amish hot blonde chic or something?

[batgirl1969]

Surely she's familiar with the work of Thomas Edison? Was she an Amish hot blonde chic or something?

Oh yes...she is very familiar with it...especially the tanning bed versions! Maybe she needs to meet the hitachi magic wand....it does wonders...

[Heroine Addict]

Yes, I understand the Hitachi Magic Wand is very good for back massages.

Joking aside, I wonder how long the Magic Wand had been on the market in 1968 before someone tried it as a sex toy? You can just imagine someone's old granny giving herself a nice massage and thinking "I wonder what happens if... Oooooooooooh!"

And strangely enough, 1968 puts it into the exact era of the classic Batgirl. A producer should do an authentic 1960s-themed video with a disguised villain tricking Batgirl into a newfangled electric massage before showing her what the Hitachi can really do.

[Imagineer]

How long on the market before someone tried it as a sex toy?

How do you think it got approved for production in the first place?

[batgirl1969]

I don't know but I was right....showed one to her...told her it was magic for sore muscles and that I use it all the time and BAM....she told she will never be the same...she has seen the light!

8 DAYS TO GO FOLKS- BOOK THAT DAY OFF AND GET THAT EYE PROTECTION

[JohnFeer]

I'm too far north to get the full effect, but the last time we went thru even an partial eclipse it was a odd unsettling phenom, the birds stopped chirping in the trees you'd a thought "Brother Mathias and The Family" were coming down the street....

[Visitor]

I'm a bit too far south and likely to be cloudy weather.

[Mr. X]

Vegas should be OK for this. At least it'll be warm.

[tallyho]

Just make sure you get Kevlar specs or look at a projection

[tallyho]

Nashville and Kansas City should have a great view wearther permitting

[shevek]

Too far north in Pittsburgh to get a good dark effect I guess? :( I'm going to have camera equipment that day anyway, so I'll try to get some photos.

Yes that is Veronika Black. Amazing body, clearly had various alterations. I think she's somewhere around Vancouver. If she indeed does go topless when paid, someone from the Cascadia contingent of SHIP producers should approach her to do a video. From her Twitter feed it looks like she might be somewhat of a demanding diva, but you never know until you ask.

[tallyho]

Good luck with the photography, make sure you take appropriate precautions.

[lionbadger]

Aren't eclipses traditionally portents of doom and calamity for....... oh, that's right Trump presidency, carry on

[Visitor]

It's going to be a dark day in the US whatever Trump does.

[Mr. X]

There is recommendations to view it through your celphone or pad.

[tallyho]

Well one day to go. Make the effort guys but google and follow all safety guidelines. I hope the skies are clear for you all. And if you are on the cruise ship out of Miami where Bonnie Tyler is gonna be singing Total Eclipse of the Heart, you will have a whale of a time

[ywf]

reminds me of someone

[tallyho]

Todays the day folks, enjoy it safely, and please share your experiences here

[tallyho]

Well chaps and chapesses, how did it go? Was it good for you too? Any stories, any pictures please post here.
And just to keep the thread vaguely SH related here's a manip of that bird from the big bang with the big bangers in SG body paint. (not my work I stress)
