Judging by the shine of the sun, that footage was taken in Russia.
The pancakes are almost ready.
The cat can have ‘em.
I’ll take that pretty plate though.

I do. From a bathroom wall.
The rain began pouring just before I left the nearby grocery store tonight. Rain is something that I love and it felt good showering on me. The smell is great as is the sound. Anyway, when I entered the villa, I noticed that some of the lights did not come on. As I made it up to the last step on the stairs in the dark, I slipped and fell onto my floor. That was the first time that I ever fell in the building. I’m okay though.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I don't think so.
Happy that you didn't hurt yourself

Hopefully it won't be the last time you fall in a building. Hey, I just fell in a building now that I think of it!

I had to look them up.
I have no idea how they got their name. I’m just gonna say it was from random pages of the S and B volumes of the Encyclopædia Britannica.

"According to some sources, the name Spandau Ballet could point to two possible meanings: one refers to the jerky movements of Nazi war prisoners hanged at Spandau prison as they were hanged, or according to others, it refers to enemy lines getting shot down by a German World War II machine gun MG42 Spandau.'

"The band says they took their name from graffiti on a nightclub wall in Berlin that read: “Rudolf Hess, all alone, dancing the Spandau Ballet”.

Thank you. You’ve just made my night.
Once or twice, I fell while walking up the stairs at work. What happened tonight was not far from being like a picnic compared to that.

Yay! I did the slow fall thing myself. Like I knew I was falling but just sort of slowly fell. Hey, I have to protect my right elbow since it's titanium (a fall that was NOT like a picnic at all!).Thank you. You’ve just made my night.

Good move. What I do by instinct is land on my left side. As I fall forward, I turn so that the landing isn’t bad. I told my father about that once and he was pleased. Apparently, I got it from him.

With Lyft and Uber there's options that you have to be ok with pets to get rides where someone may have one, opt into it ans go through "training" to take rides for those who need assistance, so where's my option to not pick up any cops? Scooters are ok, dogs are always welcomed, but someone of a group who's harassed me more than once? Why should I have to help those who give me grief?

One of the band members was in a washroom in a bar in Germany, and someone had written on the wall, "Rudolph Hess, all alone dancing the Spandau Ballet". He liked the sound of the name, and used it. Later they discovered that the Spandau Ballet was a slang term given to what the Nazi war criminals who were hung did, as they were hung in Spandau Prison, but it was too late to change.
"....the band switched musical direction to embrace the new electronic music. Friend and writer Robert Elms suggested they change their name to Spandau Ballet, a phrase which he told them he had seen written on a wall on a weekend trip to Berlin: “Rudolf Hess, all alone, dancing the Spandau Ballet”.
It came from a bathroom wall.

I guess that's a fitting name for a one-hit wonder.
Although why call it a ballet instead of another kind of dance? What about the Spandau Hokey Pokey?
