Meanwhile in Denver...

The annual mattress migration is underway:

[Raider4]

Ha!

(Mind you, it's from RT - I'm surprised there isn't a commentary about how this can only happen in the decadent West . . . )

[Leman]

Did I miss something? I thought Russia had decided Communism was in fact a bad thing and replaced it with capitalist mafiosi.

[d_Guy]

It was originally reported by CBS - Denver. Of the several video edits on YouTube, the RT version lets you simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the event without annoying commentary. Cryptozoologists seem to think that this annual trek is some sort of pre-mating ritual.

As to Russia, one of its greatest capitalist contributions to life on the internet is the dash-cam video.

[Westmarcher]

The footage even made it on to the BBC website. They said the mattresses were from an outdoor cinema. They said it was gone with the wind ........

[d_Guy]

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.

How many minutes until someone makes a HoT army based on this?

[FierceKitty]

Please remember to call them dog-kennels.

[Techno]

Were they making for the swimming pool ?

Presumably some form of semi aquatic mattress.

Have you ever watched RT for more than 5 minutes? It may not be the old communist vs capitalist debate, but it's certainly still Russia vs the evil axis of America, Israel and Europe. It really is like the Cold War has not ended.

Are they flollopping? Think the later episodes of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Had Katy Kay on beyond 100 days in stitches....

With Marvin being his usual morose, sarcastic self. 

Cheers - Phil

[Not Drowning, Waving]

Indeed Techno. Marvin has to be the Alpha Robotic anti hero.  Douglas Adams genius did not end there for me. Inventing words like flollopping for what mattresses might do was a level of perfection we might never see again!

[Techno]

I totally agree. 

Cheers - Phil.
