Clock O and Friends

Greetings, Explorers! 🌏📻💻

Get ready for a busy weekend on the amateur radio AND internet airwaves!

Yes, I know the internet doesn’t have airwaves...

But hey, it sounds better. 😁

Because 𝐉𝐎𝐓𝐀-𝐉𝐎𝐓𝐈 is happening around the world this weekend, bringing Scouts and Guides together through amateur radio, the internet and a whole lot of curiosity.

And the 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐰 and I are getting involved too!

I first took part in 𝐉𝐎𝐓𝐀 more than 30 years ago, and tomorrow we’re jumping forward a few decades and virtually visiting the 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐡 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 to interview some of the miniature people taking part in this year’s event. 🎤🌏

We’ll be recording the interviews, so you’ll get to meet some of them too once I’ve had a chance to put everything together.

When will that be?
..we’ll get there. 😂

But it should be a LOT of fun.

And here’s something I think is particularly cool...

This year marks 30 years since 𝐉𝐎𝐓𝐈 became an official World Scouting event.

But JOTI actually began being pioneered in Australia back in 1995...

Which means some of the people I’m still talking to from those days and I were involved 31 YEARS AGO. 😳

How cool is that?

If you’re taking part in 𝐉𝐎𝐓𝐀-𝐉𝐎𝐓𝐈 somewhere in the world this weekend, shout out in the comments!

🌏 What Scout or Guide group are you with?
📻 What are you getting up to?
💻 Are you doing JOTA, JOTI, or both?
⏳ And how long have you been involved?

And if you’ve never heard of 𝐉𝐎𝐓𝐀-𝐉𝐎𝐓𝐈 before, go have a look.

There are Scouts and Guides all over the world talking, learning, sharing cultures, playing, experimenting with technology and making new friends.

Curiosity on a global scale.

I can definitely get behind that. 💜

Stay kind.
Stay curious.
Stay Twisted.

It’s your favourite clown, 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐎, right here on Facebook! 😁

Did you see the video we just put up?

It’s the ALPHABET! All of the letters! Every one! 🌈

🐼 💜 🤡 🦍 🕒 🤖 👴 🪐 🪄

We got the whole 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐰 together and went ’Round the Alphabet from A all the way to Z, finding something ROUND for every single letter!

And it was SO much fun, we went ’round TWICE! 😂

The quick version is right here on Facebook!

But if you want to see the whole crew go ’round and ’round the alphabet, again and again together, we’ve got the full version waiting for you over on YouTube!

🔴 Watch the full 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭 here:

And this time, he’s been to the day mankind finally steps foot on Mars. 🔴🚀

So... what did we find?

Well...

It might not be quite what we expected. 😁

𝐄𝐃𝐍𝟏’𝐬 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 are all about looking ahead.

What could happen tomorrow?
Where could we go?
What could we discover?
What amazing things might miniature people growing up today live long enough to see?

We don’t know.

But that means we get to wonder. 💜

Come take a little trip into the future with 𝐄𝐃𝐍𝟏.

🍌🍇🥒 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐀𝐓 𝟑𝐏𝐌 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘!

Today, we release the premiere edition of 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰? 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐫. 𝐁𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨., and the rest of the Curiosity Crew are ready to join in on the 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰? fun!

And first up, 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐩 is joining 𝐌𝐫. 𝐁𝐞𝐧 to answer the age-old question that has plagued mankind for all of history...

What DO bananas, grapes and cucumbers have in common? 🤔

This will also be the first time one of our 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰? videos is released simultaneously on Facebook AND YouTube - so watch it wherever you please, wherever is easiest for you. 💜

And before we give you our answer... Give me yours! 😂

What ridiculous connection can you come up with between bananas, grapes and cucumbers?
Can you make me laugh?

BONUS POINTS if your answer is actually TRUE... and it still isn’t the answer we give in the video. 😁

Enjoy your Sunday, have a wonderful day, and I’ll see you at 3pm with 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰? 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐫. 𝐁𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨. 🍌🍇🥒

Stay awesome.

🐼 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐭? 🐼

Hello, friends. 💜

I was having a little look at 𝐌𝐫. 𝐁𝐞𝐧’s computer and discovered that Eric the Koala is going to be at the ETC 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 & 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 event tomorrow.

And now I’m wondering...

Would Eric like to be my friend? 🐼🐨

After all, people do seem to get a little confused about pandas, koalas and bears. Maybe we could compare notes. 🤔💜

I wonder if 𝐌𝐫. 𝐁𝐞𝐧 and 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬. 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐞 would let me tag along for a little while.

I’ll have to go and ask.

If you think I should come along and meet Eric, please press the like button. Maybe if enough of you say yes, I can convince him. 😊

Have a wonderful day, friends.

- 𝐏𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧

P.S. I’ll put the link to the event in the top comment. 💜

Our resident number-crusher, 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐲 himself, is taking us on a journey through the three great periods of the Mesozoic Era - the Triassic, the Jurassic and the Cretaceous.

And he’s here to teach you not only that there were probably more dinosaurs than you thought...

There was also a whole lot MORE than dinosaurs! 😮

Flying reptiles soared through the skies.
Marine reptiles swam through the oceans.
Mammals were already scurrying around.
And all sorts of other strange and wonderful creatures shared prehistoric Earth.

So let 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐲 introduce you to a few prehistoric names you may never have heard before.

And how about this for a deal...
For every creature you’ve never heard of, you tell a friend about the video. 😁
Fair?

𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐲 thinks he might be able to stump you. ⏰🦕
