About Me

My photo
I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

THE DAY THAT CHANGED THE WORLD...FOREVER

I organize my posts two or three days in advance, so this is dated. Sorry, but I'm just too damn lazy to plan ahead.

These are bike messengers leaving the White House on Dec. 7, 1941.

When you read the phrase "We sent our boys off to fight", remember the child's face in the middle of the image below.

After long months I have been reconnected with a dear friend. He reminded me of an installation of mine called "Brass Tacks and Hearts of Stone". I have searched for and found hundreds of stones shaped more or less like hearts.
My friend told me how busy he had been this way:
"I encountered untold amounts of bullshit. Everything from having a 47 year-old mixed martial artist pull a gun on me in my hotel room, to hanging out downtown with a colleague of an influential black supremacist and a punk rock midget with a blue mohawk."
I believe every word of it. I am blessed to have friends like him.

LET'S LOOK AT SOME ART OBJECTS

I love this creamer. If you are looking for any gift ideas for me....

Speaking of coffee...

Speaking of mugs...

Speaking of brass knuckles...

Speaking of fists...


Speaking of handjobs...




You can't make this shit up...
...a wonderful texture?!?!?!

There has got to be a law against fondling an orca's dick...


Speaking of dicks...

This is fucking hilarious. I hope you can read it...it's as large as I can make it.
It's obviously a prank, but it's a good prank.

  WORDS TO INSPIRE
  The average person tells 4 lies a day, or 1460 a year; a total of 87,600 by the age of 60. And the most common lie is: I'm fine.

  10% of conflicts is due to differences in opinion and 90% is due to using the wrong one of voice.

  3 good arguments that Jesus was black: He called everyone brother. He liked Gospel music. He didn't get a fair trial.

  I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

  A long time ago, today was the distant future.

  If you are looking for an honest answer from a woman, don't ask in bed.

  If you grunt in reply to a woman's question, please develop a system to indicate a postive vs. a negative grunt.

  NEWS TO DISGUST
I just hope I'm on their list to hate.

WOMAN WHO LOOKS LIKE A SLUT, BUT SHE'S MY WIFE...
My wife used to hitch-hike a lot when she was younger. She tells me that she got rides very quickly. I found this old photo in the album she keeps in the back of that top shelf in her closet.
As I understand it, she always found a way to "pay" for the lift.

My advice to you young men out there: Marry a woman who has been around the block a few times so that nothing you can come up with will surprises her.

(last pic): is that kid yelling in the backyard? Nice that they include the whole family in evening activities.

If he's not yelling, he ought to be. I have frightened away whole legions of heavily armed policemen with a similar, albeit not identical, guise. It was something to behold. They still talk about it down at the station house.
