FOLIO OLIO: ADIAPHOROUS THURSDAY #1389

Let's start with some photographs that I found delightful...

Did you notice that all those striped women sitting on the stairs were all different?

I can just hear my son-in-law saying this...

This is in Lebanon...

I've be diagnosed with Being A Cynical Asshole. It will be fatal...just like every other thing anyone will have, including I'm The Fittest Person In The World.

"Store? No, silly. You're getting married today. Daddy sold both of you."

I learned early on to always hold in a shit until I got to work. I say, anything you're good at, never do it for free.

HAHAHAHAH!!!

Marilyn Monroe working out. Something you don't see everyday...

"Rule #39. Leave clothes on. Take clothes off. Leave on. Take off. Leave on........"

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't notice anything until the second time I ran across this...

Excellent advice...

This is a very wise man...

The world is a strange place, indeed...

I just got back from the doctor's. She told me to stop masturbating. I asked her why. She said because I'm trying to examine you.

I wonder if they had the option, what would butterflies tattoo on their lower back.

Lunch on the set...

When I see really attractive people I just laugh because I know if we lived in the Aztec culture they'd be sacrificed to the gods for their beauty.
Not being very attractive people do that all the time.

Okay, so now I'm not a slave to my schedule, I'm a slave to every over-priced novelty item I find in catalogues...

I posted this a couple of years ago. I still think it's one of the funniest cartoons I have ever seen...

While sitting at the bar, I overheard this part of a phone call: "There is nothing weird about kissing girls while they're unconscious."
I took another stool.

Dramatic images of Philippines typhoon.

The first one is a banana plantation...

I swear, if my memory was any worse, I could plan my own surprise party.

OOMVO...

I repeated that surprise party thing to make my point.

"Well, let's gather up all our stuff and get back to shelter."

Bullshit! I would be running for my life the second I was made aware of the peril.

What's wrong with these fucking people?!?

Speaking of peril...

What would it take for you Christians to realize this is fruitless?

Test it? They have and the results were predictable.

"Oh, you lost your job? I'll pray for you."

That tells me you don't want to give the guy a big chunk of your money or watch his kids while he looks for work or take meals to him....anything that would actually help to relieve his suffering. You. Pray......big fucking whoop.

OOMVO...

THEM: "Being an atheist and shaming religions and spirituality as silly and not real is not okay."
ME: "Bullying and excluding another reindeer because he has a shiny red nose is not okay."

Women, Want to give your man a meal time hard-on?

I wonder if this child knows that's from Salinger's Catcher In The Rye?

I have good taste, but I don't have the money to prove it.

Lo, the corset...

OOMVO...

Tried to start a game of "Got Your Hat", but the Fedex guy was a real pussy about it.

Beautiful...

Banksy's Christmas card....

Once both gay marriage and marijuana are finally legal, those of you against them are not invited to the really fun parties I'm gonna throw.

OOMVO...

I'm not supposed to use the word midget anymore, and apparently People Nuggets makes them made also...

Interesting whole some parts of an animal are considered delicious and others repugnant...

Every poker player in the entire world has made this gesture.....trust me...I know....

Mel will back me up on this.

It's hard to play hard to get when you're naked...

This is me trying to buy something online...

My New Year's resolution is going to be stop lying to myself about making lifestyle changes.

Once when I was in Mexico, I asked a pretty, very young homeless girl if I could take her home with me. You should have seen the look of joy on her face.
That look on her face soon changed when I walked off with her cardboard box I needed for my trinkets.

Am I the only one who thinks clapping in a movie theater is stupid.

I enjoy long romantic walks to the fridge.

"Hello, 1950's? You left your oppressive gender roles in our century. Can you come pick them up?

Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot puppies.
(My serious advice: Don't buy puppies. Get them from the pound.)

An art statement:

As a formally trained artist, I feel qualified to have opinions about art.

I can, and have, discussed how alternative applications are a valid art statement, but would take much more time than we have here.

Having painted hundreds of murals, I feel especially qualified to discuss public art.

I think that every city needs more public art; no matter what the medium.

But writing words (mostly names) is not art. I assume "some" words have been used in true Art, but the following is just blight.

I further suggest that a city should be asked what it does and does not want to look at. There are social activists like Banksy who, by the strength of their statements, and by the nature of their work, should be given some slack, but most street artists just want to tag a building with their "sign" for the same reason dogs piss on trees.

Additionally, if you wash a brush, do not hang it upside down. Any residual fluid will congregate on the tip and harden. Let them stand hairs up in a container until dry, then you can hang them as above.

I know there will always be poor people, but nothing touches me more than poor children...
