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.

WEDNESDAY #1458



Click it on and let Queen Janet sing to you as you scroll.




"It's about time."

Movie: Red Corner, an older movie staring Richard Gere. I liked it.


This is a toy introduced by a major toy company.
These are the words sung during their TV ads.....
What could possibly go wrong?
And somewhere there is an ad executive looking for work...

I don't think a person should run unless they are being chased.



Butt sex is like spinach.
If you're faced to have it as a child, you won't enjoy it as an adult.


Women, I hate to break it to you, but if you want to be taken seriously, don't make this face. Men will make it sexual quicker than you can say, "Don't cum in my mouth."
And it's okay to do this....just don't make eye contact or...well.....you are just asking for it....

Maybe broccoli doesn't like you either.


Who's grateful now you dead motherfucker...
Dead....grateful.....

In wine there is wisdom.
In beer there is freedom.
In water there is bacteria.
- Benjamin Franklin


You find that funny....do ya, punk?

In Pulp Fiction, the word "fuck" was used 265 times.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

They paved over the motherfuckin' Yellow Brick Road!!!!! 

See anything....odd about this painting...
Somebody be mooning....

Sadly, most fine arts degrees teach you the fine art of being unemployed.



(Why would anybody buy the insurance? Do the math)

Worth the read....Things to do while there is no Lord Cornholio.....

Land of the free, home of the brave.......well, maybe...
Wake the fuck up, people!

Have you ever found yourself sitting on a couch trying to figure out if you had too many drugs or not enough?



Do GIF's keep moving after you scroll post them?



Is it normal for a penis to make a whistling sound when peeing?



Quitting cigarettes will add years to your life, but the catch is that it will add them to the wrong end.


Is it still worth a thousand words if it's really mostly about one word?

Here's a European subway station...
Here's an American subway station...
An Asian train....
An American train....

Somebody stole my mood ring and I don't know how I feel about it.


There is no substitute for a wooden bar.....none....

You think this thing is street legal?

Shit you don't see every day....

But remember, I see nothing wrong with a man having more than one wife or a wife having more than one husband, as long as all consent.

A robot that can throw concrete blocks...a mild stone...
For all your brick throwing needs.

I sure wish I knew what I was looking at...

Iceland is considering a ban on internet porn.
Now there is nothing to do in Iceland.


Why do it this way?
Because the barrels would melt otherwise.

For years I normally enlarged images with a very special slide projector. The expensive lens produced a 1x1 image; meaning that for every foot the projector was from the wall, the image grew by one foot.
Then my buddy, Billy, introduced me to the overhead projector. It is far superior and light weight.
Projection is how people produce artwork like this.
You shine the checkerboard down the hall, trace it, then just paint it. It only "lines up" when your eye is exactly where the enlargement lens was.
That is also how this image was made...

I had the option of learning how to blow glass one time. I elected printmaking instead, but have always wondered if I would have been good at it....

This appeals to me on more levels than you can imagine...

I married a girl who I could bring home to mom, but will give me a blow job on the way there.



TRUE: They have a national campaign to end bullying in schools. They named it "Stomp Out Bullying".
I found that hilarious.


From 12 years old forward, my parents would not allow me to venture into the neighboring woods without a loaded rifle. That's true.

The worse part of watching soccer, are the multi-million dollar players whining on the ground like a snake bit little girl. It must stop.


Can you imagine meeting the man (or woman) who designed this, looked at the workers and said, "Alright, let's get started."

AND THEN THERE'S THIS...

Of all the things I hold in high regard, rules are not one of them. As most of you know, that is more or less my mantra. You tell me I "should" do such and such, and I want to know why and I want to know who decided that it was the correct course of action for me.
Old age allows me to live as I choose, meaning I get to choose how I live. But there are things you younger people don't know about old age.....yet.
I have reached an age where people die and it's not surprising. Over the last few years I have lost several real friends. 
I will admit that I have many more young friends than I have old friends because old people (most old people) refuse to change; they think the same ways they did years ago and will most certainly think the same ways in the years to come. I find that very, very boring.
You have all read or been told how fast your life passes, but you don't feel it yet. You struggle through each day and probably see your progress through life as a day to day affair. Well, I see the years flying by with alarming speed. 
Without seeming to appeal for the sympathy vote, I can see death as a real daily possibility. But.....I am ready.
I've have done everything I have ever wanted to do...or at least tried as hard as I could. 
I. Regret. Nothing.
That will be a little morbid for my wife, but I thought it was a very provocative image.

Gatling-style cannons are not used solely because of heat dissipation issues, although their increased thermal capacity is indeed a benefit. Rotary cannons in modern use are never used at full speed because they'd deplete their ammunition in seconds (not because they'd cook off rounds or burn up barrels).

The main advantages of rotary cannons are longevity of the individual barrels and higher burst-fire speed (so you get denser projectile saturation at point of impact; this is important given how fast planes move). The main disadvantage of Gatling-style weapons is increased bulk and weight (again, important given aircraft constraints).

European aerial autocannons are usually of the revolver type, which are slower-firing but considerably lighter.

Autocannons are neat. I used to hear crazy special-ops fuckers shooting Equalizers and Bofors (and howitzers, ffs!) from AC-130s all night long near Hurlbert Field in Florida. You talk about scary...

The one with the caption.... Can you imagine meeting the man (or woman) who designed this, looked at the workers and said, "Alright, let's get started."....

I cannot find your e-mail address, so you could always re-post the picture

No need if difficult

You have provided much food for thought and long may you continue

Quinta da Regaleira is an estate located near the historic center of Sintra, Portugal. It is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO within the "Cultural Landscape of Sintra". Along with other palaces in this area (such as the Pena, Monserrate and Seteais palaces), it is one of the principal tourist attractions of Sintra. It consists of a romantic palace and chapel, and a luxurious park featuring lakes, grottoes, wells, benches, fountains, and a vast array of exquisite constructions. The palace is also known as "Palace of Monteiro the Millionaire", from the nickname of its first owner, António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro.

It's a bit ironic that the "European subway station" is in St. Petersburg, RUSSIA, a country you make fun so often on your blog :) The other train related absurdity is that you compare a 21. Century supermodern long distance train with a NYC subway car from circa 1980., the golden era of Graffiti Art... ;)

"The world is a magical place full of people waiting to be offended by something."
I nailed it with that one, didn't I.

Look, Senph, I was making fun of America with the train thing....a country that I think just doesn't give a shit anymore about beauty.
As for making fun of Russia, you need to visit the GIF sites I visit. If I saw a clip of an American pulling out a pistol to merge in traffic, you can bet your sweet ass I would post it. I think the reason the internet is full of stupid stuff Russians do is because of the dash-cams they have. I don't know one American with a dash-cam.
I don't make this shit up, old buddy. I can only post what I come across.
So, lighten up, this is spoof.

Senph42 said...

Nope, sorry, I didn't got offended, I have nothing to do neither with Russia or the USA - just recognized the train and wanted to let you know where is that metro station. Beauty can be found everywhere and it seems you have a very good eye to spot it; it is also a very subjective thing and everyone has their own taste... Regarding the Russians, I know about this dash-cam phenomena, but think about it: crazy shit happens all the time and everywhere, they just happen to catch it on tape, I don't think they have a higher percentage of weirdness on the streets... Or maybe I'm wrong, I will let you know once I see it with my own eyes :)
