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.

PLACES OF NOTE

Not My Job - Street Edition
=10=

So many people live near buildings that are older than my whole country.
=11=

Ouarzazate is a large desert town nestled at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains, in southern Morocco.
With exotic scenery, clear skies and friendly locals, providing an attractive location for movies such as The Man Who Would Be King (1975), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), The Mummy (1999), Gladiator (2000), Black Hawk Down (2001), Alexander (2004), Babel (2006), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010), 13 Hours (2016), and part of the TV series Game of Thrones and Prison Break.
RH: I bet one of the draws is that the local extras have learned not to look at the camera.

Russia seems like a nice place...

PEOPLE TO EMULATE

Dutch athlete sings Disney's 'Frozen' to British opponent after helicopter triggers his PTSD
"A helicopter flying over the Sydney Olympic Park precinct triggered an immediate emotional response in a British wheelchair tennis player but his Dutch partner who brought him around by singing a Disney movie theme song to him. “For him, this was the moment he let go, and he did, he literally let it all go.”
=17=


Japanese relay runner Iida Rei crawls to the finish line on bloody knees after a leg injury

She crawls for 200m, the head coach of Iwatani Sangyo said that he had informed the race organizers of the team's intention to drop out of the race when Iida was injured, but it was "regrettable" that the organizers failed to stop her, but the organizers said the staff could not stop Iida because of her eagerness to continue the race.

GET LEARNT

Cemetery gun, 1710.
Cemeteries set up this flintlock weapon at the foot of a grave, armed with three tripwires strung in an arc. When a grave robber triggered the device, the gun — mounted a mechanism that allowed it to spin freely — shot the intruder.
=25=

Fire in the fucking hole...
=26=

2,400-year-old Greek shipwreck found 2km down in the Black Sea off the coast of Bulgaria.

World's oldest intact shipwreck discovered in the Black Sea, archaeologists say the 23-meter vessel has lain undisturbed for more than 2,400 years. How cool is that?

=27=

"Here lies an unknown English Lieutenant killed in air combat". Western Desert, Egypt, 1941
=28=

Oliver Plunkett (1629-1681) was the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, who was executed for treason “for promoting the Catholic faith”. 
He was hanged, drawn and quartered in Tyburn in 1681, during a time of rampant religious intolerance and unrest.

FUN WITH LANGUAGE

=30=

Think about American politics. It is just so stupid. We are not good and bad; we are all Americans and that used to mean something.
=31=

=32=

=33=

=34=

=35=

=36=

No. No, it doesn't.
I had both of my tattoos proofread by at least six people so I wouldn't look stupid for...oh...ever.
=37=

I thought long and hard what BTTFTOY meant.
Back to the Future Toy

"Who the fuck have you been sending all those hieroglyphs to?"

"Solid dick" was slang for straight talk.

This was a tough one. I only give myself two minutes, and my guess is "Even Stevens". I doubt it is that simple though.
