About Me

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.

NEWS FROM THE FRONT



We are all under tremendous stress and it will probably get worse before it gets better. I have no words of wisdom. Just try to take care of yourself. We are all winging this.

A "monument of Russian peace" (aka a dud missile) embedded in the asphalt

“When you attack us, You will see our faces, not our backs” - Ukraine president

And...

"B**ches, get the f**k out of Ukra1ne and our village. 

Grandma Nadya"

Russian armored car attempts to murder an old man in a car.

But after heroic efforts, the old man survived.

*That is false. But, it's the type of propaganda every army needs.

I just hope they don't tell them to stick the rag down in the bottle. You seal the bottle and tie the rag around the neck.

A Russian warship radioed an order for 13 guards on tiny Snake Island in the Black Sea to surrender. The guards refused and the Russians killed them all. Here are their last words:

Americans have had our battle cries:

Remember the Alamo.

Give me liberty or give me death.

I regret I only have one life to give to my country.

And now the Ukrainian Resistance have theirs.

The world watched as the Afghans gave the US hell with Improvised Explosive Devices. There are tutorials online to teach you how to make one. My question is: Why the fuck weren't thousands of them planted along every road leading into Kyiv?

But as is my habit I find humor cathartic.

Crabs and lobsters are the same thing except one is folded hotdog style and the other is folded hamburger style.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT

An alternative view of the Taj Mahal and its surroundings.

When you have multiple comments you want to make to Folio Olio please put them all together. It takes a long time to process each and it would be such a time saver for me if you just lumped all your comments together. Thank you.
^^A4^^

^^A5^^

That took me longer than it should have.
^^A6^^

The size of that fucker!

Another case of art imitating life...

^^A7^^

Yak from Tibet.

^^A8^^

Apparently, this happens often.

Looks like the paper the film company hangs off the shelves when shooting inside.

Now squint.

Italian soldiers hoisted a crate, dog, and artillery gun up a mountain, ca. 1915.

^^A16^^

^^A17^^

^^A18^^

That looks like very little effort.
^^A19^^

^^A20^^

Little Pig

-sound on-

^^A21^^

I would be the first murder victim on TV whose loved ones described as "He kind of deserved it".

PEOPLE DOING THINGS I CAN'T OR WON'T DO


I think the orbs at the end of the women's walk are the strings that keep them in straight lines.
^^B1^^

"What's the matter with you?"
- boyfriend
^^B2^^

Let's never forget this picture exists.

With his hands in his pockets.

I like seeing people walk by with a little smile on their faces because something small happened that made them happy. Maybe they got a cute text, maybe they got laid, or maybe they killed somebody that pissed them off. We will never know.

Hamburg Germany Ferry in Rough Water

Here's what it looked like from inside...

This shows you could easily get in that house with a clawhammer.

^^C8^^

*That was all one clip and I edit it over/under and I'm rather proud of that.

And it had the little hole in the mat for the hook.

Car on Fire

That exact thing happened to a car of mine. I was out of town when the fire department asked my wife if that was her car and pointed a block and a half down the street. My wife said, "No, mine is parked right out front." Then he explained that the heat of the fire melted the starter wire and it just "cranked" itself down the street.

Dr. Johnson once upbraided Boswell, after Boswell said he was "worried" about the "situation in America". Johnson asked him if he had either lost sleep or appetite. Boswell said no. Johnson told him he was not really worried then. Johnson's definition is a good one. Have you lost sleep or appetite? If not you are merely virtue signalling...

Dear Mike, I cry sometimes. Does that count?

My wife and I adopted a little girl from Russia almost 25 years ago. The citizens of Russia are no different than the citizens in America (or the rest of the world for that matter). All they want is to raise their kids, and hopefully leave the world in a little bit better place. The only people that want war are the ones that don't have to fight in it.

And as my old man use to say. Only cream, foam and bastards rise to the top

MIKE HARRIS said...

Dear Ralph, You are cleverly ducking the question; do you lose sleep or appetite because of the situation in the Ukraine? Give an honest answer...

Ralph Henry said...

Dear Mike, So, am I to assume crying doesn't count? Dr. Johnson might not know what he's talking about. Let's look at it this way: You look at something and lose your appetite. I look at the same thing and cry. Who would you think was more worried?
