Manbabies, And An Instantiation Of Snell’s Law

Stolen from Manbabies.com !

I didn’t know there was a whole site for these! Why wasn’t I told? I love manbaby photo-shops!

Enas has been at it again!

Yesterday was the (new) second-highest hit tally in A&A history. And there was absolutely no reason for it.

Ya know – I remember starting this blog with the naive idea that I could vary the post subjects and content etc and get a feel for what generates lots of hits.

The only rule I found – I call it the Soylent Asshat T&A Auto-correlation Theorem, after Me and CB – was that tits & ass (and science snark) really really sell well.

But there is no T&A in the last post to speak of. This means I’m comfortably in my wrong region, again…

So go figger…….

The Short End Of The Stick

It’s snowing out there again. The weather folks predicted a half-inch.

So far it’s about 1.5 inches.

I blame O’Bugger.

The pachpuk family never quite got the hang of bouillabaisse.

Daver sent me the above – probably just to tease me.

I obviously haven’t got jack-shit to say today.

Silent Steampunk: Whither Umbilical Cord?

That mask is ideal for that special lady in your life for Valentine’s day!

In keeping with the long-standing policy I just made up – today is Tits N’ Kitties day.

Sam Colt may have made all men equal, but this baby reduces them to a bubbling pile of constituent elements plus a stench.

Konrad Von Hochstaden: My Hero

“No  one thought Konrad had the balls to do it – by he showed them!”

Konrad – in case you were interested – was the Archbishop of Fenwick, or some such odd place, back in the mists of time during the much discussed Good Ol’ Days epoch.

He was most remembered by history as the dude who screwed the most friends in the back – and not with his Von Johnson, either!

I was surfing around the webberthingy and found this!

The Painted Idiots Of Lima about to pass the flake-pipe again.

Check out this mighty piece of ordnance:

Now is that or is that not the finest piece of steampunk hardware you’ve seen today? And … its a genuine Leviton Vaporizer, a name you can trust for all your defilifitation needs.

Here’s a happy customer:

Parsimonious Zeitgeist, And A Palimpsest On Orange Huffing

I’ve always had a special affinity towards the boogieman.

I had a boogieman under my bed when I was young. Well, when I was young and right up until I started liking girls.

If you never had a boogieman under your bed – or in your closet – then you have no clue as to the intensity of the experience.

Stephen King wrote a marvelous introduction to one of his books – a collection of short stories, if I recall correctly  – that (I don’t have the book handy) went something like this:

“When I was a small child, I knew there was a boogieman under my bed.

I was utterly convinced that if I kept all of my bodily parts – arms, legs, hands, feet, face – completely under the covers, then the boogieman couldn’t get me.

And even now -  as an adult – I still like to keep everything under the covers.

- Now I KNOW that there is no such thing as a boogieman, and I KNOW that he’s a figment of a child’s imagination, and that he’s NOT gonna sneak up on me in the night and get me.

But I also KNOW that if I continue to keep everything under the covers, then – by God! -  he can’t get me!”

Stephen King. Wise man. Even if he is a Liberal.

The bike above obviously belongs to a Wiccan. I keep hearing the theme of the Wicked Witch of the East from Wizard of Oz.

I always wondered what happened to Sgt. Schultz from the show Hogan’s Heroes.

Middle-Easterners, mooning the US. Naturally (and thankfully), they’re doing it wrong.

And don’t miss the Annoying Orange.

Wednesday Obtrectation – With A Dab Of Ennui.

I am sooo jealous of that dude back there. Some day…some day…

I really have nothing to say. But that is not going to stop me from posting something – anything – today.

I noted a note over on the Blog of Note Lemur Kings Folly that someone somehere claims Jones from CRU has resigned! But I find nothing anywhere else to confirm it.

That would indeed be wonderful.

This boat photo is especially well-composed.

I also note that Drudge reports that the Fed has had to “revise” the new jobs figures down by about 3/4 million.

Just a minor glitch, y’know.

The secretive and reticent Peruvian Watermelon Men – in their disguises. Later, there was a dance and a guffawing contest.
