Cane Toad Toxicity: Can Obama Save Us?

June 29, 2008

This is a crocodile getting ready to chow-down on a cane frog. It will be his last meal – unless he catches a quick bite immediately after frog-dining.

See? I told you so.

The whole story is right here - at New Scientist – where they fire anyone not crispy-fresh as the morning dew.

And in other science news, NASA is going to launch a solar sail thingy! Yeah!

The story is here - at NASA Science News – where employees are required to wring out their brains each evening before retiring. Seems all the previous attempts have pretty much failed – due (do? Duh) to no fault of the sail-thingy. This is the one that counts, folks.

here is some porn. The Last Of The Few has a nice Bedtime Totty posted, too!

Ejection Techniques In DNC Candidate Selection.

June 28, 2008

Pravda – which should mean “Yeah – sure!” in English – has a collection of aircraft ejections here that is fairly entertaining. Some of ‘em depict the pilot busting through the cockpit canopy. That must smart a bit.

Now there is a question: why does mashing a body part cause it to smart? Seems to me it should cause it to dumb. Or, maybe dumb describes its’ pre-mash condition, and the mashing causes an increase in intelligence. Who can say.

Here is a photo of an icy tree.

There are more of ‘em here.

This is porn. This – on the other hand – is The Last Of The Few’s Daily Chassis, or whatever.

McGoo Just Might Buy Himself A Home!

June 26, 2008

Well, well, well. Seems the owner wants to sell. They just agreed to credit me with the cost of repairing/replacing all the things I complained about. I suspect the offered $ are a little light for the effort required, but I also know I can do half of them myself for little more than the cost of materials.

That was the last deal-killer threatening the sale. I guess I’m gonna buy the place on about July 11th!

I’m gonna be one busy McGoo for the next 2 weeks. I guess I better finish designing a big (25-x50′ or bigger) garage/shop.

I guess I also better finish packing my shit here and getting the moving quote and schedule.

After a total of almost seven years in a city I generally despise, I am finally going to resume my single, solitary, irresponsible, hedonistic, devil-may-care, confirmed-bachelor life.

This is porn. This is the LOTF Daily Dollop, or Chassis, or Nightly Totty.

Peristaltic Pumps – For Your DNC Fluid Needs!

June 25, 2008

This is a peristaltic pump. A circular one.

This is a … wait for it … semi-circular peristaltic pump.

This is Rock, Paper, Scissors.

I think I stole the R,P,S thing above from Mitchieville, but I’m not sure.

This is porn. And this is the LOTF Daily Beauty.

Machine Porn! Perversion That Even The DNC (Reluctantly) Abjures!

June 24, 2008

What started it all is the fact that a machine – a web ‘bot – has been slamming my blog with hits all day, and yesterday too. Not that I give a flatulent fuck in a fisting festival, but – well – it got me started on a topic.

Now here is a machine:

That is – no shit! – a biological mechanism. It’s the “clutch” that allows a certain bacteria- the Bacillus subtilis, i.e. the “sneaky fucker” bacteria- to run its li’l flagella-motor or idle it. So how ’bout that happy crappy? The whole story is here - at Science Daily – where they pummel their flagella constantly, but to no avail.

But that isn’t my point. my point is that there is a pile of Machine porn right out there under our collective noses, and most poor slobs never even notice it.

Here – check this out:

That – my li’l perverted friends – is an Archimedes Screw! Yes – its old. I couldn’t find a young one. But that’s ok – Archimedes is old, too.

Does it get the ol’ blood flowin’? No? How ’bout an animated version? Here:

Here’s some more machine Porn – a classic!

Yes boys and girls – them there are real toothed spline gears – nekkid! This photo is totally illegal in the Netherlands, and in Michigan. Ooooh!

And just to show that Machine Porn is not a new phenomena resulting from the New Promiscuity – take a glance at this drawing foound in a monks chambers – the perv! :

Even the Ancients got their rocks off on machines! Look at this old piece of art:

All those folks sitting comfortably in the boat are watching that guy to the right get it on with a …. rudder! The poor fellow in the middle was overcome with lust and fell overboard.

And look – more!

You were really a nobody back in ancient Greece unless you had a really big rudder.

The above is a toothed gear pulling a chain, I kid you not. Dry – mind you! Not a drop of WD-40 in sight!

Naturally, people being what they are, some restraint was attempted back in the Victorian age (may it be forever behind us):

These are known as – no shit – Vise Grips! They were contrived to keep a grip on the baser instincts, and boy! do they work! Likewise, this diagram was an instruction manual for Machine-Human copulation:

Check out that flapper-valve up above! Enough to make a grown man blush.

The poor perv above is doing the sin that shall not be named – either that or the sin that was invented to pass time on the flight line – I can’t tell which.

And finally – a happily married mixed couple:

Here is some flesh-flesh porn.

I Gots Dem Ol’ Time Tewsday Post Blues – And De’ Stink Of DNC Perversion – On Ma’ Mind!

June 24, 2008

I blatantly stole this from Mitchieville, because it’s funny. And because it was there. And because I could. And … apologies to Weasel.

And I stole this from Something Awful – because I like things having to do with teeth.

Here is some porn, and the LOTF Daily Lovely Whatever.

Coming Soon! A New Post! Fortified With DNC Change & Hope!

June 22, 2008
