Acid Sweat



Serious competition: The Acid Sweat Lodge

(And perhaps my new avatar, what do you think?)


Deer Filler



I still haven't found the furry video I intended to share and then lost. I think it was a bunny woman in an office. I'll know it when I see it...

For the record, I find this incredibly painful to watch.

But perhaps my standards are temporarily higher because Troll was on TV yesterday.

Gonna have a curl




This is almost as addictive as the "Joy Ridin" song.

The secret life of pickle

This frozen runaway pickle's bid for emancipation doesn't seem like it's going so well, but it could be worse, as evidenced by what happened to its friend.  Stay out of the street! 

Spotted with CWA.

Viscous Magma, Eggs




Google translating from the Portuguese:

I really like Camille Paglia, but I think that if I was a virgin and my only idea of what a vagina was formed by the reading of Sexual Personae, I would think that a vagina is a hole from whence xaxim viscous magma, eggs, Barber, slugs covered in mucus and a tapeworm that was dancing toothy bite my nose, to the winches. And it is true that some are like that - more like Tycho Brahe lost his nose? - But there are others who, unlike the world-view of Paglia (or your pussy-view), nice and civilized, closer to a French garden than a jungle.

And it makes me think that this is the issue of gays: they read Camille Paglia, and finding that the vagina is a fuzzy slit dropping BaƱos chthonic primordial soup, keep away from it. Who would not keep? Now, write an entire book comparing the vagina to topiaries French honeysuckle in the garden of the Duchess of Mouchy, or even an art deco carpet firm of Jules Leleu, and they do not detach it most.

Set in a forest!

from allmusic's review of the 1978 Rush album "Hemispheres":
Neil Peart had become one of rock's most accomplished lyricists by this point, as evidenced by 'The Trees,' which deals with racism and inequality in a unique way (set in a forest!).
Please note the possibilities for a new non-sequitur.

There is nothing more noble than a hardworking donkey. I'm thinking we may need to start a series on the headwear fashion of beasts of burden... Onderdonk..?

On harvesting one's own fluff


"Belly button lint collection wins place in record books"

The Australian librarian started “harvesting” his fluff in 1984, at a youth hostel in Brisbane. After 26 years, the complete collection now weighs 22.1 grams, or .77 ounces… Barker sold three of his jars to a museum for an undisclosed sum and is a quarter of the way to filling a fourth.

Can't Stop Till You Snoot It Up




This post exists only so I could re-use the label "An Average Walrus"

Spanish Devo




"Aviador Dro [short for El Aviador Dro y sus Obreros Especializados] formed in Madrid in 1979 & might best be described as Spain's answer to Devo. They were an essential part of the Movida MadrileƱa movment, Madrid's version of new wave, & were involved with theater, politics & even a sinister satanic synth side project called Los Iniciados [immediately forthcoming]."

Dirty Little Doggies


I know this is cloyingly adorable, but it is also both creepy and curiously arousing... Can this dance be anything but a prelude to copulation? Is it wrong to be sexually attracted to an animal if it dances like a human?

Slums, Percussion Instruments, Caves


(trying to get Troll's hideous image farther down on the page!)

He was also frightened of invertebrates, marine life in general, temperatures below freezing, fat people, people of other races, race-mixing, slums, percussion instruments, caves, cellars, old age, great expanses of time, monumental architecture, non-Euclidean geometry, deserts, oceans, rats, dogs, the New England countryside, New York City, fungi and molds, viscous substances, medical experiments, dreams, brittle textures, gelatinous textures, the color gray, plant life of diverse sorts, memory lapses, old books, heredity, mists, gases, whistling, whispering—the things that did not frighten him would probably make a shorter list.

The Irresistible Ass Tulip




My pig research has borne fruit:

"It is not uncommon to find blood in a pen and around the mouths of pigs but with no obvious prolapse in any other animals, i.e. the prolapse will have been completely chewed off."

And then there is this...


CASE REPORTS

Pig Bite of Prolapsed Rectum in a Child

By A.N. Gangopadhyay, D.K. Gupta, Amit Dhulkotia, Ashwin V. Apte, and S.P. Sharma

Varanasi, India

STRAY PIGS are a menace in rural areas of poor countries in which pig rearing is a common occupation. However, pig bites to humans are rare, and a bite to the perineum has not been reported. A very unusual incident in which a pig bit a prolapsed rectum while the child was defecating is being reported.

Tampon Scribe

My first use of Google Scribe which "autocompletes suggestions as you type" (like their magic search box):

"Taxidermy in the Garden of Eden was not going to change anything."

Oh, the days of my life I will spend with this tool...

Don't talk to sociologists

Perhaps it is only in lovemaking that there is interaction between unmediated human bodies -- though even here the extra-somatic usually plays a role too.

Here I imagine that reference is being made to this--and I shudder.

Poo-Say




You can't quite read it under the band name (Poussez), but the album cover helpfully and subtly includes the pronunciation "Poo-Say."
