Economic commentary: Bottoming

Really, Internet? Bottoming is a (messy) process and not an event?!

As usual Titus Rochelle has done it again.

Proof that the French are every bit as perverted as we suspect

Again with thanks to R. for sharing. Sorry about the trauma of discovery, though.

Pondering imponderables

Yes, let's hope so...

(Thanks and godspeed to R.)

Finngerd redux: once more with latex

Art lately tends to remind me of the streets of Philadelphia. (I think that would be a Bruce Springsteen song if he weren't so afraid of pissing off the common man.)

Summertime: Chillin outside in the dope jeep

Happy belated first day of summertime, from 2 Hyped Brothers & A Dog:

Like they're fronted by a singing moose

From Mutant Sounds: "Dag Erik Asbjornsen described this extraordinary acid rock/proto prog crew in Scented Garden's Of The Mind as sounding 'like they're fronted by a singing moose.'"

The suspense is killing me as I hope it is you.

Naturally, that's (Tom of) Finland Correspondent. Thank god I have tenure.

Oh bondage up yours!

RIP Poly Styrene, 1957-2011.

Solar Boat Sighting

"The pharaohs, like the moth among the arc lights, had been entranced by the flaming journey of the sun. Some had even constructed, hopefully, their own solar boats. Perhaps, I thought, those boats symbolized the frail vessel of which Plato was later to speak--that vessel on which to risk the voyage of life, or, rather, eternity, which was inevitably man's compulsive interest." -- Loren Eiseley channeling Ray Manzarek

Dissolving children

Light is rather low so the photo's grainy but in person this was amazing.

For Delphina. Come visit so we can hunt for more of my neighbors' photographic detritus.

I am for some reason obsessed with the liberation struggles of pickles, tampons, and teabags...

Definition: A task that yields nothing.

Stormy apologizes for his two month hiatus (Stormy now talks about himself in the third person), and attempts to make amends with a Bashful Sloth by Comte de Buffon.

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!

Avoid Pickups!

Captain Hack; [World War 2?]

Is "Captain Hack" like a parallel universe Uncle Sam?

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 Baños 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.

"COCKZILLA is the word"

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.
