Friday Ephemera
Attention fitness enthusiasts, the Tug Toner has arrived. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) // Man mistakes moon for UFO. // Levitating lampshade. // Apartment block of note. // It’s a decommissioned nuclear bunker, it’s a luxury home. // Clouds, lots of clouds. // Criminal penguins. // Assorted ceramic dildos. (h/t, Phil Radmall) // Don’t stop ‘til you see smoke. // Smoke like this. // “Spiders, as it happens, can often be identified by their genitalia.” // Just bacon. // Vegas, ’62. (h/t, EBD) // The guardian of the hole. (h/t, Julia) // Great questions of our time, #621. // Here’s something else not everyone can do. // And beware the big bad wolf.
Re The Big Bad Wolf…That’s…ummm…I…uhh…what…why…yeah but no no no no…the bearded lady…where…disturbing…how…See, I was half-watching this Doris Day movie and now I feel dirty…I think…I don’t wanna think…that should come with a warning…but what kind?…what for?…have I now seen everything?…Could there possibly be more?…Not sure I wanna know…
And beware the big bad wolf.
I kept going ‘ew’ but I still had to watch it to the end.
I think the tug toner is scarier.
And Alexander Vasudevan rears his head in the ‘Guardian’ once more:
“…squatters have assembled (often quite literally) a genuine alternative to a failed pro-market model of housing driven by profiteering and speculation.”
In the same way burglars have ‘assembled a genuine alternative’ to buying stuff with their own money, I guess?
David (and Julia),
“Your alternative lifestyle comes out of somebody else’s pocket.”
I miss the Rockford Files…
And beware the big bad wolf.
mrsmadden is laughing and sending it to her friends.
“Your alternative lifestyle comes out of somebody else’s pocket.”
I haven’t seen The Rockford Files since I was a gangly teenager and can’t recall specific episodes, but I feel a residual warmth towards it. May have to search it out as comfort TV.
I remember the theme music, it was great!
@JuliaM,
MYself and Mark W would disagree with both the squatters and the (anti-capitalist) mainstream home-onwnerists.
re: A YOUNG BOY IN GHANA
I went to a Reduced Shakespeare Company performance many years ago. A strange bald chap – looking very similar to an occasional character in the X-Files* – played the 1812 overture finale** on his throat in just such a manner.
Freaked me out, but I was quite glad not to be brought on stage for public humiliation as was the fate of some hapless audience members
* no I don’t mean the eponymous Skinner, I mean him
** could have been the tune from the William Tell overture, actually
Here’s one. The electric multicopter…
