Friday Ephemera
Magic words. // Assorted dicey moments, illustrated. // Japanese log relocation. It’s a vigorous business. // Vitruvian man action figure. // Voltige, a cautionary tale. // At last, Star Trek: The Next Generation swimsuits. // We’ll be seeing more of this, I think. // Not thinking things through, I fear. // Animations of note. // American shopping malls circa 1989. // This. // That. // The other. // Post-It notes and beer. // Mechanical Pong. // “The stench started masking the smell of their popular hickory-smoked ham.” (h/t, Ace) // Yes, apparently, it does happen. // Made of sand. // Done with suction. Crime-fighting applications under consideration. // Something is licking his tent. // This is one of these. // And finally, via Damian, some cat comradeship.
Regarding the two volume set, “The [No Spoilers]” mentioned, sadly, I found it quite derivative of another work published ten years ago by a then-six year old, which work contained the memorable line, “and then she went poo.” It was also illustrated by the author’s mischievous older brother.
I’m possession of the original, signed by the author, it having been bestowed upon me with much pomp by a certain first grade teacher during a particularly lively discussion about academic achievement.
The dicey moments were interesting. Good art, though often disturbing (the kids being smashed against the gate was unpleasant). Then I read the comment by “Chaos” who was so delighted about the girl throwing the guy down the stairs: “it really sticks it to the patriarchy!”
Will no one rid me of these meddlesome, virtue-signalling SJWs?
Regarding fart-man, I wonder what he ate?
And can vacuum-girl, who has demonstrated an impressive control of a staple household cleaning device, also know how to make a good sandwich?
As always, all very entertaining.
I don’t recall whether it’s been featured in these pages previously, but the cinematic masterpiece Kung Fury can now be seen in all it’s 80s-inspired, low-res glory.
“And DOES vacuum-girl”…read twice, post once!

Morning, all.
Don’t try this at home.
When it’s felt necessary to have riot police on campus, to protect visitors and discourage violence and thuggery by your own students, maybe it’s time to rethink your university’s apparently neglected discipline policy, and your student intake, and possibly parts of the curriculum.
Not thinking things through, I fear.
Oh, sooner or later someone will get the point . . . several times over.

Imagine my surprise. I’m sure their parents are terribly proud.
“Angela” is the girl in the skeleton costume. I am fairly sure that most of her lifestyle is driven by a childish rebellion against her parents’ expectations. What I’ve found so interesting about this past few months is that despite knowing about all this “arts” bullshit – largely thanks to your efforts in exposing it so regularly – I’d never actually met anyone involved in it and gotten to know them properly. I fear these people are *exactly* as you imagine them in person.

The ones I’ve met have tended to be from fairly uniform socio-economic backgrounds and of an even more uniform psychological type. And the obligatory leftism has always sounded like an excuse.

I don’t think I even need to click on the link. It’s Milo again, isn’t it?

That’s interesting, actually. Maybe I should have stuck around long enough to meet some of her New York friends. In hindsight I wish I’d kept my mouth shut and gone undercover for a while, I’m sure I would have gotten enough material to write a book and retire. She did once tell me that the great thing about Burning Man was the diversity of the people there, with everyone from hippies to corporate lawyers represented. I asked how many of them were openly Republican. Silence.
