Friday Ephemera (676)
You want one and you know it. || When the neighbours drop by. || Visitors of a different kind. || Dating decisions. || I gather this is what goes on in ladies’ fitting rooms. || A suitably ill-tempered guide to the Russian Revolution and its consequences – part 1, part 2, part 3. || Just like the knights of old. || Buffet nibbles. || His clicky nails. || Skillz. || It comes with a curing kit. || “Can I get it Tuesday?” she asked. Full video here. (h/t, pst314) || Disco clam. || Dance moves. || Martian wheels, stretchy metal. (h/t, Elephants Gerald) || Emotional journey. || Mystery solved. || Control panel of note. || The progressive retail experience, parts 472, 473, and 474. || A project for the weekend. || How to feel old. || Insufficiently aloft. || Indoor bees. || And finally, today’s word is subgenre.

The unspanked, as our host would say.
Well, indeed. We do seem to be witnessing an upsurge in such provocations, and almost always from the same kinds of people with the same kinds of views – an eerie uniformity. And so, Narcissistic Glitter Bint can invade someone’s personal space and shower them, and their children, with some substance – in this case, glitter – and do it repeatedly, against their wishes, while saying, rather triumphantly, “I’m not touching him.”
The dynamic is basically, “You, unlike me, have some self-restraint, therefore I shall test it and see how far I can go.” It’s the psychology of a child unaccustomed to consequences.
For those who missed it, The Unspanked.
I think we’ll give that one a post of its own.
Harry’s hurried visit to London… in 60 seconds
Gosh! Was it that long?
Was there supposed to be a link? Maybe to this?
