Friday Ephemera (723)
She would make love to them, selflessly. || Solemn oath, precious memories. || Cower in FEAR – the LASER is here, 1962. || Incoming. || She makes it work. || Incriminating stains. || Suspense. || Secret revealed. || Dating in Sardinia, 1964. || Blushing bride not blushing enough. || Some clenching of the buttocks. || Hey, it’s better than your cheap-ass robot horse. || Heroic rescue attempted. || Tidy is good. Alternatively. || “Yeet the mammary meat,” they cheered. || It’s his lemon dress. || Locals displeased by nude cyclists, altercation ensues. || Terry’s Chocolate Apple. || The thrill of pigeons. || The progressive retail experience, parts 551, 552, and 553. || “I’m parking right now.” || Parenting test, level 10. || Guatemalan action figure. || Retro-futurism. || And finally, no, after you.

My God, I think we’ve found the voice that Monty Python satirized in so many MPFS sketches. 😮
Solemn oath, precious memories.
Holy carp – was that the minister/officiant barfing??
Phrasing, dude.
“A one woman show featuring fewer than one woman”
“Yeet the mammary meat,” they cheered.
I hope the fat chick with the bad haircut holding the cake isn’t the post-op “guy” being celebrated. I’d say she needs to get her money back, but I’m guessing the double mastectomy was performed, which is what she paid for. She was sold manhood I’m guessing, but that’s not what she got. Sad.
Will this be the trigger for the next Anglo-American war?
How did we get to this? A dearth of smiting.
Extremely insufficient smiting.
I vividly remember the voice, but not the specific sketches.

The camel has a lot of fun
His night’s complete when he is done
For he always has two humps for one
As he revels in the joys of fornication.
Sasquatch is trans?
When you flout the rules don’t be surprised when others do.
I insist.
Doritos gloryhole.
The Precious Moments guy died this week. I just thought I’d mention that.
Makes perfectly good sense to me.
What IS that accent?
Still laughing.
“Hey, it’s better than your cheap-ass robot horse. “
Wonder if it’s been programmed to bite tourists like a Horse Guard’s mount?
Morning, all.
Somehow, inexcusably, I hadn’t seen that one.
Mr Whicker’s accent was a thing of wonder even at the time. I think he was born in Cairo, yet he sounds almost… Australian?
Indeed. And not wishing your children to be exposed, in the street, to the genitals of weird men is not an entirely outrageous position.
But as we’ve seen, nudism activists will generally find some way to invoke victimhood while imposing themselves on others, including, deliberately, small children.
Heroic rescue attempted.
All this new fangled shit on cars can go to hell.
Locals displeased by nude cyclists, altercation ensues.
Good locals.

Ah, but hiding things from parents is very much in fashion among educators. Even to the extent of inventing and distributing a fake curriculum, so as to deter any parental curiosity about the actual curriculum.
And all while insisting, “This is not being deceitful.”
This is who they are. Our glorious betters.

The sexual habits of the camel,
Are stranger than anyone thinks,
And in moonlit nights in the desert,
He tries to bugger the Sphinx,
But the Sphinx’s anal sphincter,
Is clogged by the sands of the Nile,
Which accounts for the hump on the camel,
And the Sphinx’s inscrutable smile
One more time.
Moar banter twix JKR and a parody account.
Oh God, it’s even worse with sound on. But I love how the bride just powers on through. Nothing’s stopping her wedding!
It’s quite… evocative. Vividly so. And loud.
Yes, she’s a hardcore bride. She clearly means business.
And I think every wedding should have at least one mortifying moment. I mean, it’s practically a tradition.
A while ago, we attended a niece’s wedding, an upscale production-number held in a fancy country house, complete with serving staff and a string quartet, and with a very nervous bride-to-be. Much drama about dresses, hair, seating, and a million other things. Seconds before the vows, the hushed proceedings were enlivened by my somewhat deaf father-in-law’s very loud and scandalously inappropriate ringtone.
The temporary embarrassment, while no doubt acute, later resulted in much laughter and bonding with the new members of the tribe.

Re your comment in previous thread, I’ve updated the post.
I want to see the Midjourney prompt that generated that.
Emotional rollercoaster.
*wince*
it’s the woman below in teal with the teal backpack that was really giving me angst.
Maybe she’s realising that once she gets to the top, at that point quite tired and perhaps with shaky legs, she’ll then have to climb back down again. Which, if anything, seems riskier.
“If you put a pigeon on a treadmill…”
David, thank you for putting a name on that voice. And thus allowing me to track him down and find the Monty Python sketch that satirized his style.
Yes, born in Cairo.
Whicker’s World ran for almost 25 years, so I can see how he could have made such a cultural impression.
I recall the series vaguely but quite fondly. I’m guessing he was the prototype of the feigned ingénue persona, at least while interviewing the various eccentrics he encountered on his travels.
Yes, I pray she did turn back. And that as well, but that backpack which will put her center of gravity further from the wall which is most disconcerting. It looks like she spins it around to her front side before turning back, but the video ends there.
I laughed at this way more than I should have:

Helen would like to say hi.
Helen would like to say hi
That genuinely looks like Les Dawson in drag.
For those too shy to click the link.
No, don’t thank me. All part of the service.
That’s an argument for supplying children with slingshots and ball bearings.
The fine dining experience.
Trailer hitches are new fangled?
More joys of public transport.
But remember, you should want to live “closer to all kinds of different people.”
