Friday Ephemera (833)
At last, lollipops that play rap music through your teeth. || At least it does that. || Coin-operated elevators. || Competitive window tinting. || I guess we’ll never know. || While you’re at it, mate. || “My WiFi cuts out when I experience powerful emotions.” || Today’s word is parenting. || Place in food chain negotiation. || For reasons not entirely clear, people with low sex drive demand visibility. || A head of the sexuals. || How to get shot. || Working in a “self-service” shop, 1961. || I’m afraid the unsee button is out of order. || And lo, a mighty roar. || Enjoying the moment. || Brief intermission. || It’s a take. || At last, your very own Star Trek casserole dish and matching communi-grater. || Facial. || How to make fire. || The making of Flash Gordon, 1980. || And finally, scenes of interspecies fondling.

We should establish a reservation for such people. #ChangeMyMind
Make a film more Jewish.
Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!
Electronic ipecac.
Is this one of those blue & black / white & gold dress things?
My little fricassée.
Temple Emmanuelle.
I saw it, then my eyes corrected, and I couldn’t re-see it again.
In a nutshell.
Call it Lebbroso Ovest.
Sounds more like a means of gathering additional movement tracking data.
Look-alike contest.
A precarious position.
“Today’s word is parenting.”
That cop had far too much patience wither her!
From the comments:
Except it’s not silly at this point. It’s a huge drag on society. It should be treated like the malicious manipulation of the system it is.
“How to get shot.”
He actually did the mene, bringing a cleaver to a gunfight.
Richard Dreyfus already maxed out that meter.
Why is the woman taking her trousers off?
Holy crap, this is NOT parody!
Morning, all.
On pocket money, 1974.
Your dream employee.
Because all those “adjustments” that you have to make “aren’t a one-time conversation.”
But they are attracted to flags and attention.
Heh. Yes. So, how, exactly, does one become a “flaming asexual”? A lack of interest in sex would scarcely seem to require round-the-clock campaigning or special favours. It’s a bit like, “I’m not very interested in sport or fashion.” “Goodness, you’re so brave. Here’s a badge.”
Previously in the world of “asexual activism,” a scholar announces her new position.
Choices were made.
When the AI tech revolution hits computer programmers too frail to work in coal mines and too scared to do roofing…. and if you have allergies landscaping is out…
Thank you, that was quite lovely and gave me a moment of toe-tapping.
It’s cute. To be clear, there are overdubs – it’s not all live. But the bass part and the percussion sounds are all produced by kalimbas too.
By not getting laid. They keep saying identity is on a spectrum and it is – that spectrum of time when you’re lucky and when you’re not. I’m guessing if Flame Boy there actually met someone who were willing to drop her pants or lift his skirt, suddenly he identifies with whatever the hookup is occurring.
But never if its strictly heterosexual. There’s no “awareness” campaign in that to divert all attention to oneself.
SHOW ME YOUR GAME FACE, RECRUIT!
All my
milkshakesengines bring the boys to the yard.Christmas is coming and if anyone needs a suggestion for me . . .
?
Yes. Although “Torah! Torah! Torah!” is great. (I first saw that play on words in a cartoon of Menachem Begin in the cockpit of a fighter-bomber. Even back then there were lots of liberals who hated the idea of Jews killing those who tried to kill them.) And Upper West Side Story made me smile.
“communi-grater”?

Remember how Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd transformed the meaning of “Nimrod” from “mighty hunter” to “fool”?
Blacks are causing a similar reversal in the the meaning of “scholar”.
Temple Emanu-El + Emmanuelle
Skinemax films with a protagonist of the same name.
Well, gosh darn, would you look at that – it’s sold out.
Think their luck’s soured.
Or, where pretending gets you.
Spare the rod …
Oh my, I’d forgotten about that movie. Written, if I recall correctly, by a French women who was an advocate for radical “free love”. I wonder if she lived long enough to realize how wrong she was.
“Thankfully, defendant survived” said no sensible person ever.
[ Looks around for Muldoon. ]
Definitely a guilty pleasure (plus Ornella Muti).
The solace of quantum.

Also, “whorish artifice”, band name or album title?
I remember being taken to see Flash Gordon as a wee seedling. In fact, I think someone bought me the soundtrack album – on cassette, I believe. In many respects, it’s a terrible film and, on paper, has no business being as entertaining as it is. It’s not unlike The Fifth Element, I think. In that, it should stink to high heaven, yet over the years I must’ve seen it three times.
“Look. Water is leaking from her eyes.”
Dr Prescod-Weinstein, our mouther of bollocks, has been mentioned here before.
Reminding us that the hard sciences are not free of frauds and lunatics.
