Scenes. || Some optimistic ladies. || A mercifully brief history of dial-up modem handshakes. || Today’s words are job satisfaction. || On the thrill of bollards. || Sudden-onset sidewaysness. || All things considered, it was not a great date. || In case there were any doubt as to the kind of creature she is. || Whatever is to hand. || Xerox Hell, in which you ruin photos. || Now is not the best time. || Bear maintenance. || Moon suit, 1960. || Nostrils of Aquachap. || Nuff cuffs. || Incoming. || Incoming 2. || Question asked. || The situation did not improve. || On imitating pigs for fun and profit. || The progressive retail experience, parts 751, 752, 753 and 754. || Proles at home, 1962. || Unsuccessful product, 1982. || Astronaut training. || African snow. || Fearsome beast. || Oh, and meanwhile, in the woods.

Blind taste test. || Lateral motion surplus. || Suboptimal scenario. || More magic cardboard. Previously. (h/t, Stephanie) || Adhesion detected. || The H-Man, 1958. Is there nothing atomic radiation can’t do? | Seeing, doing finger-math. (h/t, Tacky Raccoons) || Note to self. || The strange, grim tale of Britain’s “Hannibal the Cannibal.” (h/t, Neatorama) || Another day at the office. || Roadside ladies. || At last, cheating sneakers. || A critique of Nolan’s The Odyssey. Includes the words “boringly modern.” || Does yours do this? And should you be tempted. || Some punching required. || The progressive retail experience, parts 748, 749 and 750. || “First of all, those are not my pronouns.” || Complications multiply. || Sweaty pleasures. || On Mancini. || Not Marmite. || Things foreseen, and unforeseen.

Modern problems. || They’re behind you. || Do you want to buy a belt? || King of the combover. || Life in a one-loo village, 1970. || An archive of tangible media, from magnets and grooves to coatings and pins. (h/t, Things) || An archive of punch cards. || An archive of vintage cycling publications. || Not in fact harmless, it turns out. || Just call him Daddy. || I’m sure more drag-themed programming will fix that in no time. || Nuts. || Got milk? || Gentlemen callers. || Incoming. || Help incoming. || Answers on a postcard, please. || A three-way interspecies negotiation. || The progressive retail experience, parts 745, 746 and 747. || The thrill of physics. || At last, drag-queen rugby. || A situation is reported. || Diversity has occurred. || At those elegant snuff parties, your nostrils will be revitalised.

You want one and you know it. || Why dogs don’t rule the Earth. || Frog washing scenes. || For ladies so inclined. || Not toilets, it turned out. || Mortal remains. || Mighty tash deployed. || Have you dried yours? || Some diversity occurred. || His rights, you hear. (Rights not specified.) || Scenes from Hemlock Drive. || Hopkins and Foster rewatch Silence of the Lambs. || Blowing bubbles from below, as you do. || His is bigger, and by some margin. || Obstruction detected, removed. || Secret revealed. || Incoming. || On Kubrick’s many takes, a belated and not implausible explanation. || Odd couple. Place your bets. || Pole dancing. || Pole dancing 2. || The progressive retail experience, parts 743 and 744. || Roadside assistance. || Not nailed down. || I’m guessing the relationship was not a success.
