Judges To The Rescue!

Image
Tobacco, sugar, and smiling are all prohibited in Megahutch-One.  Anyone enjoying themselves in any way is up to something, without a doubt... without a doubt .  Judges Bun, Stompy, and Thumper are the front line against scofflaws and ne'er do wells, and it looks like these vicious felons will have plenty of opportunity to reflect upon their sins.  Hospital stays do not count as time served.

Real English Wine - A Scarfolk Advertisement

Image
The government strongly promoted the ‘Buy British’ message in the 1970s. It was so keen to prove the scientific superiority of British products that large-scale experiments were commissioned. Scarfolk University, for example, was given four million pounds to develop a computer that could record the brainwaves of hundreds of Real English Wine drinkers and then convert those brainwaves into sounds and images. Scientists (and advertising agency executives who planned to exploit the results) predicted the result would produce “a wide variety of positive images, including majestic British landscapes accompanied by the sounds of waves and music as beautiful as anything written by maestros such Sir Edward Elgar or Cliff Richard”. In actual fact, all the subjects’ brains produced exactly the same image: An electrified cage containing a baby monkey whose mind had been destroyed by medical experiments, systematic torture and the jarring sound of a toy mechanical bear merciless

Afternoon With Miss Kathy

  https://youtu.be/jupxS8KySNA This fantastically well done retro kid's show is from the fourth season of Goliath.  In this season Billy Bob Thornton is pursuing a lawsuit against a heartless mega corporation that has caused over 200,000 deaths with their pain killers.  Billy plays an extremely good attorney who drinks quite a bit.  I am posting this here because the cat puppet is so funny.  Goliath is as dark as anything ever put on television and the corporate villains will kill to protect their legal dope pushing. Naturally, there is no parallel between the TV show and the makers of the poison Oxycontin that ruined so many lives and cost the Sackler family 6 billion dollars of the 10.7 billion they made off of Oxy.  American justice marches on!  

Cutout Cowboy

I left work Friday and drove over to Heifers N' Bulls for a drink.  I parked my old Toyota out back, that way the cops don't take note of me leaving and when.  It had been a tough day sacking groceries, and I just couldn't deal with the missus and the kids.  I got my hat off the back seat and went into the bar, Junior Brown was on the jukebox and Larry behind the bar had a beer and a shot waiting for me.  I was in hock up to my ears at the money store and the car needed a new transmission, but that could wait.  It was payday and I needed a little R & R.  I was wearing tennis shoes 'cause my feet hurt and I can't dance nohow.  I talked with the guys I know and a few women I didn't, they were all snooty bitches and just walked away.  Back in high school they would have loved to make it with the second string winning quarterback but now I guess they can smell broke a mile away.  About midnight I called home but whoever answered hung up on me, I sai

Bandit, Tinker, and Pirate are a dog, cat, and rabbit stolen from their loving owners and hardwired into robot armor in order to produce the ultimate assassination team.  Now their deaths have been decreed as a new bioweapon is ready for deployment.  This 2004 Vertigo masterpiece was written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Frank Quitely.  The link below is the entire 3 issue run.  The story depicts raw violence, cruelty to animals and humans, heartless government operatives, self serving politicians, and evil scientists.  Innocent bystanders get slaughtered.  You've been warned.   https://readallcomics.com/we3-01-of-03-2004/ Strap in.    

In Which I Am Goaded Into Elagaics

Image
Our vorpal swords will go to rust As we like all flesh turn to dust But Excelsior! our spirits rise Into the vast ethereal skies.   https://www.deviantart.com/chaosfive-55 Response- No need to fear return to dust, As the motto states, In God We Trust. Life is both stern yet Rabelaisian, It hones our souls in preparation For that time when we end our days And move into a higher phase. Each journey through each open portal Doth teach us how to be immortal. This twisted, uphill path we trod Is just to make us fit for God. Therefore- Forget the words, both prose and rhyming Put down that pen and start a'climbing! Classic Folie à deux.     Jacob's Dream, header picture, by William Blake, 1805.

Rabbits, Nightclubs, And Smoke

Image
Le Lapin Agile by André Gille, 1875.  The Agile Rabbit is a popular cabaret in Monmartre. Le Lapin cigarette papers.  The rabbit is wearing a pouch that reads 'Duke Paper'.  There was a Duke tobacco considered very good for rolling, known as Duke's Mixture.  It is now the American Tobacco Company and I doubt that is what this poster is referring to. Perhaps Willie Shoemaker, I really have no idea. Smart rabbits don't smoke tobacco anyway.  Rabbit Hash is a town in Kentucky, and refers to a time when rabbits were all that could be found to eat following a flood.  Since 1879. Yeah, right.   We know what Rabbit Hash is, and it ain't some town in Kentucky.   The French rabbit ads were sent to me by that superior artist- https://www.deviantart.com/bogatyrkhan

Frozen Wasteland

Image
Near Clear Lake, Iowa.  In this photo the pilot, Roger Peterson, is still in the plane.  Jiles Perry Richardson is lying on the other side of the fence, Buddy Holly and Richie Valens are equidistant behind the plane to our right.  The plane took off from Mason City at 12:22 AM on Feb. 3rd 1959, headed for Fargo.  It crashed less than six miles NW of the Mason City airport.  Peterson was not instrument rated and the Sperry Attitude Gyroscope would have displayed the plane's pitch in the opposite manner from what he had used on other aircraft.  The Beechcraft Bonanza hit the field at 170 miles an hour.  The people on board probably died unaware and instantly.  All evidence indicates that the pilot thought he was climbing and turning.  The company, Dwyer Flying Service, was only licensed to operate under completely visual conditions.  The weather briefings Peterson received did not mention the increasingly unfavorable developments along the proposed route.  He
