Recreated from an actual photo.

I look just like this. Honest.

Great for exhibitionists . . .

. . . not so great for those with "stage fright."

This got me wondering . . .

Before the advent of blogs, which give everyday people the opportunity to show off their bizarre behavior to the entire internet, did people do weird stuff like installing big-ass inflatable swimming pools in their living rooms and filling them with water?

They Sure Don't Build 'Em Like They Used To

If you really want to travel the highways in style, there is no substitute for the 1952 Executive Flagship.


From an article describing this land leviathan in the Feb. 1953 issue of Popular Science Magazine:

It weighs 18 tons, rolls on 10 wheels, sleeps six, and not only has a portable swimming pool with diving board but is complete with kitchen, two bathrooms, a seven-foot bird’s eye maple bar, two refrigerators, wall-to-wall carpeting, radio-phonograph, 21-inch TV, movie screen, indirect lighting, wine cellar, air conditioning, intercom, radiotelephone, “pooch porch” for the dog, and three elephant guns in case you have to shoot your way through a herd of pachyderms on the Lincoln Highway.

And if this isn’t enough for you, the upper sun deck can be used to board your private helicopter.

Golden Globe Awards

Contrary to the evidence in this photo, the Golden Globe Awards apparently have something to do with movies and acting.

L'enfer, c'est les autres.

Beelzebub has a devil narrow-minded, anal-retentive, letter-of-the-law bureaucrat put aside for me.

Down with stereotypes!

I generally don't find humor that relies on stereotypes to be too amusing, but I must admit this blonde joke made me chuckle.

It's better this way.

Some guy has created a website that creates a three-panel Garfield strip by randomly choosing three panels from archive. Much better than the original. Hell, I'll bet even "Prince Valiant" would be enjoyable given a similar treatment.

Pat the Bunny

Isn't the Internet wonderful? There's a site where you can download a free videogame featuring a cute bunny that apparently responds to your attention the way a woman would. That is, if a woman's anatomy were represented by a bunny. "A magical pet adventure...and stealthy primer on female sexual pleasure."
