I love this project.

Oh like Joan of Arc would give up her religion

That is A-MA-ZING

@snarkout we talked about Joan of Arc for a second!

@waa she's so sweeeeet

I've enjoyed her online. Also I got a fake Jane kicked off of facebook.

Did you tell her she's my favorite Go-Go?

You've been kicked in the nuts!

You're the man now, dog

I'm low-key obsessed with this photo.

Yeah amazing shot. The symmetry is lovely and the water is as still as glass.

@drurystephanie, @poorusher

Thank you!

I do not.

I hope your meeting in meatspace is incredible.

Definitely. Mostly when I see old pics or read about smoking in books.
At least once a month, I have to remind myself of all the reasons why I'll never touch a cigarette again. Hopefully.

I haven't smoked in almost 27 years (New Year's Eve 1999!), but whenever I see someone light up on screen, I kinda miss it. Then I remember the stench, the expense, the bronchitis, the . . .

@jasperzelf @Lockjaw I have smoked three cigarettes in the last six years. They were quite wonderful. But I’m so done with it that I can resist the calll.

@ba I’ll try to give an update from meat space! Thx!

Never smoked, aside from trying once or twice.

Coffee, though. I would re-enact my passion for that if I could. I don't think any substance had its hooks in me like coffee did.

I smoked from 13-40. when I finally quit (~20 years ago). It was very final. I have no hatred of smoking or urge to smoke. But I do often wake up and realize I was csually smoking in my dreams.

I used to love cigarettes. Occasionally I miss them. Sometimes I think of them with a slight fondness and the thought of them being back into my life briefly appears and is immediately clobbered by the rush of memories of -needing- cigarettes, and the smell, and the expenses, and the tiny ways all of my life was arranged around how when and where my next cigarette would happen. The burden of the weight of addiction and the slow destruction of my health.

Cigarettes are some good memories and no chance of having a future in my life because of the lessons learned.

It's a lot like my ex-wife.

I value your effort. But that’s a long shot at best.

It's exhausting xo

First like? ya still got it, Art!

"Try my delicious lemon and kale smoothie!"

"Gee this wireless, battery-powered vcr works swell!"

That's a photo taped to the TV and he's still waiting for it to move.

An excellent example of life giving you lemons so time to whip up a batch of lemonade.

I love this so much.

The absolute best costume! And what an electric personality she must have!

This rules!

EAT SHIT, CANCER!

Living like an Addams is the way to go in any situation.

this is how pervasive he's become

when you turn 48, you have completed your 48th year

I have a great idea for a birthday present...

Sorry your name only got removed from one spot and not both, Brock Lindsay.

@samh oops, that's my fault!

A skull with a fez?
:-)

@joost Ain't never gonna die it without the fez on.

are you flicking us the Vees?

@scruss yes (see alt tag). I also never know what to call it apart from two -ingered salute. Seem to recall people also saying a French salute?

Oh, Up Yours I guess.

@poorusher It's confusing because some people do the peace sign that way. It's also almost totally aged out.

I think the French salute is an Agincourt reference, but possibly apocryphal

😭😭😭

just took down the halloween decor and ima be got-DAMNED if i do a thing about Xmas before November is over. there’s thanksgiving PIES to be made, man.

I'd like to decorate for Thanksgiving and do more than just have a meal, but there are so very very few Thanksgiving decorations. There is just no room on the store shelves or in people's budgets between Halloween and Christmas for Thanksgiving accessories.

The big rooster poking its beak in there as well I see 😏

We're going to need to get some measurements from his counterpart in Wagin to see who's boss.

Hey, Rambo!

I read recently that Aussie lamb prices were skyrocketing because many farmers had reduced or eliminated herds due to a national trend towards chicken. A friend in Toowoomba said “Everything’s fucked” and I agreed.

@not_copinghagen Rambo has about 6m on Wagin’s Baart. Rambo was built as a structure you can go inside, while Baart is a statue you can walk under, which means Baart wins at least one measuring competition. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places...

Rambo looking a little less crowded: https://mltshp.com/p/1ODOT

Thank ewe!

Walk under??? eeewwwwww

@bezt Thank you for your service. I was going to break out the tape measure...

We get it. No need to ram it down our throats.

I keed. Ewe get my drift.

@not_copinghagen @bezt @roonie yes but is Rambo as anatomically incorrect as Wagin? https://flic.kr/p/QNWEr4

“Former”

"Blair"

"Master"

I love Li'l Hat Cowboy.

Oh my!

But, what does it mean?

@0y3ahSansAcut3 It's like having a browser tab open on your phone, but it's an app!

That’s neat!

excellent

Serious Pompeii vibe here.

I think the word I'm looking for is *squee!*

What a great note.
I don't know about the context but as a dad myself I totally understand the feeling.

💛🧡❤️🩷💚🩵💙💜

That’s beautiful!

I recently found out that my date kept and annotated the first drawing I gave to him. It was terrible, so he made careful notes about what it was for posterity. He said it was one of his most prized possessions. Prior to that moment I wasn’t totally sure that he loved me, so it was like going from 0 to 60 in one sentence.

@vosechu : thanks for sharing that!

hogless Alf, smdh

@joshmillard he's a grower not a shower

@joshmillard my first thought was: needs more hog

@joost I grew up on the Bonzos (the perks of having a brother who is ten years older), but I wonder if anybody here knows them.

@waa I guess I was too young

@waa I was too young for them and they didn't really reach my part of the US at all, so I wasn't seeing them in the bins of the used record shops I would haunt in my teens. First time I heard "The Intro & The Outro" was on the radio, I can't even remember when or where, and I knew right away they were great.

I only learned about them when someone forwarded a clip of Craig Ferguson lip syncing to this classic https://mltshp.com/p/1RYCS

@joost @bocaj It's a bit of an acquired taste, but give them a try. They're written down as a bit of a novelty/gimmick/cover band but that is hugely unjust. My advice: start off with The Doughnut In Granny's Greenhouse. Not even my favourite but quite accessible, and it gives a good impression of what they could do. Don't skip 'Rhinocratic Oaths':

Mrs. Betty Pench was playing the trombone when she heard a knock on the door
"I wonder who that is at eleven o'clock in the morning", she thought
But cautiously opened the door and instead of the turbaned ruffian she had expected
She found a very nice young man
Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest
"Would you like a triumph spitfire or three thousand in cash?", He smile
Mrs. Pench took the money
"What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business" he giggled
"I think I'll become an alcoholic" said Betty

I was low key obsessed as a sixth-former (late 80's). My buddy, Jason, loved the Bonzos.

He even taught himself how to play skiffle on acoustic guitar and then would pretend to smash it up at the end.

I had a roommate in the 90's who had them in his vinyl collection

Also The Intro and the Outro

Fun fact: You could work harder than anyone has ever worked every day for the rest of your life and still earn less money than a guy who got lucky one time.

misses a lot of bad electronica, goth, punk/alternative from the 80s, and maybe should have something from 'the knife' rather than the orb.

That's my exact fetish!

It insists upon itself.

I gotta hand it to her

She never fails to deliver

She just might be my favorite part of Halloween. I can't get over how freaky it looks when she looks around, too!

Oh Mr. Weatherbee

I lived in the Haight for, like, 18 years. Can confirm.
