Alexander Khokhlov is a Russian photographer who loves to use the human face as his canvas for creating graphic, black and white face painting with makeup. From the WiFi icon to the pop icon Mickey Mouse or a QRcode across his model’s faces, Khokhlov’s project is quite interesting. Rather than relying on canvas, paper, or any other synthetic material, Khokhlov relies on the beauty and lines of the feminine face to form this project, entitled Weird Beauty.

This works on a larger scale as well. There are HVAC systems that make tons of ice overnight when the electric rates are lower, and during the day the melting ice cools the fans for AC. Don’t axe me how I know.

I was distracted yesterday by stuff in meatworld, so this Edition of The Saturday Matinee is a tad late. I promise that it’ll happen again.
This is a jawdropper. They wanted to demolish a masonry silo, yet save the roof “for the kids.” Rather than using explosives, they used sledgehammers. Watch the whole thing for the commentary, or jump to about 09:00 for the awesome.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd, with some interesting sidemen. Soylent Green has the scoop. [Caution – some of his posts are NSFK & NSFW, which is unfortunate IMO. He’s got good stuff otherwise.]
Joe Cocker‘s cover of the Lovin’ Spoonful‘s 1966 hit “Summer In The City” is a good ‘un, and fitting, too. It’s so hot here the dog melted.
To our fans (especially the one that runs all night in the bedroom): Please don’t burn up your motor and quit on us until the temperatures cool off a bit. As for the rest of you, see you back here tomorrow.
Anyone may steal and repost that image. Original found here.
These are the same types who claimed that “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” was blasphemy and worth killing people for it. Nevermind that images of Mohammed have been painted and reproduced for centuries. Every one of those little blue assholes on the map should be targets, IMO, and they probably are already.
Do I really have to add a caveat that innocent non-combatants be saved? Yeah, I do, because I don’t believe that all Muslims are extremists, never have. Can’t defend the Wahabbist assholes, though.
Carry on.
Updated comment from the source:
“I see this and I think, cripes, man, have you seen even PART of that ridiculous shitty thing? It’s all blackface and offensive mostly because it is so poorly done, designed to offend, like a joke that is all punchline and no build-up. To be offended by that piece of shit is an offense to me. […] C’mon, Arab World, riot over some shit that matters.”
Did you spot that […]? That’s where the commenter went scooters and blamed GWB. Otherwise I agree with him.
UPDATE 9:00PM 15 September 2012: I don’t care how stupid, ignorant or deranged someone is, but this ain’t right. The guy has a Constitutional First Amendment Right and was arrested FOR EXPRESSING HIS OWN OPINION.
Folks, this is very wrong, and very disturbing.

No, that’s not Seamus Romney, as if one’s preferred method of transporting a dog has anything to do with one’s qualifications for President of the USA. Did he pick them up by the ears? Nah, yet Obama ate one, by his own admission.
Do I care? Um, yeah.

We’ve been posting Cyriak Harris‘ odd .gif animations occasionally for years without knowing that he was the original source. I never connected them with the videos that Bunkarina turned me onto (like “Cows and Cows and Cows“). The guy is brilliantly talented and one of the most entertaining animation artists I’ve seen since Terry Gilliam.
All three .gifs from Cyriak’s jawdropping website: here, here and here.
I know, it’s way too easy. Even Drudge opined that the photo was an opportunistic cheap shot. So what. It’s not at the same level as Chimpy McBushitler.
