Great watercolor paintings of scenes from war-torn Afghanistan by British illustrator Matthew Cook. [Kudos to TR reader Nikolay Kotev for posting it.]

If you haven’t seen the vid posted here, it’s worth the 15 minutes. An OWS boy learns about collectivism from someone who lived in Soviet Russia… and he LISTENS.

Orlando Florida, home of Disney World, Epcot Center, and these pretty people.

Give your kids nightmares the easy way. Buy these. Sin duda todos estaremos de acuerdo en que el mejor sitio es delante de la taza del váter.

The latin name for it is Blobimus Maximus.

Any of you on Twitter? I am, but only for the purposes of collecting followers with the promise of tweeting absolutely no content. 20 or so get the joke. I haven’t “followed” anyone, yet I’ve been pre-blocked and reported as a spammer by some.
Think about that.

This a must read for everyone. We’re talking Freedom of Speech.

The .Gif Friday Post No.227 – Water Nymph, Fashion Ghost & REDЯUMp

[Found here, here and here.]

That REDЯUMp .gif belongs to jaw-dropper Christina Hendricks. We’re told she had a birthday yesterday, May 3rd.

[An aside: Today is the 42nd Anniversary of something that went down on May 4th 1970, and it’s eerily similar to what’s going down today. Pay attention.]

Better hide the women and children. This doesn’t look good.

the history fart

Approximately 200-400 years ago during Japan’s Edo period, an unknown artist created what is easily the most profound demonstration of human aesthetics ever committed to parchment. I am referring to He-Gassen a.k.a. 屁合戦 a.k.a. “the fart war.” In this centuries-old scroll, women and men blow each other off the page with typhoon-like flatulence. Toss this in the face of any philistine who claims that art history is boring.

Ancient Japanese art is a gas – but my hoax-alert antennae are twitching with the reference to “He-Gassen” even though I found another source here.

[Found here, h/t Princess Natasha.]

The .Gif Friday Post No. 217 – Paranoia

[Center .gif found here. I assembled more of  Daniel Lee’s spooky images from “108 Faces” to make the others, and yeah, it creeps me out, too.]

German Ratwurst

The .Gif Friday Post No. 211 – iWalkers, Floor Girl & Cat Psych

[Found here and here. I modified the “Walking i” that I found here, and I reversed and patched the cats. I tried to synch the Floor Girl with the the Walking i animations, but no dice.]

Abandoned 3D Graffito

[Found here.]

Mom would have loved this had I painted it in her basement, but only after she kicked my ass upstairs one step at a time.

Thanks for kicking my ass, Mom. We’re gonna miss you.
