That one cracks me up Sno... although I posted it a short while ago. Great minds think alike?

Sorry, I don't make it over here all the time and I missed it. It is still funny though.

Hey, before I post one of these I usually have to double-check and see if I have posted it before... let alone somebody else.

I sometimes do that but I just don't always have time to go through 18 pages to check.

 

[Artyczar]

Even that was funny sno (not having the time to check the pages). I thought so anyway.

Speaking of drawbridges. Demonstrators in Russia (Pussy Riot?) painted a giant penis on the bridge opposite the offices of the FSB (formerly KGB). You have no doubt guessed what happened when the bridge was raised.

Like the scene in ET when the wardrobe is opened and Eliot and ET are first confronted by each other, a similar thing occurs when confronted by the shocked smiley.

Damn. I almost got to use the word frisson. A frisson of fear. Next time.

Dem Britons once again liberating some hapless tribe from ignorance and backwardness.

By the looks of it, it's Rorke' Drift, where things came close to going very wrong for them, mind you. Victoria Crosses all round.

Amazing that this little island came close to controlling the entire planet.

David Shrigley. Untitled. 2018. Ink on paper.

I happened to pass through Trafalgar Square while Shrigley's sculpture was enjoying its moment on the Fourth Plinth. To see it there, for the first time, surrounding by all the other grand historic architecture, was a moment to tell the Grandchildren about. It brought a tear to the eye. The chest expanded, filling with all that good London air. That thumb, that elongated digit, made one proud to call oneself British.

Let alone Lapis lazuli!

This is definitely my family. I have some relatives who watch and listen to nothing but those media outlets that would make FOX News look like it was on the far-left. Several of them are all into the Qanon nonsense. My wife is spending the entire next week with one of these families. I'm going to have to pick up a couple of fifths of booze for when she comes home.

 

[Artyczar]

Booze is a good way of handling it I suppose.

Whatever works!
