Divorce is Entertaining

This is not a hint to any husband-shaped person or persons who may be reading. Promise.










In truth, the only thing I want to divorce is my favorite restaurant, which closed down unexpectedly, just in time for Cinco de Mayo. But I guess since it closed without notice, it divorced me before I could divorce it.

gah

When you see it, you'll shit bricks. From awkwardfamilyphotos.

at least you get a brief glimpse of Ted Knight

Someone mentioned this YouTube clip recently on a post that no longer exists, but which sadly was still in my RSS feed. Did you know that if you delete a post it doesn't get deleted from the RSS feed? I didn't know that until now. Anyway, this nameless person who decided to spare his blog readers this pain was so horrified by this clip that I had to see it for myself. Words cannot express how wrong this is. P.S. A little background knowledge of Capote's research on In Cold Blood is necessary for the understanding of the wrongitude.



The "accidental" mispronunciation of "mugger" at about 1:50 made my headache come back.

because I need youtube vids to express my opinion for me

A video from Jay Smooth about the Roman Polanski thing.



He gets a little wordy in the middle there, but basically, this is a really good and reasonably short primer on why the people who think Polanski needs to be held responsible aren't just prudish flyover American hicks who don't understand what the 70s were about. Because honestly, that's the vibe I get from the pro-Polanski people, and it's disturbing in about 50 million ways.

I tease people when they use YouTube videos to illustrate their own opinions instead of creating their own way to express it, but in this case so much has been said that I'm certain my own words don't need to be added to the 'net noise.

this text is not very sub

The interior cross-section schematic of the famous JBL Paragon D44000 stereo system:



Tell me I'm not the only one who sees it.

For more about the JBL Paragon series, see the link above or the post at Pour 15 Minutes D'Amour. Which is in French, so you may have to translate it.

you'll poke an eye out with that thing

An entire 1964 Frederick's of Hollywood catalogue via the Flickr of "What Makes the Pie Shop Tick?" Check out the padded butts on girdles for the "come hither" look. Also, note that the "edgy" bra Madonna wore back in the early 90s during a concert tour is the exact same thing sold in this catalogue. She wasn't daring, she just bought "daring continental look" and "feather light foam pads" bras from this catalogue.

interesting if true

This squirrel will get photoshopped into more pictures than Pedobear.

his wife? a horse.

Yes, Sultan is a horse. A sexy stalking horse in love. From my favorite comic and yours, Juggs Parker.

Blog, The Magnificent Ferret

A "New Scooby Doo Movie" is on Boomerang right now (started 7:00 PM Central). It's "Haunted Carnival", the one with Dick Van Dyke as a guest star. About 35 minutes into it, Dick is in front of a carnival attraction which is labelled "Blog, The Magnificent Ferret". This ferret is 6 foot tall and 10 stone! That is magnificent! See Blog for just 10 cents!

I wasn't able to record it because my DVR was busy finalizing a disk, but I am not the only one to report on this amazing discovery. Alternately, you can watch it on this poor-quality Youtube video, starting at 8:10.






Is it not magnificent? The whole episode is filled with that trademark Hannah Barbera accidental pervertedness.

Willy!

Well... that goes without saying.

Apparently, I am a pervert

When I was a kid I used to watch "Bless Me, Father" reruns on PBS. The show starred Arthur Lowe as the priest of a small parish and Daniel Abineri as his young curate.

VERY young curate, apparently. I had a huge crush on Abineri as a teen and when I recently learned the show was on DVD, added it to my Netflix queue for sentimental reasons as well as to see Abineri again. You know, because he was so damned gorgeous, but also I haven't seen him anything since, or so I thought. More on that in a minute.

The first disk showed up today and I popped it in the player after dinner. Within a few minutes Abineri entered the scene... and he was just a boy! Look at him:



For some reason (insanity, I suppose) it never occurred to me that someone who looked so much older than me when I was 12 years old wouldn't exactly look as old to me now. He's still cute, though he's only 19 or so in this show. It seriously threw me for a loop when I saw him. I... I could be his mother! I'm a pervert who likes little boys!

A few years ago I realized the only time I'd seen Abineri was in the "Bless Me, Father" twenty*mumble* years ago. Since then, though, I had seen him and didn't realize it. He was behind the 2007 viral video "Mr President":



And he played Dr. Frank-N-Furter in a road performance of "Rocky Horror". I defy you to not find him unbearably hot as Frank. DEFY. YOU.

The moral of the story: It's marginally more acceptable for a thirty*mumble* me to think a 23-year-old Frank-N-Furter is sexy than a 19-year-old curate. At least that's what I tell myself.
