<KENOX S630  / Samsung S630>

for Father’s Day a few years ago.  I had the habit of wearing a Batman shirt to Girl Scout camp, and since none of the other girls knew my name they started calling me Batman and one thing led to another.  You can’t read the plate at the bottom but it says “You’re the Greatest Step Father” (they were young, and didn’t understand compound words yet).  I had only been their stepdad for eighteen months. 

I cried like a baby.

There are many more in the book  The Space Child’s Mother Goose

Solomon Grundy Walked on Monday

Rode on Tuesday Motored Wednesday

Planed on Thursday

Rocketed Friday

Spaceship Saturday

Time Machine Sunday

Where is the end for Solomon Grundy?

————————————————–

Little Bo-Peep Has lost her sheep,

The radar has failed to find them.

They’ll all, face to face,

Meet in parallel space,

Preceding their leaders behind them.

————————————————–

This little pig built a spaceship,

This little pig paid the bill;

This little pig made isotopes,

This little pig ate a pill;

And this little pig did nothing at all,

But he’s just a little pig still.

————————————————–

A Follower of Goddard

And a rising Astrogator

Were agreed that superthermics

Was a spatial hot pertater.

They reached a Super-Nova

On a bicycle named Beta

And I’d tell you more about it

But they fused with all the data.

————————————————–

Probable-Possible, my black hen,

She lays eggs in the Relative When.

She doesn’t lay eggs in the Positive Now

Because she’s unable to Postulate How.

(or in French:)

Plus-que-Possible, ma poule noire,

Elle pond ses oefs dans le Quand-Provisoire.

Elle ne pond point dans une periode sure

Car l’experience seraite bien trop dure.

————————————————–

Three jolly sailors from Blaydon-on-Tyne

They went to sea in a bottle by Klein.

Since the sea was entirely inside the hull

The scenery seen was exceedingly dull.

————————————————–

Little Jack Horner Sits in a corner

Extracting cube roots to infinity,

An assignment for boys

That will minimize noise

And produce a more peaceful vicinity.

————————————————–

Little Miss Muffet Sits on her tuffet

In a nonchalant sort of a way.

With her force field around her

The spider, the bounder,

Is not in the picture today.

This is the way the Physicist rides:

a quantum, a quantum, a quantum.

This is the way the Agronomist rides:

I plant ‘em, I plant ‘em, I plant ‘em.

This is the way the Philosopher rides:

O Plato! O Plato! O Plato!

This is the way that the Rocketman rides:

JATO! JATO!! JATO!!

(QUANTUM: The quantum is only a tittle or jot:

On a little theory hangs a lot.)

This is Just awesome: a girl who said "[w]hy choose between dressing as a sexy mermaid or a scary pirate when you could be both!" in the Kidnapped Mermaid Costume(tm) at Instructables.com.  This is the same wonderful girl who made the Headless Bride Costume.

I was walking with the wife in the park and came across a group of teenagers just ending a pillowfight.  I have no idea how they were organized, but it figures I would stumble across something like this.

A Thong of Beauty is Japanese Forever October 20, 2009

Posted by stuffilikenet in Uncategorized.
add a comment

A very common theme in Japanese is "fan service", occasional peeks at girls’ undies which are usually quite innocent in context (perverts; American make everything overt).  Since these programs are aimed at after-school audiences, concentration on this theme can have both creepy, unsettling effects on normal (read: non-Japanese adult) people, or surreal, lyrical and delightful effects, depending upon context:

It’s a sweet song, about promises, unbearable things and the sun
shining through the window through which the singer sees the blue sea.  Many other (pithy and wittier) comments have been generated from this snippet of video.

This particular cartoon is in several parts, and can be seen at crunchyroll.com

Nothing in this life is more frightening than sharing your home with a malevolent entity with inscrutable intent, as illustrated by this video (use headphones for full understanding).

Least I Could Do September 29, 2009

Least I Could Do is another comic strip I don’t want my mother to read.  But it’s very funny, in a rude-little-boy sort of way.

 

That’s exactly why I like it.
