It's the ancient rite of the cheap Spider-Man costume.

Looks like a FanCon for "Weird Science".

This might explain it...look near the end of the article.

"AHHH smell your essence young grasshopper !!!!"

The guy does reconstructions/models of extinct critters. He's made a diplocaulus (or so he says towards the bottom of the article), and it made me wonder whether or not that the thing in the bucket might be that model, since apparently, with the exception of a couple of posts on a cryptozoology site, there are no real live ones anywhere.

The same pic shows up on a couple of those aforementioned sites.

Someone has *got* to send that one to Jay Leno. Priceless.

What an attentive and concerned mother...:rolleyes: Well maybe she knows her baby's more likely to be a premie and have other weird health problems from the smoking she's doing and so she hopes to be the sole cause of her baby's problems. :eyebrow:

I got this picture in an email, I have no idea where it was taken or the story behind it but I know I wouldn't want to go kayaking there. :vomit:

It is emergency SARS protocol. Or maybe, maybe, there's a horrible joke in me that is fighting to get out... it's on the tip of my tongue.

NO! it's not! I didn't mean that!

There's water under there?! Looks like he's just rolling along over tubes, slippery paper and cylindrical bottles, 2-liter type.

are you sure it isn't the London Themes...?

Woo the pregnant woman lives on Bullitt Ave.! That, besides the fact that shes such a f*cking idiot, makes my week!

BAIT!!!!

My secretary, who lost her mind when she turned 50, sends me pictures like this a lot.

But without the photoshopping.

She also sent me a notice regarding an upcoming event in Philly about a "sacred rite" that's going to be conducted.

In a bar.

Involving the opportunity to be pierced with fishhooks, have a bungie cords attached to them and then you yank on them. They are doing "beginner" piercings too ... smaller fishhooks and rubber bands that you pull on yourself.

She sent me this as a means of claiming that doing such a thing is a spiritual act. The notice lead off with a statement that this work would be conducted in "sacred space".

No, I told her, this is just weirdos and freaks using an opportunity to get off in public.

I forwarded the notice to a Native American friend of mine who is a SunDancer.

Haven't heard back from him yet.

The fishhooks used by the wierdos who get their freak on in public do not have barbs. Some suspension piercers file the barbs off themselves, others have their hooks made to order.

Yes, I know far to much about this for someone who doesn't do it and wouldn't consider trying it.

Gods bless the internet, and the Discovery Channel.

Indeed, it is always heartening to see cautious, thoughtful self-mutilators in action. Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.

They call it an expression of personal power.

I call it Borderline Personality Disorder.

Yeah, well...most strong personality traits have a listing in the DSM IV. :D

No, dear. Just the fucked up ones.

Careful there, sweetie pie. I might resemble that remark!

Wolf I guess I have an untrained eye , but I don't see any photo shopery in this pic . Just a freakazoid hanging around waiting for a bite !!!!!

The first thing that came to mind when I saw that idiot hanging like that was:

"Where's the paintball gun..."

As a very active and concerned member of the paintball community, I hope shooting random things isn't the only thing you use a paintball gun for.

Nah, nothing random. Just folks who get their jollies by hanging themselves up by fishhooks. :D

Wolf,
Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I'd say he is well over the border and deep into the woods. hee hee :biggrin:

Thank you so much, Bruce, for giving me the heebie-jeebies. I'm gonna be feeling things crawling up my arms and legs all day!

Actually I don't have one. All I was thinking was that if some monkey wants to get his jollys from endorphins, I want to help.

Ah, yes. I have a good friend where I work. Her workers and I love her soooo much!!!!

While I don't know where all the pictures are, we have redecorated her office a few times. The first two times, while she & her husband were building their house, she was living in a trailer temporarily. So, because we looooove her so much, we redecorated her office to... acclimate her to the trailer lifestyle.

The third time, she was gone for a week. So, to keep her office safe, we wrapperd *everything in her office in newspaper. Her bookcase, her chairs, her box of paper. The only exceptions were her printer and computer, because of heat, and we only draped a sheet of newspaper over her flat-pannel to avoid heat.

We love you, Margaret!!!!
:angel: :angel: :angel: :angel:

i had an old manager who was... shall we say extremely anal retentive? this is a guy who would take the time before he went home each night to double check that all of his pens were either capped or turned so ballpoint was retracted.

anyway - i knew he was going to resign, so the day before he did, i went to work 2 hours early and turned everything upside down.

everything was in it's normal spot but upside down. bookcases, desk, chair, computer, pen holders, business card holder, pictures, every plaque on his I love me wall... i even turned his chairmat upside down.

it was pretty damn funny. but then he came in and saw it. he was almost crying when he left and said he wouldn't come back until tomorrow. oops.

Autopsy-correct JFK bust
 

Saw this on <a href="http://www.ilovebacon.com/100504/b.shtml">ilovebacon.com</a>

How nice that it's rectangular.... Same profile when pointed in either direction...

The only bummer is that after a day of skeet, I get wicked carpal tunnel. The good news is that the pigeons are about $3.50 for a pack of sixty.

See below:

This explains the high, squeaky voice.

What's wrong with this picture?
 

This is one of a series of pictures showing the various rooms in a house from a reality web site. can you spot the WTF? ;)

looks like nice, but hot and steaming weather! L' amour est la!

That hurricane candle holder is clearly off center on the coffee table.

Shouldn't this be in the "Dog Pics" thread?

Is parking THAT bad where you live, Toad?

is that a shopped photo? Is it a real parking-space? Over they have them with a roof on, to let people wait for the bus or a cab....

Well, OK. shove the sucker in!

Horse and car...
 

Apparently, this horse was wandering around thehighways and byways of Ireland when it happened upon a Mercedes A-Class. No winners here....

Wow, and we complain about the deer problem hereabouts ...

Ear wax candy.

Why buy kids something they already enjoy naturally? Man needs to stop interfering with nature.

Bruce,
Where the hell do you find all these images? Beating 2 trees is tops.

Well, much obliged.
Umm, I hope those candies aren't real, are they? :eek:

:) xoxoxobruce has the best stuff. :)

I totally have to get some of that Ear Wax Candy for my friend's children.

It should really gross out their grandparents.

A lot.

I shudder to think what flavor the Spermies are...

Back in the day, 'fireball' candy is what made our parents shudder. Now days it seems the grosser the candy the more kids like it. When I saw this ear wax candy I thought, what could be worse than that? Did a little googling and found these gems but I still think the ear wax takes the cake for grossness! :greenface

Toothache candy....that's so great, on so many levels...I think it wins because eating too much candy doesn't actually cause ear wax

Well it says on the box 'No Salt Added'...

Umm, why does it say "Stupid Nail Salon" on the nail of the thumb in the toothache candy picture? :3eye:

boys are so silly! Spermies are Sperm flavored! DUH!

AND in the immmortal words of Madeline Kahn--no, no, Yes!, Yes! Yes!

Bicycling is a wonderful sport, isn't it?

No fair, Bruce. I think I ruptured something over that one.

I can hear Jinx now " Ok Jim , show me how many fingers you have left today !!!!"

So, would this be a *popular* candy, then? If so, with whom, and do you think they'd value freshness in their snacks? :yelsick:
