drawing?

Nope... no new drawings since the other day. I've got one that I have to scan and put up here at some point. I'll keep the blog posted to new updates. But for now, smile along with me as I laugh at the ridiculousness of this 'news' article.

Woman to 911: Help! I'm locked inside my car

A 911 dispatcher had to tell a woman how to unlock her car on Sunday.

A woman called Kissimmee police to say she was locked inside her car at the Walgreen's on John Young Parkway near Poinciana.

"My car will not start. I'm locked inside my car," the unidentified woman said.

"Nothing electrical works. And it's getting very hot in here, and I'm not feeling well."

The dispatcher asked the woman if she was able to manually pull the lock up on the door.

The woman said she would try, and then, she said, "Yes, I got the door open."

grooming the queen...

I knew nothing of this... ever. But, it doesn't shock me, especially since the elites are completely insane and inbred anyway.
Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groom_of_the_Stool

The Groom of the Stool was a medieval English groom (i.e., a male servant) who, among other duties, had the task of cleaning the Monarch's anus after a bowel movement.[1]

In the early years of Henry VIII's reign, the title was awarded to minions of the King, court companions who spent time with him in the Privy chamber. These were the sons of noblemen or important members of the gentry. In time they came to act as virtual personal secretaries to the King, carrying out a variety of administrative tasks within his private rooms. The position was an especially prized one, as it allowed one unobstructed access to the King's attention. David Starkey writes: "The Groom of the Stool had (to our eyes) the most menial tasks; his standing, though, was the highest... Clearly then, the royal body service must have been seen as entirely honorable, without a trace of the demeaning or the humiliating."[2] Further, "the mere word of the Gentleman of the Privy Chamber was sufficient evidence in itself of the king's will," and the Groom of the Stool bore "the indefinable charisma of the monarchy."[3]

Sir Henry Norreys, a Groom of the Stool under Henry VIII, was executed for an alleged affair with Anne Boleyn.

The office persisted into the nineteenth century and John Neeld, M.P. for Cricklade held the office of "Gentleman of the Privy Chamber" to Queen Victoria, for which he was elevated to a baronetcy in 1859.[4]

A similar position, the Porte-coton, existed at the French royal court. The position existed in a less scatological but much more senior form, the Groom of the Stole, until 1901. These were always important noblemen.

gramps and the gun...

For God sake... this old man was just using his second amendment right! Right? Well, one way or another, I'm betting 20 to 1 that he gets off scot-free and lives to accost another innocent driver. The question is: When will he actually shoot someone?

Anyway, printing went as expected today. The 4XL and larger shirts are a little trickier to line up when printing... but whatever the case, the deed has been done. Listening to Tool right now. I don't know how such a kick ass band has eluded my Seeqpod list, but they did somehow. There is no excuse for this.

Later.

listening...

Listening to Digable Planets now. The song is 'art of easing'. As any one acquainted with Digable Planets can imagine, the tune is very chill. I love their music... though I'm sure its dated to some degree. But you know, music ages like wine - unless its horrible in the first place, then it never really mattered to begin with.

We had a yard sale here today at the house. It went well... you meet cool people at garage sales. They're very frugal folks. Its good to meet like minded people. Made some cash, spent a little on lunch at Firehouse subs and then took a nap. Nothing creative happening today. Gotta print tomorrow and do domestic duties at Mom's. Sucks when you get old and can't do things for yourself...

Anyway, keep an eye out for new stuff to head down the pipe. Getting ready to make some new prints. But until then, you'll have to check out some interesting articles from the day...

mug...

Well, its another day over. Didn't get to draw much today... just a bit over at the H&R Block. That's a very boring place. I don't know if I could work at a place like that, not that I have to do that per se, but its just a place that seems very boring. Its hard to say that the guy preparing the taxes there today was really into it either. Although, he better be for what they charge!

In other news, a small part of my time online everyday is spent reading news. Part of the news on our local newspaper website is the mug shots section. Its posted right on the front page, usually with a very tragic shot of a person with a strange look. This evening, I found that 10 out of the 36 people on the list of arrests were arrested for drugs.... those drugs, they really keep the MAN busy don't they?

John Doe has been identified as one of those charged.
He befriended ganja. This is not good for his freedom.
Not at all.

yikes...

Yikes... I saw too many people walking today in our town. If you think things are getting tough out there in the 'economy', look around to see if anyone's walking - unless you live in a big city where walking's a typical mode of transportation. I'm seeing more and more people here on foot.

Used to be in our town, there were only a few people walking -

• the guy that carries a football helmet and wears the heavy down jacket in the middle of the summer
  
• the black dude with the beard and weird walk that yells at himself constantly
  
• a family of special people who ride the bus and seem to get off at every stop

One time, I was riding my beach cruiser for fun and was stopped by some people who I hadn't seen in a long time. Turns out they thought I had gotten a DUI or something... they couldn't figure out why I would be riding a bike otherwise. Riding bikes was one of the best things about living in a college town. Gainesville had a such a good vibe for bike riders... it always felt natural to ride a bike there...

stolen...

Somewhere in southern California, there's a woman very proud of her new chest... the problem is, if she comes out of hiding she'll be arrested. Apparently, she went under the knife under a fraudulent identity to get free boobs. So here's the headline and her image:

Woman Allegedly Steals Brand New Breasts


Has the economy gotten so bad, people are stealing boob jobs? Police say Yvonne Pampellonne (pictured) used a fake ID to get cosmetic surgery.

I guess if you see her, either compliment her on her boobs or report her to the police... somewhere in southern California there's a plastic surgeon unable to make his $12,000 mortgage payment. Wait, something tells me he'll be able to make the payment - and that the $12k isn't that big of a deal.

But today, I have a surprise... its not going to be released here yet. Sometime soon though. I will say that it has to do with my art, but that's all I can divulge at this point. Pretty cool though.
