Well I'm totally out of ideas.
Looks like it's time for another
Junk Drawer post.
Gamera destroying Tokyo.
I guess Godzilla was on vacation.
Salomon Andree's failed 1897 attempt
to reach the North Pole by balloon.
Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and his dog, 1969.
Chemical pathways in anaerobic organisms.
Uh, it's a long story.
A redhead? A party?
Count me in.
And another redhead who looks like she
knows how to have a good time.
WARNING: If she gives you anything to
sign, be sure to read the fine print.
Not sure, but I think this was my
last dentist.
Come to think of it, no, my dentist was
older. And more sadistic.
If you've ever dreamed of what Joan Blondell
looked like naked in a bathtub — well,
here ya go.
Andy Warhol.
Seriously.
A Greek poster for an animated version
of Ben Hur.
Marilyn Monroe on the set of Let's
Make Love (1960). She looks pretty
damn serious for someone making a light
romantic comedy.
As is the tradition, we conclude with a
sleazy photo of some actress or celebrity.
This time it's Rie Rasmussen, shown here
getting kinda kinky in the toilet in
Angel-A (2005). Some guys have
all the fun.

I really like the photo of MM.Human.:up::smile:
:hat: 2 red heads !! does that mean two parties in arow ?? 😆
Rie Rasmussen is Danish. Just for the record. Never met her, though, Yet.
@ Allan. I hope that you will meet her. And afterward please send her on to my place.BTW, is that pronounced Rie like "bee" or Rie like "Pia"?@ Star.Maybe she's trying to remember where she parked her car. :lol:And she looks good in that sweater. Okay, she probably looks good in pretty much anything. But I like the sweater. :lol:@ Angeliki.Sure. Maybe 3 or 4 parties. I've got plenty of redheads hanging around. Just in case I need one. 🙂
That's really a bizarre looking photo of Andy Warhol. Besides being odd and gay, I guess he was a cross dresser too. Strange looking balloon. It looks like solid rubber. My fave: MM
Edward, the "R" is a back-tongue consonant, the "I" is like in bee and the "E" is like the first e in elegant.Hope that helps – Danish isn't exactly the easiest pronounceable language in the World 😀
That schematics of chemical pathways in anaerobic bacteria looks really interesting. I mean, the way it uses sugar and all.:sst: actually I am looking at Rie:whistle:
@ Allan, Darko.Thanks. If I remember, the "R" sound that Allan mentioned is the one where you let the tongue kinda tense-up at the back of the mouth. I don't know what it's called — glottal stop sounds like a good one. :)Rie kinda gets my chemical pathways going a bit — some reaction involving testosterone, I think. @ Pam. Sorry there weren't more "painterly" photos this time. Although I guess the Warhol shot is at least of a painter.My guess — he did that for some party or other.
Not only is it a shot of a painter; it's also a shot of a painted painter.
There is a thing called glottal stop. There are none in Serbian language but as you can see in that Wikipedia article, some of languages has it, Danish among them. I think this is what makes Danish hard to pronounce.I am not sure if this is what happens when you say Rie :whistle:
Ed, you don't have to apologize for not having paintings. You always have an interesting array of pics from your junk drawer. I am wondering if that Glottal stop sound is the same sound one uses to pronounce Van Gogh the correct way, rather than Van Go. The art history teacher said it was a sound like clearing your throat.
Just had the exclusive pleasure of watching 'Destroy All Monsters' from 1968 the other night. Featuring Mothra, King Ghidorah, Rodan, Gorosaurus, Anguirus, Kumonga, Manda, Minilla, Baragon, Varan and of course Godzilla, and they where doing what they do best. Most B-film connoisseurs know what that is.I see why Gamera wasn't in this film. He was otherwise occupied.I used to live with a girl called Fie, which means that the latter picture reminds me of slightly similar situations. I have seen the inside of quite a few toilet bowls in my days. With the face of a woman hovering somewhere above.I didn't find the truth down there, though. Well, I wasn't really looking for it either.:coffee:
"it's also a shot of a painted painter"And of course if somebody were to paint the photo…As far as pronunciation, I should have worked a little harder when I took anthropological linguistics. :doh:@ Martin.I know of that film, but haven't seen it yet. But Gamera not being in it seems to open the way for a good sequel, yeah? Maybe this time they can divide the labor — with some of them destroying Tokyo and some working to level Kyoto. I'm sure that the toilet bowl has been the source of a real education — if not wisdome — for many a man.
My son shares my affection for B-movies. Last time he stayed over, we watched Pterodactyles starring american rapper Coolio. He keeps talking about a film called 'Snakes on a Plane' featuring Samuel Jackson.However, Godzilla and his many merry friends are our favorites.
"Godzilla and his merry friends" 😀
@ Angeliki.:heart:@ Martin, Allan.LMAO.Do godzilla and his merry friends steal from the Japanese and give to the…Koreans?Or maybe the Chinese.
