Hans Conried (April 15, 1917 – January 5, 1982)

R.I.P the real and original Snidely Whiplash
The live action movie was an abhorrent abominable abortion
Like Bugs, especially, the old cartoons  may have gone over our heads when we were kids
But they didn't talk down to us

If you want to be promiscuous

Practice, practice, practice

I like girls that play hard to get

and I especially like the good sports that keep playing after they know they're terrible at it.

Plagiarizing ain't easy

I didn't want to use a photograph; I thought of the sign gag without the picture, but dedicated scouring of pulp art failed to provide a suitable painting.  My post " It was easy..." was surprisingly difficult, the gunfighter on the Western Street  is such a cliche'. Click to enlarge as usual

Quit whining, I barely grazed you

Not so fast there...

I recently saw this posted as an example of how not to lock things up

Grotesquely unfair, the ring on the inside doorknob is pure genius. It's probably stronger and faster to use than the little slidebar and chain that are commercially available. Plus no drilled holes or other scars on the door. It is easy to imagine a commercial version, modify the ring slightly to cam lock onto the door. Two of them chained together would work instantly on double doors.

If Countries Were People

 The Anglos are family, we love Canada, the older sister, modest, polite straight A grades, the go to gal when we fuck up. The US is the only boy, loud, pushy,who's the favorite only because he is the boy, cluelessly blundering through life secure in his entitlement. Australia is the acting out baby sister, smoking cigarettes with her bunch of slutty friends that ignore the US except when they want to piss her off.  New Zealand is the invisible middle child, the wallflower who everyone identifies only as Australia's sister. Good old mom, England, we love her we really do but we hate to visit because her house is full of antique furniture we have to stay off. Lovable Ireland Dad, he was fun when he was sober and around, we understand why mom divorced him but it's been forever, why can't they bury the hatchet.
