I am all in favour of alienating people if they are contemptible fucktards!


Unrelated: that Jacques Tati clip was very funny!

Yet another mid-20th Century convenience, kind of like smoke detectors. ;-) Glad you like your new digs!

Yes, those would be smoke detectors. They are ubiquitous ...

Cheers! They were a lot of fun to do!

This sounds great -- I'd love to see it! For those of us in Canada, it is on yet another subscription-only streaming service -- I wish that all of the Cohen stuff were in one place -- a "Leonard Cohen Channel" would be perfect (maybe toss in videos of related artists, etc.), I'd subscribe ...

Realistic looking bugs, Lisa (except for the colors of course)... No, actually, the colours are not that far off from the real thing: mine are a bit brighter in parts (due to artistic licence, a bit of simplification, and working with the colours that I had available), but Nature is full of amazing...

I hope that I didn't offend anybody's sensibilities with my second-last post! (If I did, well, that's their problem, isn't it?). Nonetheless, I shall step off my soapbox and post a picture of two cute little Squishmallow penguins (Squishmallow is a brand of stuffed/soft toys), inspired by the fact t...
