The Swag Report

June 30, 2008 – 4:16 am

Those loyal readers who can boast personal acquaintance with raincoaster know that if there’s one thing I’m all about, besides Squid, it’s Swag.
I swear, I only worked at Starbucks for seven years because they kept giving me t-shirts! Sometimes I lie awake at night, thinking about all the t-shirts I’ve missed in the last decade…I [...]

My kinda carpet!

June 29, 2008 – 10:15 am

How do I order wall-to-wall this?

Pretty sweet, eh? I bet you want that pattern for yourselves! Yes, this would be a big step up from my current carpeting pattern, a graphically similar arrangement of old Vanity Fair magazines.
That shot is part of an awesome series of shots of migrating cow-nosed rays (not the Steve Irwin-killing [...]

Quiz: what kind of bikini are you?

June 29, 2008 – 3:16 am

This one lacks accuracy, I must say, since I have virtually none of those traits (except an athleticism that has lain unused and wrapped in tissue paper for the last four years). But every one of my bikinis is, in fact, a halter, so there may be something to this after all.

You Are a Halter [...]

This and That: Avatars of Feminine Power

June 27, 2008 – 11:17 pm

First up, possibly my favorite painting in the entire world, Rembrandt’s Pallas Athena. I’m well aware that many people think it may not be by Rembrandt himself, but like, whatthefuckever, the painting stands on its own two feet, or would if it had feet instead of a frame. Rembrandt would look at that and say [...]

Young John McCain: Hawt or Nawt

June 27, 2008 – 4:05 pm

I have a long and shameful history, it must be admitted, of crushes on right-wing political figures (the sainted Pierre Elliot Trudeau notwithstanding; as always, he’s a special case) perhaps because of my poorly-disguised thing for preppies, but frankly, above all of them (even Tony Blair who is, come on, right wing) stands one man.
On [...]

rough striptease action!

June 27, 2008 – 10:03 am

This is, without question, the roughest striptease action you’ll see all day, and that’s even IF you have those Carmen Electra workout videos.

From that cavalcade of Schadenfreude, the Failblog

DUDE NOT DEAD!!!

June 26, 2008 – 12:59 am

I can’t help busting out the ALL CAPS!
I’M SO DAMN EXCITED!!!
And what, you may ask, has me so excited? Nothing more nor less than the sight of an unmistakably gimpy squirrel on my patio. Yes, it’s Little Dude, so named because…because that’s what I call him, that’s why. Because he’s just a little dude.
But he [...]

Beaver Shots: Bad Beaver! Bad, Bad Canadian Beaver!

June 25, 2008 – 10:07 am

Beaver shots have been neglected around here of late (we even skipped the drunk Russian beaver rampage of January, shocking to say!) but we are about to rectify that, ladies and gentlemen. We are about to make up for lost time in the only way we know how: by pandering.
So here is your shot of [...]

The South Atlantic Oceanic Bulldog Discovered!

June 25, 2008 – 6:45 am

It’s only Tuesday and it’s already proving to be perhaps the most historic week in bulldog history since Karsh took that classic portrait.
Only a few days ago this blog broke news of the rediscovery of the lost French Plaid Bulldog or Le Bouledogue Français Écossais, and now comes news of a new Bulldog Breakthrough, this [...]

Public Service Announcement o’ the Day: Check Your Testicles!

June 25, 2008 – 3:44 am

I just checked all the ones in my freezer and they’re fine. In fact, sauteed with a little vermouth they are wonderful!
