Dealing With The Heatwave
Apparently Britishland and their cross-Channel cousins are whining as they suffer the lash of a heatwave — what we in Texas would call a temperate summer — and here’s one Brit who’s not unhappy about it:
Mel, a hairdresser and mature psychology student, lives in her two-bedroom rented apartment in her block of flats in Warrington, Cheshire. “I chose this flat because the balcony gets sun in winter and summer,” she says. “I’m not bothered by people getting the odd eyeful. I’d rather strip down than cover up to enjoy this current burst of warm weather.”
Attagirl. And she’s not too awful to look at, either:
We need more women with her attitude, say I.

Well Planet Lesbia is one thing, but here on Earth…
...climate change… is there anything it can’t do?
But that’s nothing. Try this one:
...and don’t tell me, let me guess: it’s triggered by Intergalactic Warming Climate Cooling Change©?
And if that’s not moronic enough:
...wait: wasn’t eating bugs supposed to be a Good Thing?

...gee, what do you think tipped her off?
And speaking of The Great Cultural Assimilation Project©:
...in which we play the “Guess The Religion Of The Rapists” game. And speaking of the guys who invented the term “Nazi”:
...man, if they tried that shit Over Here there’d be a different outcome, methinks. And speaking of Sturmtruppen:
...I would suggest they’re not even in the top 5. Left-wing “comedians” and actresses, however...

In the intersectionalty of Crime News and LGBTOSTFU News:
...males take left; females, right?
In Election News:
...just keep all that money away from the Republican National Committee, FFS, or you’ll end up with even more RINOs in Congress.
...they’d be stupid to stay on. LOL @NYfC.
...hey, if they can vote from there, posting should be a piece of cake.
From the Obscure History Dept.:
...I’m so glad this issue has finally been put to rest; I’ve been lying awake at night for years worrying about it.
And Middle East News:
...three answers: no, fuck no, and if you insist on a timeline: never in a million fucking years.

:
...sorry, I faked you out there. No way am I going to upset people by showing pics of the grotesque Katie Price; instead, let’s look at her daughter Princess [sic], who just turned 18 and is therefore legal (unlike her foul mother, who should be illegal):
Not as slaggy as her mother; but then again, no one is.

…just another stupid acronym, this time standing for Another Fucking Snob.
This guy Nicky Haslam claims to be an arbiter of “class” or more often of what constitutes “low class” or “common.” Like most of his ilk, he’s simply a waspish little poseur, this time with his list of things or people he finds “common”:
- Selling art
- Artsplaining
- Sistine Chapel
- Christie’s
- Downlit art
- ‘Art is subjective’
- Silent auctions
- Children by Renoir
- Symbolism
- Hanging photographs
- ‘Can’t see what you see in that’
- David Hockney (can’t paint for toffee but can draw like a god)
- Francis Bacon is the campest artist since Gustav Moreau
- Waldemar Januszczak’s real name
- Giverny
- The Mona Lisa
- Oil paintings of big game
- Oversized garden art
- Studio visits
- Philistine
- Genres
- Frieze
- White
- Trauma
- Interpreted
- Banksy
- Validation
- ‘Have you got anything to fit this space?’
- Meaningful
- ‘I’m afraid it’s reserved’
- Kate Moss
- Tapestry wall hangings
- Have you noticed there is no ‘school’ of Lucien Freud
- Saint Laurent
- Buying art at weekends
- The Biennale
Most of it flies right over my head (which would probably make him add me to his list), but whatever. (And I’m sorry, but art is very much subjective, or else there’d only be Thomas Kincaid’s paintings hanging on every wall and in every gallery.)
All that said, however, there is nothing that shouts “common” to me more than this choice of wardrobe:
…which happens to be what this little tit was wearing when he oh-so proudly displayed his latest tea towel.
