Highway Star

Comics come back February 6th. Hang on to your ass, Fred…

A little “Machine Head” for your Monday.  A bit of ’70s trivia… Ian Gillian was one of the best screamers of rock in my opinion and he does four wonderful ones at the beginning of “Highway Star” as a result of Quadraphonic Sound being shoved down us audiophiles throats back in the day.  I didn’t fall for it.  But, that failed audio format became what is known today as Surround Sound.  Yeah, take a failed format for audio and stick it on VCRs.  Today, who doesn’t own a Surround Sound amp and speakers?  That’s right.  So take all your failures and turn them into successes.  If not, just crank the shit out of today’s song.  Either way, you’ll feel better.

Elephant Dung Shoes

"Them some nice shoes there baby..."

Yeah, there are shoes in that shot… They’re built on ELEPHANT DUNG!  Now there’s a “What the Frak?” moment if I ever saw one.

Now, a roommate of mine once had an elephant turd in the apartment we lived in.  It was sealed in lacquer or something and it sat prominently in the living room where all guests would pick it up and once they found out what it was, immediately proceed to toss it back at my roommate.  Luckily it was sealed hard as a rock!

The reason I post this image, besides the glorious ass, is I had just told the elephant turd story to someone on Twitter just today and what do I find when I Google “elephant dung”?  These shoes.  The image is linked to the site where the photo comes from so proper credit is given.  Don’t want SOPA closing me down.  Yeah, like a site about Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll isn’t already on some DEA’s “watch” list.  Goofy government.

Driving Ms. Boobies

A tad NSFW but well worth it.

Now, I’m a cynic at heart nowadays when it comes to stuff posted on the internet.  This is a set up for sure.  So for those of you who have stopped staring at her ripe breasts, let me tell you why this is a set up.

First, she’s not wearing her shoulder straps.  The driver, if he’s any kind of pro at all, would NOT let her ride around strapped in so loosely.  Second, she’s a good actor at the end looking down and going “Oh, my boobs are out!” with her expression, but she’s acting none the less.  True, maybe she was scared shitless and didn’t notice the wind blowing across her bouncing boobs, but I doubt it.  Most women are very protective of the “girls” and would notice if they were bouncing about like that.  Third, her blouse goes from being buttoned at the bottom in one shot to fully open in another.  This, my friends, was no accidental “oops” my boobs fell out moment.

But, I have to thank whoever set this up as it’s one helluva a video for sure and has brought a few moments of joy to my day as I’ve watched it many times to “study” it for this post. You’re welcome.

Wizard World Chicago Comic Con 2011

Here’s my follow up on Wizard World Chicago Comic Con.

As it was my first ever Wizard World event, I was not entirely sure what to expect.

First, it was tremendously easier to get in and out of then C2E2.  I just pulled up to the dock on the side, loaded my crap on the cart and rolled in.  They had a parking pass for $43 for the entire weekend with In and Out privileges (a big deal).  Thus, there were no huge lines anywhere to get in or out for vendors.  And there were over 400 artists in Artist Alley as well.

The big “con” to this con was it was mainly an autograph event.  Huge names in the movies/TV were there, but they were all UP FRONT and there was NO motivation for folks to walk the through the floor, especially all the way back to Artist Alley.  With C2E2 they had guests along the sides, forcing people to walk the entire floor, and thus we had more visibility.

RIP Jane Russell

by Byron on March 1, 2011 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Ramblings

Man, Jane Russell.  Another iconic sex symbol has passed away.  If you don’t know who Jane is, Google “The Outlaw” film from the 1940s.  Howard Hughes made the film and it featured Jane’s amble bosom in every possible shot he could.  I remember the pictures of Jane clearly as a young man… who could NOT remember those breasts and plunging neckline?  Oh yeah.

Anyway, I’m crap at doing caricatures so Lorraine, our resident buxom brunette is sitting in for Jane.  Enjoy.

I decided to go ahead and update this with the first drawing I did of Jane Russell.  I tried to draw her from one of the images from the movie, and I was none to pleased with the results, but as I look at the next day, I guess it’s worth posting.  If nothing else, you get to see some of what I think is my crap drawings.  Nothing against Jane, my likeness of her is not quite on in my opinion.

1977 Ads: JIF!

by Byron on February 10, 2011 at 12:01 am
Posted In: 77 Ads

Are you a choosy mother? Another example of how an Ad agency purposely played on a known expletive phrase to sell their peanut butter.  The first time I remember hearing a reference to “mother” in the sense of “Mother F****r” was in the song “Shaft” by Issac Hayes.  Some AM stations even bleeped the “mother” in the lyrics even though Hayes never even comes close to saying f**k.  So, when JIF picked their slogan “Choosy Mothers chose JIF” you bet your ass everyone in the room knew exactly what it meant.  The guy who came up with it probably got a bonus.

If it’s memorable, it’ll sell and there’s not a person today over the age of 30 who doesn’t remember this slogan.  In 1990 “mother” was changed to “mom” I guess in an effort to be more “PC” which sucks.  JIF has been the leading peanut butter brand since 1981.  And it was Mothers that made it number 1!  Not Moms.  Now they even mention Dads in the Ads.  Hey, I’m a Dad, and I’m not choosy.  I buy what’s cheap.  So don’t peg me in those Ads you morons!

So here’s Mrs. Heintzelman (a Cougar if I ever saw one) getting duped into buying JIF peanut butter.  Enjoy!
