Les Edwards. A fine artist concentrating on horror and SF. I rather enjoy it.

SUPPORT RON PAUL!

This is the only guy who doesn’t come off as a complete phony like the other reptiles running for office. This is the only guy speaking in normal terms and not in corporate “buzzwords”. The American people are not being represented in Washington DC. I think we all agree that our country has been mismanaged for the last several years… maybe the last several decades; but this is the first election IN decades where a dramatic “spring cleaning” of leadership is possible. Are we just going to keep on putting people in office that value the best interests of big business over that of their constituency? Or are we going to think for ourselves and demand a change?

Although I thoroughly believe that the USA is run clandestinely and independently of any elected figurehead, I will say that it is a perception we must be oblivious to. For to acknowledge that our elections are a sham, would only serve to further galvanize our submission. We have to do something, anything to derail this fascism train. And if all we can do is run interference by electing an outsider president then so be it. In all honesty, if my old high school janitor got elected, I think we would be moving in the right direction. Just as long as we don’t elect one of these fucking hand-picked candidates; because republican or democrat, it doesn’t even mater, they’re just two different masks worn by the same Machiavellian political cabal. Lets do something important and spread the word about Ron Paul. Get him the kind of recognition that can’t be ignored. Wear his “merch” or bootleg your own, or whatever. Get behind him like people got behind their candidates when people still cared. Take some responsibility and stop being so goddamn apathetic! This is important!

I’d like to put some seamen on HER poop-deck! Know what I mean? What I’m trying to say is: I’d park my dinghy on her fantail anytime! Get it? You know… Inspect her pontoons… Deep water test my anchor in her waters… No? Scrape barnacles from her keel? Needle-gun her superstructure? Update her compartment check-off list?…. OH, SEXUAL NAUTICAL EUPHEMISMS! Will you always elude me?!

Andrew Bird is one of my favorite artists and one of the most talented and underrated musicians of recent history. You don’t need to be familiar with the music of the early jazz era to appreciate Bird’s abilities, but it helps. I can’t help but imagine sitting in a run down Argentine bar populated with scoundrels in white linen suits and Panama hats. Sipping bourbon from a Dixie cup in 100 degree heat and 100% humidity and watching the cigar smoke and the shadows of the futilely slow moving ceiling fans creep across everyone’s nervous faces.
You know?

Great short film! What really impresses me is the scene composition; visually, it is very similar to the actual lighting techniques and subtle details used in the comics. The part where Bats jumps down to the street and his cape seems to melt into the ground when he slowly stands up is a particularly effective. The production values are amazing (to me) for a short film.

Watch The Original
OK not only is this one of the most amazing things I’ve seen, but it’s also utterly ridiculous. It’s so surreal, I can’t stop watching it... plus, Iron Maiden’s the Trooper is so awesome that it sounds cool even when reduced to hand farts. They say it takes these guys upwards of 30 years before they are proficient enough to perform a song like this. That sort of add respectability to hand fart music don’t it? I’d like to hear a composition written exclusively for the hand fart instrument (the hands).

As a frequent “drunk” driver I find this site a breath of fresh air. I’m sorry world, but why is it that someone is considered drunk after they have four beers in an hour. What is this junior high? And really, even if you’re stone cold sober and you get pulled over, the very implication that you are drunk, nullifies any argument of defense you would have with your cop, and ultimately with your judge. The DUI laws are not there to protect anyone. They are there to make allot of money. This is what cops do:

• They pick someone and they tailgate them. They drive right up their ass. When that person starts to drive funny they have probable cause.
  
• They keep following until they get to an intersection and then they turn their lights on to pull them over. Ideally, the victim, having no safe place to pull over, will not pull over immediately but instead drive a past the intersection where it is safer.
  
• The cop asks the usual questions and administers a field sobriety test. There is no way to pass this test to the satisfaction of the police officer. They may even have you stand on an uneven portion of the shoulder when you do it.
• Now it’s time for the little field breathalyzer. It will read high even for a single beer. It doesn’t have to be calibrated exactly like the ones tat the station. It will always say you’re drunk. They have to bring you in. The case against you has been established and you are screwed.

At you’re trial:

• The cop found you couldn’t stay within the confines of your driving lane. When the cop put on his lights you continued to drive, and the cop will say he had to “pursue” you for 300 feet.
  
• The cop will say your eyes were bloodshot and glazed and that you fumbled with the requested license and registration.
  
• If your blood alcohol level was found to be within legal limits at the station, it’s passed off that too much time has passed and you “were drunk” at the time of your arrest. It doesn’t matter because you will be found guilty.
  
• Case closed. Any details that you dispute will make you look like a liar. The cop can wax it over because you were drunk and wouldn’t have remembered the events accurately.

There will be court costs, fines, one to six months of jail time (that you have to pay for), towing and impound fees, alcohol rehabilitation and awareness treatment, Mr. Bailbondsman, and equipping your car with a breathalyzer. If you had a lawyer, you will end up paying someplace between $2500 and $6500 (whatever you save goes to the lawyer anyway). Now all this cash ends up in the county’s pockets. Thats alot of money every month from “drunk” drivers alone. If you figure in the pay for all of the people involved in the process:, the administrators, the cops, the bailiffs, the judges ect, you’ll figure out that the county is probably PROFITING from lawbreakers. It’s a scam.

This is beautiful. I don’t know how anyone could steer this thing though. I’ve never ridden a trike, but I’ve ridden three wheelers, and they’re steered even more by leaning action than motorcycles. This trike must weigh a ton. Also, there’s got to be a prodigious amount of weight on that front fork. I just can’t see how a 200 pound man could exert the forces needed to turn this thing without some sort of power assist.

I really like this one. It looks like it was built in a home garage. It’s so big, you’d figure there’d be someplace to sleep built into it. But imagine motoring down the highway on this thing. It must be like flying in a chair.

This is a much more typical, prefabricated arrangement. Very retro-futuristic. I dig all the superfluous bars and headlights. Looks real mean.

A very weird example of a trike. Its hard for me to say weather or not this is a ground up custom build or not. The frame looks too complex for the average guy come up with, and yet it looks too ugly to be produced by a company trying to turn a profit.

Not a trike but it might as well have been. This bike made an appearance in Mad Max. That blonde guy is “the Goose”. The sidecar seems to extend to a molded fiberglass body over the whole motorcycle frame. It must have been rigid and very uncomfortable to ride in and drive. Looks cool anyway.

The “Utilities” section is very cool. A good use for that hideous 98% of thriftstore ties.
