I'd seen Dean Yeagle's Mandy before, between the pages of Playboy and the intergoogles; according to his latest artbook her last name might be Godiva. Good stuff.
Some updates to the "Beer Summit" item:
Emmanuelle Chriqui is a Canadian actress of Moroccan Jewish descent, who I've never seen in anything, but I've heard; she voice-acted in the anime series Vampire Princess Miyu, and will apparently also VA in next year's Gatchaman animated film.
Regarding the "Beer Summit" between President Barack Obama, Professor Henry Gates, Jr., and Cambridge PD Officer James Crowley:The meeting is raising some sensitive issues, such as: What kind of beer?Red Stripe is best when from Jamaica ("Hooray, beer!"), and I've never had Blue Moon. Bud Light, however, is revoltingly flavor-free. Dear Leader, you FAIL it. Continue...
Late Wednesday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs hinted the presidential cooler will likely be stocked with what he understood to be the two guests' own personal favorites -- Red Stripe and Blue Moon.
"The president will drink Bud Light," Mr. Gibbs added.
The problem is that all three beers are products of foreign companies. Red Stripe is brewed by London-based Diageo PLC. Blue Moon is sold by a joint venture in which London-based SABMiller has a majority stake.Oh, snap! Headline: "Dear Leader outsources jobs with drinking habit!"
And Bud Light? It is made by Anheuser-Busch -- which is now known as Anseuser-Busch InBev NV after getting bought last year by a giant Belgian-Brazilian company.
FMD Crankmonkey unearths Brazilian/Italian Fernanda Ferrari, and I approve that message.
From today's Yahoo! News, Police: SC man charged with having sex with horse:COLUMBIA, S.C. – A South Carolina man was charged with having sex with a horse after the animal's owner caught the act on videotape, then staked out the stable and caught him at shotgun point, authorities said Wednesday.Seems he didn't keep to himself well enough. Next time, do your horsefucking on stage so people will be able to truly appreciate it.
But this wasn't the first time Rodell Vereen has been charged with buggery. He pleaded guilty last year to having sex with the same horse after owner Barbara Kenley found him in the same stable and was sentenced to probation and placed on the state's sex offender list.
[....]
Vereen, 50, was first charged with trespassing, but police added a buggery charge after watching the surveillance tape. He faces up to five years if convicted.
[....]
Vereen has had mental problems for several years, but seemed to get better after getting court-ordered treatment last year, said his brother, the Rev. James Vereen, who lives just down the street from his brother and the stables.
"He's done all right when he was on the medicine. I don't know if he is still taking it," said James Vereen, who added his brother has kept to himself a lot in the last few months.
As found on LGF via BBC, the "Nigerian Taliban" aren't too big on things like freedom, the 21st century, or "book learnin'":In an interview with the BBC, the group’s leader, Mohammed Yusuf, said [Western] education “spoils the belief in one God”.The word "taliban" is supposed to mean "student," but these goons prove that study isn't part of their curriculum. Poor ignorant militant African Muslims.
“There are prominent Islamic preachers who have seen and understood that the present Western-style education is mixed with issues that run contrary to our beliefs in Islam,” he said.
“Like rain. We believe it is a creation of God rather than an evaporation caused by the sun that condenses and becomes rain.’
Keeping in mind that the City of Richmond, CA has a Green mayor, and has generally been on an anti-Chevron tear the past few years, I do believe this qualifies as going "both ways":The Richmond City Council is asking Chevron to appeal the Contra Costa Superior Court injunction that stopped construction at its refinery earlier this month.This is the same Richmond whose city council tried to extort Chevron into helping them close a $21 million budget gap, and usually stands in the way of pretty much anything else Chevron has either done or attempted to do. I personally think that Chevron's "going slow" to remind Richmond who's the boss.
Chevron filed an appeal in state court to try to reverse a court ruling that deemed inadequate the environmental impact report for its project to upgrade equipment and refine a wider range of crude. However, the refinery did not seek a stay of the injunction that halted construction because it needs project and operational certainty to move forward, spokesman Brent Tippen said.
Council members passed a resolution Tuesday night supporting an immediate settlement among the city, Chevron and environmentalists so 1,100 laid-off workers can return to the refinery.
Once upon a time, Amy Winehouse was talented, pretty, and British-fit, fresh from recording a cover of "Mr. Magic" (with her vocals, it becomes "Through the Smoke"). And then beehive hair and crack came along. So sad.
Currently listening to Tanto Tempo from the album of the same name. Bebel Gilberto has the sort of voice I could listen to reading my car's owners manual. And I'm not just saying that because I really like my car.
I'd just like to point out that this is pretty good technique because you don't want to rub anything on your car's paint that will cause scratches and swirls. Carefully examine the others, however. Many of them are using buckets and/or sponges, which can collect and trap abrasive particles. And if she turns around and thinks she's about to lay some ass to your finish, make her drop her drawers unless she can prove they're cotton; nylon and polyester will scratch, too.
Hide the children, Pedobear is on the loose! Last spotted in San Diego, CA.
One of the litany of costumes that Olivia Munn modeled at this year's Comicon. I'm only slightly disappointed in the absence of Slave Leia this time around.
A very strange Tuesday deserves a not-strange import model.
Today's trivia: Dita von Teese (realname: a much more interesting/less pretentious Heather Sweet) is a natural blonde. All the way down to the hair all over her face that stands up when the smile muscles go. I blame Marilyn Manson.
FMD Crankmonkey teases us all with this cavalcade of cosplayers from the 2009 San Diego Comic Convention. Some good, some bad, all part of the fan(atic) atmosphere.
