Tarzan (Gold Key) #205

His jungle senses heightened by years of training, Tarzan hones in on a mysterious, funky aroma, he knows only from the Chimpanzee Tribe during the "bright sky ball bum rub squishy time".



Tarzan is confused by the scene below him. Why is the male not biting his mate? Why is she chattering and not cleaning his fur? Tarzan confused.



Goddammit! Just as it's getting good somebody needs help. Tarzan never learn where the noses go!

A Place To Stand, A Place To...What the Fuck?

Time spent over at The Galloping Beaver blog
was rewarded with this tidbit of information:

CAMPBELLFORD, Ont. - A small-town Ontario restaurant owner says he was "blown away" when a person in Ku Klux Klan robes leading a man in blackface by a rope was awarded first prize at a Royal Canadian Legion Halloween party.

"Blown away"? Why the offensive, suicide bomber-talk guy? Don't be so PC you lefty commie-fascist. This is Ontario, home of the brave and patriotic. Anyone who shouts racism is a racist and overly sensitive.



Update

Those involved ignore the first rule of holes:

"For his part, Mr. Crowley told the QMI news agency his Halloween get-up “wasn’t meant to be anything racist” and said “I apologize if I offended anybody.” He went on to suggest people were overreacting, saying the practice of Klan lynchings of black people “has been gone for years and years and years...That’s so past-tense.”

When Mr. Pigeau asked the branch to explain how the men got into the party and won an award, he was told “the fellow who was in charge of the event felt that it was their right to wear these costumes under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada, and he didn’t see anything wrong with it.”"

A Panhandle Christian Fuck Wit

Sarah from the Panhandle of Florida is a good Christian mom. Just look at this punim.



I said punim. That's the face you letch.

Sarah blogs about her church, her confusion, and how she beats her kids.

Here is how she deals with her girls playing board games quietly in their room...


"I finished the laundry and turned off the tv and asked them to come to their room. here's the convo:

"girls, please sit down. i'm not happy right now. do you know why mommy isn't happy right now? what's that? (pointing to the board game)"

Girls: board games...

"And where did you get the board games?"

Girls: out of the closet

"And what did mommy tell you about going in the closet?"

KAYLIN DID IT! IT WAS KAYLIN.

"I didn't ask who did it. I don't care who did it. I told you both not to go in there and not to play with the board games. And you did not obey me"

Jayruh: It was Angelina and Kaylin! I'm telling you the truth!
Angelina: Nuh uh! Kaylin did it.

"It doesn't matter. When I ask you two to do something, and you guys don't obey me, you both get spankings. That's just the way it is."

both girls get spankings.

I lay it on Jayruh a little harder than Angelina because Jayruh's been completely un-phased by spankings lately and is her normal giggly self as soon as my hand is off of her. She started crying immediately and I pulled her on my lap and told her that I love her and I spank her because I want her to learn "to do the good things" I pulled Angelina on my lap and kissed her too."

To recap, she hit her kids ("laid it in") in her terms, for playing board games out of season. But poor Sarah doesn't know what other option she has than to beat her little kids...

"Jayruh has such a gentle/sensitive spirit and any kind of retribution really, really affects her. When I left the room I got teary eyed... why does parenting have to be so difficult?"

Poor Sarah, so confused. But so righteous. I mean, she is the one who thinks that two things that don't mix include "Success and a government devoid of Christ". She is one serious god-bothering 'publican lass. Who beats her kids. But that isn't the confusing part as lots of people use violence to get their point across, don't they? Lots of religious people use violence to teach people how to "do the good things", don't they? Lots of religious people use violence to get the powerless to obey, don't they? It's really just a matter of degrees. And whiteness. Isn't it Sarah? Good Christian violence is okey dokey, isn't it Sarah?

As the internets say, parenting fail.

H/t to TBogg for pointing out this twittering twit.

Cup Full 'O Bunny, Got A Rake? Sure!




Where's Bordo now?



Just thought I would ruin those two for you.

You're welcome.

Broad Analogy I Can Live With


If you recall, I hated Cloverfield and it's terrible shaky camera and silly Godzilla monster, and I turned my nose up at District 9 and what I thought was it's ham-handed analogies and allusions.

Well, colour me pink and call me a pig. Monsters is a low-budget monster flick that points it tentacled appendage squarely at immigration, and it doesn't suck. Made for 5 bucks and a ham sandwich, this tension-laden buddy/travel pick is a madcap, zany romp through the jungles of Mexico where our delightful protagonists use human smugglers to get them to "The Wall" separating the bad aliens from the good and safer Americanos.

The aliens make no sense, the analogy is broad, but the plot holds up and the buddy aspect is well done. Everyone but Herb should see this. At a theatre of course.
