Apparently language has a liberal bias.

Another Kiwi said...

The books!! the books are against me!! But I shall outwit them won't I precioussss.
That dumbness level must be life threatening.

herr doktor bimler said...

So when are you trolly people going to set up an alternative open-source dictionary called Conservictionary or summat along those lines? Hilarity could ensue.

Speaking of trolly people, how come herr doktor has no blog?

Even I have one now. (All RB's fault, of course.)

Thunder, that is one of life's great questions.

mikey said...

Essentially, it is very often made clear that Bimmler's smarter than most of the rest of us unwashed souls.

Realizing the demands of blogging could interfere with drinking akavit and seeking disturbing pre-Renaissance imagery, the choice was stark and the decision simple.

Even Capcha has angst

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

not that I want to irritate mikey, especially considering he sent me branes, but isn't that akvavit?

sittin in my mulnest

mikey said...

What, you mean the italics are crucial?

Didn't know...

Another Kiwi said...

I think that those are just proprietary names for the same embalming fluid.

Capha tells me of the worlds smallest power station-runtly

herr doktor bimler said...

So how come no-one is hassling tigris?

Righteous Bubba said...

We suspect tigris blogs and is TRYING TO KEEP IT A SECRET.

herr doktor bimler said...

seeking disturbing pre-Renaissance imagery
That reminds me. Zoom in on the image -- freakiest shit ever.

tigris said...

RB, you're a big fat meanie who is mean. And fat.

Righteous Bubba said...

There she is going on at length again!

Another Kiwi said...

Good Herr Doktor, why are there 2 baby jesus's and why are they putting one in a sack?

Righteous Bubba said...

You can't expect to eat all three in one sitting.

herr doktor bimler said...

Bloody oath. There are vines sprouting out of people's navels and bursting into flowers which have the top halves of other people grafted onto them, and you're perturbed that someone brought along an emergency back-up Baby Jesus?!

herr doktor bimler said...

More pre-Renaissance weirdity -- a scene from the Life of St. Stephen..
The Baby Stephen is the maggot creature with the bright red stinger and the nimbus around its head end, that here is shown fellating a goat.

Righteous Bubba said...

In public yet. Was he stoned?

tigris said...

He had to be, would YOU do that without a chemical assist?

Another Kiwi said...

Later he got a job writing for Salon.
The watchers do look a tad concerned about it.
It's really milk innit, teh baby Stephen was raised by goats which is probably about as disadvantaged as one could be, really. Imagine "Meet-the-teacher" evenings.
Also, in terms of stunt baby Jesus, what would happen if an accident happened and the real one bit the dust. We would all be worshipping "Some Guy" son of "Another guy". All I'm saying is that it would be a let-down if people found out.

herr doktor bimler said...

That must be why they pelted him with potatoes.

Stunt baby? You know that scene in 'Battleship Potemkin' where the baby carriage rolls slowly all the way down the Odessa Steps? Turns out it wasn't the actual baby in the carriage... another baby did the dangerous stunts. Imagine my disillusionment when I found that out.

Oh yes, we can do stunt babies.

See also.

Another Kiwi said...

Looks like Stephen has a Medieval super hero flying down to save him from the merciless chipping.
Why do all the Medieval babies have the red stinger bit, is it something that has evolved off modern babies?
The question of stunt babies in movies is a thorny one since most of them are as useless as the star baby at doing stunts. If Eisenstein used a stunt baby, I'm sure it got well payed. Possibly free beard shaves for life

Righteous Bubba said...

If Eisenstein used a stunt baby

A stunt baby for math?

mikey said...

"Battleship Potemkin"???

Herr Doktor is clearly confused. The scene he describes with the stunt-baby in the carriage rolling down the steps is in "The Untouchables" with the estimable Kevin Costner.

These seem an odd pair of films to confuse...

Capcha curses: demamu

I read somewhere Winston Churchill worked as a stunt baby after he lost his reelection bid.

Righteous Bubba said...

The stunt-baby blooper reels are hilarious. Ha ha, baby, that was not a breakaway chair.

Another Kiwi said...

I read somewhere Winston Churchill worked as a stunt baby after he lost his reelection bid.
Similarly, Dick Cheney has been fielding offers from James Cameron and the Wachowski brothers

The stunt-baby blooper reels are hilarious.
I shudder to think how many takes they needed for the kitchen-blender scene.
