I'm thinking:
"Does this noose make me look fat?"
or
"I'll give 'em credit for trying, but the Iraqi version of the Village People just seems to be missing that flamboyant spark... possibly because it's so hard to arm-spell Y-M-C-A in Arabic."

Justice!
(cross-posted from
IMAO)
Saddam Hussein has FINALLY been executed for "crimes against humanity". But what exactly were those crimes?
I have a list:
* Being the source of those annoying "XXX hot amateur camel action!" spam e-mails. That stuff is only XX, at best.
* Deliberately refusing to cooperate with UN resolutions, thus giving the UN unwarranted credibility by acknowledging its existence.
* Saying what the crazy voices inside his head told him to without giving them proper credit - plagiarism is WRONG, people!
* Capitalizing the "i" in iPod.
* Attempting to acquire nuclear weapons without having poofy hair.
* Forcing all women to wear burkhas instead of just the ugly ones.
* Running over puppies with his Segway.
* Killing his political enemies and throwing them in mass graves in CLEAR violation of Iraq's recycling laws.
* Jar-Jar was originally Saddam's idea.
* As was the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Let me know if I missed any.

A LITTLE OFF THE TOP, PLEASE
Straight White Eric is
complaining about his shaggy head, which got me to thinking about a question for the fellas:
Barber or hair salon?
I'll put in two votes for the barber right away.

I'm no expert on men's haricuts, but I would pick barber....
and having a friend who IS a barber, even if you work in a salon, you are still a barber.

Beloved Husband and Young Son have always used a barber.
One of the barbers wanted to cut my hair too... she'd tell me "I can cut your hair cheap"... ummm... no thanks. (one of the pitfalls of having to take your son in for a haircut I guess)

Harvey,
Barber (male preferred). The women barbers just wanna chat too much. Just cut the damn hair.

Harv, you forgot the redneck option--home. When your hair hangs to mid-back, as mine does, the wife (before) or girlfriend (now) just makes a quick cut with scissors. You finish up the front yourself. Of course, having a lot of forehead (solar panel for a sex machine), I don't really have any "front"...
Life is in some ways so much easier when you're a long-haired biker.

Barber. Male barber, preferably a mute male barber. Just cut the hair and shut up. I get enough mindless yammering already.
I can't go with the woman stylist with the large boobs, my wife has a gun.

Barber.
If I had the money, I'd get my haircut twice a week in the barbershop, just because one of the finest pleasures in life is heated shaving cream and a straight razor on the back of the neck.
I've had to be woken up after the neck shave before. I was awake when he started...

Pete - You'd love my current guy. After the brief formalities of greeting and desired length/style, he literally doesn't make a peep until he's done.
That's my personal preference.
My second choice is someone who can do a nice 15-20 minute monologue to which I need to do no more than make listening noises. That was my last barber.
And also the one before him.
Great guys, both.

I don't know why it is, but so far only a male barber has been able to get a flat top haircut done perfectly without a flat top comb. Sure it costs money I don't have to get it done at his place, but its worth the extra money because I know it will get done right.

It's been a long time since I've had my hair cut, but if I did keep my hair short, and when I start to keep my hair short in the future, barber all the way.

I STAND CORRECTED
Rachel of Pereiraville took offense to my recent post wherein I said that
piano music is boring, so she went and posted a video of her
playing piano to prove me wrong.
Of course, she cheated & played Mozart, who - by definition - can't be boring.
Let's see her try to keep me from nodding off while she plays Bach :-P

BEDROOM OUTFITS
Blogson Andrew of Custos Honor
asks:
"when it comes to acts in the bedroom (or elsewhere as the case sometimes is) which is better: lingerie, or just bein' naked from the getgo?"
I vote for naked.
Lingerie is just another darn thing I have to fling across the room in a fit of passion.

Geesh, you guys.
The lingerie is the wrapping on the package. Prolongs the moment. Lengthens the suspense, the excitment as it were.
I bet you are one of those guys that prefers bags over wrapping, too. Don't cha? ;-)

NON-CRAP ART
In a post
mulling over Christ, Christianity, and Christmas, Bloggranddaughter Mrs_Who of House of Zathras makes this observation:
Some of the greatest artwork of mankind was inspired by the Christian faith (Michelangelo, Raphael, Fra Angelico, and so on.) What kind of artwork do we have today, where Christianity is mocked? Crap. Crap. Crap. And oh yeah, a crucifix in urine, but I won't link to that. That artist sounds like someone who can't get past his teen angst.
I'll agree with the first part. Those Renaissance guys had it goin' on.
Fortunately, I can partially disagree with the second part. There ARE still a few modern artists who don't do "modern art". They have talent, inspiration, optimism, and reverence for the human form.
Most of them can be found at the Quent Cordair Fine Art Gallery.
Dozens & dozens of joyous, life-affirming paintings and sculptures.
Here's just one of my many favorites, "Self-Made Man" by Bobbie Carlyle:
(click to enlarge)
Lots more at the Quent Cordair home page. Go browse around. I promise you'll come away feeling better.
Which is the effect art is SUPPOSED to have.

You are right about others, Harvey. I've been to that site before and am absolutely blown away by the artists' abilities. I just hate it when someone with real talent uses it to deride others' beliefs instead of exploring their full potential.
My m-i-l is one of the 'modern' artists who has done an absolutely blow-you-away stunning portrait of Mother Teresa. She's done other portraits too, that are just as beautiful.
