Today’s Art and Design URL

Some of you may have seen this before, and I think that some of it might even have been lifted from James Lileks, but this brings me back to my misspent childhood looking at Life and Look magazines along with the Sears catalog. I think that will especially enjoy this website (there are no discoverable P**ps in it).

    oh now this is just charming. It’ll take a while to explore this site, but I wanted to send my thanks as soon as possible.

    you may notice on soc.motss that I found one of the ads (for Jantzen swimwear) that perfectly illustrated Mike McManus’ reference to Asimov’s Foundation trilogy.

    (yes, I know Mike is a livejournal person, but I can’t find him meejutly, and I need to say thanks and go to bed and sleep now).

    the Jantzen women must all have had a couple of ribs removed, they’re more wasp-waisted than Barbie.

    a delightful site, as I said. I’ll be savouring this for a while. thankyouthankyouthankyou.

    Yes, that was pretty cool seeing that picture you posted to illustrate my Asimov quote. 😉

    On the other hand, there are those other entries from with all those references to the marshmallow critters you love to hate. After i posted the first link to motss and got no response, I thought better of posting any more, but he’s got quite a few of them by now.

    was your motsspost not about marshmallow critters experiencing the ten plagues of Egypt? I did respond to that, but not in soc.motss — I’d actually been pointed thataway 24h before right here in chris hansen’s blog:

    casting them into a river of blood, boils, locusts – AND being trampled underfoot [underhoof?] by a donkey all seem like very suitable uses for p**ps to yr panda

    Let me know when it’s safe to come back to soc.motss. I want to participate in a p**p-free environment!
