European Heaven and Hell

Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics German, the lovers French and it is all organized by the Swiss.

Hell is where the police are German, the chefs British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss, and it is all organized by the Italians.

Now that’s a t-shirt I can appreciate!

Help with my bikini

OK, it started out slow, but the second guy is classic. Safe for work (barely), unfortunately, though if someone is looking over your shoulder they might wonder what the heck you’re watching.

Talk About Bad Luck

John Lyne has the worst luck.

Lyne’s career began as a child, when he fell off a horse and cart and was run over by a delivery van. As a teenager, he fell from a tree and broke his arm. On his way home from hospital - on Friday 13th - the bus he was in crashed, provoking another fracture in the same arm.

Since then, he’s been hit by lightning twice, fallen victim to a rock-fall in a mine, has nearly drowned and has enjoyed three car crashes.

And now he’s fallen into a manhole. Ouch. Great schadenfreude for his friends, though!

Superhero Old Folks Home

We all get old eventually, but I hope my kids have the sense to make me wear regular clothes. Gilles Barbier hammers that home with his art installation called L’Hospice where we get to see American superheroes in their golden years.

Halloween Costumes of Japan

Japanese Halloween CostumeI have to hope that these are not modern costumes and that their tastes have advanced. Look carefully (or click on the image for a larger version) and you’ll see a tiny penis and an oversized nut sack. Trick or treat!

Then again, looking at what some of them still wear full body stocking/costumes (including their faces) called Kigurumi. Oh yes, and many of the people under those female characters are really men. Go figure.
