No dam problem at all, it seems...

This is really something... the location is the Diga del Cingino dam in northern Italy.  The really cool part is those little dark bumps on the front face of the dam.
Those are Alpine Ibex just hanging around licking minerals off the rocks.  (As always, click the pics for bigger, more detailed versions.)  Must be nice not to be bound by that pesky gravity thing that seems to fuck us humans up so often.  Video of a death-defying, gravity ignoring ibex...  Evidently the steep face of the dam is just like the cliffs these goofballs typically hang out on.  Seems a little like unnecessary thrillseeking, like the birds that fly within inches of the front of your car.  Maybe they're just trying to piss us humans off.  You have to admit it's a little humbling... or maybe it's humiliating, that an animal with a brain the size of a lime can do something like this so casually.  I'm sure a human could climb up the face of this dam, but let me see one just go out and walk across it upright like this.  Plus, it's like an "in your face" thing, isn't it?  I mean, what's next, they line themselves up just right to spell out "up yours, dumbasses"?  Maybe we need to teach them a lesson, who in fact is the biggest and the strongest.  We have the Atomic Bomb.  Screw you ibex and your anti-gravity dam licking.  In the words of a very wise man, "Drop the bomb.  Exterminate them all."
It's the weekend!

Another one for the cause...

Ok here's another drawing I did over the weekend to try to make a few bucks from the PUFMM movement to legalize medical marijuana here in Florida.  Click the pic for a bigger version.  I guess PUFMMWLAIAB would be more accurate, People United For Medical Marijuana While Lounging Around In A Bikini.  I'll have to speak to someone about that.  Anyway I'm trying to see if we can get cheap prints made of this and the other one to sell for a few dollars at the events my friend goes to.  Maybe in a month or so I'll have several different ones so people have a wider choice and chances of them forking over $5 increase.

Here are a few ideas I was thinking about for Brian's next endeavour.  Rodeo clown, door to door vacuum cleaner salesman, speedwalker, Coast Guard.  I'll think of more.

Survivor tonight, here's hoping this is the night Naonka is finally voted off the island.  Getting REALLY sick of her bullshit.

And because today's post is clearly light on content, I'll throw in a bonus.  What's the best pizza topping?  In my opinion, sausage, pepperoni, and real bacon... but this is a hell of an idea, a pizza topped with assorted mini-pizzas.  Somebody was thinking outside the box on this one.
