Modern Vespa

I stole it from your web site (before you locked it)




I've used this one before, you must be at a wedding/party you're in a coat and tie hold a beer (like you're making a toast) in a red cozy seat next to a young women who has glasses.

I just read that the 7th season of this reality-show-fav of mine will begin filming soon in Washington, D.C. But to find this tag, you'll have to google the show's name and not the host, pictured here. (After seeing this pic, I think the show should be permanently relocated to the beach.)

[Sidenote: I'm still blown away by who her ex-husband is. I guess the brainy ones do get the girls.]

AHHHHHH! I knew it looked familiar. Yeah, me being pretend-drunk at my friend Michele's wedding while another friend, Jamie, looks on like I'm a complete idiot. Which very well might be the case.

Now you know that this is NOT going to turn out good for you,



right

That would be Top Chef with host Padma Lakshmi.



She was married to Salman Rushdie in 2004 and divorced in 2007

When questioned about Rushdie's age (he is only seven years younger than her father) and her long estrangement from her father (whom she has described as "the most sexy, manic, in-shape, lean, tall, handsome man I have ever met"), Lakshmi has said that there may be a correlation: "I think that we are attracted to what we feel we need."

So your choice is simple, return to New York of 1899 or stay here with this primitive tribe.


(though you do have a holographic librarian for more intellectual conversations)

Nicely done.

That would be Samantha Mumba playing the Eloi Mara in the 2002 adaptation of H.G. Wells' the Time Machine.

(I'd choose Ms. Mumba over 1899 any day.)

This founding father and original American iconoclast has been dead 184 years and he's still hotly debated today. The religious right try to claim him as their own, saying he signed his letters in the name of Christ; the secular left claim him and his coining of an oft-cited American dictum as well as the scrap-book-style "penning" of the book seen here, in which he cut and pasted (pre-photoshop) New Testament teachings while excising any mention of miracles, divinity or the supernatural.

(There's been a kerfuffle lately over the Texas Board of Education's recommendation to, as some claim, CTRL-X-Del him out of history books.)

That would be the Jefferson Bible or The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth as it is formally titled. (source credit Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

well it's not like others don't do the same.

Yahoo News] (shakes head and starts praying for the rapture so some of these folks can go home)


But I have to wonder how you go from hanging out on the beach with two half clothed babes to the Jefferson Bible.

Hmmmmm,

Are we a little worried about Matthew 5:27-30?

And speaking of lower mental capacity and adultery, we have this month's winner of I'm a Dumb Ass.

Matthew 5:27-30? "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'[a] 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."

You trying to accuse me of something after my last couple of tags, Messy?

I thought about including an explanation, but thought the tag was wordy enough.

Nope, no ulterior religious and/or political statement. Just a fan of irony. I thought it was funny that a conservative friend of mine posted a Jefferson quote on Facebook to support his position against the health care bill (as if that quote sealed the deal) right after I'd read about the conservative Texas Board of Education trying to gloss over the founding father's influence on the birth of the nation*. (*According to some.) Got me thinking about Jefferson, his version of the Bible, etc. and how the founding fathers are used today like religious texts themselves, how they're words are revered as Holy Writ while some of their actions are swept under the carpet (like owning slaves, adultery, etc.). Like any religious text, they're sort of all things to all people. I mean, I'm sure you can find a Jefferson quote to support the belief that extraterrestrials constructed the Face on Mars.

Yeah, no connection. Just humoring myself. Carry on.

Biker Jesse James, as featured on Sandra Bullock's new window decal.

(By the way...you totally picked the wrong [url=http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_R28BTOUsLvQ/SjEeh5C0fFI/AAAAAAAABiQ/mCyDF1f00WU/s1600/jessie2.jpg]Jess[i]e James to tag[/url]!)

(Train of thought: Jesse James -> Sandra Bullock -> "The Blind Side" -> Sports Movies.)

No wonder he was so fast. Cheater.

nay I just found the juxtaposition of the two tags humorous.

Yeah I understand and could make a few comments, but if we haven't already crossed the no religious and/or political posts, we are definitely standing right at the edge.


Besides I'm trying for a little more good Karma, I'm really wanting a full rack, cause this half a boob is killing me.

That would be the poster for the movie Prefontaine (not to be confused with Without Limits) about the life of the American long-distance athlete Steve Prefontaine.

An interesting side note, his coach at the University of Oregon, Bill Bowerman co-founded Nike, Inc.

Who (Nike) in 2006 gave customers at the Nike Central Flagship store and the Nike Gateway Sport Culture store in Hong Kong a copy of the Gardener meets Steve Prefontaine catalog. This catalog featured a Hong Kong artist known for his illustration and designer toy figures.

The vinyl figures from the artist's Gardener series were wearing the Nike Holiday '06 Heritage Running Products.

Toy maker and artist Michael Lau.

will then you should not have any problem find this tag

The Seventh Anniversary Crylon Series by Michael Lau.

Guess I jumped the gun! I thought your previous response was a turnaround tag itself...a tag within a tag.

Nope, it's not Stonehenge, though it's often compared to it. This 20 ft tall granite monument is inscribed with eight modern languages and four ancient ones. And considering that I'm scooting by, it must be relatively close by. In fact, I can still smell peaches in the air.

(And also considering some of the other pics that popped up when I google imaged it, it seems it's no stranger to controversy.)

FUNNY!! Two thumbs up

Feel free to play.

That would be The Georgia Guidestones.



In June 1979, an unknown person or persons under the pseudonym R. C. Christian hired Elberton Granite Finishing Company to build the structure.

One popular hypothesis is that the patron's pseudonym may be a tribute to the legendary 14th-century founder of Rosicrucianism, Christian Rosenkreuz.

A popular opinion holds that the owner of the Elberton Finishing Company, Mr Joe H. Fendley Sr, built the monument in order to express his own beliefs and at the same time promote the local granite businesses. As stated at the end of a booklet published by his company in 1981, a minimum of further 12 stones could be built if a group of 'conservation-minded' sponsors willing to pay the price could be found. Page 39 of the booklet states that Fendley is a high-ranking Freemason.

Recently it has been the target of vandalism and Elbert County is funding ongoing repair and has installed two video surveillance camera at the site.

Ever get a song stuck in your head?


Chloe jeans has been running a spot in the mornings with this 2005 song from a jazz musician and producer whose two word alias' first word though spelled differently means to move.

Maybe it's the sick kid who's demanded I hold her pretty much all day, or maybe I'm coming down with it myself.

Either way, I think I'm gonna need another hint. I'm hitting a wall.

ok, I'll have mercy on ya, sick kid and all.



add a Chick A to the Boom Boom Boom and that should give you the artist.

And artist will give you the tag.

Good God, man! I would have never gotten that tag without the extra hint. Even after, I inadvertently spelled it "Chicka Boom Boom Boom" for a good five minutes, pulling up nothing but the children's song.

Mocean Worker.

And it's official. I definitely have what the rugrat has. Ughhhhhhhh.

I spent my day holding my fussy, fevered daughter; watching everything from Wife Swap to a Mythbusters marathon because she didn't want me to put her down for even a second; and reading Vroom By the Sea and wishing I was here, this Italian island that Peter Moore describes so idyllically and that, ironically, lends its name to a type of fish now synonymous with "canned", "oily" and "urgh, no thanks, I'll pass."

sorry, my bad

Not your bad. I just need to be more musically aware.

That would be Sardinia (or Sardegna in Italian) the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.

The name Sardinia is a Latin creation possibly based on that of the dominant indigenous ethnic group, called the Sardi/Sardini in Latin, and ultimately may be from the ethnic group of the Shardana.

This one time graffiti artist was well know for telling passersby the he was "With Exterior Surface Painting Outreach, and I'm cleaning up this gate" the official-sounding name, and clever acronym was enough to ward most people off.

He become a full-time studio artist in 2000 and has had a rather impressive showing.

The alt art magazine Juxtapoz wrote in 2007, "In 10 years time, (his) name will reside next to Crumb, Robert Williams, Basquiat, McGee and Warhol as those who truly changed the way art is defined and displayed."


His current project is a deeply moving mural project in Philadelphia about the complexities and rewards of relationships, , titled A ____ _____ for You.

And I'm sure you've had to have written at least one to your wife.

Artist Steve "Espo" Powers, his latest project being A Love Letter For You.

I'm really digging his stuff, by the way. Nice tag.

No need to go easy on me just because I'm hacking up a lung over here!

well just remember you said that

Speaking of art...

I need to find a new barista.

That would be Latte Art.

It is a style of pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso that creates a pattern or design on the surface of the resulting latte.


An interesting note on this tag.

in SafeSearch moderate this is on the first page.

in SafeSearch off this is on the fifth page.


WTF there was nothing but pictures of lattes.

I mean really what did they think I'd find latte bobbies.

Ok this tool (sorry that's the sister channel) went to the Jersey Shore last summer and let MTV follow him and his eight house mates around.

And believe it or not they coming back for a second season.

Maybe this time he can live up to his nick and rep and get some.

The latte boobies were inspired, the Bretuation? When you close your eyes at night, do you see nothing but Heironymus Bosch-style images?

Jersey Shore's resident tool, The Situation.

(Thankfully, I can honestly say I haven't seen a single episode of the show. Hell, I didn't even know who Snooki was until she crashed the Grammys.)
