More Onion

Sort of tying the recent subjects together, the Onion combines Obama and Conan to very funny results. As someone who read all Howard's Conan books when much younger, I approve.

An Onion Pic

This was in The Onion a long time ago. Link: http://www.theonion.com/content/news/u_s_to_re_hang_saddam_hussein

Yeah, it's old but I still laugh.

More Comic Fun

Here we are, one of the worst movies ever, from the category of they didn't mean it to stink. This is from the comic book. He sure looks like a Mongol, eh?

W.C. Fields

Only I would make this connection. A friend sent a youtube link showing some ball tricks by Kaka. Good stuff but it reminded me of W. C. Fields' juggling. It's worth watching.

The Vikings

Instead of making movies out of comic books, they used to make comic books out of movies. This is for one of the worst movies ever, The Vikings, starring those clearly Nordic gentlemen Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis and Ernest Borgnine. There's also a comic book for The Conqueror, another of the worst movies ever. I've got a pic of that and will upload soon.

Radah Cox

My grandmother was a teacher-at the time in Kansas, teachers couldn't be married. I believe this was from when she was teaching in Overland Park, probably Overland Park Elementary. She's in the front row, third from the left. This would have been taken in the late '20s.

How About One For The Horse?

WWI cavalryman, complete with spear. Or lance, I suppose. I don't know what army this guy was in but it seems weird to me that he's dressed up in his gas mask but his horse isn't. So if you ride off into a gas attack by the enemy, odds don't favor the horse. Not that I've ever seen a gas mask for a horse.

Useful Advice

Don't know the source, but it's a smart move to print this and have it someplace where it's available for quick reference.

Back-Abdullah the Butcher

Yeah, it's been seven months. Been busy but I actually received an email about something here and realized that maybe there's a reader or two. So ... back during the campaign, what with all that X the Whatever stuff, I was terribly unhappy that I never heard the GOP candidates mention Abdullah the Butcher. Maybe it's because he was born in Canada.

Anyway, through the fabulous market that is eBay, I bought the autograph that you see in the pic. I especially like the "Mr." part although I think it'd be even better as "Mr. Abdullah T. Butcher".
