A message for My People from days gone by.


My pal Padre Mickey, who is not one of My People supporting Our Agenda, will still be a pal sometimes and send me a picture of a giant woman he sees as he wanders around the Internets. This is the cover of an LP released by Les Brown and His Band of Reknown back in 1955, the year I was born. The collage work isn't quite up to modern standards, what with the transparency and no shadows, but clearly it is playing on the metaphor of a young woman having the power in a relationship, which is a metaphor we have seen before, yes?

Thanks again to the good Padre for sending this along.

A sixth flavor found!


According to scientists, there were five flavors that made up the sense of taste: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and protein rich. Now a sixth distinct flavor is identified: fatty.

Who could believe that the last flavor science could identify would be the most delicious-est flavor of them all?

Personally, I don't think they have a complete list until they add crunchy, gooey, crispy, melty and tastes like ass.
