Shave? !
“We don’t need no stinking shaves.”
” creepy…………”
Piltdown Mann can actualy sit?
“Mann’s head is so far up his arse he can’t sit down properly”
Mann – “What a beautiful mirror”
Bastardi – “I’m not seeing it.”
OK Joe, time to eat.
Something from all the hot and cold courses I think, except the medieval cooling selection – not sure what all that is about.
Joe, this seat needs to be adjusted
Chalk and mouldy cheese.
Fat man and Robin.
MM: Dumb denierr!!
JB: Bald liar!!
Photographer: Look here for a second and pretend you’re having fun
my precious
gnomish
Wkd!
Caption this photo? I dare not!
The words that keep leaping onto the page are:
“Bastardi and Bastard”
And proper etiquette keeps me trying to delete them.
Out, damn’d spot! out, I say!
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them.

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. Isaiah 11:6

Another caption: Michael Mann, asks while puzzled: “What is this — we have to pay for this meal?”
Hide the recline!
Make love to the camera Mike; make love to the camera!
Hmm, Mann wears his watch on his right wrist. That’s telling.

If Mann is finally becoming civilized….
The Emperor attempts to turn Joe to the “Dark Side”.
“Woah, that’s some good stuff. Coulda sworn for a minute I was sitting down to eat with some climate deenyah.”
“Woah, that’s some good stuff. Could sworn for a minute Michael Mann was picking up my tab.”
I’d love to see those two in one of those public library “READ” posters, with a copy of “Earth in the Balance” in front of Bastardi and “The Great Global Warming Swindle” in front of Mann, and them giving each other’s reading material disbelieving looks.

Observe the rays of light radiating from between the two heads as they are forced to meet. This betrays the incipient energy release of a mutual annihilation event.
Who’s albedo is biggest?
… to the tune of that 60s rock song “Dragging’ the Line” with me dancing around out in the woods and then a singing pine tree comes in and in perfect harmony sings “hide the decline” (hide the decline). It’s hilarious. I love that video…
