This Klimt painting, Adele 1, sold for 135 million dollars in 2006...second most expensive painting of all time (Jackson Pollock is #1 at 140 million...and i don't get that at all)

Alo, Shell. Alo Nick.
It's another coincidence! You started me on a roll I've wanted to go along with in the 'Longest', but I got caught up in conversations instead, so I held it off until a new page. But, I can get it started here instead. For whatever reason, over the years, I've accumulated an inordinate amount of these types of pictures, and in such weird fashion: pink bunny (world destroyer) 37800952_p.jpg

meaty
for whatever reason, all the pictures posted above, (save for number 2) look to be appetizing yet still kinda gross.  Meaty Legend @ Gino's by troutherders Italian Sausage, Pepperoni, Canadian Bacon, and Bacon for good measure. Its meaty! (the user above is not a pro, so his picture could break anytime he leaves; therefore, insurance) Meaty Legend

"The Goat Man" -- I kinda like history of pictures
Goat Man
 The Goat Man by jade19721 From Dictionary.com | Find the Meanings and Definitions of Words at Dictionary.com a chimera is described as the following: This is best viewed large so you can read about The Goat Man chi·me·ra Audio Help /kɪˈmɪərə, kaɪ-/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ki-meer-uh, kahy-] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun, plural -ras. 1. (often initial capital letter) a mythological, fire-breathing monster, commonly represented with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. 2. any similarly grotesque monster having disparate parts, esp. as depicted in decorative art. 3. a horrible or unreal creature of the imagination; a vain or idle fancy: He is far different from the chimera your fears have made of him. 4. Genetics. an organism composed of two or more genetically distinct tissues, as an organism that is partly male and partly female, or an artificially produced individual having tissues of several species. I'm going to go with # 2 because the Goat man is supposedly made up of different animal parts depending on the legend and in what region. Submitted for August's TMSH # 4 - Gargoyle or Chimera (kinda close to you BadNick, don't you think?)

carcasses in the air
 Another weapon used against Fort McHenry, which is not mentioned in Francis Scott Key's poem, was the carcass. It was the fireball of Captain David Prince's bomb ship, HMS Volcano. The Volcano was one of five bomb ships employed by the British during the naval bombardment of Fort McHenry on 13-14 September 1814. Like the bomb shell, the carcass was a hollow cast iron spherical shell weighting 190 pounds. It differed from the exploding bomb in that it was intended to set buildings on fire. It also proved useful at night, as the projectile, while burning, assisted in aiming other shells. Instead of one vent hole for a single fuse, the carcass had three openings, each three inches in diameter. It was filled with an incendiary composition that upon firing burned for eleven minutes. The Historical Record In the late evening hours of September 13th, the final entry in the Volcano's log for that day indicated the number of shells expended since 12 Noon: "10 [pm] heavy rain with squalls, furled sails, firing at intervals. Midnight rain. Fired 72 13-inch & 70 10-inch shells & 4 carcasses" With a total of 146 shells thrown in a twelve hour period, HMS Volcano alone had expended shells of 10 and 13-inch caliber, at intervals of one every five minutes. A survey of the other bomb vessels showed no entries indicating the carcasses had been used. If the British had captured Fort McHenry and sailed past the Fort, the carcass would have been used to set Baltimore afire. During the centennial observance in 1914, one of the Volcano's four carcasses was mounted on a granite pedestal which may be seen today alongside the 1814 powder magazine. This serves as a reminder of what may have happened if the events of September 1814 had turned in favor of the British. |

 It took me at least 25 minutes of vehement searching before I finally figured out where I saved this photo.

this is a good example of "stretching" and "improvising" the pictures' connection with masterful key words:

"Hairy" chickens
 Allow me to introduce two of my "hairy" chickens, Butch the Americauna and Marlon the Bantam Araucana. If you look closely, you will see that Butch has a beard, and Marlon has "hairy" tufts sticking out from each side of his face (and no tail) - common traits for each type of bird. Butch and Marlon get the run of the yard, because they're BAD chickens (not much of a punishment, but I'm not building a whole second coop and fenced yard for them). Butch has personal issues and thinks she's a boy. One day she stopped laying eggs and began crowing. When she started beating up all the other hens, she got "exiled." At about the same time, Marlon decided he didn't like being the Number 2 banty roo, and began slugging it out with Caesar, his older brother, so out he went, too. They sleep in the greenhouse and follow me around when I do yardwork. Obviously, around here it pays to be a shit! |

Chickens are awesome, with such odd and interesting personalities. First thing I did when I bought my first house was order chicks, which arrived here three days after I did.
 A few weeks later, I painted the front door purple. Haven't regretted any of it!  Although.... I came home after dark last night and discovered that three of my hens weren't in the coop and had somehow escaped their fenced yard. After searching around, I found one outside and two in the garage. Today's chore: find their escape route and close it up. *sigh* No rest for the wicked! |
