During the dance, the male spreads his wings and stomps his feet to show his love.....dope......here's more about the Booby!!

Karl Rove. Father. Gold Cock Ring - nuff said!!


This story almost makes all this G.W. shite worth it!! So according to an essay on BME Zine, Louis Claude Rove Jr., adopted father of Karl Rove, "was not only gay, but a part of the early body piercing scene and a regular at 70s piercing parties... There are pictures of him on BME," according to founder of BME Shannon Larratt. Below is an excerpt:

Louie loved his piercings, they made him smile. People who are pierced will understand.

So there on the floor in his library, amid teaching videos on piercings and piles of [Piercing Fans International Quarterly], I listened to one man’s account of his travels through the Los Angeles piercing community in the 70’s and 80’s — the "piercing parties" with folks getting pierced on coffee tables in private homes, nurses that helped, and a guy named Jim. I knew about Jim. I had both my nipples pierced at The Gauntlet.

Louie also knew about play piercings; I wanted to learn and so he taught me. And so between splashing in the pool, brunches, visiting his volunteer list of AIDS patients, eating at all numbers of restaurants, visiting friends who lived around the area, birding at the Salton Sea and eating TV dinners, we explored needles and the effect they have on you.

During the day I was told the names of piercings ... I hated the words but I wanted to know about each kind. To this day I’ve never gotten dydoe because Louie told me it was a hard heal. I never copied Louie’s piercings but I never got them out of my mind. Some years after I last saw him, I found another friend, a professional piercer name Sque3z who took me on another journey recounted on BME. Louie would be proud.

If you can stomach it, check the Rove Sr.'s "alleged" piercings: #1 & #2

Download CLASSIC COMIC BOOKS from the Internet!!


One of the saddest days of my abbreviated childhood was when I came home and asked Momz, "Where my comic books at?" Guess what she said? That's right, she threw them out. She tried to lie and say there was a flood, which had to be bullsh#t because we lived on the 8th floor. But its all good, here's why - the Internet!!

On the Internet there is a large group of people that scan and upload classic and current comics for stunted adults like myself to find. Here's how:

  1. Pull up Google search
  2. Most comics on the Internet have a .cbr or .cbz extension for use with a digital comic reader like CDisplay (Windows) or FFView (MacOS). These are free downloads, so do that now. If not, you can decompress the files and read them in any image viewer. Just rename the cbr extension to rar or the cbz extension to zip and decompress with an application such as 7-Zip or WinRAR
  3. Now look for comics:
    Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics cbr
    or -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics cbz

    The extension is sometimes left alone and kept as a rar or zip file. To look for these files, use these searches:
    Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics rar
    or -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics zip

    For title specific searches, substitute the title for the word comics in your search. Examples:
    -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" spider-man cbr
    and -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" simpsons cbr
While some directories only have a few comix, there are others that will keep you fed for weeks. Thank us later, you've got reading to do!!

Ah, the sacrifices Angelina Jolie makes for her man

Angelina Jolie says, "I've never hidden my bisexuality. But since I've been with Brad, there's no longer a place for that or S&M in my life." Damn......as you already know the 32-year-old hotness admits to carpet munching women in the past, including a 10-year relationship with model Jenny Shimizu, and has also confessed to experimenting with knives during sex. But I guess that's all over now......thanks Brad Pitt......asshole......

Angelina's ex-girl Jenny Shimizu:



What are you thinking about Brad!?!?!

WTF!! - Don't drink and fight bears!!

A 22-year old drunk Ukranian jumped into a bear cage to prove that he wasn't to be f#cked with, even by a bear!! WTF!! Wouldn't you have love to been a fly on the wall for that conversation starter?

"Yeah right, well I bet you couldn't beat a bear?"
"What! Of course I could fuck up a bear! It's only a bear!"
"Ha! I bet you 100 grivna you can't beat a bear!"
"Your on blyadtch!!"

So these assholes go to the local zoo where tough guy climbs over the railings into the bear cage and starts to hit one of them on the leg. To the bear's credit, he tried to be nice about the whole situation. He pushed the man away with a swipe of his paw. But when there's money on the table, you gotta go for broke. So the man hit him again and the bear pinned him to the ground and began mauling him.

Staff managed to drag the man out of the cage and calm the bears down, local daily Ukrainsky Novini reported. Doctors at a hospital in the town where he was being treated said his condition was serious.

Nice find Skribe!! Here's a nicer version of what happened:

Dope Sh#t - Most Expensive Paintings in the World!!!


Ever wonder how much your paintings could really be worth? Check the Top 10 Most Expensive Paintings in the World!! Check some of our faves!! Dope......


1948 by Jackson Pollack ($140,000,000?)

Unconfirmed rumors buzzing in the art world now place this painting at the top of the list, at least temporarily. If true, the $140 million price tag would be the highest ever for a painting, besting the $135 million paid for the Gustav Klimt painting Portrait of Adele Block Bauer in June 2006.










PORTRAIT OF ADELE BLOCH-BAUER by Gustav Klimt ($135,000,000)

This record breaking sale was enabled by a court order by the Austrian government to return the painting to the Artist's rightful heir. The entire dispute lasted over a year and was necessary to return the painting that was looted by the Nazis during World War II.

Skillfully painted in 1907 by the art nouveau master Gustav Klimt, the painting was purchased by Ronald S. Lauder, the cosmetics heir, in 2006



GARCON A LA PIPE by Pablo Picasso ($104,100,000)

Created during the Rose Period, Garcon a la Pipe showcases Picasso's exceptional use of cheerful orange and pink palatte.
The oil on canvas painting, measuring 100 × 81.3 cm (slightly over 39 × 32 inches), displays a Parisian boy holding a pipe in his left hand.

The record price auction at the time on May 4, 2004 in Sotheby's was a bit of a surprise to the core art buyers, because it was painted in the style not usually associated with the pioneering Cubist artist.






MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENTS by Peter Paul Ruebens ($76,700,000)


This painting by Peter Paul Rubens, painted in 1611, is the only painting in this list which was not painted in the 19th or 20th century. It was sold to Kenneth Thomson, 2nd Baron Thomson of Fleet for $ 76,700,000 at a 2002 Sotheby's auction.

WTF!! - Christian Boot Camp Counselors Drag 15yo Girl Behind Van

Arrest warrants have been issued for two officials, Charles Eugene Flowers and Stephanie Bassitt, at Christian boot camp, Love Demonstrated Ministries, of San Antonio, who are accused of dragging a 15-year-old girl behind a van after she fell behind the group during a morning run, authorities said.

The two were accused of tying the girl to the van with a rope then dragging her, according to an arrest affidavit filed Wednesday by the Nueces County Sheriff's Department. Arrest affidavits for Flowers and Bassitt list a $100,000 bond.

Flowers, the camp's director, allegedly ordered Bassitt to run alongside the girl after she fell behind, the affidavit said. When the girl stopped running, Bassitt allegedly yelled at her and pinned her to the ground while Flowers tied the rope to her, according to the affidavit.
