The Conquistador's Picture Of The Day

Many, many, years before my time clowns were popular on local Detroit TV. My mom said she was terrified of this one. Don’t blame her. Does he “creep you out” too? He does me. The last pic is from a psychology website. Interesting comparison…

Back in grade school… We have a substitute teacher today. He is dressed like a clown. “Today, class, we will continue long division” he says with an evil grin. Most of the class is terrified as he writes a problem on the board. “You have one minute.”

Sitting next to me is my best friend ila, both of us snicker at the seemingly simple problem written on the board. In seconds we have solved it. Just to be sure, ila uses his slide rule to verify the answer. It is correct.

Raising our hands he calls on ila who confidently gives the answer. “That’s what I got too” I say.

“How many of you got what Andy and ila got?” the teacher says mockingly.

Most of the class raise their hands. But, too late, it’s actually a trick—a trap!

“No. You are all WRONG” so you all FAIL! HaHaHaHaHaHaHa…”

(Sorry but that’s what the picture of Milky made me think of. Don’t know what this really was. Probably some kind of magic trick. Have to believe it couldn’t be as easy as it seemed. Wonder what Milky’s “solution” was? After waking up from this bad dream, I fall asleep again. This time Harley Quinn is my teacher. For some reason, in this dream I am grown up and in my 30's. I have been a bad boy so she has kept me after class for detention. We are alone in the classroom. As she walks seductively towards my desk I can see the outline of her hardening cock beneath her tight, short, satin mini-skirt... )

God, I bet that's expensive...

(But can I get ESPN?)

This is what I’d like to have if I ever took up drums again. I did a little research and it’s a 1978 Ludwig “Octa Plus” kit. The shells are stainless steel. Notice they are single headed. Twelve drums, double bass… the excesses of the 70’s and 80’s. Awesome! Why am I thinking of “Rush” and Neil Peart?

Anyway, it looks great for a set that’s older than me. Wish I looked that good.

Can’t imagine how loud it would be. Also there was no price listed. Sure it’s part of a collection. I would think they might take my “ZR-1” as a trade. Even 40 years ago all that would have cost several thousand USD.

Also no cymbals, stands, pedals, hi-hat, etc. Besides my wife would never let me bring that thing into our house. Even down in our basement you could hear that clear to Chicago.

Decided I was right in the first place with the "Spiderman" drumset.

Found one on Amazon right away (Shit, no wonder Bezos is a Zillionaire! ).

Here are the "technical specs":

Reig Spiderman Drum kit 5-Piece

Price: $46.94

International product from outside the United States.

High-quality drum set for children, robust plastic body.

Audio / video motivation: Learning, Entertainment, Musicality.

Suitable for children 3 years and up. (That's me... )

Box contents: 5-piece spiderman drum kit consisting of bass drum, cymbals, 2 side drums, 2 drums on separate stands, professional pedals, poles and stool. (Me: "Professional" pedals? I bet they're just like Dave Lombardo from Slayer uses. Speaking of Slayer I could order two sets at that price and have "double bass." )

Now I just need to get in touch with Jen to sign up for lessons.

You know Miley is like one of my biggest celebrity crushes of all time. You should probably read the post on her I made in the "Drag Queens" thread. It explains a lot.

But did you know she invited me to perform on stage with her during the "Bangerz" tour?

Hayley did during Paramore's recent tour as well but she told me to "put some pants on."

The 2020 Koenigsegg Jesko allegedly can reach a top speed of over 300mph (482.803kmh), faster even than the Bugatti Chiron, according to TopGear.

Its heavily modified version of the Agera’s 5.0 litre twin-turbo V8 produces 1,578bhp and 1106lb ft of torque from E85 biofuel.

Price: $3 million USD. The verdict? “Sex on wheels.”

This thread might be a better place for these although two of them definitely qualify as "dream girls."

I told you they're up to 1987 now with these ads. So this guy is 33??? And he lives in Zionsville? Damn, I must look pretty good for my age cause I'm older than that. What's next? "Born before 2001?"

"Cannabis Investing" seems to be the big thing right now. I hate drugs and really wouldn't have anything to do with it legal or not. But she could explain it to me anytime... In fact I can think of lots of things we could do.

And in the immortal words of Hermey the Elf from "Rudolf": "I want to be ...a Dentist!"
