The Conquistador's Picture Of The Day

I like Catwoman's ass myself but if Batgirl had a boner I'd definitely be interested!

This was in today's "headlines" on CNN. This is "news"? "He says he became addicted to porn at age 12." The story almost sounds like some of the silly warnings from the 1700's and 1800's about the "evils of self-pollution." They also promote the site "NoFap.com."

Twelve? Just wondering what took him so long?

I played football at Purdue. In the "Dream Girls" thread we've been having fun over Purdue's "creepy" mascot. Admittedly, Purdue hasn't exactly had overwhelming success in sports. Although it has produced some good players and a few HOF Quarterbacks (Drew Brees anyone?). Purdue calls itself the "cradle of quarterbacks." "Cradle?" I also have a degree in Industrial Management from there. And a Doctorate from, umm... that other school in Indiana. I teach Business Analytics at a small local private university and own a Market Research firm. Maybe I should help them out?

So, what’s in a mascot anyway? I like this “Purdue Pete” much better than the others. At least he looks like he’s been working out. Make fun of him and he will kick your ass. And the phrase “Boiler Up” actually is “Boiler The Fuck Up.” Yes! Really. But they can’t say that. Well they could… Maybe they should… And they should make use of the Train logo more (read the story behind it). Go for it!

Admittedly the ‘Bama logo and mascot is pretty tough to beat. “Crimson Tide.” And a fucking pissed off elephant! Badass! Their motto is "Where legends are made." What do you think? There’s a reason they’re ranked #1 right now. IMHO only Clemson has something to say about that.

The last picture: Clemson’s new $55 million football facility. They are so good they could probably use “Willy Wonka” as a mascot and still kill everybody. Their motto is "All In."

(Sorry couldn't help adding this... This post may be the only place you will see Purdue next to Alabama and Clemson. My advice to the Boilers? Look at what these other guys do. And keep trying. Plus WE have Neil Fucking Armstrong. Let that sink in. And the guy who used to light barbecues with liquid oxygen. )

But my doctor already does this. Not once a day thankfully.

(Maybe I should start seeing "Dr. Chanel"? )

Purdue takes “Pete” very seriously. Maybe too seriously.

This is from the Fall 2017 “ATEC” Journal of Engineering. In another post I made reference to “3D printed heads.” Well Purdue is an engineering school before anything else and they really do model his heads that way.

You would think they could "reverse engineer" and “3D Print” an entire NCAA National Championship Football team. Let’s see Alabama or Ohio State do that…

Purdue is known for some weird stuff. Long before I went there, they got a bit of early Internet “fame” as one of their professors posted videos of himself lighting a barbecue at one of the parks in Lafayette using Liquid Oxygen.

Eventually, so the story goes, the Fire Department told him to cut it out. You can still find pictures and video out there but most of it goes back to about 1995 or so and is very poor quality by today’s standards.

Would have been awesome to take my volleyball player friend Blake to one of these cookouts except 1) We lived in Detroit then… 2) I was like 12… and 3) She wasn’t born yet...

Stopped at the store on the way home...

Always good to wash and dry your hands. But that sign is actually giving me ideas... Wonder what that would feel like?

Yes that's me. I don't know about you but I don't think I look like I was "Born Before 1985."

Of course I took my girlfriend along.
