Podbury.

A stone head depicting my high school history teacher Mr. Podbury was unearthed in a Cupar garden. “Top experts” have no idea who carved the head, but agree it’s “very, very old”. I called Podbury to see if he could shed any light on the matter. When he answered I told him I was with the utility company, there was a gas leak, and he needed to open all his doors and windows then flush his toilet ten times. Some people never change I guess.

    "Top experts" no doubt also agree that the head depicts someone of "high status."
    Possibly a Pictish history teacher, in this case.

    A lot easier to teach history in those days, because there was less of it.

    You could've asked him if his refrigerator was running, and if he said yes tell him he better go catch it.

    Because where you live now you can't dig up amazing things in your yard?

    For me, the brow furrows are what really make that sculpture work.

    More than that I miss planting amazing things in other people's yards.

    Ha ha. Practical jokes with a delay are the best.

    You had a Podbury, Edward? Maybe Podburys are a separate species, who since ancient times has walked among us, observing, and sometimes teaching history to indifferent human teenagers.

    I think this is the head sculpture that every amateur makes. As I recall I attempted to make a sculpture, out play dough, of my father when I was fourteen and it turned out EXACTLY like this one of Mr. Podbury.

More Brief Reviews of Movies I haven’t Seen

Brokeback Mountain: A love affair between a pair of homosexualist cowboys ends tragically when one is killed by a horse . The actors playing the leads are (supposedly) straight. Includes graphic sex scenes. If you are into this sort of thing stay home and rent the spaghetti western Django Kill...If You Live, Shoot! instead, it's a weird and entertaining film that includes an honest depiction of homosexualist cowboys - an entire gang of them. Memoirs of a Geisha: A trio of Chinese honeys infiltrates Japan by disguising themselves as whores. The potential of the premise squandered, as unlike the homosexualist cowboy film Memoirs of a Geisha is only PG-13. The Producers: A pair of real life homosexualists (Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane) portray heterosexual Broadway musical impresarios. Notice the pattern. Do you understand 'Hollywood logic' works now? King Kong: I’ve decided the old-style stop-motion animation is better than tedious modern CGI effects. The latter mechanical...

Misc. Hate

A Mustiphino has been spotted wandering the halls of Congress. The deranged babblings of an SPLC apparatchik inspired me to coin the word hatefact . Hatefacts are unquestionable facts about immigrants , blacks , women , homosexualists , et al., that the SPLC and those sharing its ideological inclinations deem “hate” or “hateful” to mention. UPDATE: It seems I unwittingly stole the idea for the word hatefact from Peter Brimelow, who used the term “hate facts” in a speech last November .
