LOL I love the characters over the guy's head on the right.

His egyptian thought balloon (in a way)

Contrapposto is where it's at. Right up there with Chiaroscuro.

"I feel ready dynamic". har.

How can we be sure the Ancient Greeks didn't suffer from some sort of heritable deformation of the pelvis?

Loved it!

Hey, DBQ, How's your water supply?

Burying democrats.

Hee hee.

That there's funny.

And all they had to do is be conquered by the Greeks.

Still, even the Romans harken to the basics for their refined finest.

Then even those later refinements have their noses busted off eventually for some perverse impulse.

Laszlo Toth, whatever happened to him anyway?

1) he gets away Scott free
2) SNL Father Guido Sarducci named a skit about letters from workers, or something, after him because he liked the sound of his name Laszlo
3) Ken Friedman was writing an oratorio dedicated to Laszlo Toth.

\o/ for DBQ going for the inscriptions. My eye goes straight to those. There is a donkey hieroglyph drawn like that, Gardiner's list E7

Goddamnit! My online cards are gone. The pages are there but the images uploaded to Blogger are gone. All my drawings gone!

Such phrases as "I will take away thy ass, Peasant, because it is eating my corn." The page for the card is there but the picture I drew is gone!

Doesn't come up in Google search either.

What the hell? Why would the pictures disappear? There is nothing of mine in any Google image search. Everything gone. Except the pages.

Thousands of cards. Poof.

(Corn. That's a New World thing. Corn means any granular thing. You see this in Egyptology for some reason.)

I still have the original cards. Just like Joan Rivers. I got the idea to store them reasonably from her. I thought, you know, those cabinets for cards are a very good idea, thanks, Joan.

That's my immediate task sorted. Restore my Gardiner's list site. The donkey stands for the ehah sound same as the wooden column with the pin on the tip to accept a crossbeam. They both stand for the ehah double sound. They are interchangeable signs. Also, as puns go, the two are interchangeable with a penis sign and a bull sign conveying maleness.

But there is no "guy digging a hole with a shovel" hieroglyph, that's what's so funny.

Doesn't Michel Angelo's David have something similar to this pose? A little less exaggerated.

When I was a kid, I suppose is still the same today, selecting a regular stand at the plate was the thing.

Some kids would copy their favorite player.

Rebus for ass hole.

That, or donkey dirt.

I just restored all the cards I have uploaded to Photobucket, from A through R then Photobucket crashed at S.

But I can see there are still tons missing. I don't know how I'm going to reconstruct all that crap or if I even can.

It gives the addresses of the photos on Google but the photo is not there. Google keeps moving things around I cannot keep up with thousands.

Thanks Chip. My first thought about the glyphs over his head was that he was thinking something like donkey crap. Or that he wants to bury that ass in the ground.

@Christy

We are good for water in the area that I am in. Lots of springs and spring fed rivers. For now. Our water table is still holding up. However, If this keeps up for a few more years we may have some issues.

The biggest issue will be if/when the State tries to come in an put water meters on our private wells. Most people are not on public water systems and their only source of water is from their own wells. That will be an UGLY confrontation.
