I hereby and henceforward and thither and thus would like to introduce you all to the very-very-new-and-hip-and-now FangFriends.com – the project of miss Calamity J., a dear friend whose fanged-illustrations are a seamless ballet of bloody delightfulness. In return for some basic wordpress-setup/design, she has created the following NSTGD portrait:

i love it so, so much.  and I encourage everyone to draw their own gift-donkey portrait.

Extinct, my ASS! from The Original Joe Fisher on Vimeo.

Oh how I wish I were one of those kids*. And/or the Museum of Natural History employee who came up with this. Also, can I get a collective paleontology-nerds ‘hells-yeah!’ for the feathers?  Thank you to dear-and-not-near-enough rickmonkey for sharing.

*with the exception of living under parental control again, puberty and basically the entire middle-school experience.

I saw this lovely stop-motion video over at poppytalk, called “western spaghetti”, and besides being the winner of my weekly Whimsy Award ™, it also reminded me that I have not yet in the history of NSTGD sung the praises of spaghetti western movies, specifically, my favorite, Trinity is STILL my Name!, which is the sequel to They Call Me Trinity.  So, well, it’s super funny, it’s Italian, his horse’s saddle is a lounge-chair.
