    Holy fuck, it is.

    Why is he holding a Mark Twain marionette?

    This looks like one of those fake fairy photos that bamboozled Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and so many others. At least that’s how it looks to me.

    Also, Mark Twain in a smock.

    Also, if there were a dictionary illustration of the phrase “ill-fitting suit,” this would be a contender.

    I think the suit is fine, he just had an ill-fitting body.

    How do you like the marionette’s smock?

    The marionette needs to be moving–like that goat.

  8. Sheila Ryan on June 14th, 2011 at 6:08 pm

    Yes, Daryl! Somebody get that marionette a-goin’! A-goin’ for all time.

    August 26, 2011: We should celebrate the anniversary of the day Derek showed us that goat and we came to know it would just keep on a-goin’.

    The ‘goat’ you keep talking about isn’t this thing, is it?

  11. Sheila Ryan on June 14th, 2011 at 6:51 pm

    Joel! That thing is nasty. The goat is a Sicilian goat. Courtesy: Derek White. A uniformed monkey rides it. And that makes all the difference.

    i’m not sure where that goat came from, it wasn’t until a few months ago i went to Sicily, and the goats i saw were lazing about in armchairs. speaking of sicily, i hear they are selling off old estates there for $1 since everyone has fled. site for clusterflock iii (or iv)?

    in regards to Einstein’s tight trousers, remember it’s all relative, that was the fashion of the day.

    And yes, that sheep is a disgusting animal, never to be confused with a goat.
