St. Anthony Tortured By Devils
This is one of my favorite paintings ever. It was painted in 1423 by Sassetta. Not a very good image, but I just wanted to look at it today. Almost anything with wooden club torture, naughty devils, and snarling faces makes me smile. Beat him, devils! Beat him until he submits!

It is lovely, this torture in a barren landscape. The victim is calmly elsewhere, submitting to the badness. All is harmonious.
You are a sicko. But I like this painting.
this painting is astonishingly good, MM! The devils are gently and lovingly applying their atrocities. It is soothing.
sassetta likes to krunk it up!
Gentle atrocities are coming into and onto the calm ascetic. Poignant is the stiffness of his beard. Loving is the club action. Gray is gunlike and sallow but happy.
There is gore everywhere. I like the bloody gore. Gore is good.
what the?
I agree Krix. What on earth.
That French F***er stole my poodle pic idea. Damn. I guess it was not mine but still. Tarnation.
is crew koos Fabeebles in disguise?
He deserves the double-snake treatment.
ooops, I meant les fabeebles
MM, if Ned's had a celebrity poker invitational, who would you invite?
Krix that is a wonderful question. I am ruminating. Let's see...
1. Alice Cooper
2. Animal from the Muppets
3. Bea Arthur
4. Chuck Woolery
5. Radha Mitchell (because there always has to be one babe and I have a crush on her)
I may want to have several simultaneous poker games going so I can invite more celebrities. This is fun.
What about Charles Nelson Reilley?
Wait who is that again?
Is he a babe?
I forgot to specify that Bea Arthur would have to be topless.
charles Nelson Reiley was on Match game. he was a freak. a lovable freak.

Oh that guy. I spent many hours with him as a chld watching daytime tv. I miss bad game shows. I can't watch them now but I used to kind of love them. Especially reruns of older ones. There was one, hosted by Burt Convy, where everyone had to wear these horrible large earphones. I don't remember the name of it. I liked Card Sharks and the one where they said "Big Bucks...no whammy"
I prefer the whammy to come though. Come on whammy. Get me.
how about Data from Star Trek? He seems like a poker champ, but he can't read the emotions and nuances of the players very well. This would lead to much hilarity.
Yes Data would be good, especially sitting next to Animal.
Oh my God, that whammy game. It's so annoying but captivating. As a kid I really loved the Price is Right. Family Feud. How bout a tard family feud? think about that. or a tard reality show....
I bet Christopher Reeve would have been good at poker.
I will be hit by lightning later today.
yes, drastic, and he was always sitting around anyway.
YES FB! Tard anything would be so wrong but so good. We are bad people.
The Price is Right was kind of the best one. I loved the showcase showdown. And that beeping wheel they would spin.
Hall and Oates could just be one player. I would like that.
Bea Arthur's knockers are hot.
I saw Corky on an airplane recently. Both on my way out and on my way in. He seemed good, highly functional, if a balding a little.
I also think that the Runaway Bride would be good at poker. Her eyes are very distracting.
How about Rog from What's Happening. He could be good in the poker game. Or his little sister Dee. She might be better.
Ooooooooo Rog....your in trouble.
celebrity tard family feud?
Maybe we should ask Chaka to play poker too?
Yes Chaka should definitely come. Good one, FB. Everyone with high foreheads should be in one game.
Don't invite Sleestack. He's a boor.
You need a celebrity dog playing poker... Spuds McKenzie, maybe?
celebrity dogs playing poker. Yes! Brilliant and inspired. There could be Lady, The Tramp, Benji, The shaggy DA, Spuds MacKenzie, Beatrice the temperamental weimeraner from Best in Show. Oh I'm sure there are more I can think of.
Goofy can not come. Whoever said goofy is a dog needs to get off the pipe. Goofy is not a dog, nor is he goofy.
I am satan on a good day!! :)
the infectation is spreading. we are all doomed.
hp, where is your wineskin?
I...I..(cough,cough)...think I am dying...
i am taking the silver pouch out of my box of wine to make it more portable. I will keep it in the overhead compartment with straws dangling for consumption - one for me and one for guests. no one will guess what is going on.
Oh, wouldn't that be great: "In case of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, a straw will descend from above you. It will provide you with a constant flow of the booze of your choice."
now I am snorting/laughing. sorry FB. I am not like the snorter.
I have hunks of the jerkied beef stuck between my teeth. My tongue will not stay in my mouth, I cannot understand this.
My beard is blackened from the dirts of the city. I am a trampoline for pigeons and bugs. My nose continues its dripping patterns on my chin.
I am swollen from eating too much soda and snickers. I will not stop my consumptions.
Horst is beyond repair. However I am willing to help whoever else needs fixing. I have an array of tools that I can wield upon any of you.
I could use a good fixing on my groin area. It is not exactly broken, but palpated and trashy.
Grayness is my anti-oxidant. Some say that the leaky boat is a danger to self but I have witnessed its friendliness in relation to the shores. I am still adrift, still wanting, still consumed by sadness without reason.
yes mm. why?
There was no party. Just a raptoring, a snarling, a roping of the region. As though there was a rodeo taking place there. It was uncomfortable and induced by nothing. I blush.
That sounds suspicious. Were you lassoing yourself? I think you were, naughty boy.
Ok, I admit, it was induced by the treacherous Mr. Dank. I did not want to reveal it. There was a loosening of morals that occurred in my bedroom just now.
I feel soiled.
oh oh oh thanks hammy.
I am working through my gender confusion identity pathway issues.
