Friday Ephemera

If Mrs Doubtfire were a horror film. // There’s a boat at the end of the road. // A short film about a man and his big wooden balls. // Monkey orchids. // Autonomous lawnmower. // Painting a whale. // Your weight in outer space. (h/t, Coudal) // A catalogue of cigarette rolling papers. // Taken apart. // A photographic record of the Great Depression. (h/t, Anna) // Prepared face. // Storage for the slightly obsessive. // Ray Bradbury sits in a time machine. // A detailed look at cutting through steel. (h/t, MeFi) // Franklin’s oils. // Watermelons need vodka. // Dining at altitude. // Kuwaiti cleric explains buggery and other works of the devil.

Gosh, this is a pleasant surprise. Thank you for that.

Re: the Kuwaiti cleric, that guy sounded way too interested when he got to the bit about "getting penetrated again and again."

Franklin,

Well I like them, especially the arboretum.

[Franklin]

Thank you, Anna. Obviously I don't expect my work to be to everyone's liking, but sometimes you have to demonstrate to people who they're dealing with.

"Ray Bradbury sits in a time machine"

I love this picture, loved the stories. He will be remembered...

[Rosie]
