Blakeley just became a whole lot cooler in the AntiKris book….

Ditto, though I bet your pages are stickier than mine.

The cover of Complete Discography should have been brown.

Not to take anything away from the mightiness of Captain Sullenberger, but all have walked away from a water landing before. Including the purser. And in some ways, this story is even more insane.

If one is faffing about with photographs for one’s own amusement, what better place to start than Google’s fantastic Life Magazine archive?

youngmanhattanite:

Not really sure how to close out the year on this here Tumblr but you can’t go wrong with The Misfits. This is the Horror Business 7” EP. (Some of you, Eli and the younger ones, can read what that means on Wikipedia.) Each track is a gem: Horror Business / Teenagers From Mars / Children In Heat.

Seconded, dear Krucoff.

In lieu of recorded Thorns of Life material, this will have to do. That said, I’ve always loved Aaron’s New York songs — especially Cleveland Bound Death Sentence’s “Between the Lions.” Look it up and be glad.

this was a real ad for valium

You don’t even want to know how much of this stuff I swallowed just to get through Christmas family gatherings… and I barely made it even then. No joke.

That ad is hilarious, though…She may never marry! Quick, somebody give her some valium!

But at least she had a goddamn purser!

According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Science, no practical use for the aeolipile was found at the time of its invention. This makes the aeolipile similar to the clay bird of Archytas, which was also steam propelled but evidently made of wood.

Okay, I’m pissed. First of all, I am not flying supersonic, but that is not all that galls me. Watch this video. Pneumatic tubes! Men with jet packs! Three movies at once! Meanwhile, not only do I not have an electronic valet to clean and press my clothes on my way to Lima, but I do not even have a goddamn purser. Where is the future we were promised! Indian givers!

Obviously, toy monster trucks that are actually real monster trucks fulfill both sides of the manchild jolly-tweaking binary.

Hydropneumatic spheres are our friends. Much, much higher rad quotient than say, basketballs. Maybe not quite as cool and scary as Sputnik, but very close.

People did not like that man Max Ernst. But I would really, really like a print of “Trophy, Hypertrophied” to hang on my wall. Dada. Dada. Dada. Dada. Dada. Dada. Dada. Dada. Dadadada-dadadada. Dadadada-dadadada. Dadadada-dadadada. Dadadada-dadadada. Dadadada-dadadada. Dada.

99op:

Boeing’s Sonic Cruiser Revived - Back before I was a car nut, I was a plane nut. In 2003, Boeing had released the first images of their close to super sonic passenger airliners. It was no Concorde, but it was planned to go from NY to L.A. in 4 hours. Thats about an hour and a half faster than any modern commercial plane today. It had to be sub-sonic - let’s not forget it is still illegal to break the sound barrier in the United States. In 2005 though, Boeing dropped its plans for the Sonic Cruisers. Times weren’t right. But guess what turned up at the U.S. Patent office earlier this year? Yup - The Sonic Cruiser is being revived. Now with stadium like seating.

Yes. I am talking about this. This is what I am talking about. The promise of flight. The promise of the motherfucking future.

I’m a sucker for a good flag. I live in the state with the best flag in the union. And I think this is a good flag. I would take residence under this flag. I would put this flag on a mustard-yellow Alpine A110 and drive it all over the place, representing.
