So let’s get at it:
…comment from an Italian friend: “You need to boil them first.”
And on that topic: last week’s “Spank That Botty” theme was quite popular, so guess what?
MOAR BOTTY!
I know what y’all are thinking. Stop it. Go to work.

Classic Beauty: Stephanie Beacham
Although she was made famous to American audiences in Dynasty, Stephanie Beacham had already had quite a career beforehand. But who cares? Today, she’s in her sizzling seventies, and looks as good as she always did. Proof? you say? In more-or-less chronological order, then:
As we all remember her in Dynasty — with the big hair:
And nowadays…
(click to embiggen — and note the freckled cleavage!!!!)
Beautiful back then, stunning now.
Hunkering Down
Let’s just assume that you want to escape the coming Collapse / Apocalypse ahead of time, leaving your current abode and fleeing to a place which conceivably might grant you a chance of survival. How to go about finding such a place?
Well, one group took a stab at finding a solution, and it makes for quite interesting reading because of the factors used to qualify/disqualify various areas around the Lower 48. Take a look [warning: it’s a long read, but worth it].

A short one, but a goodie:

If this is it… well, here we go again.
Twofer.
Dave Mason is reported to have absolutely hated the Headkeeper album — he said the record company complied the songs (from studio outtakes) and released it without him even knowing about it. But it’s one of my favorite albums of all time.
If what he says is true… a lot of bands’ best efforts don’t compare with his outtakes. But that’s Dave Mason for ya.
I saw him playing with Fleetwood Mac when they opened for Crosby, Still & Nash. After the concert, the general consensus in the Men’s Room was that his We Just Disagree solo bit during the Fleetwood Mac set was the highlight of the whole concert.
Dept. Of Righteous Shootings
I don’t know why I bother to scan Teh Intarwebz for this kind of thing, because there are always a few Loyal Readers out there who send me glad tidings, such as this one from the Houston area:
Harris County deputies said the man was sleeping in his car because he had just gotten into a fight with his girlfriend.
Authorities said another man who may have had a pistol got into the vehicle and may not have realized the sleeping man was in the truck.
The would-be victim had what the sheriff said was an AR-15 and reportedly shot the man several times. The suspected thief was pronounced dead at the scene. Deputies said the suspect had already stolen from several nearby cars before the shooting.
The shooter reportedly stayed at the scene and was cooperating with law enforcement.
Let us all have a couple minutes’ silence for the dead goblin Our Hero’s eardrums… because nothing says owie like an AR-15 going off in a confined space with no hearing protection — well okay, the boolets (!) are going to make an owie as well at the naughty end, but that’s of no concern to us, and certainly not to the cops, who seem to have the correct attitude towards the whole episode.
“They shouldn’t be out doing it in the first place. I don’t believe that he realized that the reportee was sleeping in this truck before it was too late,” said Sgt. Ben Beall with the sheriff’s office.
One hopes that Our Hero makes a full recovery; the dead goblin won’t, but once again that’s not a problem for anyone except him.
