Rules for Dwarf-Throwing
1. If a dwarf is thrown through a glass window or glass door, he must wear gloves and a suitable mask.
2. If a dwarf is thrown through a burning hoop, extinguishers must be provided.
3. If a dwarf is thrown down a well, the organizers must ensure that the bottom of the well is dry, and is covered by leaves to a depth of three inches.
4. If a dwarf is to be thrown across the path of an oncoming train, the thrower must previously satisfy the organizers that he bears no personal malice towards the throwee.
5. If a dwarf is thrown into a pond or river, he must wear a wetsuit and need not be tightly bound.
6. If dwarfs are thrown at night, they may be painted with phosphorescent paint, so that the point of impact may be clearly established.
7. If a dwarf refuses to be bound in the usual way before throwing, he may be put in a straightjacket of the requisite size.
8. If a dwarf utters any sound whatsoever, either in flight or at the moment of impact, the throw will be disqualified.
9. If a jockey impersonates a dwarf, and wins a competition because his light weight allows him to be thrown farthest, he will be liable to a fine of £1000 or three years imprisonment.
10. It is strictly forbidden, in dwarf-throwing literature and publicity, to refer to dwarfs as 'persons of restricted growth' or 'small people'.

Rome burns
and our slavery begins
in the alps
ovens of europe
glacier of god
chads opposite
industry was envisioned here in the indomitable glitter
it out proportions the parthenon
the colosseum is not to be compared with it
nor dome nor london bridge bernini bronze nor donatello marble
there is more wealth here than with the bankers of amsterdam
more power than in any boulder dam of heaven
volt crackle and electricity it has invented
buchenwald nagasaki and napalm
it is the frozen first atomic bomb
its factories blaze forth bergs and avalanches
its unships sail down rhine down rhone down po down dan down tiber
to the black sea dead to the world to the red sea of isaias

I believe that the purse I received is a counterfeit purse. I buy alot of Vivenne Westwood items and this to me screams fake. The tag says 'Vivienne Westwood produced by Braccialini' which it should not as authentic Vivienne Westwood items would only be produced by Vivienne Westwood. The paper the wallet is wrapped in is also not authentic Vivienne Westwood paper, you can tell them from the quality and the print on the paper.The colouring of the wallet seems off, I have recently viewed these purses in the store just off Regent Stret in London and they did not look like this. I am very unhappy with the item, and it is against ebay policy to sell counterfiet items.
the seller has replied with this
Please do not make up accusations due to lack of knowledge I offer refunds on ALL my items. But by Braccialini are the people who make vivienne westwood products. Please send back in the same condition for 100% refund
I meant to say Braccialini are the fashion house responsible for Vivienne Westwood products. As soon as I recieve the item, I will refund you including your postage costs but accusing me of selling fakes is absurd. I have over 70+ positive feedback no complaints and its always the ones who pay the least that complain. You paid £30 for a £100 + wallet.
I will be sending the wallet back anyway, but I just wanted to know if anyone thinks theres any truth in what shes saying? The wallet feels, smells and looks very cheap, the finishings are cheap as well. The box its come in has a product code in that thats in chinese I think. Just before I leave her feedback I wanted to know what you guys thought. I've googled the braccialini company and there site is really slow to load. I feel that even if Braccialini do make the company, would the tags on the purse have that on it?? Confused.com
my boyfriend and i are looking to move to london next year and we're having a speculative browse around some areas we might want to move to. we're looking at studio/1 bed flats but i don't understand how the rent works if we're sharing.
say for instance, there's a 1 bed flat listed as £160pw, is this per person, making it really £320pw? or would it be £80pw each because there's 2 of us in a 1 bed place? likewise, if the rent is listed as £700pcm, is this then divided by 2?
tia :)
I meant to post this earlier but was side-tracked.
Canadian politics aren't really known for grand speeches that everyone remembers like American politics is. In light of yesterday, this is a speech that most Canadians know about. A Classy speech from a classy lady.( Eulogy for Canada's Unknown Soldier )
If you’ve ever done a road trip or been on a Greyhound bus, you know that bathrooms can totally and utterly fail. Whether it looks like the toilet hasn’t been cleaned in decades or that the bathroom looks like it belongs in the movie Candyman, we FAILers are smart enough to know that there are some bathrooms you just completely avoid. Here is a sampling of some epic bathroom fails that you should add to your “do not visit” list.

I'm reading 'The Hive: The Story of the Honeybee and Us' by Bee Wilson which describes the history of honey, honeybees and the human relationship to them. Honey has been described as the food of the gods and that honeybees could gather it (they didn't understand it was bee spit back then) because they were human souls reincarnated which seems like an impossibly lovely thing to believe. Less tasty are the stories about how honey was used to perserve dormice by the Romans and beeswax was used to reviginise ladies of ill-repute.
She also talks about all the wonderful different types of honey and how they are also affected by the flowers and place they are made. I'm going on a search for some tupelo honey tomorrow! I've only had acacia which apparently is a very mild honey...but I love the idea of how you can taste the place honey came from when you eat it.
This got me thinking about how many other foodstuffs that people claim to be conessiours of so my question is: what are your food passions? What combinations make you curl up your toes in bliss? Do you make your own jam or brew your own beer (or mead!)? What makes you go 'hmmm'? Are these things seasonal or not?

- HOW DOTH THE LITTLE CROCODILE
--Lewis Carroll
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!
- My father passed away this Monday and in an hurried attempt to create the funeral service that he deserves before my time up, I am putting together the booklet thing. The funeral director gave me two or three pages of terrible, cliche poems to put on the front of the thing but I looked them over and can't imagine any of them being worth much other than a Hallmark card. So, if you kind people would help me out in my time of need. I am looking for a poem, doesn't matter how long or how short that is about the longing of loved ones, the end of suffering, the afterlife, etc. Thank you.
I'd really like to get a tattoo of "Mummy Boy" from Mummy Boy by Tim Burton. However, my biggest problem is that I would like to get it as close to the drawings as I can but I'm affraid of it coming out looking very wonky. Do you think that this drawing could be worked into a tattoo without losing his original design of it? This is the poem: http://homepage.eircom.net/~sebulbac/bur
( A bigger picture of MB )
so i've been thinking of a tattoo with a quote from a tree grows in brooklyn.

There's been a lot of discord in the online art journal community lately. I've been censored recently by another member. It sucks. I'm tired of it and so I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but life is too short to spend it angry at the stupidity of others and their misdeeds.
I first drew the image on the right, masked it out and used spray inks on the page.
The bombs were a stencil I cut of thick cardstock. I used liquatex black lava medium to make the image- scraped through the stencil to create the shape. I let them dry and then pained the body with silver metallic ink.
The face is done in the same technique as the sheep was- graphite with acrylic paint. The padlock was painting the same manner then given a thin coat of the metallic ink. The "blood" around the wounds is watered liquid acrylic.
The spatter was done in the same watered acrylic paint the liner brush was loaded up and tapped on another brush to spatter. To create a similar but less linear spatter use a wider brush

The burning desire to live and roam free
It shines in the dark
And it grows within me
You're holding my hand but you don't understand
So where I am going, you won't be in the end
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?
In front of the Dairy Queen, she gave me my first kiss
I was just ten years old, so I never knew
She was teaching me how to love you
After the high school dance, in my ol' man's car
Holdin' Carol Ann, I tried to go too far
When she said "no", I didn't have a clue
She was teaching me how to love you
Every hand we hold, every bridge we burn
Every story told was another lesson learned
A few years ago, I met jill one night
Man I loved her so, but I didn't treat her right
When she left me there with my heart broke in two
She was teaching me how to love you
Every hand we hold, every bridge we burn
Every single story told is another lesson learned
So if I should glance in your rearview mirror
At every failed romance that brought you here
Honey, I can't be hurt by what I see
They were teaching you how to love me
They were teaching you how to love me

Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice."

'Forgive me, distant wars, for bringing flowers home.'
-Wislawa Szymborska
In the Kashmir Mountains,
my brother shot many men,
blew skulls from brown skins,
dyed white desert sand crimson.
'Were there flowers there?' I asked.
This is what he told me:
In a village, many men
wrapped a woman in a sheet.
She didn't struggle.
Her bare feet dragged in the dirt.
They laid her in the road
and stoned her.
The first man was her father.
He threw two stones in a row.
Her brother had filled his pockets
with stones on the way there.
The crowd was a hive
of disturbed bees. The volley
of stones against her body
drowned out her moans.
Blood burst through the sheet
like a patch of violets,
a hundred roses in bloom.
Whether it's true or not - everything on her website has been price-slashed. It's still expensive, but there are some vaguely affordable things.
What do you guys think? Personally, I'm really upset! I loved her label and I was looking forward to more collections in the years to come :(
I just thought I'd let everyone know, seeing as there are still a range of sizes available.
They were flat boots with a tiny heel, y'know. Black shiny patent QUILTED just below the knee boots. They were gorgey and now I rully need them in my life.
I'm off to London next week once my night shifts are over so if anyone knows that'd be grand. Many thanks!
