All blown up big like that, somehow she looks like someone left over after the end of a big celebration, looking around for the bus to take her home. Panties and all.

Shat is a word that is not used enough anymore – if ever. I just enjoy seeing it in print. Smote is another favorite.

Gah. This is not something my egalitarian soul likes to hear. But after all, maybe there’s a reason every culture that ever lasted long enough for us to hear about it later was in some ways patriarchal…

Actually, just the word “Liberty” has to appear on our coins, not the goddess. But the goddess has been on most of them. E.g., the Mercury dime isn’t actually the god Mercury, but a winged goddess Liberty. Sometimes she is homely (most of the early coppers); sometimes she is beautiful (the $20 St. Gaudens gold piece.) On the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter, she was even half-nekkid.

Why, yes. Yes, I am a pedantic numismatist git.

Ha! So’m I, Pavel. I said “Liberty” had to appear, I didn’t say the image of Liberty.

Somewhere, I’ve posted about that law, but I couldn’t find it.

Here’s Elsie Kachel Stevens herself (oh, and look — my bad — I did say “an image of Liberty” in the description there).

Accursed Weasel! I shall never be able to look at a Phrygian cap again! i shall always think of the person in any painting wearing one as wearing panties on thier head.

Then think of this poor lady, who got so excited her panties flew clean off her head.

Exit question: why do the Smurfs wear Phrygian caps?

AAAARGH! Smurfette advertising her availability by showing the world that she isn’t wearing panties! At least not conventionally.

@ Scott the Badger –
As the old guy said to Nicholas Cage in Raising Arizona:

“Son. Yew got a panty on yer head.”

@ SWeasel –
To keep their heads warm!

either that, or the camera man is hallucinating…

So, they’re not following her for the reason Delacroix thought.

I found the first link below the banner particularly appropriate — “Fine Art Racks” indeed…

Exit question: why do the Smurfs wear Phrygian caps?

A more appropriate one (given the “panties-as-chapeaux” theme): “Were Paris Hilton and Smurfette separated at birth?”

Poor Smurfette. She must have been exhausted. All those male Smurfs and her the only female. Reminds me of the girl who went sport fishing with six guys and all she caught was a red snapper.

I saw an interesting exegesis of the Smurfs which basically lambasted them for being a bunch of filthy blue-skinned Commies. When you think about it, there was a definite whiff of the collective farm about them.

I used to worry about Smurfette. But I really, really worried about Lois Lane.

And the Owl of the Owl and the Pussycat.

Do you mean Larry Niven’s observation that the first time Superman got poor Lois’s panties off he would have inadvertently gutted her, at best, and at worst made enough of a mess to need a HAZMAT team to be called in, plus sundry other calamities?

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex.

As a side note, I once worked out that if Elves had periods like humans, for Arwen to still be fertile when Aragorn knocked her up, she had a pair of ovaries the size of a ripe mango each , not the olive-sized ones normal XXs are blessed with.

Yeah, big ol’ nerd, me.

Why worry about the Owl? Pussycats are on the menu for some of the larger Owls. He can look out for himself.

Or am I being a particularly dense Badger today?

*bursts out laughing*
David Gillies: Yes! I’m very familiar with that story by Niven. Isn’t it lovely? Of course, one should never read it while drinking or eating. *snickers* Thank you for the link; I have that story in a book (hard copy), but now I can share it with more people. *Muwahahahahaaa!*

Ahem. 0:)

P.S. Stoaty, how about an “innocent” weasel emoticon? Or would that be too obviously impossible? 😉

How about a halo on the weasel for an angel emoticon?
😉

…how about an “innocent” weasel emoticon?

That’d be a weasel with oversized puppy eyes — a sorta “Margaret Keane mustelid.”

Oh, Lowered, I just had an idea…

This just arrived in my inbox:

Anybody know how to burn an email?

Eeeeeewww! Thanks for sharing!

Phrygian cap? Nonsense, it’s obviously a used condom.

That’s why she’s holding it on the end of a stick. Eeeewwww!

in re: owls and pussycats, a woman living near me once inadvertently saved her cat from an owl. She opened the door to her deck just as a honkin’ big one was stooping on the poor widdle kitty, hunched and cowering in a corner. After that she decided that her cats were not outside cats, which in rural Western Washington is a good idea.

Hell, we have rabbits that would beat the crap out of felis domesticus. Not to mention the coyotes, bobcats, cougars, and bears. And, needless to say, large predatory owls. A guy up here once kept emus – bet they’d punt a cat right over the treeline without effort.

I will definitely keep my kitties safe in suburbia. 🙂

This thread has provided me with a much needed smile this evening…thanks, everyone!

Didn’t Burger King market Panties On A Stick back in the ’90s?

It was King Fredrick of Hollywood who offered edible panties on a stick, although I seem to recall that the deal was “stick sold separately”.

SCOTTtheBADGER: Pussycats are on the menu for some of the larger Owls.

Ogden Nash’s “The Indignant Owl” addresses Edward Lear:

…In which, to top off your fantastic narration
You baldly accuse me of miscegenation.
In forest or meadow or green arboretum
Pussycats I don’t woo, sir, preferring to eatum…

CHORTLE GUFFAW! I must remember that one, Rich, thank you!

/resists urge to match Nash for Nash, but stores up for future reference information that RR is also a Nash aficionado

I will Remember this!!
