Somehow, I hear “great hooting of spider monkeys” in my head in a tragically Scottish accent.

Wow! I take that back! Ten minutes later, and this post is hit #8 on a Google search.

Holy shit!

#7 when I checked. I wish I had done that well on my goals for today.

I’m trying to hear “great hooting of spider monkeys” in a tragically Scottish accent, but I just keep getting “Groundskeeper Willie” with the addendum “ya pyooritan pyook”.

And there it is. Google “butt-crack daisy” (in quotes) and I’M NUMBER ONE.

I am awesome.

You’re number 1 on Bing too. You’re the butt-crack daisy queen!

Hey, remember the Norman Rockwell post you did? I’ve seen a ton of his stuff but didn’t ever see this one. Its jaw droppingly brilliant, just an amazing work of art.

The kids would call it “meta” today but its just amazing, he out-Pollocks Pollock, and manages to show he’s better. I want that for myself.

I wonder how he did that. Masked off the figure and then let ‘er rip, I bet (otherwise, the texture of the squiggeled paint would mess up the figure).

They had every single one of his post covers (as printed covers, not the original paintings)…so that one was there.

Thanks for digging this out of the archive
I was intrigued with the comment thread that mentioned it.

“Butt-crack Daisy” & now I have the wrong words to a Ted Nugent song stuck in my head. Thank you so very much.

As frequently happens with Norman Rockwell paintings, I find myself making up a biography for that guy. I’ll bet he owned a Packard.

You know, it’s nice having a web page where a civilized discussion of female ass-cleavage is possible. When we start talking about it at the Cornfield, it usually degenerates to stories of how figging changed peoples sex lives and other such subjects…….. 😉

As frequently happens with a comment by Ric Locke, I find myself struck by his ability to so clearly encapsulate an idea that was previously a jumble of fragmentary thoughts in my own mind.

This time, there’s the added bonus of reminding me of one of my most enjoyable afternoons.

Years ago, I found myself charged with taking my niece (about 8 years old) and nephew (about 10) through a special exhibit of Norman Rockwell paintings. In trying to keep them well-behaved (something they were not known for), I started asking them to find all the reflections they saw, what is that kitten doing?, etc.. By the 4th or 5th picture, they were making up entire stories about the people and places in the pictures. It took us hours to go through the gallery, and my appreciation of Rockwell went from ‘eh, very nice’ to ‘wow, this guy is very very good’.

a great hooting of spider monkeys…

Weasel, you write that like it’s a bad thing…or even a change from the norm in politics. I think the usual tone and tenor I hear in that realm sounds like hooting monkeys and nothing has changed. At least the monkeys don’t try that Mussolini head tilt thing Duh One does…

As to Rockwell, he was far better than just your average illustrator, as was the late Frank Frazetta. Now that the last acknowledged masters are passing away, as these have, their works go for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, due to that exceptional gift they held. One of Frazetta’s paintings went for over a million dollars not that long ago.

To his credit, Rockwell was a contemporary master of art I think. No one on the illustrator scene comes close at the moment for me.

The original tramp stamp….

I can’t decide if “butt-crack daisy” should be sung to the tune of “Muskrat Suzie” or “Camptown Ladies.”

One of favorite Robert Palmer songs from ‘Sneakin’ Sally thru the alley’

“Well, you told me you weren’t infectious, so I brought no precautions with me. And you said your old man was in Texas, and anyway he’d forgotten his key…

There’s more but it’s sad, so I’ll leave it there.

I’ve always sung it to the tune “I’m so pretty”, but I’ve always had a thing for Natalie Wood as Maria.

You’re the top four results on Google now. It’s great, and simultaneously, not so great…

If you had a Googly thingie box on your site, I’d NumberOne you! Butt-crack, indeed.

I just heard about Man Ray last week. We are working our way through the back seasons of “Supernatural” and one of the eps had the guys tracking down a photog who was using Man Ray’s camera to steal youth from subjects. He’d take a picture of one youthful subject and then double expose the film with the older subject and voila. Supposedly the photog had been a friend of Man Ray’s and was ancient – he had been using the camera for himself as well as selling his services to vain wealthy women. 🙂

And congrats on your Google-ability. 🙂

Damn, so I’m forgetful in my old age. It wasn’t “Supernatural,” it was “Warehouse 13” where they go chasing supernatural artifacts, not supernatural beings. 😛

Hm. Shows sound pretty similar… wonder if there is a pattern to my entertainment…
