Sarah Palin makes up a new word: “Squirmish”
I am not a political blogger, but this is too funny not to pass up. 
Man, Palin just created a new or did she?  I love that Palin just comes up with the best new words.  I also love when her supporters come in and try to defend her new words.
So, does that mean congress has to approve a Squirmish? 
Wait a second, Did Fox News remove and change Palin's word? She doesn't say it in this version, Was this re-edited? Why would they edit out her new word?
Palin, stay on script or let Fox re-edit your words.

Wonder Woman TV costume revamped
After millions of fanboys cried BS on the TV Wonder Woman outfit for the upcoming TV show, it looks like the designers made some changes to the outfit.  I didn’t like the blue boots, but kind of dug the upper suit.  Plus, I’m more for the slightly slimmer WW, because of the Bruce Timm version from JLU. 


And, I have to say I am pleased with the new upgrades to the outfit.  I f’ing love the red boot and the stars on the side of the pants.  This is certainly more of a blend of Golden Age and the newest costume from the updated series in the DCU.
 I still don’t like what I am hearing about the show, but I think they made some good choices with the redesign.  Now, if they can get Power Girl to show up on the show, I’ll be happy…
Who would you have play Power Girl?

Kenny gives you the thoughtful analysis and Charles talks about hunches and feelings. Kenny's the straight man, Charles the comedian. I'm keepin' the fruitloop. Even though Charles says some of the stupidest things I've ever seen on TV, he's entertaining as hell and that's all I want from my TV. Sorry Kenny, but you're burnin' like the lint filter from the dryer.

SUMMER FAERY



I wanted to do a sunny, happy, pretty picture -- particularly one that captured that exuberant feeling that one gets from a summer day.


I'm impatient for summer to start where I live. It's still really chilly in the mornings and wet and rainy. There's still little bits of winter hanging around in fields and some lawns.


Bring on the sunshine!


I've been here and there. I've drawn a lot of pictures. I've written a bit, too. I'm not good at this self-promotion thing. Look, you want to know about me? just visit these websites. Okay?

Courteney seems to be showin' up everywhere lately and that's always good news for the Speakeasy.  You're holdin' up awfully well CC.  I'm startin' to think that wearin' a bikini is good for your health.  Plus, now that that fruitloop David Arquette is out of the picture, you're available, right?  Call me....



Righteous! I hope I'm half as cool as this cat when I get to be his age. Dude is probably still sparkin' the doobies and beatin' the chicks off with a stick. The real American Idol!

The homespun girl from the midwest versus the slutty actress from Hollywood. Well, there's your answer right there. Since we're talkin' about bangin' instead of marrying, the obvious answer is Ginger. Mary Ann's the type you settle down with and raise the 2.5 children. Ginger's the type you snort an eight-ball with and pound her till the last line's up your nose.  Hooray for Hollywood!

AFTERMATH



This is a picture I first did years ago. I recently tried to re-vamp it but never quite finished it to my satisfaction. Just this morning I pulled it up and added a background and some colour.


Fuck it. It's finished.

Unlicensed Tyler massage therapist charged with prostitution

KYTX - A woman operating an unlicensed massage therapy studio on Loop 323 in Tyler was arrested Friday for prostitution after offering sex for a fee to an undercover officer, police said Monday. An undercover operation touched off by multiple tips led to the arrest of Qin Zhang, 48, said Tyler Police Public Information Officer Don Martin. Martin said Zhang, from Plano, was operating the business without a license at 1420 WSW Loop 323 under the name Healthy Massage. "We received numerous emails about the place from people with concerns. We conducted the investigation and found the tips to be true," he said. Martin said Zhang was arrested Friday evening at the business after undercover officers entered the business and confirmed the illegal activity. "This doesn't happen very often in Tyler," Martin said. Zhang was released from the Smith County Jail Friday after posting bonds totaling $1,000 on charges of prostitution and massage license violation.

Love me some massage parlors. You're allowed to massage about 99.9% of the body, but not the rest. What's up with that? How can a full body massage not include the full body? Isn't that false advertising? Madame Zhang is just tryin' to deliver an honest product at an honest price. I think massage parlors should be forced to advertise "No happy endings" if they don't give 'em. Otherwise, when I pay for a full body massage, I expect a full body massage, godammit. And I don't need any cops bustin' in there ruinin' the whole thing.  This shit needs to get straightened out.  Pronto.  Pay attention!





























She's not that famous. She's not that funny. She's not that attractive. She's probably had too much plastic surgery. And she probably needs a career boost. Well Kathy, I hope this little exposure (see how I did that?) helps you out. And by the way, for 50 years' of mileage, you're actually not lookin' too bad. You're welcome.

How can they possibly still have like billions of people left in China? Muthas are gettin' waxed every which way from Sunday. Cars, trucks, carrriages, bikes, motorcycles, vans, buses, rickshaws all goin' down left and right. And this is some little city I never even heard of. What happens in the big, over-populated cities like Beijing?

Insurance agents must be the richest pricks in the country. Hey Geico, get your ass over to China ASAP! And in the meantime, work at home people, WORK AT HOME! Bang. Pay attention.



Well it's not the ending to Bonnie & Clyde but it's still entertaining. Outstanding smackdown moves by our man in blue here on both the dude and the mermaid. And she's a hippie mermaid to boot! Flashin' the peace sign, trying to swim to Europe. Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do?



More proof that Russians drink Stoli all day every day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hey comrades, how many MPG's you get with bad mutha? Never mind, they're too dickered to figure it out anyway...Dos Vedanya!

Superman 64: Worst Game Ever? (The Rings)
You have to check out these “Let's Play” videos of probably the work game ever.
The game was based on the character models of the amazingly cool Superman: The Animated Series.   They even used some of the same voice actors for the game, considering it is a cart-based N64 game.  That being said, this game has to be worst game I’ve seen since that Alf game I bought years ago. 
The glitches are so bad that the actively tries to defeat you when you play on the real mission (via inside buildings). At one point in the “Let's Play video”, during the boss battle the main boss falls through the floor and you can't defeat her. You have to reset your game. Plus, there are numerous times when you can walk through walls and into voids with water. Why is the area within the level surrounded by water?
Why would they put so many rings in the game?
Playstation Superman?
After watching the Let’s Play videos, Proton Jon revealed that there was Playstation version of the game that was almost ready for release.  Blue Sky and Titus worked on a PS1 version.  Titus lost the license and the game was scrapped. Check out the full coverage here from Playstation Museum.
It seems the PS version of the game ended up being better than the dreaded N64 version. 
Yes, that was running on PS1 hardware.  Man, this might have washed the bad taste of Superman 64 out of the gamers’ collective mouths. 


Theodore Bagwell Crosses over to Breakout Kings!
I got into a discussion with one of my professors about characters crossing over from different shows with me mentioning Detective Munch.  And, now I got a kick out of the fact another one of my favorite characters is added on that list. 
I’m currently watching Breakout Kings On Demand and was surprised to see T-Bag show up in the opening.  He was one of the best things about Prison Break and it is extremely cool that he’s back in true form in this episode.  While he was a terrible person, you kind of liked the guy for his true badness. 
I like the fact that Breakout Kings and Prison Break share the same universe.  Both shows share the same creators, so it wasn’t a huge shock.  However, the show is produced by A&E while Fox produces Prison Break.
Robert Knepper is great reprising his role again.  It is hard to see him as anyone else, but T-Bag. 
-Some character has to explain what “t-bagging” means. 
-T-Bag throws a woman out of a moving car!  And she lives!
-T-Bag kills a lot of people in this episode.  But, he has a reason for breaking out again.  In a twisted way…
-T-Bag throws a guy into a rock grinder.  That was brutal. 
While I’m not completely sold on Breakout Kings, this crossover was a nice touch.

Tennessee hoops vs. Ohio State football. I'm saving Pearl and my only reasoning is based on my impressions of the two guys. Tressel, with his little sweater vests, always seems like he's trying to come across as holier than thou. Pearl on the other hand is a certified nut-job so I don't think you can be surprised with what ya get. Tressel fries like an onion ring for bad acting and trying to fool us all. Not buyin' it....

Daily Dime #2

I meant to post this last week shortly after I'd posted the final artwork. Better late then never.


Here's the initial sketch, done in Painter 11 in a sepia tone.

Here I've set the sketch to multiply mode and put in a neutral background

Working the background

Here I've added a neutral flesh tone between the background and the sketch

Added a blue tone to the background


And I begin shading with a darker value of the flesh colour.


More shading


And here is the finished product again. pushed the shadows darker and added softer highlights,  did a lot of blending and added a yellow highlight to the right edge of the figure. Viola! Betty!

First of all my little cupcake, let me just say that you are welcome here in the Speakeasy any ol' time your heart desires. Second of all, what the fuck? I'd hate to be around after that 12-shot bomb drops which is gonna be in like another hour or so. Add in the Mexican food and all I can see is taco meat and guacamole flyin' all over the midwest. Impressive performance though - you'll learn a little more about pacing when you become a professional.

Easy, right? Sophie is by far the hotter of the two. Well, not so fast my fickle friends. Take a look at this picture of the Columbian Bombshell without her makeup. Still want to bang her? Neither do I. In an upset, Julie gets the "Irish Inch Of Aggression." Bang. Done.



Hmmm....
