An Overview of Tijuana Bibles - 8 Pages of Naughty

These are what your granddad or great-grandpop use to read in between his textbooks or out in the barn. This was their sex-education and it was raunchy, misogynistic and no redeeming social value. Ok, one value it did help the fellas could kinda get a glimmer of what to do with part A and how to insert it in part B.



For historical and educational purposes only I present to you images from the book "Tijuana Bibles: Art and Wit in America's Forbidden Funnies, 1930s-1950s" by Bob Adelman published by Simon & Schuster, 1997.

Panasonic Camcorder Quick Review

I recorded this about a year ago and forgot about it. Being too judgmental I guess. My Panny has become my everyday camera and I do like how it works. Starts fast, with no fumbling with waiting for it to focus. Even the 640x480 still photos look good.

City Island Says, "Adieu Ezra Miller"

.:. Faux Press | Vidlicious .:.

It's a tradition that after an actor's last scene the company will pause to say, "Congratulations and adieu." Director Raymond De Felitta made sure this moment of Ezra Miller's final set moment was captured as a motion picture. My camera was the one most handy so it was rather left to me to put it together. Here it is, with Raymond's fine piano artistry behind.

Ezra's a total shining star - in every way - and we all wish him the best, always.

Perfect.

For my Mom :: Food as Currency

Click to Play

Makes me cry. Experimenting with iMovie's export for iTunes. No frills. It copied the file into the iTunes directory as well as left a copy in the movies folder. Not too bad. Unfamiliar with whether the m4v format will play for my subscribers, be transcoded by Blip to flash, or flow down the RSS feed. Here goes nuthin'.

Grace :: The Story of the Remote :: Dirty Joke

Learn to listen.

Here's a telling of "The Story of the Remote".

The image is from an earlier post wherein I show you part of the woman who speaks in this podcast

The upside of the dismal-looking and feeling foot situation is that she has a better way to flip her husband the bird.

She is my hero.

Her humor in the face of enormous pain astonishes and inspires.

Music is "Mother's Blues" from Jeff Kelley's Classic Acoustic Blues album - about whom I've written in this space before.

Dutch Apple Pancakes :: Cookin' for One

.:. Faux Press | Vidlicious .:.

Cooking for one doesn't have to suck. No indeed. I used gala apples for the recipe shown; nicely sweet and soft after baking. The original recipe calls for one to peel the apples. I don't. For the nutrition and color.

This is great for lunch right out of the oven - hot - and served in a bowl with a little milk.

The next day it's great - again warmed - for 10 minutes @ 300° in the toaster oven. Just enough to take the chill off and crisp the sugar-glazed "crust".

Preheat oven to 400°

3 Grannie Smith Apples - cored & sliced thin, are sautéed 5 minutes over medium high heat in ovenproof pan with:

2T butter
1/4 C sugar
1 t. cinnamon

Mix together to create lovely batter consistency:

3 eggs
1/2C milk
1/2C flour
1 T. sour cream
1/4 t. salt
1 t. grated lemon zest

Bake 25 minutes for golden-brown goodness that makes the house smell like home.

Mom's Friend Pearl :: Embroidery Gender Relations Meditation

.:. Faux Press | Vidlicious .:.

Embroidery is not a lost art: a meditation on gender relations.

Pearl recently moved and Mom was hot to see her new space.

Got to meet bunches of Mom's buddies during this last visit as I shuttled her around for visits she doesn't get to easily make.

So good to get to know these fine folks.

So good.
