Sunday Syllabub
Dan Collins asked me lately "why are you not posting" and I have to say that it is work, and I have a terrible case of floaters which requires me to suffer the indignity of proof-reading or the shame of the resulting equivalent of Charles Bonnet syndrome in my writings. Plus blogspot hates my browser. Also, I have my moods.
Yet, I think there may be another reason which I did not fully comprehend, until it was pointed out by the local MSM. They didn't like a pic my husband snapped and complained my image "doesn't really say blogger." I must need some convincing props, like a cabana boy or something , though I swear I was blogging like 30 seconds before DH snagged it with the Iphone.
So now I'm FORCING myself to post, and DH is handing me a cool drink to build my confidence. Adding links all afternoon:
----------
Light and cool for a humid Sunday -
The auto crash that would not end, yes it goes on and on..
Echidna! That's what she said.
Monotreme fore-play?
You do the math.
A milky supernova in the sky. Warning: do not even think of famous misheard lyrics and Jimi Hendrix.
An Ambiguous animation painted on public walls: "MUTO" Link goes to a brilliant but weird video made with stop motion.
I'm always trying to figure out the transformation art of another artist, M.C. Escher.
The best weird anecdote I ever heard about Escher was how he preferred cheese sandwiches as a child and would be so particular about tiling the cheese slices on the bread. He would peel them off and reassemble for perfection, annoying the friend who related this tale. later on, his descendents would go on to write letters to sandwich shops.
A gallery of Escher's works may be found here.

Via Neatorama:
Yo! Transforming Citroën C4 car! Well, you have been SERVED by Chevy Aveo. As in, they drove away from your dancing car bootie. Link goes to Youtube.
Here's the original dancing Citroen viral ad (you tube) on which the mocking is based.
ANTS ANTS ANTS! Wacky foreign dadaist Ants! Now is the time on electrical sockets when we dance!

INDICTMENT: And Lori Drew would have gotten away with it
If it weren't for the meddling with *MYSPACE*.
Although Missouri authorities declined to file charges against Drew for her participation/ approbation of a scheme to fool a child into revealing confidences to a Trojan Boy (a false internet persona created exclusively to reel her in and gain her confidence), Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles have charged her with illegal misuse of the protected computers of the California-based Myspace company.
Despite protestations of Lori Drew's (latest) attorney, Los Angeles-based federal prosecutors do have jurisdictional standing to bring charges, because the crimes charged are actually crimes against the Beverly Hills-based Myspace, and through it one of its clients.

Scott Glover, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer reports:
A federal grand jury in Los Angeles today indicted a woman of fraudulently using a MySpace.com account to "cyber-bully" a Missouri teenager who later hanged herself because she believed she was being rejected by a 16-year-old boy she met on the social networking website.
Lori Drew, 49, of O'Fallon, Mo., faces three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress on the girl and one count of conspiracy. ..

Drew's attorney, H. Dean Steward, said he plans to wage a vigorous defense, suggesting that prosecutors in Los Angeles were overstepping their jurisdiction.
"There are a lot of issues we are going to need to raise, including why it's happening in Los Angeles," Steward said. "It seems like a Missouri case no matter how you cut it."

From ABC news:
"This adult woman allegedly used the Internet to target a young teenage girl, with horrendous ramifications," said U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien in a written statement.
"After a thorough investigation, we have charged Ms. Drew with criminally accessing MySpace and violating rules established to protect young, vulnerable people."

Seth A. Newman, Closet Teen Nudist: "Open Carry" Redux
Seth Adam Newman, Closet Teen Nudist. (updated 5/12/08)
Well, I was hoping the Richmond Times-Dispatch would mention this aspect of the interests of freakin rocks this world, eclectic Seth A. Newman, library-sex-sheriff, but it looks like I'm going to get this sword out of the scabbard first.
In a standard googly screen-name search for the combination of "'Sethyyy' mom"
I stumbled upon a google hit for a young man with spelling habits, age and location that seem to match up to my UR gun-scare neighbor, on a website called "Ardent Youth." The focus of the Ardent Youth website seems to be (mostly) Christian teens who identify as "Naturists" and who celebrate God's purity of creation and explore shamelessness by taking their pants off. They all get together and talk about pantlessness and how normal it is. Despite the the focus on "nature" and "purity", it of course comes off on the whole as rather tragically pervy.
He makes one or two posts, including
A little more casual searching confirms Sethyyy is indeed Seth Newman, closet teen nudist. He participated more actively in this board for a time He even had a cool idea!
There is a youtube channel, FWIW, linked to username Sethyyyy. Youtube Sethyyyy's favorites are tame "tarzan skinny-dipping" speed, excepting, perhaps, the "how to make meth" link. There are a enough similarities in profile to suggest it could possibly be Newman's... except for the part where he posts that he's been accepted by the college of William and Mary; which makes the connection doubful. That doesn't seem very likely for my gluebeard neighbor. Not if this essay got anywhere near his admission papers. Seth Newman submitted his Dr. Stranglove essay to Antieessays.com just a few weeks ago, which begins:
UPDATE 05 12 08 - the chances of this being Seth Newman's channel just went up. It seems the mention of a College of William and Mary acceptance belongs not to "Sethyyyy", but another Youtube channel owner. A view of this other users page makes it clear the William and Mary comment isn't Sethyyyy's at all. User Sethyyyy's actual remark is bolded below

——- My husband and son just got back from a brief UR alumnus trip to the beach. Friends from University of Richmond mentioned to my husband that recent and repeated incidents of exhibitionism have been reported on Campus.
Prudent Protein Wisdom regular Jim in KC had noted in comments of one of my posts, that if he were in charge of the UR gun-scare investigation, he would be checking surveillance tapes for evidence of earlier visits by young Mr. Newman. It would seem, with this backstory on Newman, there is all the more reason to investigate possible previous appearances of "nature boy" on campus.

see i'm a closest naturist and i think that people will persecute me for being a naturist. Only a few of my close friends know that i'm a naturist. My parents would probably send me to a insane assylum if they found out. haha

Seth Newman and "Open Carry" Law
Today's Richmond Times-dispatch, reporting on the 19 year-old fantasy-fan's confession to police, notes
Seth Newman asked an online legal service last summer,
"Are there any laws in Virginia regarding carrying around a sword?
"If I were to walk around in the streets with it would I have to keep it in its scabbard?
"If I were to walk around in the streets with it would I have to keep it in its scabbard?
Well, maybe he shouldn't be carrying his sword around out of the scabbard in the public ways. But it doesn't necessarily follow it has to stay in the closet forever.
During a warrant search of his home, Police also confiscated (per the affidavit) Newman's ID, insulin syringes, cameras, film, a plastic bag for a holster and "make-up removing" towelettes.
*A library employee told police that a male in a fake beard and sheriff's jacket stated to her that he was a police officer and that he had heard that people were fornicating in the library and that he needed to spend the night.
