And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The other thing that is a deal-breaker for me, and which I've never understood is the nose-piercings.
There are many dimensions to judge a woman, but if one were to look just at her physical appearance, I think that women hit their peak in their mid-20's. They've matured physically and their emotional development shows in how they carry themselves.
So I've always wondered: What does a nose piercing add that she already doesn't have? How many people take a bit of a longer glance at her that aren't already noticing her? For me, that piercing doesn't add at all....for me, a piercing subtracts from her beauty.
And of course, as she ages into her 30's or, heaven forbid, her 40's and older, a facial piercing just looks ridiculous.
Insurance companies don't like old school buses. Pre- 90's mostly had terrible rollover protection. Only one brand ever had a good design, and they were built so well that the chassis lasted forever. Not an exaggeration. I think the first bus they built is still in use at its' original school. The NHTSA based their crash reqs on their body design. They didn't have to update, since they were the state of the art.
for sure that's one inkwell I wouldn't dip my pen in. No idea what policy is now, but years ago, official policy of a suburban Maryland PD was not to hire anyone with tattoos. PTB claimed tats were a sign of "emotional insecurity".
The inky religion is going to cause so much despair as these creatures age. Somehow the tramp-stamp eagle wings above the ass crack went out of style but ink everywhere else is now the rage.
#9 Two of the most historic Jaguars ever. OKV 2 is the second D-Type built and placed 2nd at Le Mans in 1954, one lap behind a 5 litre Ferrari V12. 1 VHP is the first RHD E-Type built and was the demonstator at Henlys in London. Al_in_Ottawa
#14, I must be too damn old because those tattoos make an otherwise good-looking woman look like crap
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteNo woman's appearance has ever been improved by ink.
DeleteShe's still rather nice, as is the Series 3 Land Rover. Both probably unreliable though.
DeleteAgreed -- tats are a vain attempt to improve upon what God has made, an attempt that is doomed to fail.

DeleteExcellent portfolio. The school bus turned camper is on my list.

DeleteAll great except the tattooed lady.
ReplyDeleteI think we're being tested.
DeleteMy favorite is the one with the dog.
ReplyDeleteYour doggy obsession is duly noted. Check out the girl, the surfboard, the vintage Ford Falcon.
DeleteBoth of the Jaguars are still showing current road tax in the UK.
ReplyDeletefor sure that's one inkwell I wouldn't dip my pen in.

Try to find any cop without a tattoo…
DeleteWell...Try finding an emotionally-secure cop in this cultural environment.....
DeleteI don't see any open road in #15, but those fine looking dogs sure fill the sky line scene, wonderfully. Peace.
ReplyDeleteThat is one fine and cute red and white Ford Falcon.
ReplyDeleteAnd the surfer girl isn't bad either.
The Falcon lady is tops. too bad she is now probably as old or older than me.

DeleteDamn... that was excellent! SNL is such a wasteland now because there used to be actual humor available long ago.
DeleteLike the school bus camper, the young lady has destroyed her fantastic looks.

Loves me that Friday Open Road! Relaxing after a tough week. I could seriously do without painted ladies, though.
ReplyDelete... but the surfboard lady is nice.
DeleteI completely agree! Why would a Beauty like that Cover up that Beautiful Skin!
DeleteThe red canoe - if it isn't a painting, it should be.
ReplyDeleteis that a two door Ford wagon?
ReplyDeleteYes, a '56 I believe. I had a '57 2 door, I should have kept it.

Great set CW thanks for the Fridays
ReplyDeleteToo bad the formerly pretty girl on the Rover hood had to turn herself into a walking comic book. Oh well, visible warning signs are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAs an older guy in the market, I love chicks with tats. It signals daddy issues, low morals and an ability to have fun. Note: i rent, don't own.
