Temperature Fish Hat

Misheard lyrics from Sean Pauls Temperature.

 

Actually I think these may be the correct official lyrics.

Sean Paul doesn't even come from Angola.

February 30ths Book

This is last months book at the start of this month on account of the end of the month sneaking up on me.  Eric John written by Edward Fenton.  Eric John appears as though he may be a big cat.

 

Although nothing to do with lions, tigers or books, February is short.  I blame Sacrobosco.  When Julius Cesar created the Julian Calendar, months were formed by adding ten days to a regular pre-Julian Roman Republican year of 355 days, creating a regular Julian year of 365 days. The 13th-century scholar Sacrobosco thought that Julius Caesars calendar had 29 regular days in February and 30 on leap years.  He then said Augustus changed this, by taking one day from February to add it to the month of Sextilis, so that the length of Augustus (August) would not be shorter than (and therefore inferior to) the length of Iulius (July).

 

This story of Augustus and February is still widely repeated but completely wrong.

Nudiustertian

The latest uncommon word I have encountered is nudiustertian.  No, it's not an Austrian word to describe a nude citizen. It's the proper term to describe the time frame pertaining to the day before yesterday.

 

I think it's an important word because it's the pivotal point in history where memory starts to go fuzzy.  Remembering what happened yesterday is fine but the day before... may as well be the year before yesterday. Alternatively if you drink a lot it's where your last memory starts since you woke up.

 

I couldn't find a picture I liked depicting the day before yesterday, so here's one of some nude Austrians.

Lyrical Devolution

Music Lyrics Then:

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles,
your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done,
for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

   - Thankyou, Led Zeppelin, 1975.

Music Lyrics Now:

You a stupid hoe, (yeah) you a, you a stupid hoe
You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe (stupid, stupid)
You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe (you stupid, stupid)
You a stupid hoe, you a, you a stupid hoe (you stupid, stupid)

Top of that I'm in the Phantom looking hella chonky

Ice my wrists and I piss on bitches
You can suck my diznik if you take this jizzes
You don't like them disses, give my ass some kisses
Yeah they know what this is, givin this the business

   - Stupid Hoe, Nicki Minaj, 2012.

What the hell is this?!

Butchs Shining Axe

There's something distinctly Charles Manson cultish about the LP cover Swing That Gospel Axe by Butch Yelton and Upbound.

The Closer you look the creepier their smiles get.  Brings to mind The Shining movie based on Stephen Kings novel of the same name.

A film which was also the inspiration for this cuckoo clock by Chris Dimino.

Each hour the Jack Nicholson doll bursts through the door accompanied by his line "Here's Johnny" and the screams of Shelly Duvall.

Too bad it's a one off piece, I want one of those.  Here's Chris Diminos web site if you'd like to see what other arty things he has done.

Unicornio

Unicornio have come from the future of the 1970's (which was 1982 according to the release date) to inspire us with awe at their colourful, futuristic, shiny jumpsuits and their powers of immaculate hair conditioning.  Just so you know: that’s a magic, futuristic power rainbow and not gay at all.
