Steampunk Confusion

The site, Regretsy, sells things.  And many of these things make one wonder.  And also not, if you had ever gone to yard sales and watched other people's junk being snatched up like treasures.

Anyway, Steampunk is being hailed as the new up and coming HOT TREND.  What is Steampunk, you ask?  Well, it's hard to pinpoint because many of the new books published under that heading have various twists of the founding (although they didn't coin the term) writers such as H.G. Wells and Mary Shelley.  Think Victorian age, steam-powered machines, and throw in some science fiction.  Many writers have incorporated alternative history and time travel elements, but definitely, the culture and feel of the setting is Victorian-ish, from fashion to speaking mannerism to architecture.

What has this to do with Regretsy?  Regretsy has a label at its site called "Things That Are Not Steampunk" which had me choking over my coffee.  First, they show the item for sale that the seller has labeled steampunk, then they used their own artists to render a Steampunk depiction using said Sale Item.

For example, ladies and gentleman, venture closer and marvel at the Steampunk Jesus Clock.

Real Item:

Regretsy's depiction:

You can read the hilarious comments HERE.  Personally, the hole where the hands are supposed to is very disturbing.  Also, why no hands?  You have to read some of the wittier observations, such as the hour the Lord is happy. *choke

Another item is this Steampunk Hat:

Okay, a space Jedi on a hat does not a Steampunk story make.  BELOW is Regretsy's depiction of this hat Steampunk-style:

You can check out the visitors' mockery HERE.

:D 

I suppose the readers' confusion will grow when more and more Steampunk books hit the shelves.  Especially when the werewolves and vampires start showing up.  Come on, you know they will.  Werewolves and vampires all wear Victorian clothes!  All righty, then.

Happy Labor's Day!

If They Put A Bib On, What Would You Do?

Introducing C*ck Bibs. I kid you not. And no, you don't wear it around your neck, sweeties. It is "designed to make clean up after oral sex a breeze!”

The Washington City Paper wrote a funny article about it, mentioning the five most inappropriate c*ck bib phrases. The inventor said that he came up with the idea after being victim to yet "another sloppy blow-job." Umm. He also mentioned that he was happily married.

Umm.

Dude. You just critiqued your wife's performance to a million net readers. I'm trying to imagine how she feels about that.

Also, can I add that, if I happened to chance upon an alpha male dangling his member through that peep-hole, I'm probably likely to take away his Alpha Male membership for life. And will tell all my girlfriends about the bib.

What 'bout you, dear readers? If you happened to find yourself staring at the bib, would you have a smart...ahem...comeback?

Because I Want Your Pain

I'm loving your power struggle stories from yesterday's contest. Spread the news, keep the entries coming in, or if you haven't been able to think of one yet, you have till the end of this week (SUNDAY) to do so.

And now. I want reactions. Your honest opinion. There are no words to describe the following link:

Jude Deveraux K & B

Safe for work. Not safe for sanity. Cackle away and share your pain.

Good news. I won a roofing bid! That means, food for the Mutant Poms and the Low Home. It also means I'll be busy for the coming week. Reroofing is a horribly tiring and dirty job at my age.
