Surf W/ Peeps In Wrigley Field!
WENDY'S WORLD: BUY MY NAME, PEEPLEY FIELD, LIFE AT TARGET, H.P. LOVECRAFT SEWING SITE, COOL ICE SCULPTURES!
Started in 1998, this project is dedicated to recording the engineering and technological artifacts left behind by one of the most significant periods in American history. The global battle between democracy and communism required massive resources, and while the equipment may seem antiquated by today's standards, it often pushed the scientific and technological limits of its time.
While popular images of backyard bombshelters or East Germans desperately crossing the Berlin Wall may remain etched in the American psyche, much of this decades-long conflict occurred out of the public view. With few attention-grabbing "battles" much of the tremendous infrastructure that helped win the Cold War was rarely seen in any detail. Combining documentary and fine art photography, the goal of this project is to capture these historic facilities and machines as they stand today, before they are retrofitted, reused or destroyed.
AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR WENDY'S WORLD!

Achim Lippoth, born 1968, started as freelance photographer in 1982. He works mainly as fashion and advertising photographer concentrating on photographs of children. He publishes his works among others in 'Wallpaper Magazine,' 'New York Times Magazine' and 'Vogue.' In 1995 he established his own magazine 'kid's wear' which the German newspaper 'FAZ' called the 'only serious style-magazine from Germany.

From the streets of eastern Europe to the toniest auction houses in London and New York, the market for Russian space memorabilia is booming. Credit the spike in demand to resurging public interest in space... And with NASA's total lockdown on US artifacts, Russian items are the only way to go...most of the gear is unauthenticated, and some of it is definitely counterfeit. But if you're looking for an electronic control board that really could be from the Mir Inter-national Space Station ($2,000 at Izmailovo), a Strizh full-pressure space suit ($8,595 on eBay), or even a Russian space shuttle ($5 million from a Warsaw-based dealer), there has never been a better time. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.04/space.html

A friend who relocated to California from NY said she missed hearing all the odd variety of music that was played around the office here...This "radio" is my response. It will stream for a few hours and then it will recycle... Click on the player button [Live365 Player, alternate player or iTunes Radio]...and it will begin... The song list will be updated periodically... As it reflects what I’m listening to, some songs will hang around longer while others will get dumped and replaced quickly.
Like many people, I listen to a wide variety of music, and some of it is, ahem, more appropriate at certain times of day than others. We here are not responsible for adverse affects from playing the wrong music at the wrong time. Hope some of this is enjoyable.

HEMINGWAY'S BLOODY MARY, PEZ MUSEUM, LINK WRAY, OYSTER'S REALLY ARE SEXY, BUFORD PUSSER MUSEUM, SAI BABA'S FALL!

Nag Champa incense, in the distinct blue box, may be the most loved incense around. Bob Dylan has it lit at his concerts.

Now, victims are beginning to come forward with stories of child abuse, child sexual abuse and much more. Click on the button: witnesses. Hey, I never heard a thing about this before. I doubt the fellow that sold the HARD ROCK chain and gave Sai Baba all the money knew either. http://home.hetnet.nl/~ex-baba/frameset.html

Rock guitarist Link Wray was born on May 2nd in North Carolina. In his 1958 instrumental hit "Rumble," Wray invented the power chord, the basis of modern rock guitar-playing from thrash to heavy metal. He is the missing link in the history of rock guitar in that he is not often given credit for being the connection between early blues guitarists and the late '60s gods (Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend, etc.).

On July 25, 1946, Jerry began a show business partnership with Dean Martin, an association that would soon skyrocket both to fame. It started when Jerry was performing at the 500 Club in Atlantic City and one of the other entertainers quit suddenly. Lewis, who had worked with Martin at the Glass Hat in New York City, suggested Dean as a replacement. At first they worked separately, but then ad-libbed together, improvising insults and jokes, squirting seltzer water, hurling bunches of celery and exuding general zaniness. In less than eighteen weeks their salaries soared from $250.00 a week to $5,000.00.
For ten years Martin and Lewis sandwiched sixteen money making films between nightclub engagements, personal appearances, recording sessions, radio shows, and television bookings. Their last film together was "Hollywood or Bust" (1956). On July 25th of that year the two made their last nightclub appearance together at the Copacabana, exactly ten years to the day since they became a team.

X Minus One was a science fiction radio series on NBC from April 1955 through January 1958. The show feature stories written by some of the big names in 1950s science fiction, like Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, and Issac Asimov. For baby boomers that liked The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone and for all you Trekkies, X Minus One is the forefather of the science fiction you grew up with.
Each X Minus One starts with this intro, to the sound effects of a rocket lifting off:
Countdown for blast-off. X Minus 5, 4, 3, 2, X Minus 1, Fire. From the far horizons of the unknown come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time and space. These are stories of the future. Adventures in which you will live in a million could-be years on a thousand maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Corporation in cooperation with (Galaxy Magazine, then Astounding Science Fiction) presents . . . . X Minus One.
It's a good intro for a great show. The plot's toast 99% of TV shows today. Hope that doesn't mean we are getting dumber.....

Surf W/ Goth COUNTRY Music!?!
SECRETS OF WAR: WHEN WE FOUGHT JAPAN ON AMERICAN SOIL, STALIN JOKES, DR. WHO RETURNS, WHY PEOPLE FOLLOWED HITLER!
"Undisputed queen of 70’s Japanese exploitation cinema next to Yumi TAKIGAWA or Naomi TANI, the name of Meiko KAJI has for decennia been familiar to any lover of B – and the cult continues, especially following Quentin TARANTINO’s recent threefold tribute to her in the captivating KILL BILL.
For a paper on film analysis I’d chosen FEMALE CONVICT SCORPION JAILHOUSE 41 by Shunya ITO. For a number of reasons – a love for Japanese cinema of course (especially 70’s exploitation cinema), as well as a fascination with the beautiful Meiko KAJI. Although my enthousiasm for this particular flic was also due to its surrealist and subversive nature." http://www.meiko-kaji.com/intro_english.html

WHEN TIMES SQUARE WAS SLEAZY, TORTURE TOUR, DOG CONDOMS, 24 K GOLD DELOREAN, RAREST WHISKEY ON EARTH!
By the end of World War II, Times Square was a general entertainment area in which tourists, young people on dates, gamblers, con men, street preachers, taxi dancers, frequenters of bars, prostitutes, panhandlers, readers of smut and fans of movie sex and violence all mingled. It had become a rival of Coney Island in providing energetic and raffish amusement for a mass audience. The media, politicians and clergy deplored the “honky tonk” atmosphere just as strongly as they did the hard core sleaze of the late 70s and 80s. Even in its most sinister state, many imaginative people–artists, predators, thinkers, even mystics--went to Times Square, with the promise of victims, converts, comrades, the release of sexual tension, and an escape from “should” and “ought to” very much on their minds. It was the outsiders' America, and from it you could look up at the hard driving, busy, fashionable one as at a oversized billboard proclaiming gratification of the successful citizens' needs. Down at street level, amidst the noise, con men, greasy food odors, and street people of many countries, colors, and social classes, you looked around, checked out what you were here for, wondering what you might experience, whether you wanted to or not. In that mood, you might duck into one of the bookstores or back date magazine shops. http://home.earthlink.net/~jgertzma/BkshopsofTimesSq/index.html

Prior to developing his unique creations, Caesar spent 17 years working in the Art and Photography Department of The Hospital For Sick Children in Toronto documenting child abuse, surgical reconstruction, psychology and animal research. The artist explains, 'I often awake in the middle of the night and realize I have been wondering the hallways and corridors of the giant hospital. It is clear to me that this is the birthplace of all my imagery.' These experiences continually haunt and present themselves in his dreamy images, which draw inspiration from the works of Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, and Paul Cadmus

In a Bank in Snyder, Texas there is a 24 Karat Gold DeLorean Car. I've never seen anything like it. The more questions I asked about it, the more I wanted to know. It can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in eight seconds without spinning the wheels and get an average 27 miles to each gallon of gasoline. Its stainless steel body is gold-plated. There are zero miles on the odometer. It has never had fuel in the tank. And it?s only one of two left like it in the world. The DeLorean car sits in a locked glass showcase in the lobby of the Snyder National Bank.

Twelve jurors were selected to meet for four months to hear the testimony of over fifty people, view all the evidence, and come to a verdict in the case of The State of California vs. Robert Blake. Participating as a juror on any case is an honor and an important civic duty. High profile cases such as this prove to be daunting and exhaustive. The trial was long and very emotional. Many of the jurors probably wrote down their feelings in some type of journal or diary regarding their experience since they were mandated not to talk to.
Juror number eleven, Roberto Emerick, decided to express his feelings the only way he knows how - through music, and here it is: Judgment day is a six song CD based on the murder trial of Robert Blake, the star of Barreta and the Little Rascals who was accused of killing his wife Bonnie Lee Bakely.

This is one great photoshop contest! Science fiction and fantasy often intermingle, albeit mostly on movie shelves and dreadful nerd fan fiction. This week we aim for the highbrow goal of doing no less than making the latter of those two a visual experience. The Something Awful Forum Goons, driven by forumgoer TheOneOutside, whipped up a delicious assortment of pictures showcasing the world of fantasy as it looks when locked in mortal combat with science fiction.
