Brunette Of The Week And A Ginger, Too**

Posted by TRO on May 14, 2008


Unknown woman in shower.


Blaze Starr

**  Sarah in the comments points out that Blaze Starr was a redhead. I knew this.  Really I did.  But I just saw the black and white photo and had a blonde moment and called her a brunette.  Not that she wouldn’t have made a great brunette.  But a redhead she was, which ain’t half-bad.

The Picture Has Nothing To Do With The Post

Posted by TRO on May 9, 2008

I apologize for the lack of posting, but I was out of state working and just didn’t have time. To make up for it, here’s a few links I found interesting.

1. Obama versus McCain: Let’s Get It On. Best line is the last line: “If John McCain can’t talk the American people out of re-Carterizing themselves, what has he been preparing for all these years?” Yep, Carter all over again. And I called that one before the election too, just ask all my relatives who voted for him while I backed Ford.

2. I spoke with another Democrat while on travel who told me he would vote for McCain this year. He dislikes Bush, positively hates Reagan (no clue what Reagan did to him but the guy was almost pathological about him), and considered himself a yellow-dog Democrat up until this year. He didn’t give me any real reasons, but he is a working-class, gun-toting, religion-clinging white Kentuckian. Make of that what you will.

3. Dan Rather can’t seem to find work, but the real kick here is he applied to Fox News. They should have hired him in my opinion, can you imagine how fun that would be?

4. My Alma Mater gave out its first ever space law degree. I don’t know if that is something I should be proud of or embarrassed about. I am leaning towards embarrassment but, hey, it gives me an opportunity to post this. Via Ace.

5. It appears that my prediction about Obama’s response to any political attack was true. Of course, it’s not a race card in this instance, but calling McCain’s statement of fact that the terrorist group Hamas wants Obama to be elected a “smear” is going to be a standard practice.

6. “We may now understand why Barack does not wear a flag lapel pin. He’s afraid that Bill Ayers will stomp on him.”

7. “Great tits cope well with warming.” Well, of course they do. Unfortunately, it’s not what you think.

8. The five greatest movie teachers, plus one. They all suck in my opinion, all the more so because they left out the number one movie teacher of all time.

9. Global warming does not exist. That is my official opinion and anyone who doesn’t agree with me is the equivalent of an Holocaust** denier. Hey, don’t get mad at me for saying that, I just stole it from the global warming enviro-nuts.

9. I’m assuming that you only need one search term, that being “gingers.”

10. Speaking of gingers, observe one ginger’s obsession with a Saab.

PLUS ONE:

With some commentary here, here, and here. Great line: “Can He Spell ‘Potato?’”

Correction:
New best line:

“This faux pas is beyond weird; I know the guy is tired, but “How many states are there in America?” is the kind of question they ask you at the hospital after you’ve had a seizure to see if your brain is still working.”

Although this one is good too: “Maybe he needs to start wearing a flag pin so he could use the stars on it as a reference.”

** I’m not making fun of the Holocaust. I am using it this way to show how ludicrous it is to compare those two things, which the left does all the time.

To Help You Get Through Hump-Day

Groovy Dancing Girl

As an aside, she appears to be a ginger. Is this what gingers do when they are bored?

UPDATE:

This song and video are addictive. Much like potato chips and gingers I imagine, once you have one you just can’t stop.

The Gardening Ginger

Posted by TRO on April 22, 2008

I promised one of my beautiful redhead readers that I would post something nice about redheads, so here goes. Trust me when I say this is very nice indeed.

I found this at at Marie’s place. Check her out if you enjoy vintage postcards.

*** As you can see I found a place to post here before breakfast. So check back now and again.

Ginger Matching

Posted by TRO on February 29, 2008

The two gingers in the this group look like two ginger bloggers I know. (Well, one of em dumped me as a blogger friend but she still looks like her).

The brunette I don’t recognize, but if anyone thinks they look like her, send me a photo and I will let you know.

Seriously though, they do look like Killjoy and Leesa respectively.  It’s kind of creepy really, but in a sort of hot redhead way.
