Noche de Rabanos (Night of the Radishes) takes place every year, on the 23rd of December, in Oaxaca, Spain and is one of the most impressive vegetable festivals around the world.
The radish was brought to the Americas in the 16th century, and back then the vendors used to carve them and use them on their market stalls to attract customers. Although the origins of the festival cannot be traced to an exact period, it is considered that it all began in the year 1897, when the mayor of Oaxaca organized the first radish-art exposition. Everever since that first celebration, every year, this humble vegetable is meticulously carved into animals, warriors, kings, dancers and pretty much any shape you can imagine. The artists sometimes make use of other vegetables, like onion or lettuce to complete their work. There’s also a prize for the most beautiful piece displayed.
The carver’s work begins about three days in advance and on the 23rd of December, the day of the festival, the results of all their hard work is presented to the public. On that same day, especially in the morning, children have the chance to learn this incredible art of radish-carving, or at least some of its secrets.
The celebrations don’t end that day. They continue on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with other joyful “fiestas”, parades of floats, fireworks music and dancing.

To people who don’t like it. Well here is my ancestors liberating Catholic Flemish from the Dutch Calvinist. The Spanish Army lead by the Italian General The Duke of Parma. Italy, Spain and Portugal was the same back then. The Dutch were paid off by the Turks so Spain couldn’t liberate the Balkans. Not something to be proud of by the Calvanists.

@ Eliana:
Sorry you had to experience the hate first hand. So discouraging. You’re smart in moving on and letting the creep punish himself. Better that he showed his vile face so that you know to not show him any money. Had he kept it to himself, he would have made money and you’d not be the wiser what sort of wretch you were dealing with.
@ Eliana:
He got in an argument with Iceweasel and told her to **** herself sideways.

I am surprised that they work for anybody, Jew haters usually think Jews control everything.
@ Bunk X:
Like I said, I think that’s a clear case of discrimination based upon religion and/or country of origin.
@ Mongoose:
It was an anti-Israel boycott.
My customer sells Israeli products, including things that are manufactured in the “settlements.”
Liberals have been pushing actions like this in many places in the western world. It’s probably going to be approved in the UN Security Council soon.
@ Rodan:
I don’t think Brink was messing with Elaina.
But, I could be having language issues tonight.
I’ll go back and reread though.
@ Brick:
I love you man.
@ mjazz:
I still think that CJ, Iceweasal and Jimmah are the same person.
LVQ may have been biting the ankle of his master.

That’s not exactly a new product.
When they built a new facility for our guards at the nuclear weapons storage site where I worked in Italy back in 1981, it had glass like that.
We actually learned that the contractors installed it backwards, though, when one of the Italians threw a rock at a window and it broke.

I suppose it could be pushed, to what end without substantiation…tough to say. The net plus is, people like boycott guy’s business will eventually self-destruct and they won’t have a clue as to why. They rarely figure it out, but the rationale will be it’s the fault of those damn, [insert imagined group of persecutors here].

He started up with some bullcrap that all the women on Fox News were whores and sluts. Iceweasel called him on it, and LVQ told her to go fuck herself sideways and called her a bitch. Lud got a timeout and hasn’t been seen since.

Look mate, CJ and the Iceweasel are not going to let you out of your room. You are now free to post wherever you want. But you feel ashamed and angry. Get over it.
The whole Climate Change Fraud™ is falling apart. Billions will die if you don’t get over your butthurt and start posting again! Why, oh why is it brutally cold everywhere when it was supposed to get warmer? Why is Britain experiencing another cold winter, a 1 in 160,000 odds against anomaly according to the Sacred Met Office Models™?
Surely there is an abstract you can cut and past to enlighten us?
Ps. You really are a grown-up? and the internet really is uncensored. You won’t get in trouble for posting on other blogs.
@ Brick:
Some guys like Rodan have so much going for them that they actually have to make time in their day to keep current in here.
I envy Rodan. He has a real life where all I got is….
SNAKE!!
@ Bunk X:
He called women on Fox News NEWNOUNS with whiffs of sexuality floating around corrupting souls.
@ lobo91:
When he said bulletproof glass that you can shoot through I thought it had to be some kind of joke. You can shoot out but people can’t shoot in? Is this just for emergencies, since it leaves holes?
@ Mongoose:
*whispers* I heard what he really likes tonight.

Here are the screen caps if you want to see the play-by-play.

@ Calo:
Sounds like LVQ was letting his inner-Keith Olbermann loose.

He was naughty to the Weasel. There was also the whole slut shaming thing.
@ Bunk X:
Awww…I love YOU, man. Not in the Brokeback Mountain way, but in the you’re okay, and I might give you a hug way. But, not the open two-handed sissy kind of hug, no. I’m talking the shaking hands, pull-in to chest bump, and left-hand hug with the left fist remaining clenched above the shoulder blades, and total hug time not to exceed 3.5 seconds. That kind of hug.
Then immediately after the hug we’d have to talk about something especially manly like guns, cars, explosives, or echidnas.

By Jove, I believe you’ve got it….

Shit, I am going to reveal myself but…
Yeah! I found it on Youtube. I thought I would have to post the Mpeg I made for them.

Ludwig was just being his usual loony self, but the Iceweasel and Jimmah returned to feed, and Ludwig just threw himself at them. They even tried to talk him down.
@ mjazz:
Exactly.
Fuck the Cuban Communists.
The South Africans/Catholic Latinized Anglons won this battle.
Bunk, did you see Bricks post a few nights ago in in Our Future in 5 Years comment #252? I am still laughing over that one.
@ Mongoose:
Don’t forget you’ve got these, too.

Come over to the darkside, LudwigVanQuixote .
Lud, I am not your father.

You can blog if you want to
cause this blog is for all kinds
but your friends won’t blog
and if they won’t blog
then the’re no friends of mine
@ Bunk X:
Not clicking on that… nope, not.
@ Bagua:
Yeah, I just read the screen captures.
By the way, LVQ was wrong about Nancy Pelosi not wearing mini-skirts.
She wore mini-skirts when she went to visit Arab leaders all over the Middle East. She sat with her legs hanging out while her male hosts wore robes that went all the way to the floor.
She DID wear a veil on the top of her head, though. So some of her head was covered but her exposed legs were all over the room.
The Dems had just won the House in November 2006.
I don’t think she was ever invited back to the Middle East.
@ Mongoose:
Cool!
Oh, and just so you know I do not lie…

Well, it’s past my bedtime.
Talk to you all tomorrow.
@ Mongoose:
Was this III or IV?
@ lobo91:
‘nite.
Pilot punished for YouTube video about TSA
…four federal air marshals and two sheriff’s deputies arrived at his house to confiscate his federally-issued firearm.
…a deputy sheriff asked him to surrender his state-issued permit to carry a concealed weapon.
A follow-up letter from the sheriff’s department said the CCW permit would be reevaluated following the outcome of the federal investigation.
The videos show flight crews being forced to go through TSA screening while ground crews who service the aircraft are able to access secure areas simply by swiping a card.
@ Eliana:
I didn’t know that, it’s hilarious. I don’t want to hate on poor Nancy, but there is something scary about her, a sincere but moronic intensity. Politicians in general tend to look bizarre, but Pelosi works it effect.
@ Brick:
I did the 2002 video stuff. That was 2009.
I seem to remember they also did ballistic wallpaper. I also converted the video for them. That was really cool shit. I will see if I still have it tomorrow.
@ Bunk X:
My God – Are you in DT’s?
Cuz that is what some patients see.
Spiders and all.
Mongoose wrote:
Definitely neat stuff.
@ Calo:
Had to reboot to find it. Good story.
@ Bunk X:
That disturbed me on a level…well it disturbed me a lot.
Goodnight all. These are my peeps Rightwing Latins.
Long live Greater Colombia.
God bless Castano.
@ Bagua:
I think it’s her eyes. She’s got those crazy eyes that you can see the whites all the way around them. The Runaway Bride has ‘em, and so did that Comet of Doom Cult leader guy.

I started watching this and I realised I knew where it was! Brighton, England.

@ Rodan:
G-d Bless YOU, Rodan.
Get some sleep. You’ll feel better in the a.m.
@ Mongoose:
It looks photo-shopped to me.
@ mjazz:
That’s out of order.
@ Mongoose:
Add to list of things impossible….
Explaining that clip to someone who’s never seen it in 30 seconds or less, and NOT sound like a lunatic several days off meds.
@ Bagua:
Naw… I have been there, I have been drunk and that is next to the Brighton Hotel where the IRA tried to blow up Maggy Thatcher.
That is a video of all the toys from the Grab Me machines on Brighton Pier escaping. Yes it is.
@ Brick:
…and Clint Eastwood movies and how Carter carburetors really sucked.
@ lobo91:
Now we need self-repairing bullet-proof glass.
Actually just listening to the music alone will drive you nuts!
Good thing I am nuts already….

I liked seeing the pigeons get it. Does that make me a mean person? Possibly a serial occidit avis? Like you?

Better yet, bullet-proof glass that shoots back.

All yall’s Brits fight this one out. I’m done.
Off to bundle up for sleep – is is freezing here and I might need a blanket tonight. Work calls soon.
@ Mongoose:
No ferrets, damn!
OK, I did do the Cow one… my neck really hurts!!!
(anyone who isn’t nodding their head to it just ain’t doing it right….)
@ Calo:
I don’t know what you’re talking about. All I saw were cows nodding their heads to some techno music.

One night we must do a post about that guy.
He is an interesting character.
I think it is too soon to try for a Five Hundred but let us see what the new year brings.
Best wishes to all of you. and I mean all…
yep, *gone*
BTW, Axe Cop just turned 1 year old. Hilariously bizarre comic strip written by a 5 year old and illustrated by his 29 year old brother. Believe me, it’s awesome.
Well I was expecting Bunkessa to be home by now, but she said she just left campus. Anyone wants to burgle us, now is the time, because the light’s on, the door’s unlocked and I’m going to bed.
P.S. Bunkarina is staying up. She’s armed.
Sleep well. Merry Christmas and such.
Hi Bunk!
If I am going to have nightmares, well so are you!
I don’t know if you know but your cute kid who thinks cows are cute is being lured into the web of a guy who does a really cool mathmatically correct visualisation of a fibronashy spiral.
Yep…
Your kid is an inspiration to us all. (The moustache on the gingerbread man was cookie of the year.)

OK Bunk – glad I scrolled back for that. I think.
Thanks for the laughs this year. I am grateful to yooz.

Time to get that turkey going…
Morning everyone. One more day to go. In the meantime, I give you Leah from “A Goth Christmas”.
Hi guys…Merry Christmas Eve
Dare I say it, i like her shoes.
@ NoThreat2U:
Yes you can.
@ PaladinPhil:
Thanks…I usually get yelled at for mentioning shoes. lol
@ NoThreat2U:
No problem from this end. I know women and their shows.
okay, clothes packed, camera gear mostly packed, presents packed *snicker*. Almost time to hit the dusty trail and head to work for one more day.
Bird’s in the oven. Now all I need to do is make cranberry sauce, find some decent green beans, pick up some report binders, printer ink and such at Staples, work on a property evaluation report, clean the house some more, and otherwise look busy so the wife doesn’t give me the Evil Eye.
Camera ! I better drag out the old Cannon and put fresh batteries in it for tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder.
I should be running to the store for cat food but I can’t get the damn frost off the truck windows.
Time to head out to work I think. I don’t want to, but I have to. See you all in a little while.
@ NoThreat2U:
get any sleep NT2U ,your up early
@ mawskrat:
Maybe about 4 hours. It’s becoming a habit. lol

Good Morning all, and Happy Christmas Eve!
This guy is a hero and, for his trouble, he’s being harassed and punished by TSA. He’s a 50 year old pilot who may well lose his job by telling the truth about “airline security”.
Having spent 7 years in this business, I can tell you that everything he says is the absolute truth and every American should hear what he has to say.
They’re treating him like a criminal. This is BULLSHIT!
We just had to rush this thing through right away, and now the Russians are going to take their time. Geez, how friggn’ stupid can can Obama make us look?
need fresh thread…I’m bogged down here
