Cheesecake Of The Ancients

Filed under Art, History, Humor, OOT, Open thread at February 26th, 2012 - 11:00 pm

“The Dancing Venus of Galgenberg is unique. Her head and limbs are carefully depicted, and even accented with openings in the stone. Her left arm is raised with the hand behind the head. She stands with her weight resting insouciantly on one foot, and the right hand is placed on the hip. One breast is shown in profile, the other is carved in low relief. In my column, I drew attention to Betty Grable’s familiar pose.

“The Dancing Venus is no Mother Goddess. This is a chick with sex appeal. Cheesecake since the dawn of time.

Really? A poorly sculpted lump of jade was stoneage juvenile wankage material? Let’s file this in the Whodathunkit Category on The Overnight Open Thread.

    So, how do we know this isn’t some cave dude posed victoriously with his foot on his vanquished prey and the left protrusion is actually a quiver on his back?

    Just to be a buzzkill and make all ya’ll who were excited by the caveman porn go “ewww”

    @ Bunk X:
    Checked out your defense of Sen McCain’s service vs. current policy. I agree with you. For Savage to suggest McCain be sent back to the H. Hilton is twisted and repugnant. Diminishes his suffering.

    Not calling Savage names, just strongly disagree with his words.

    No {{Calo}} those he-men don’t understand women do they?
    Sometimes we don’t even know, but when lightning strikes we know.
    Men think one part of their body interests us. Nope. For me it’s the lip and the arms and most of all their personalilty and their confidence.

    Well, you aren’t gonna get any type of retraction from me, no sir. In fact, I am going to put up a post this week detaling McCains crimes against this Republic for reaching across the aisle to the marxist democrats and enabling Barack Obama and his ilk to destroy this country.

    By the way, here is a comment you made to me….

    Fuck off. Cracking on ANY POW is chickenshit. You are no better than Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, shooting fish in a barrel. Kneel with a 2-inch diameter bostick behind your knees for a few days and see how you walk afterwards. Savage, you owe an apology to POWs everywhere.

    Bunk, I challenge you to find anything in my comment disparaging all POWS. I only wish for ONE man to go back to Hanoi and that is John McCain.

    Another thing I want you to know. I was beaten black and blue as a kid from the time I was 6 years old to the time I got out of high school by my classmates. Kneeling with a bostick for a few days would be HEAVEN to what I went through as a kid. So think about that for a while, ok???

    The message is Terrorism works. The Muzz have successfully parleyed 9-11 into real political power in the west. They kill our troops, and we appoligize for offending them. I’d say there is abacklash building, though. When it comes, will the Left wring their hands and ask why we hate them? Probably not. They don’t seem concerned with our grievances.

    lower taxes are great the loss in value not so much

    I had a house become unsellable except at great up-front loss. IIRC, two more monthly mortgage payments and I own it outright.
