A Scanner Darkly -- The Outtakes #1

Bob Arctor was not convinced that a scramble suit for an entire building was an effective way of concealing the Department.

I hope that Another Kiwi gets back from holiday soon. Running out of ideas, and also single malt -- he has the card for the Riddled account at the bottle store.

UPDATE: Bonus Megastore Gasometer.

I have also added drag-&-drop spiders pubic lice to mollify certain commentors. You know who you are.

Oh my... when does the fountain gush out of the top?

Sebastia said...

Now trying doing THAT with an Andreas Gursky image. Ha!

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Jennifer goes straight for the filthbot!!

mikey said...

We're holding a couple'o jugs of Laphroaig, a couple more of brandy, some gin, a great big bottle of Sake and a baggie of medicinal marijuana that truly frightens me.

Come on over!

Hmmph. First I was going to animate the Bechers' "Gas-Holder" sequence, but the rhythmic way they rise and fall looks a bit organic, and I thought "No -- someone will read a lewd meaning from that. Needn't have bothered.

a couple'o jugs of Laphroaig, a couple more of brandy, some gin
That would work as an animated sequence.

an Andreas Gursky image
Saw his show 6 months ago at the Vancouver Art Gallery. I gloat.

Yeah, I'm sure your animation intentions were pure.

Big Bad Bald Bastard said...

You should submit these images to the good people of accidental dong, although these dongs are no accident!

Smut Clyde said...

I'm sure your animation intentions were pure.

But of course. They are the Animations of Morality whereof Wordsworth wrote.

Sometimes a throbbing, pulsating, erect tower is just a throbbing, pulsating, erect tower.

I can't help but think that, in the interest of comity on this little weblog, you might have wanted to add in a flexible, er, sheath over the bulge at the top.

Because if SOME people (and I think you know very well of whom I speak) start thinking you're endorsing circumcision in ANY case (except, perhaps, the life of the mutha), you're gonna have all sorts of foreskin-based mayhem on these comment pages.

Gnome Sane?

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

it DOES seem to be ribbed....

ckc (not kc) said...

the ladders and windows are a nice addition (for the gawkers)

Jennifer said...

Needs more shrubbery around the base.

Smut Clyde said...

It is partially retracted. No foreskin holocaust here!

Substance McGravitas said...

I can't help but think that those are spinning.

A handy technique. Or I've been drinking again. Hard to remember.

ckc (not kc) said...

...some gasometers, notably in Vienna, have been converted into living space and a shopping mall.

...waltz me away from these open flames, Johann

Smut Clyde said...

The big one in Oberhausen is now an exhibition space.
Damn. This is triggering currywurst cravings.

I can offer some drag-&-drop pubic lice DISGUISED AS SPIDERS.

Not a coincidence.

mikey said...

Hey, what, is it MY fault that 'johnson' rhymes with 'wisconsin'?

Sebastia said...

Has the good Herr Docktor viewed the radidly changing water towers under the influence of a handful of soma? Did an identity merge take place with the afore mentioned water tower?

ckc (not kc) said...

...well, whose fault do YOU think it is.

ckc (not kc) said...

(Ned Flanders water towers)

The dragging and dropping has proved to be more fun than it should be... I'm ashamed.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Jennifer is OK with spiders as long as SHE IS IN CONTROL.

mikey said...

Y'know, I had no idea that those storage thingies were called 'gasometers'.

I always thought a gasometer was something they installed in your pants to monitor your flatulence.

From Zimmer Frames to demented architects to gasometers, I have learned a great deal of critically important facts from this fine little weblog...

Memories...

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

demented architects

I suspect I should be taking offense at that....

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

I realize that this will fall like the thud of a dead feral baby around here, but I have to confess that taken outside of the fit-inducing animation, I find the architecture of these kind of things quite compelling....

The more contemporary steel-framed ones are particularly elegant.

you folk can go back to your weirdness now. I will shamble back to my drafting program.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

Here's a particularly fine conversion:

http://www.madlmayr.at/blog/wp-content/myfotos/2008_04_11_Stuttgart/Gasometer_b.jpg

I love the way the new portions seem to be nearly embracing the old, the fine, lightweight modern elements dancing with the stolid platonic form of the old....
but then, Imma zombie.

Substance McGravitas said...

The facial hair looks great on the top of the spinning penis, which is completely unlike any fantasy scenario I am contemplating.

If it is the redundancy that offends, I feel your pain.

busted link, you architect-denigrator.

You've seen Idris Khan's versions, I imagine.

Those could be charcoals, Smutty...

Crad for liquor cabinet in escrotier (fancy writing desk). PIN is 1234 which is NOT the releasing poison gas code, at all.

zombie rotten mcdonald said...

RELEASE THE POISON GAS, YOU SUICIDAL GOONS!! ZOMBIES ARE IMMUNE!!!

Goons are just sleepy...
