Guided by the Beauty of our Weapons (#2)

1894.
1962.

If this progression continues, the next image in the series will appear in 2030, and the child will be carrying an ion-accelerator cell-disruptor cannon in one hand, with the other hand surgically modified to shoot bees.

Also, this totally proves my point about how in the old days we didn't have all your plastic toys so we used our imagination and made our own fun using two sticks. So you kids can just shut up when I mention it, and stop rolling your eyes and hiding my ear-trumpet.

You're Banksy right? Once again this is dangerously close to art.

Coinkadentally, Ferdinand Hodler and Diane Arbus were both born on March 14, 70 years apart.

Hamish Mack said...

Only one question. Shoots at bees or shoots bees at people? Because there's a lot of people I'd like to shoot bees at.

Smut Clyde said...

The latter, I believe, although Mr N__B is the expert on transhuman bee-bee guns.

Hamish Mack said...

Heh heh imagine bouncing them off Rodney Hide's head with the soundtrack of Apollo 10 circling the moon.

Is that a bee-shooter I see before me,
The hexagonal wax cells in my hand?

Those images are quite disturbing and they frighten me.

I'm going to go to Redtube now to try and find my happy place...

The lowly hand grenade has given way to the ass grenade. Here, a launcher awaits its payload.

Soon we will ALL have drag-and-drop eyes.

ion-accelerator whatsit and bees? Old man, your childhood must've stunk if you had to use your imgaination. By 2030, the kids'll have guns that shoot lawyers with restraining orders or cease and desist letters or worse.

And I mean shoot lawyers not in the good way.

And that's why I'm yellin' at them to STAY OFFA MAH LAWN now, whilst I still can.

In NZild it's not the lawyers we fear http://norightturn.blogspot.com/2010/11/inconsistent.html

In MY day we dreamed of having sticks. All we had was our thumb and forefinger.

I am with Mikey on this. I don't like those little boys.

Might have nightmares now. :/

I have PUH-LENTY of nothing to give.

Please let's not merge the concepts of "giving" and "colon."

Whale Chowder said...

Give a man a colon and he shits for a day.

Feed a man from a colon and you have a human caterpillar, and isn't that what we really want?

Whale Chowder said...

CENTIPEDE, dammit, centipede!

augh!

I hang my colon in shame.

Smut Clyde said...

If you like, WC, you can re-submit your comment in the CORRECT FORM, and I will invisibly delete the previous attempts and we can draw a discrete veil over the entire sad episode.

Mendacious D said...

I hang my colon in shame.

Sounds unnecessarily painful.

mikey said...

Oh, I dunno. I'm pretty certain that MY colon is guilty of a number of capital offenses.

In the words of that wise young man, Hannover Fiste, hangin's too good for 'im...
