They Died With Gucci's On

/snip

Satellite photos show that construction of new facilities continues in the suburbs of the capital, where the elite families live. There is no let-up in the importing of luxury goods, including automobiles. The leaders in the north are determined to go down with their Gucci's on. One thing the elite cannot have is cell phones. The use of such devices was made legal again at the beginning of the year (at least in the capital), and all the swells, and even their college age kids, have them. But not the most senior officials, who will often discuss top secret matters on the phone. Because security officials are certain that the United States is able to eavesdrop on any wireless communications, that do not want to risk having senior officials using cell phones at all.

Ping!

(The “good parts” of) Pyongyang and Martha’s Vineyard are beginning to sound a lot alike these days!

[TigerLikesRooster]

Oh, yes, PRM (People's Republic of Massachusetts) is definitely a badly decaying socialist basket case with an tiny enclave of obscenely rich and corrupt elites.

[paulycy]

Thanks! That's great! From the bottom of my boogety, boogety, boogety shoes! (It's been a LONG time since I've heard that classic.)

What the heck is THAT all about??? Basket heads with bound hands? Some sort of prisoner march, I guess.

The fate they have in store for us Evil Capitalists????

BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Daffynition]

Anytime I post that, everyone asks the same question. I shoulda saved the link of where I found it ............eerie photo that.

The idea would make a good TV pilot ... we could call it the “Coneheads” or sumptin’.

[paulycy]

............eerie photo that.

Yes. I can't think of anything that creepy that didn't have bloody gore (not Al) or something unthinkable associated with it (well, maybe Al, too.)

What the heck was going through the mind of the person who came up with that, especially involving children????

You get the bizarre post of the month award, my FRiend! ;0)

[SevenofNine]

OH MAN That so wrong so funny

[Daffynition]

I can't believe it .... I found my source. Still don't know what the heck it's about though. [scroll 1/3 way down]

[paulycy]

Good job! It's a good example of Engrish, too.

"So, what do you gals/guys think? Is this what you imagine we do to bad little kids who don’t do their chunks in English class?"

Nobody seems to know what this whole thing means.

[JoeProBono]

YOU TINK YOU FUNNY?!!

[paulycy]

"Who you pointing at, smarr fly???"

[gaijin]

The uniform appears to be a low-cost re-make of the Japanese Imperial Army uniform for enlisted men. Needless to say, the wearer of the uniform has hair WAY too long to be an actual serviceman, and his faces looks more Chinese or Korean than Japanese.

The bonnets look very much like a punishment hat for important political criminals in Japan in WW2.

They appear not to be actually hand-cuffed, so my guess is that this is a historical re-enactment of abuse by Japaense soldiers of their countrymen for a Chinese or NK elementary school in a big city.

This photo raises the issue of panty hose. Have they mastered the technology, or like Russia must they import them?

[razorback-bert]

They can even make fake Gucci’s well.

I just ran across this, while looking for something else ... is this not PC?

The 6 Brown Bros. Sax ensemble.

[Daffynition]

You could be right. Thank you so much for the insight!

[paulycy]

Well, the picture sure ain’t PC these days.

Have you ever heard a really good saxophone quintet or combo? I knew the guys that played at Disneyland in Southern CA real well and they were great. They could do corny stuff, of course, but also really cool sophisticated stuff.

It’s a very unique sound with the saxes ranging in size from very small to huge. It’s just something that not everybody gets a chance to experience.

My faves:

Charlie "Bird" Parker

Stan Getz

and you can't get any better than ...

John Coltrane

[paulycy]

[Daffynition]

Very nice. I’m listening to Coltrane’s version of Billy Eckstine’s “I Want to Talk About You” ...funny you should ask!
