Wrestling Babes of Lucha Libre Have Cojones [21 PHOTOS]

To start the Cinco de Mayo celebration, we salute Lucha libre. In Spanish speaking countries, professional wrestling is the traditional sport that creates national folk heroes. Lucha libre (translation: free fight) is characterized by colorful masks, rapid sequences of holds, and high-flying maneuvers. The classic lucha libre mask holds high significance. The biggest kick in the huevos in lucha libre is when the loser of a match is forced to remove his mask in disgrace. In this macho sport, the female wrestlers (luchadoras) are just as respected as the male wrestlers. [photo courtesy of Reuters]

Bolivia has its own twist on the theatrical free fighting. These brawling femme fatales trade the lucha libre masks for traditional Bolivian bowler hats and colorful twirling skirts (“pollera”) – each skirt a different color depending on the region the fighter is from. The most successful Bolivian female wrestlers go by such handles as Yolanda  ”The Loved One,” Julia “From La Paz,” and Ana “The Avenger.” Not only do these luchadoras beat each other up (sometimes utilizing wooden crates), but they also open their skirted-can-of-whoop-ass on the male referee – where the cojones are a frequent target.

The big time for luchadoras is Lucha Libre Femenil. Mexican women’s wrestling is considered a perpetual battle between good and evil. These ass-kicking ladies adopt shiny leotards, bright pantyhose, and occasionally the traditional lucha libre mask. A typical match is more like a violent cat fight – with kicks to the face and heads squeezed in mighty, leg scissor-holds. Hell yes! These are the bad girls we love:

Marijuana-Laced Wine Hits a New High

The popularity of pot wine is on the rise in Northern California. Infusing wine with THC has become all the rage amongst the Northern California’s wine country sect. Why? A very simple math formula explains the reasoning:

People love wine + People who love weed = Pot Wine

This drug-fueled, crazy-vino-concoction is like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. (“You got your weed in my wine.” “You got your wine in my weed.”) Two great highs that go great together!

Dr. Vino

The recipe for pot wine is simple: Drop one pound of marijuana into a cask of fermenting wine…that’s pretty much about f-ing it. No muss! No fuss! No unsightly panty lines! Let the magic of marijuana do the rest. One pound should yield about 1.5 grams of pot per bottle.

Marijuana-Laced Wine Science Fact: The fermentation process converts the sugar in grapes into alcohol. Meanwhile, the alcohol extracts the THC from marijuana. The result: You get really messed up!

Marijuana-laced wine got this writer’s mind racing. The possibilites of pot wine varieties are endless:

-Ditchweed Chardonnay

-Moocah Sauvignon Blanc

-Maui Wauie Merlot

-Panama Red Pinot Noir

Etc, etc, etc…

If you’re interested in making your very own marijuana-Laced wine, the good folks at Big Buds Mag have provided a handy recipe:

Tools:
2-one gallon jugs with caps, several smaller bottles, a 3-ft. length of plastic tubing (try the non-PVC kind), and muslin

Ingredients:
1. Minimum four ounces of fresh stems of marijuana stalks, leaves, branches
(talk about reuse & recycle). No seeds, they’re just too oily.
2. Fruit. Try two oranges and a lemon.
3. About 3 pounds of wine or 3 pounds of sugar, or a mixture of honey and sugar totaling 3 pounds. If you like a more desert wine flavor, use an additional ½ pound of sugar; for a drier wine use ½ less.
4. One fresh active yeast cake (not dry yeast).

Directions:
1. Place stems and leaves into the jug. Don’t skimp, use as much as possible.
2. Squeeze the fruit juice into the jug. No canned or boxed juices, fresh is best.
3. Heat 3 quarts of water to boil in a non-aluminum pan (consider avoiding non-stick too). Dissolve the sweetener in the water.
4. Pour the water into the jug, cap and shake well. Loosen the cap and leave to cool.
5. Use warm (not boiling) water to dissolve the yeast cake entirely.
6. Check to see if the jug has cooled down. If it has, pour the yeast mixture into the jug, shake well and take the cap off.
7. Pour about 2 inches worth of cool water into the jug, making sure to leave space at the top cover loosely.
8. Place the jug in a dark area like a cupboard or closet. If the liquid bubbles out, just wipe it off.
9. Over the next few days, occasionally unscrew the cap and push the contents down with a sterilized wooden spoon or kitchen utensil. Close the top loosely when done.
10. Fermentation will last about 2 weeks, with the liquid bubbling to the surface. Add a bit of cool water during this time every few days and repeat pushing the contents down. Never keep the cap tightly closed.
11. Average fermenting time is about 4 weeks. To check if it’s ready, tip the jug back and forth. If no bubbles rise from the stems, the fermentation is done. Do not shake the jug.

Bottling and Storing:
1. When the process is complete, move the jug very carefully so as not to disturb the sentiments at the bottom.
2. Uncap the jug and insert the plastic piping about one inch from the bottom. Siphon the contents into a clean glass jug through the muslin; this will remove the particles from the liquid. Don’t worry if the wine looks murky, it will dissipate in time.
3. Take the new jug, cap it loosely and place in a dark place. The old jug can be thrown away, stems included.
4. Leave the new jug in place, no moving or shaking it. A layer of dark sediment will gather at the bottom. Leave undisturbed for one month.
5. Rinse several new bottles in boiling water and carefully siphon the wine into them over a muslin layer. Cap them and seal the cap with electrical tape or melted wax.
6. The wine is ready, but it’s not aged well yet. Place the bottles back in their dark spot and leave for as long as possible. Consider leaving for another 6 months, this will greatly improve the taste and clarity.

Women’s Pillow Fight League: Let the Feathers Fly

Who doesn’t love a big, strong women who can kick some major ass? First off: This is not your average slumber party. (Or it is if your average slumber party involves women beating the crap out of each other with sleeping-headrest- implements.) What if you took the Suicide Girls (not pictured above), put pillows in their lovely hands, then had these tattooed maidens swing it out in an arena – TO THE DEATH! (Okay, I lied about the death part/stand positive on the swinging pillow part.)

Where do you find this head-thumping, feather-flying action? Welcome to Bedlam: All-Girl Pillow Fight Review – one of Canada’s numerous femme pillow fight leagues. [photo courtesy of Angelique Ashton]

Women’s pillow fight competition has taken off for our little buddies to the north. Best described as a cross between WWE and women kicking the sh*t out of each other – women’s pillow fight events attract crowds over 200 – who come to the events to drink beer, shout obscenities, and root for such costumed, pillow fight female favorites as Lovely Handles, Stella Lugosi, and Charley Davidson.

Will female pillow fighting replace hockey as Canada’s national sport? Check out the pics and decide…

Craigslist Roommate Nightmares: Obese Nudists, House Boys and Lawn Mowing

Painful dental work is on par with trying to find a descent roommate off a Craigslist ad. It’s a creepy world out there – and it’s our job at COED to point out exactly how creepy it is. Time to look at more Craigslist Roommate Nightmares. This week we have obese nudists, house boys, and sexual uninhibited people who like to mow the lawn. Do you want shivers to run up the back of your neck? Read on. Then weep. Then read on some more. Weep again:

$300 looking for nudist roomate

Ad Reads:32 Hispanic male looking for another male nudist roommate. I have a 1 bedroom apartment. Bedroom is big enough to fit another bed. Not looking for sex in exchange for rent. Prefer someone that is my age or younger and not obese. Even tho its not gonna be sexual, I don’t want to look at a naked obese or chubby person when I’m at home.

My Take: That’s right, all you older fatties need not apply. Go find your own 1 bedroom apartment where you can do things like eat tubs of chicken with your obese fingers and let the crumbs fall between the crevices of the folds in your naked, obese body – only to find the crumb-remnants days or weeks later. You and your naked obese/chubby person body wont be allowed to sit around my 1 bedroom apartment and watch reruns of Ice Road Truckers – not on my watch; not on my watch!

Looking for a YOUNG, BIG live-in HOUSE BOY!

Ad Reads: You need to be tall, well-built, straight acting and appearing THE MORE MASCULINE AND MUSCULAR THE BETTER and a easy going chill kinda guy who’s eager to please and have fun. I provide for all the living expenses you provide your own food and clothes and incidentals and You are my BOY TOY…

I’m looking for a young tall well-built guy who needs a place to stay and is willing to exchange sexual favors for it!!! I live in Silicon Valley about 45 min from SF and I’m looking for a Live-In House boy. I’m clean and bug free so You be also and I’m very discreet and like to keep my personal life private..

My Take: Damn! I was all set to answer your ad – except I’m not bug free. Yes, I’m a bug infested BOY TOY. Is that really a deal breaker? Couldn’t one of the expenses you – my new roommate – provide be bug spray? I’m muscular and masculine – I just happen to have a lot of bugs. We could take care of it in a very discreet manner – then live on together in perfect bug-free-boy-toy-harmony.

$400 ………..Nice Apartment/ Female Roommate Only

Ad Reads: Clean nice apartment highrise, with 24 sign in security. Not looking for nothing sexual but very nice roommate that keep to myself.

My Take: Nothing wrong here. First, nothing sexual is going to go on with your new roommate – that’s why he clearly states so in the ad. He just wants to keep you to himself – that’s all; forever and ever…Most likely in a deep well hidden in the basement – where he’ll do some weird dance for you with his man-parts between his legs.

$450 Room mate needed, female only please!

Ad Reads: We are seeking a single or divorced female to share our home. We will consider a single mother with an infant, toddler or young child on a case-by-case basis. We will not consider a male/female couple, or a female who has a boyfriend that plans on staying with her most nights. Men, DO NOT REPLY please.

Our “perfect” room mate:

Sexy

Great ass and legs. Nice rack is appreciated, but optional.

Wild and uninhibited!

Loves to clean, cook and do all home chores, to include mowing the lawn.

Prefers to lounge around the house scantily clad.

Gives great massages, (MAJOR BONUS POINTS!)

Bi or Lesbian get bonus points!

Strippers and dancers encouraged to apply!

Pays rent on time.

We’re open-minded, playful and love to flirt, tease, harass and laugh. Playful sarcasm and suggestive remarks and innuendo are constantly flying about. We relax and lounge about in boxers, PJ’s, boy shorts, sweats and any other comfortable attire.

My Take: Nothing wrong here. I happen to have a nice rack, great ass, and legs (two of them in fact). What’s the problem here? Plus, I have an insatiable love for mowing the lawn. The more lawns, the beter. And when I’m done with mowing the lawn – it’s massage time! The only problem is: when I lounge around  in comfortable attire, it’s usually a Nazi SS uniform. Is that a deal breaker?

Rock Superstars With Awesome Day Jobs

If I were a rock god (it could happen), I’d be content with my gold records, whiskey-filled Jacuzzi, and jaguar on a leash. I’m a simple person with simple needs. But for some real actual superstars, rock fame just isn’t enough. These renaissance men need to show us mere mortals that they can excel in every endeavor they dip their stupid little superstar rock fingers into. Want to feel poor about your achievements? Get off the couch and read on: [photo courtesy of ItLoud]

Brian May/Guitarist for Queen

Brian May is on Rolling Stone’s list of the Top 100 guitarists ever – EVER! Street creds: This god-of-rock played the guitar solo on “We Are the Champions,” sang the bass parts on “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and penned the anthem “We Will Rock You.” With those rock accolades, a guy could pretty much retire to his own private island and bang supermodels all day long. But that wasn’t enough for Mr. May. This renaissance bloke is also an astrophysicist. May earned a doctorate from Imperial College in 2007. His dissertation was on interplanetary dust. His book on the subject, Bang! The Complete History of the Universe, was released in 2006. May’s passion for physics was also an inspiration for Queen. According to NPR:

In “We Will Rock You,” he designed the sound of the famous “stomp stomp clap” section — to make it sound like thousands of people were stomping and clapping — based on his knowledge of sound waves and distances.

That’s right, Brian May is a major nerd. When not remastering old Queen recordings, May serves as chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University. Rock on Chancellor May!

Greg Graffin/ Lead vocalist for Bad Religion
Bad Religion is considered one of the most successful and influential punk acts in U.S. history. Formed in 1979, this L.A. hardcore band has sold over 5 million albums worldwide. Lead vocalist Greg Graffin belted out songs with a social consciousness; riddled with political and religious commentary. In 2003, he earned his PhD in Zoology from Cornell University. Though he continues to tour with Bad Religion, Graffin also spends a couple of semesters each year as a science professor at UCLA. Give me a B+ for impressed Professor Graffin!

Gary Numan/Pilot
If you’ve watched the British comedy show, The Mighty Boosh, you are aware of Gary Numan’s musical magnitude that woos Vince Noir.  Numan is considered a pioneer of electronic music. Known for his chart-topping hits “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” and “Cars,” his signature sound consisted of heavy synthesiser hooks fed through guitar effects pedals. But that wasn’t enough for Mr. Numan; he has a secondary career as a leading stunt pilot.

“I wanted to be a pop star, a pilot, or a racing car driver,” Numan said. “All very similar schoolboy ideas!”

Are we friends electric? You bet Pilot Numan!

Moby/Electronica DJ and Tea Shop Owner
Besides his feuds with Eminem, Moby is one of the preeminent electronica artist in the music. This trademarked bald, vegan and animal rights activist – is also a tea shop owner…Okay, that’s not as exciting as being a stunt pilot, teaching science, guy who invented free chat, or studying dust particles – but Moby often acts as waiter at his own tea shop; which must be a puzzling to customers. (“Moby, are the records selling that poorly?)

“Another Earl Gray, Mr. Moby!”

What the Right And Left Should Agree Upon: Moment of Clarity [VIDEO]

The news media wants us to believe there’s a war between the politically Right and Left of this country. Pundit shows bait the two parties against each other – like a political cockfight where only one contendor can emerge victorious. (Why can’t we all just get along!?) The world issues aren’t always black and white; it’s not always a battle between good and evil or Coke vs. Pepsi. But don’t tell that to the good folks at FOX News or MSNBC. [photo by Dhaka Courier]

Comedian Lee Camp examines this phenomenon in his weekly Moment of Clarity. What ever your stance might be on the death penalty – we can all stand against the death of an innocent man. Right? The same holds true with this week’s Occupy Wall Street’s May Day protest. Whether you’re for the movement or against it – you should demand Occupy’s freedom of speech because it effects your rights too.

Lee sinks his teeth into Occupy, along with the Michigan’s emergency manager law, and more importantly, why pen tops should taste like candy. Watch and learn:

Black Bloc Not Part of the Occupy Movement

First of all, I used to live in the Mission District of San Francisco. This is the neighborhood where a majority of the Occupy movement would call home. The Mission is traditionally a Latino neighborhood – overrun by hipsters. On Monday night, a group of protestors wreaked havoc on the ‘hood. Rumors are flying that the anarchist group, The Black Bloc, is behind the mindless destruction of one of the most beloved neighborhoods in San Francisco. The group has gained a reputation for sparking violence at other protests in Seattle and across the country. (Or were the Feds really behind it?) [photo courtesy of The Blaze]

The Occupy movement is against big corporations. It would make no sense that they would organize a march to smash up the locally-owned businesses on Valencia Street. The neighborhood is as un-corporate as it gets. Years ago, the neighborhood signed a petition to forbid  a Gap store from setting up shop on the block. If the Occupy movement were behind this dumbass display of needless anarchy, they would have targeted Union Square – and such businesses as Macy’s, Starbucks, and The Gap. Instead, windows were smashed and Anarchy symbols were spray-painted on walls  at such small establishments as Bar Tartine, Four Barrel Coffee and Farina.

To give you  an example of part of the senseless damage, some idiot broke one of my favorite storefront windows:

“This was not Occupy,” said Magick, a spokesperson for Occupy SF. “For the past few months we’ve been working hard to build support for peaceful, creative May Day events, and then this happens in one of our very dearest neighborhoods: the Mission. We don’t know who did this and it’s heartbreaking that this group would undermine our efforts.”

According to SF Fist:

At Four Barrel, a handiman fixing the shop’s door was struck with a crowbar, but he was able to keep protesters from shattering the windows. Vinny Eng, Manager of Bar Tartine, also told SFist that service continued throughout the protests, despite one broken window in a side section of the dining room. At Farina, protesters sprayed Anarchy symbols and “Yuppies Out” on the restaurant’s window while diners remained inside.

At Locanda, near 16th Street, one protester unsuccessfully attempted to smash the front window with the restaurant’s valet stand. According to Locanda’s manager, the restaurant was still serving food around midnight. One employee, however, later left work only to find that the vandals had smashed out her car’s windshield.

May Day Protests Keep the 1% On Their Toes [PHOTO]

People are plain pissed off. The 1% received a strong wake up call on May 1st, as hundreds of thousands of angry protesters took to the streets – demanded an end to income inequality, housing foreclosures, and calling for greater immigrant’s rights. The Occupy Wall Street movement breathed new life into its campaign against corporate excess with a series of May Day protests across around the globe. [lead image by FOX News}

LA Times

The protests’ aim was to bring business to a standstill – with the movement’s most anticipated day of action in months. While impassioned protests were far less violent than the demonstrations that erupted last fall, clashes with police did erupt in San Francisco, Oakland, and Seattle.

Le Chat Noir Emeutier

Storefronts were smashed, cars vandalized, police resorted to teargas and pepper spray; firing “flash-bang” grenades to disperse protesters – who were wrestled to the ground while arrests were made.

NY Daily News

Though scores of arrests were made in several major cities the May Day protest was far less violent than some of the scenes witnessed last fall when the Occupy movement was at its peak.

Protesting or Pole Dancing: How Did You Spend Your May Day?

Today is May Day. Traditionally, May 1st is an ancient spring European festival – primarily centered within Germanic. nations. Typical May Day activities involve a festival dance around a maypole – simply a part of the general rejoicing at the return of summer and the growth of new vegetation.

Here’s what dancing around the maypole looks like. Dance fair maidens, dance!:

For 99% of other revelers, May Day is about fleeing stinging tear gas, as portest were organized across county to standup for labor and immigration rights – to show the 1 percent” what life without the “99 percent” would look like. Workers and students were told to take a day off in solidarity against income inequality and “unjust” corporate practices.

According to ABC News, “An estimated 200 protesters are in Madison Square Park in New York City, while another 500 people are in Bryant Park. In Chicago, an estimated 1,000 people have gathered in a section of Union Park despite occasional rain, the Chicago Tribune reported. There have been an unknown number of arrests in Philadelphia and Los Angeles International Airport related to the protests.“

Here’s what their May Day celebration looked like:

So how did you spend you May Day? I’m sure there were more members of the 1% dancing around maypoles.

Pirate Bay Says “Aaaargh” to Copyright Issues

Once again the United Kingdom is battling pirates. This time around it’s not of the lovable Johnny Depp/Capt. Jack Sparrow variety. These pirates sail the high-seas of the Internet – pillaging copyright violations by providing free downloadable copies of Shrek and Moneyball. According to the Guardian:

A UK court has ordered the country’s internet service providers (ISPs) to block the Pirate Bay website for copyright violations, using technology originally intended to block child pornography sites.

Are you familiar with Pirate Bay? (Perhaps you used it to download a free copy of Sex in the City 2.) The site serves as a search engine for torrents. But there’s a dark side: No good-niks have taken peer-to-peer, filesharing linksit into their own hands for the purpose of bad (or good – depending how you look at it): to share copyrighted content including films and music.

Much like the effectiveness of the War on Drugs, the War on Pirate Bay has had similar failed results – due to the following methods:

1) Users could use anonymisation software such as Tor to bypass simple blocks.
2) They could simply switch to one of the numerous other well-known sites that offer similar services.
3) To cut out even one high-profile filesharing website would quickly require apparatus as sophisticated as the great firewall of China.
4) Attempting to keep the system of copyright intact, ever more drastic measures are needed – either in terms of the scale of the censorship technology needed, or in terms of the collateral damage.

Obviously, the best defense to stop this copyright piracy is for a fancy lawyer to write a strongly worded letter; don’t mess around with Dreamworks – especially when it comes to their precious Shrek – that’s exactly what they did; they wrote a strongly worded letter to the Swedish-based company:

Whom It May Concern:

DreamWorks is the exclusive owner of all copyright,trademark and other intellectual property rights in and to the ‘Shrek’ motion picture. No one is authorized to copy, reproduce, distribute, or otherwise use the ‘Shrek 2′ motion picture without he express written permission of DreamWorks.

In accordance with the DMCA, we request your assistance in the removal of infringements of the ‘Shrek 2′
motion picture from this web site and any other sites for which you act as an Internet Service Provider. We further declare under penalty of perjury that we are authorized to act on behalf of DreamWorks.

Don’t mess with the Swedes – these are a race of people who are not only of Viking stock, but they also brought the world Ikea furniture. Having a US company tell Pirate Bay to shut down their site goes over as well as trying to figure out how to set up that self-assembled white coffee table. Further, you don’t want to piss off a Swedish guy named Anakata; he’ll curtly retort to Dreamworks with something along the lines of:

As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States
of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe.
Unless you figured it out by now, US law does not apply here.
For your information, no Swedish law is being violated.

Please be assured that any further contact with us, regardless of medium,
will result in
a) a suit being filed for harassment
b) a formal complaint lodged with the bar of your legal counsel, for
sending frivolous legal threats.

It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are ……. morons, and
that you should please go sodomize yourself with retractable batons.

Please also note that your e-mail and letter will be published in full on

http://www.thepiratebay.org.

Go fuck yourself.

Polite as usual,
anakata

That’s right Dreamworks and Shrek 2 – don’t f-with Sweden! This is the country that brought us ABBA, crappy wooden furniture, and they will mock you over your laws.

Horrifying Cigarette Commercials [NSFL]

Last year, I was at the Kota Kinabalu airport in Malaysia. I was jolted to a nightmarish harsh reality at the airport gift shop by the warning labels of cigarette cartons. They told the tale of smoking horrors -the likes which I’ve seen anywhere else in the world. For example, here’s a typical Malaysian cigarette warnings with grotesque imagery that you can never unsee. (I couldn’t bring myself to print some of the more disgusting cigarette packaging examples: Shriveled fetus, anyone?)

This display of human horrors associated with cigarette smoking is a far cry from the smoking ads of yesteryear:

I don’t know what they were smoking back then, but apparently doctors were recommending a good, healthy cigarette. According to the ad, “It’s the peppery dust left in tobacco by inefficient cleaning methods that makes you cough.” The cpy under the logo reads “Mild… No cigaretty after-taste.” That’s right:cigaretty after-taste was the main concern with cancer sticks.

Vintage cigarette TV ads sang the same tune. Apparently in 1949′s, more doctors smoked Camels than any other cigarette:

What cigarette do you smoke, doctor? Huh? Do you hear me doctor? I’m talking to you! This commercial makes smoking seem so glamorous – and excellent to hear that smoking is good for your throat.

Even hot, retro babes loved smoking. Check out this TV commercial from the innocent days of smoking. Oh yeah, Lady Be Cool – you’re my lady!:

No punches are pulled in modern-era smoking ads. Perhaps Lady Be Cool is now one of the new crop of anti-smoking ads. My guess she is the blond woman with the wig. Oh yes, how the times have changed.

Post Modern YouTube Avant-Garde Cinema: Goo-Goo GaGa

From time to time, we at COED salute avant-garde filmmakers whose work is so far ahead of its time…that they have gotten less than 50 views on YouTube. This is the true underground of filmmaking. These directors aren’t after fame or big box office success – they do their cinematic craft simply for the love of the art.

THIS WEEK: Goo-Goo GaGa

DIRECTOR: shiroldsho
VIEWS: 42
COMMENTS: 0

Okay, for maximum enjoyment, forget for a moment that this video is of a family gathering and instead is set in a mental hospital. Now sit back and enjoy the video. shiroldsho’s work, Goo-Goo GaGa, brings to mind the 80′s experimental work of Jim Jarmusch or Fellini’s 8 1/2.

Filmed in one static shot, Goo-Goo GaGa creates a carnival of characters – that we wont soon forget. The neorealism of Goo-Goo GaGa points the camera, not at the characters attending a party, but…AT OURSELVES! We look for future film projects from shiroldsho.

No CGI Needed: Yosemite Time Lapse Hoedown [Video]

Do you know what kicks ass? Mother-flippin’ nature. I’m serious. The great outdoors is its own Industrial Light and Magic machine. Check out the video: Yosemite Range of Light. This amazing piece of work is a jaw-dropping time-lapse video of Yosemite National Park created by Shawn Reeder.

Here’s what Mr. Reeder has to see about the inception of this piece of work:

Ever since I serendipitously won a trip to Yosemite when I was 18, the beautiful Range of Light has captured my heart and become my home. Nothing brings me more joy than to share this life changing beauty with others. Ever since I became fascinated with timelapse photography almost 2 years ago, I’ve wanted to do a piece on Yosemite & the Sierra. Now after almost two years of shooting, I´m thrilled to share it with you. I hope you enjoy my vision of my home, the majestic Yosemite & Sierra.

Hell yes. Check it out for yourself (full-screen this puppy up for best viewing):

Saucy Church Signs: Satan Made Me Do It [11 PHOTOS]

In high school, sign-changing was one of our big Saturday night stunts. We’d drive around and find video store and church signs – then switch around the movable letters so it read something clever like, “EAT ME!” or “I LIKE BALLS!” Oh how we laughed, and laughed, and laughed. A final photo was the proof of the pudding of our letter-switching proclivities – which became on display for the general public.

In 2012, a prankster no longer has to risk being stopped by the police – for sign-letter-switching. Now we have sites like Church Sign Maker – where lazy bastards can generate their own church signs simply by typing in the text. See:

Sure Church Sign Maker is a highly fun site – but its not as fun as the adrenaline rush of pulling off a real-life sign change. Even funnier is unintentional, double entendre church signs. What were these religious institutions thinking when they displayed in front of their church such sign gems as: THE MOST POWERFUL POSITION IS ON YOUR KNEES.
