Monks and Pirates and Frontier Life!

Ladies on the frontier must always be prepared for the worst possible contingencies, specifically those involving bandits, brigands and brush salesmen! Edna Euphamiassen practices regularly with her single-shot 'Budhapster's Reporter'. She can reportedly take a man's dignity at 400yards (what's a yard?)

On the other side of the equation are those wild horsemen (and Antelope-men) of the eastern plains! Tattoo-ed and hungry, they will stampede the tiny settlements if only to watch television, before riding into the dusty sunset while small boys say, 'that wasn't so bad, was it now?'. (Cue interesting mongolian remix of Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western scores.

Filthy pirates and their nautical habits! Red-eyed Stanley here is a master of ropes and strings and stuff.

MORE PIRATEY TYPES! (this fellow spent FAR too long looking at the cover of Prince Charming! 'Try and use a mirror, not a bullet or a kniiiiiiife!')

Pangolin's are ALWAYS getting caught up in one sort of crazy or another. This chap isn't just a religious type, he's ALSO carrying a burning sphere (he claims it's magical and stuff, but really it's just on fire!)

Kung Fu Jungle...

Twas not the night Red feared, but the scraggly trees with their biting, biting comments!
"ooh, is that what you're wearing?"
"Here she comes in her 'camouflage'"
'Y'know that's not going to scare any wolves don't you?"
But still she persevered, her gas lantern burning low. The prospect of Wolf-Pie at the woodcutters house being just the incentive she needed!


And lo Barnaby did spy 'pon the orizon a ship of great size!
Or is that shop? (Barnaby wasn't much good with letters...)


The old insisted he was still ok to fight, and with a stick like that we weren't going to argue!

That Pirate's durn Chicken!

In the inky black waters off the coast of Skull Island... a boat full of cut-throat pirates schemes.

Pirates and Puritans and a whole passel o' trouble!

Listening to Hoyt Curtin's EXCELLENT BotP soundtrack and tidying up pics for the ol' Bloggo. What more could a man need?I think this image is Sun Wu Kong the day after his birthday, when he HAS to wear the new hat his monkey-mummy gave him, but he doesn't really want to cos it's a floppy hat, and floppy hats are SOOOOO last epoch, and besides, how will he achieve enlightenment with this stupid hat falling in his eyes allathetime! WARGH!

The Wombat is the sleakest of all water-dwelling mammals. With his thick downy coat and prehensile tail, he is well adapted to the darkest parts of the ocean, where he wrestles with giant molluscs and the occasional recalcitrant zoologist.

This pair set out from Bathurst town at 11am. The puritan stopped to witness 13 times, while the pirate spent his time waylaying coach-tynes and pillaging. Who reached Lithgow first?
With colour, I am still disgruntled and almost peevish!
