That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 23, 2024

Fat-bottomed girls, you make the rocking world go ’round

My original post in 2021:

Zeus’s date with Europa got off to a rocky start.

My original comment: I had no idea this happens when I order surf and turf.

How the artist got her to hold that pose, I’ll never know.

/// In the myths, (of which Ovid had written),

by Europa the god Jove was smitten.

As a white bull he flees

with her over the seas,

but this one is JOHN Bull, or Great Britain.

/// Everything which this picture depicts,

with the myth in its name, contradicts.

Ovid wrote she was dressed,

and of beauties, the best.

I think Félix here Brexit predicts.

The odds are extremely remote/

That Europa would go for a goat:/

She’d need something larger/

Like a bull or a charger:/

A goat wouldn’t keep her afloat…

Probably too soon, but some of the many comments on 3/1/21 (part 1):

Call me Ishmael: (posted in 3/1/21 comments, but meant for today …)

For the woman whose figure is full/

And whose evening’s outlook seems dull/

Help is still within reach:/

She can head for the beach/

And climb onto the back of a bull.

Strob: I guess this is a different “moon” than the one of Jupiter.

Strob: Kim Kardashian resorts to ever more desperate measures to maintain her internet following.

rmremail: And now I know where mermaids come from.

P51Strega:Zeus took a lady to sea,

Totally naked went she,

He as a bull,

she as a fool,

The result was a manatee.

Call me Ishmael: Nuthin could be finer than a bovine ocean liner in the mo-or-or-nin’..

Call me Ishmael: Nuthin could be drearier than a ponderous posterior in the mor-or-nin’..

Call me Ishmael: His intentions may well be Stygian / (it’s part of the Grecian religion) / but you can see why / a guy who could fly / would pursue that particular pigeon.

Call me Ishmael: Europa was Zeus’s delight / a steatopygous sprite / whose amphibious talents / were equally balanced / by her willingness to travel light.

Bookworm: One can’t really call Europa bad / For going bull riding unclad. / It was an attraction too strong / That led to her wrong / enticed by amoral Zeus – that cad!

harebell: You sit in front of a computer screen 40 hours a week long enough, your rear will look like that too.

ronaldspence: Mechanical Bull one, clothing zero! She meant to wear assess chaps not get a chapped a$$!

Papared25: There are easier ways to marinate one’s steaks.

LizardPriest: The lesser known myth of Pasiphaë’s sister scissoring a cow.

She’s going to ride cowgirl style. Whoopie Tie!

some of the many comments on 3/1/21 (part 2):

piobaire: Long ago I had a girlfriend who was built like that. She cheerfully told me that her parents had reared her well.

Reader: That said: this was not the first time Farmer Brown’s cattle had hauled a drunken skinny-dipper out of the fish pond.

Another Take: MA BROWN: You stay here, Pa. I’ll git her clothes. You just take down that dang “NUDE BEACH” sign.

Gameguy49: I think we all have had the “I went to work naked” dream. Katie took it a step further.

PO’ DAWG: Texas roadhouse, “That’s it! No more tequila for Ruby Mae.”

Rev Phnk Ey: Results from that in home glute machine she purchased a year ago.

Another Take: That IS the in home glute machine.

Jeffin: Too bad that bull isn’t a donkey. There’d be two nice a$$es in the picture.

MissScarlet: Since she’d been very free with the milk, she figured that buying the cow was the least she could do.

Impkins: I said MOOOO! Not Moon! You silly woman! :>)

flashdrive1988: Europa: “This is the last time I pledge a Sorority!”

Call me Ishmael: It wasn’t your average hazing / -that she even survived is amazing! / She might well have drowned / if she hadn’t been found / by that bull out seaweed grazing.

gcarlson: Europa da steers and da calves. Eurida da bulls!

She gives a new meaning to the term “bareback rider”.

No ifs, ands or butts.

Good one, Steve!

I don’t know why, but reminds me of a July 4th rodeo in Montana. The young ladies riding horses and carrying flags, the Chevy dealer’s pickups, “The Star-Spangled Banner”, spectators lined up at the beer tent. Oh,yeah, the bull-riding contestants trying to hang on…

She was mine ’til Zeus Taurus apart.

And she was not an Aries, but rather a Taurus…

This is the weirdest scoliosis screening that I have ever seen.

“How can I leave this behind?” – Spinal Tap

Jove: “Excuse me, but shouldn’t I be the one doing the mounting?”

I see she’s putting her best feature forward.

Few Remember That Paul Revere Was Not The Only Midnight Rider On April 18, 1775.

Fewer Still Are Aware That Lady Godiva, Too, Did Not Ride Alone.

Putting A Mechanical Bull In A Strip Club Was An Odd Decision To Begin With. Cutting Corners On The Plumbing To Pay For It Was An OSHA Complaint Waiting To Happen.

She was taking the taurine tack/

(Which she hoped might lead to the sack)/

She could not get a grip/

So it gave her the slip:/

it’s not easy to catch a wet back..

Many a woman can testify that it’s hard to find a good bull.

I can only say buttocks are beautiful………..

Slippery when wet.

It was not her last.

Red Lobster’s New “Surf ‘n’ Turf” Promotion was a Disaster from an Insurance Standpoint, and Quickly Drove Them to Bankruptcy Court.

Is someone a little horny?

Does this bull make my butt look large?

luckily susie this time picked a other times were painful deliveries

“The Abduction of Europe”

First, we don’t use mounts to play water polo. Second, that’s not a polo pony!

Again, a larger strip image is also shown by merely clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s THROWBACK THURSDAY: MASTERPIECE #2652 (3/1/21) (May 22, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment. I have added a comment there pointing the blog entry with my comment and reply pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 4 works by this artist have been used here (5 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat), the March 1, 2021, strip being its first use. The January 5, 2022, strip has the prior by him.

That’s a lot of beef.

By the Horns, baby!! By the Horns!!

Butt, butt, butt…
