That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 05, 2022

“My sword’s been like this ever since I took the pill.”

/// Tights which men would wear back in the day

were “form-fitting” and nearly risqué.

Modest men might indulge

by enhancing their “bulge,”

so, it’s padding they put on display.

With tights like those, you had to wear a sword (or two) to ‘compensate’.

Man waiting for FedEX to deliver his package.

The hats were to detract people from looking lower. It didn’t matter though, everyone avoided looking down there anyway.

No sire, a “buck-knuckle” is totally a thing…really!

Then this guy cam up to me and said “You can get yourself clean.You can have a good meal. You can stay at the Y.M.C.A!”

Your cape is only part of the problem. That hat is going to fall off every time your do a Downward Dog.

And also, when you do the Downward Dog, your tights will definitely become see-through.

More phallic artistry.

Dadd art.

They are Englishmen (wouldn’t you know ?)/

But they can’t afford Savile Row../

These unfortunate blokes/

Are the “butts” of rude jokes:/

For letting far too much show..///

Tis clear from their sizes and shapes/

To which side each of them drapes

(They risk humiliation/

With each urination/

If even a droplet escapes !) ///

Tis not that they’re slovenly swine -/

In fact, they’re uncommonly fine./

It’s that both of these varmints/

Eschew undergarments:/

They dread “visible panty line” !

The flourish on my cap belies my ardor under the arbor. What say you, pompous turban tally wacker?

He was awfully talkative during the marching band’s dress rehearsal.

The “feather in the cap” style never merited much more than a side-eye.

“They call it “macaroni”…..

“That Yankee guy says it’s called macaroni”

Hmm…From Wikipedia: “Richard Dadd was an English painter of the Victorian era, noted for his depictions of fairies…”

I’m just asking, why don’t you ever like my posts on facebook?

“It’s interchangeable. Today I’m playing in the orchestra, tomorrow I’ll be doing yard work.”

It is a last year’s cape to protect from the baby yoga goats.

Great Moments in Phallic Portraiture #433

Oscar and Omar both believed in walking softly but carrying a big stick.

It’s going to take a magnifying glass to read what’s up there.

NO CAPES!

“If you’re gonna pack socks down there, Edward, do yourself a favor- ball them up, don’t fold them.”

a!@s..#%4d Wedgies!!

Now old Ishmael isn’t afraid/

To observe fewer women are swayed/

By a bulbous buffoon/

With a big bass bassoon/

Than a piccolo – properly played !

Casting for “Robin Hood, Men in Tights”.

On a more serious note, I want to know what happened to that guys’s hand? And why is he carrying his sword under his armpit?

Are the two facts related?

Jacob colored within the lines but the colors he used were too fruity so, we put him in the wallpaper department.

“Be honest. Does this codpiece make me look fat?”

The judge ruled his argument de minimis.

Iago told a good story about the stolen election, but Othello wasn’t convinced.

Again, I have added a comment at Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2953 (July 4, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, awaiting his approval, pointing to info about this artist that I used to point to here. First work, by this artist, used here.

Go ahead, prod my codpiece. I dare you.

Maybe Superman can pull this look off, but neither one of them has the build for it.

Beautiful plumage!

Thank you! And yours as well!
