A couple months ago I was somewhat amused by the Barbie killing ladies from Barbie Massacre so I decided to try and get in touch with them. Meanwhile I got to know a little bit about them (thanks ladies, I appreciate it very much) and I’m ready for a detailed follow-up, with the pictures of the gory modern art and everything. Try and keep your eyes on the text and send the kids to bed, you don’t want that kind of art in your living room. (click on the pictures for full size)
Back in 1992 at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), World Champions Mansour Matloubi and Stuey Ungar faced off in a series of $50,000 buy-in heads-up freeze outs. Mansour tells me he was at the top of his game at this point in his poker career, having just won the WSOP in 1990. The game they were playing that day was no-limit Hold'em, and the blinds were $200-$400 when the following hand came up. Stuey opened for $1600 in the small blind, and Mansour called with 4-5 off suit. After a flop of 3-3-7 rainbow (no suits), Stuey bet $6,000--he started the hand with $60,000 to Mansour's $40,000--and Mansour called the $6,000 bet. On fourth-street a K came off and both players checked. On the river a Q came off to make a board of 3-3-7-K-Q, and Mansour, smelling weakness in Stuey, bet his last $32,000 or so. Stuey looked "right through" Mansour, and within ten seconds he said, "You have 4-5 or 5-6, I'm gonna call you with this." Stuey then flipped up 10-9, and called the $32,000 bet with merely ten-high! Wow, what an unbelievable call! Stuey can't even beat a jack-high-bluff with his hand, never mind any pair. In fact, Stuey could only beat 4-5, 4-6 or 5-6 in this scenario.
Question Do adult film companies have casting calls or auditions? If so what part of the country do you have to go to do this?
Answer Some companies do have open casting calls or auditions. These are usually held at the studios and are advertised well in advance. Casting calls are like cattle calls since they get the models to one location and because of the sheer nature of applicants they will just go over the basics of the project, have you fill out the applicable paperwork, verify your ID and take some photos of you. Standard qualifying photos are as follows-
• Head shot • Full body shot- front nude • Full body shot- back nude • Full body shot- side nude
The director, Seth Gordon, is hard at work at a screenplay for The King of Kong, which he will then sell to have a fictional movie made. Or, as I am saying, a second fictional movie, but one where he can see 100% of the profits of the picture without having to cut in any of the people whose lives he just took a galactic dump on. Let me be clear: he fucked these people. He couldn't have fucked them worse than if he strapped them across a air-hockey table and sodomized them with a Wico Command Control Joystick. He interviewed them, had them retrieve archival footage and materials going back decades, recorded them at their homes, their places of work, and at events that they put up at their own expense and time, and then he painted them in clown makeup and threw pies at them for an hour and 19 minutes.
The entire cast of Karate Kid (minus Miyagi) re-assemble for this music video re-creation of the climactic events depicted in the film, with a surprise ending.

Shorpy.com is the 100-year-old photography blog that brings our ancestors back, at least to the desktop. The site is named after Shorpy Higginbotham, a boy who worked in an Alabama coal mine near the turn of the century.
I saw this on boingboing a while back and subscribed to the RSS feed. Every day some unique images arrive in my Bloglines that bring the past back to life. There are some really striking images, the women workers of WW2 in particular and the early 20th century industrial stuff.
I really dig this photoblog. You can order large size prints, too. I've got like a dozen picked out for when I get some extra money to waste.
