Was I right?
I don't like being this COMPLETELY ignored...!
I mean, what am I?
Chopped liver??

You weren’t ignored! Sorry you missed this. Here’s a reprint:

Last week’s Question: Michelangelo signed only one of his sculptures, which one was it?

The answer: The only one of his sculptures that Michelangelo signed was the The Pieta, completed in 1500; congratulations to Rosewood, who knew without googling!

This week’s Question: What do these terms have in common - Sailor, Dead Leaf, Paper Kite, Blue Striped Crow, Great Egg Fly?

Gee, let me think about that one.

[jack]

oh i knew that too...

i was just rather preoccupied this past week.

[Ennis Del Mark]

Well OK, guys!  Are you going to tell us the answer or not?

BTW, beautiful butterfly, John.

I dated a lepidopterist once but we broke up.  He couldn't be apart from his MOTHer.

P.S.  Did you know that the original name for butterflies was flutterbys?  It's true!!!  Now what's the answer to the damn trivia question?

[fritzkep]

Um, maybe that they're names for different types of lepidoptera?

And the name for butterflies in several central African languages translates as "feathers of the wind".

Heath Ledger ‘Joker’ blood-spattered playing card from The Dark Knight

(Warner Bros., 2008) This Joker playing card features a jester standing atop a tiger with a large blotch of studio blood present at the lower right. In Heath Ledger’s amazing performance as Batman’s arch villain, the Joker, he would leave his macabre calling cards at the scene of the carnage he created. This particular prop card, measuring 2 ½ in. x 3 ½ in., was left in the streets of Chicago following a shoot that wrapped in the early morning hours. A wonderful relic from Ledger’s final performance.

LOT #509
Heath Ledger’s armor from A Knight’s Tale

(Columbia, 2001) The armor worn by the late Heath Ledger as Sir William Thatcher / Sir Ulrich Von Lichtenstein of Gelderland in the 2001 action movie A Knight’s Tale. This is the radical lightweight armor that the character receives from Kate the Farrier (Laura Fraser) late on in the movie. On screen a ‘Nike’ swoosh can be seen but this appears to have been a close up insert shot only, the markings are not present on the full suit when seen during the jousting tournaments. It is fabricated from a very tough, polyurethane which has been detailed to look like metal. This method of armor manufacture is now commonplace in production as it is both durable and lightweight. The material is also ideal for stunt performers as it is soft enough to absorb most impacts. The visor on the helmet is hinged and there is a reasonable amount of movement in the entire outfit for the actor. The most memorable costume from this popular feature film.
$6000 - $8000

[Trigger Hippie]

thanks to Chuckie for retelling the BBQ video with his Mom story,

much has passed under my significant bridges since the BBQ, but it is good to remember that hot, hazy weekend.

[jack]

the only time we have been in the same place at the same time, nicky 

one of us has got to find a way to get to the other of us, before time runs out.

just a long evening over a bottle of wine for you, and a giant pot of coffee for me.

and perhaps a scrabble board 

[Trigger Hippie]

coffee and scrabble is absolutely fine with me.

[Ministering angel]

Yes, the three musketeers were Athos, Porthos and Aramis. The first Brokie friendships I struck up were with a gay man and a lesbian woman in Philadelphia. They didn't know each other at the time but they knew me. We eventually got together last year. I dubbed us the Three Musketeers early on but decided I wanted to be Aramis because the name was the prettiest.

[Ministering angel]

This sidelining of gay rights into some other sort of category ("Huckabee Says Gay Rights Not Same As Civil Rights") is such a copout. I have a friend whose husband is confined to a wheelchair and only watched films on DVD. I asked her if she was going to get out BBM for him to watch. No, she said, he likes films about social issues. (She meant subjects like indigenous rights, refugees, working class struggle, that sort of thing.) When I pointed out that BBM could be described as a film about social issues she gave me a funny look and very reluctantly agreed that I may have a point. It strikes me that if we don't give consideration to the lives of everyone, we end up as a pretty screwed-up society. Oh wait! We already are!
