Created by janine, Apr 21, 2011 126 views
Janice Rufus looked longingly at the passersby, hoping against hope that one of them would come and get his boots polished just so the kid would stop with the tin whistle.
Phil Rufus was proud of his newly done nails, despite the crudity of the manicurist who kept taking breaks to play a tune. Yes, OPI's "Pawsitively Pitch Black" was just the right shade to best complement his fur.
Jonathan Lopez After a few lessons, the kid stepped up to a new instrument and a suitable costume.



Hendrick ter Brugghen
Jammies Despite the beatings, Niall vowed to continue playing his pipes until all of his sheep were returned to him.
Phil Faisal liked to joke with his friends that he could last longer with a full bladder than they could.
deleted user Faisal also knew his right shoulder was his must seductive. Combined with the pipes he was irresistible.
Sarah It is a sexy shoulder.
Janice A little hairy, though.
Cynthia Paschen Faisal rocks his "Flashdance" look.
Jonathan Lopez Faisal kept his shoulder toned with a daily regimen of aquatic ballet.



John Oivind Eggesbo
Phil The plumber had promised he'd be over to check the shower drain on Thursday. By Sunday, Antonio had just about given up on the man.
~Geektastic~ Antonio was also curious as to why the internet suggested "snaking the drain," as it was obviously not working.

HA! :)
Sarah This thread should not be allowed to fall below the top five. I love it so ooooooooooooooooo much.
~Geektastic~ While the snakes were ineffective, other animals proved more useful. The piano stayed dry as a bone.

Nick Brisbane
Sarah #1095 Flipper finally proved to Ork Ork that he was the strongest seal in the circus. Unfortunately, putting Madame Toussaint's piano back to ground safely proved more difficult.
Jonathan Lopez With the piano returned to its usual spot by the wall, Madame Toussaint celebrated by playing a set of Scott Joplin rags, much to the amusement of little Bertie, her pet crocodile.



Pablo Picasso
Jonathan Lopez Sorry, edited now to indicate the artist. It's a late work by Picasso (from a period when he was looking at and reacting to Matisse).
~Geektastic~ I thought it looked a little off for Matisse. Too flat.
Sarah #1097 Madame Toussaint never let anything interfere with her love of music. Neither the tragic loss of her face nor the strange penis-finger affliction of her left hand could keep her from playing her funhouse piano.
Phil he he he. she said penis.
janine Her head looks like a sperm cell.
~Geektastic~ Madame wanted to be sure her playing was up to snuff before her relatives stopped by for their annual visit.



Giorgio de Chirico
Phil Stanmore, having been employed at Ford for over 20 years, tried desperately to convince young Faldeed not to go into the family business. Crash Test Dummy sounds nice to the young ones, but there are better ways to make a living.

Ha!
Janice Jamie consoled her downhearted husband as he mourned the fact that he had no bionic parts.

Matthew Barney
Phil Strantius was sure he'd make a killing at the audition later that evening. Unfortunately, he failed to recognize the significance of the plastic covering the seats in the limousine, a car (unbeknownst to him) hired by his chief rival for the recording contract.
~Geektastic~ Matthew Barney. Brings back very interesting memories from college.
Jonathan Lopez Phil wrote: "Strantius was sure he'd make a killing at the audition later that evening..."

The audition turned out okay. He went to a party afterward, and it was pretty mellow.



Aubrey Beardsley
janine Being a bit of a fashionista herself, Andrea was fascinated by Kevin's fruit hat, woolly mammoth skin pants and Alexander McQueen hoof shoes.
Sarah 1111 Jim was quite pleased that Valerie still liked him despite his deformities. In point of fact, he had no idea what was lurking under her dress.
Jonathan Lopez Sarah Pi wrote: "...he had no idea what was lurking under her dress."



J. W. Waterhouse
Sarah #1114 Octavia loved her jewelry, but getting to the store to buy more was always a bitch.
Cynthia Paschen (#1114) " For the love of God, mother, quit buying the bargain brand conditioner. My hair is drying out!"
Jonathan Lopez Easier just to cut it off.



Frida Kahlo
Phil Having grown her hair out during the 14 months leading to the election, Ms. Maddow was happy to fulfill the vow she made to cut it all off when President Obama won a second term in office.
Sarah #1117 Frida liked her new haircut, but she wished she hadn't bought her suit at David Byrne's yard sale.
Cynthia Paschen Frida was reconsidering her decision to wear the jumbo-sized shoulder pads.
Jonathan Lopez Sarah Pi wrote: "#1117 Frida liked her new haircut, but she wished she hadn't bought her suit at David Byrne's yard sale."

A closely matched ensemble, but not really a suit at all--the trousers were Diego's and the coat belonged to this guy, who looks like he wants it back:

Thomas Hart Benton
Sarah #1121 Benito thought his new workout regimen was really doing wonders for his physique. He would recommend skull hurling to anyone.
Phil In trying to take Irkutsk (attacking from Kamchatka), Ramsuh rolled four attacking skulls. Unfortunately, Shigo rolled three defending skulls and held the territory. Local legend tells of the calamity that happened next.
Jonathan Lopez Phil wrote: "Local legend tells of the calamity that happened next..."



Leonardo da Vinci
Sarah #1124 Miguel was wrong. Combining fencing and polo was a terrible idea.
~Geektastic~ 1124

George had been so anxious to enlist, but he found the military to be a rather colorless affair.
Phil Noooooooobody escapes the Spanish Inquisition!
Sarah Hee.
"NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.”
