Damn...
I just had to try it.

/WTF???

$20M worth of paintings. Fark: with a backhoe

Potentially, they might have suffered grader damage.

I guess you mean without safe search. I tried it and the only creepy one was a udder boobed person from Warren Ellis' blog.

I did it with safe search off. There's more than one picture of the NSFW sanity-harming variety.

I was going to submit this earlier, but knowing all parties.
I thought I would let this puppy ride.

Oh and subby, I see what you did there.

I read the old Conan paperbacks with the Frazetta covers. The stories were peppered with racism and sexism* so bad it's laughable, but some of the stories were entertaining for the action & fantasy.

"Vale of Lost Women" is a particularly egregious one where a white virgin girl is kidnapped by pirates and sold to a black chief. He's going to marry and bed her after a typical 30's Hollywood style African village ritual. Conan wanders in, kills the chief for kidnapping a white girl, and is going to rescue her. But she's frightened by his manliness and runs away into the jungle. She stumbles on a Lovecraftian cult of brown-skinned lesbians who want to steal her soul. Conan rescues her yet again and she acquiesces to his protection.

The implicit moral of the story was, surrender to the he-man white guy, because your other options are to be raped by a black dude or fall victim to ethnic lesbians who worship a Great Old One.

Why...why do I do these things? Now I'm going to have walrus nightmares.

So was Paul the Walrus, or was it John?

missmarsha: Poor Frank. Ellie was his greatest fan and protector, now that she's gone the vultures are circling

I used to manage an estate for a senior dentist. Right after his wife passed away and he went into the hospital for a bypass, his kids descended on the place and started fighting over who was going to get what.
One night I went out for dinner and when I came back, I found the kids tearing the little caretaker's cabin where I lived apart and boxing up their picks of my personal possessions to take home with them.
The next day I mailed the Doctor his keys and stayed with a friend until I found another place to live.

For a second I thought you meant Frazetta's kids were stealing your stuff, not the dentist's kids.

So, did you get your stuff back???

I am the walrus.

Woo woo ga joob

$20 MM? Really? That's a quarter million each. I know fantasy art is a real genre collector-wise (prolly because all the '70's and '80's D&Ders went on to work for MSFT or cofound a dot-com), but really? Or are they using the same math they use to mark the "street value" of marijuana busts?

Butthurt D&Der detected.

You're a giant retard with no opinion of your own, too stupid to know good stuff when you see it.

Egalitarian: So, did you get your stuff back???

I got most of it back. I didn't lose any family heirlooms, but it was pretty annoying. But what's happening to Frank Frazetta I've seen happen before to older wealthier neighbors cursed with adult children who have overblown entitlement issues.

What's really funny about you cheeto-stained retards is that I didn't even proffer an opinion about the artwork -- I merely remarked that a real money market for it existed whereas it didn't used to, offered an opinion (probably a correct one -- or do you think the Met and the National Portrait Gallery are buying this stuff up?) and wondered whether the estimates were accurate.

Oh, such devotion from the youth!
I shed a tear at their frustration.

/Not really, burn in the pit unworthy spawn!!!


//Really.
