You know, it’s quite remarkable. I make posts about science, art, philosophy and religion and get a smattering of comment and a trickle of visitors. But one picture of a scantily-clad girl sticking her fist up a cow’s bum and my visitor rate doubles and my comments spike.
And over at Perpetual Ocean my Eros ex Mathematica images account for nearly 45% of the site traffic and now have racked up over 3 million hits.
Let there be no doubt about the subject that still drives the internet.
Put’s a whole new definition to the term “cowpoke” doesn’t it?
Oh dear.
Lets see how many hits I get when I post a pitchr of a cow wit its foreleg up some chicks ass.
And there I was thinking the hand & forearm of the bare-buttocked girl was snugly wedged in the cow’s vagina. what an innocent I am.
Now you’re not following the Reverend’s flow are you Cissy Strutt? If you had read the artist’s statement, in which Ms Niedermair tries to persuade us that her ‘Holy Cow’ is a meditation on religion and artificial insemination*, you would be aware that I am aware into which orifice the oiled lady is sticking her arm.
But ‘bum’ is funnier.
(*Truly, the best stuff just hands itself to me on a plate)
Bum is funnier in every respect. I shall make that my meditation.
A flail of the frayed rope upon you. Go sit on the milking pail in the corner and ruminate.
(And to be truthful, I did consider the pithy ‘C’ word, but it still didn’t sound as funny. That still works best in the Superman joke).
It’s kind of like the internet’s dirty little not even remotely secret.
I have returned from the milking pail chastened & wiser. Bum, and its variations, is indeed unbeatable. But, at risk of a further lashing, may I add that the pithy ‘C’ word is also the only possible punchline for the infamous “What whole name?” joke.
A lost and untethered (or even tetherd) comment, in absence of email: I offer you another chapter in the Misadventures of Simple Graphics Man. Here one-armed, and suffering… is that a very pointy hunchback or a badly adjusted rucksack?

Thanks Scroob. Have no fear – it will be featured in an upcoming SGM Spectacular.
