Betsy and Timmy loved riding through the woods on the back of their magical flying house, until the day they flew too close to an overhanging branch. Timmy was able to duck out of the way in time, but Betsy would never walk again.

'What's wrong, Bessie?' 'Oh, Timmy! He said he'd never give me up, never let me down, never run around and... and... but he did, Timmy! He did!' 'Ginger cunt.'

An extra one for Saturday. Why were people like that 70 years ago? This might have something to do with it:

Atora beef suet. What the entire fuck?

Mock the Past: Vintage Racism 3

Yikes

Um, yeah. Wow. I'm... I'm just going to stop with the vintage racism now.

Let's instead lighten the mood by pointing out that this image (the first panel of a comic strip entitled "Sambo, Sue and Jolly Golly", by the way) and the two before it all came from the following 1940 children's annual:


Uncle Jack's Joy-Book? Enough of the unsavoury old-time prejudice -- let's get back to some good, clean paedophile references!

Mock the Past: Vintage Racism 2

From offensive Asian stereotypes to offensive African stereotypes:

Vintage racism, image 2

Return to the Tree

Eventually, the creationists learned to argue from a position of mutual respect. Their dogs, however, retained their taste for human flesh and knack for treeing their quarry. 'Damn it! I should never have evolved them to act that way.' 'No, you still haven't quite got it. Here, let's get to safety, then we can go over phenotypic plasticity...'
