Castle and Borgo of Gradara - Province of Pesaro and Urbino
The most beautiful villages in Italy
La Rocca è uno degli esempi meglio conservati di fortificazione medievale d'Italia. Nata come fortezza militare su una terra di confine a partire dal XII secolo, viene trasformata in maestosa residenza nobiliare dalle potenti famiglie che si susseguirono nella dominazione del territorio: i Malatesta, gli Sforza e i Della Rovere.
Secondo la leggenda la rocca ha fatto da sfondo al tragico amore tra Paolo e Francesca, cantato da Dante nella Divina commedia.
The Rocca is one of the best preserved examples of medieval fortification in Italy. Born as a military fortress on a border land since the twelfth century, it is transformed into a majestic noble residence by the powerful families that followed each other in the domination of the territory: the Malatesta, the Sforza and the Della Rovere.
According to legend, the castle was the backdrop to the tragic love between Paolo and Francesca, sung by Dante in the Divine Comedy.
Terracotta figurine of actors with masks. During the Hellenistic age comedy grew so popular that its theatrical types became the subjects of mosaics, wall-paintings and a common non expensive motif figurines. All favorite subjects of comedy (the pedagogue, the villager, Heracles and old Silen) are often depicted as humorous, rotund figures wearing mask.
The actors wore tights that covered them from neck to wrists and ankles; under the tights they had heavy padding fixed over the belly and backside, and sometimes breasts as well. The seams down the sides of sleeves or leggings were often made clear by painters. On the outside of the tights at the front was affixed a large leather phallus.

Blackpool Comedy Carpet.
The carpet - made of granite and concrete - features catchphrases and jokes from hundreds of famous comedians, including Dodd, Frankie Howerd, Tommy Cooper and Morecambe and Wise. It was constructed beneath Blackpool Tower.
Un enorme vacío
Simulacro de coherencia
De locura existencial
Un enorme desvarío
Un pedido de clemencia
A esta necesidad
--------------------
A huge void
Mock consistency
Existential madness
Huge delirium
A request for clemency to this need.
Yes Gang, You guessed it, Comedy relief weekend is still alive and well.
Not all will like this plan of course But I do and it's my photo page! **lol**.
This lovely young lady won first prize for her Halloween get up.
The pirate behind her is actually attached and her legs are in the pirates boots that you see here, Unfortunately the treasure was not real .
***She was real though*** Yes indeed, She certainly was....*lol*.
Comedy is fun. And funny. It can be something you totally saw coming, or it can be something completely unexpected. The great thing about comedy is that it can mean so many different things to different people.
For example, my son thinks all great comedy begins with the word naked. And underwear. And wee-wee. All of the bathroom words, really. In fact, if you want to make him laugh, ask him to say naked underwear wee-wee fanny without laughing.
He can't do it.
For my beloved, it's all about a pie in the face or a guy getting hit in the crotch. Although, I don't understand why a man would think that another man getting cracked in the junk is funny. I certainly would never think that a woman getting her boobs smashed in was hilarious. We just call that a mammogram.
(and there's nothing funny about it)
(and there's nothing sexy about the gynecologist either)
(that doesn't have anything to do with comedy, I just want to make that clear, because It always seems to come up)
("The stirrups. Yeeeahh, baby."......No.)
I'm getting away from my point. My point is that comedy is funny.
Here are a few things that I think are funny:
1. People falling down.
2. People walking into glass doors.
.
3. People falling down after walking into a glass door.
4. Anything on America's Funniest Home Videos that's not about dogs or guys getting kicked in the crotch.
5. The audio book of Ellen Degeneres' Seriously...I'm Kidding.
(I laughed so hard the other day on the way to the grocery store I almost drove off the road)
6. Vince Vaughn.
7. Nora Ephron.
8. Jenna McCarthy.
(Not Jenny. Jenna. Jenna makes me belly-laugh so hard it actually tones my stomach muscles in a way that never doing sit-ups has not. Jenny makes me point and laugh in a mocking, horrified way.)
9. My son asking to be home schooled so he doesn't have to get his 6th grade booster shot.
10. Every line in Annie Hall,
Bull Durham, and
When Harry Met Sally (see #7)
I hope you find something to laugh at today. I hope you laugh so hard you cry, and your sides hurt and you get a headache. But in a good way.
I hope you know how much I love ya'.
Seriously.
Tenacious D blasted the Santa Barbara Bowl last night. Great show to kick off their tour! Here are Jack Black and Kyle Gass - pre-show - always funny!

Comedy Club Recipe:
Three Shots: Cranberry Sprite
One Half to One and One Shot: Gin
One Shot: Chambord
Mix in a mixer and serve over ice in a cocktail glass. Enjoy!
SelfCritique: I rather like this one. I didn't like the softness at first but with everything in focus the glass is lost. The lighting could have been a bit brighter

A Zeppoli Creation
Blackpool's brand new Comedy Carpet sits in the shadow of the world famous Blackpool Tower – and it’s one of the largest pieces of public art ever commissioned in the UK. Artist Gordon Young, in association with leading design agency Why Not Associates, created the Blackpool Comedy Carpet. 850 writers and comedians are represented on the Comedy Carpet - with letters ranging in size from a few centimetres to almost a metre tall so that the laughs can be enjoyed from all sides and from both close up and at height from the Tower.
Blacktop Comedy is an Improv Comedy Theater in Rocklin, CA.
In honor of Teen Slasher’s return to Blacktop Comedy. We asked the cast “why should people come see Teen Slasher?
What is Teen Slasher? 6 performers take the stage and the audience decides the title of the improvised story and who will play each of the stock characters; the jock, the nerd, the good girl, the slut, the rebel, and the druggie.

Big thanks to Alison Hallett and Justin Morrison at the Mercury for giving me such a fun assignment!
I had a great time drawing all these folks, and now I have a whole new bevy of comedians to check out. (And getting to draw Reggie Watts fulfilled a lifelong fantasy.)
