@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

May 16, 2007 - Dude loves to tinker.

Shouldn't that thing be bloody? I thought your ad said you guys were the best.

I am LOVING this. I think it's off-the-wall and hilarious, like the Ray gets sort-of stoned sequence.

When has the exterior of Ray's house been shown before?

Re: Ray's house: Oh my God. Dude is sick and pulls off this kind of art. Arc is lame so far, but the rendering of Ray's house oozes with "I-care-about-it"ness. Brings a tear to the appropriate duct...

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.

Someone clue me in to the 'whaletail' comment.

Pretty sure that's when a woman's thong is visible over the waist of her low rise pants

Word, I noticed that too.

Also this arc is kind of topical with the recent death of Our Lady of Intolerance.

I thought it was a pretty good likeness of the divine Ms Bullock, myself.  I can see how the Celebrity Mannequin store would have a few more of Sandy around than of Sylvia Plath.  Considering the buyers market probably consists mostly of college boys with Communications, Sociology, or Recreation majors I can see how a 20th Century Lit figure would be a special order.

Re: Ray's Exterior
Decided to do my own research:

A glimpse inside Ray's Place
Ray Quits Smoking

Interesting.

One way of saving the lawn installation is calling a group of feminists to protest against Ted Hughes. When they face the anti-abortion people things could get interesting.

This is the first time I have realised that you can completely change the meaning of Sandra Bullock's surname by adding a simple horizontal stroke of the pen.

yeah. I love his house.

Also, the whale-tail concept. I realize that it makes me crass to admit this, but it makes me warm and fuzzy.

I like how Ray scooches his head back and they both squint because of the bullhorn.

So, is the abortion protestor a midget?  On his knees?  A child?  What is going on there?

Also, I personally prefer to take the whale tail at face value.  Like, the sort of accoutriment added to a sports car for no real reason, but  bolted to the back of Sandra Bullock.  This is funnier to me than her undies peaking out is.

That is basically my favorite word.

Whale Tail is one of those terms that my SO heard and immediately assumed was much more disgusting than it actually is. See also: "breaking the seal" and "come catcher"
