That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 12, 2021

Couple of hits of the strong stuff makes any music sound good.

Music to writhe seductively by.

This is what people back in the 60’s thought was happening in a hippie den.

Woodstock 0069

The nude odalisque said to the slave, / “It is not just your music I crave.” / “Bring that dude in a tunic / who pretends he’s a eunuch, / so the three of us can misbehave.”

“If music be the food of love, play on,

Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,The

appetite may sicken, and so die."

—Billy the Bard

She was just being strung along while she waited for the Moor. Then they would make beautiful music together, if only that pesky Iago would bud out!

What Mrs Claus and Schwartz Peter do in the off season…

Don’t fret over me you silly boy. Put down that banjo and let’s get down with some real “Turkey in the Hay”.

Her whole life, Odalisque never felt / what it’s like to be thought of as svelte. / Still, it was no surprise / fabric slipped down her thighs, / for her harem pants came with no belt.

Jasmine loved when Lucille played songs in the key of G-spot.

“And now the 50 minute lute solo….”

supine concubine divine, boobierella on tambour, and charles barkley on booty duty…

“Hey, how about you let me borrow those clothes so I can sneak out for the afternoon to catch an air-conditioned movie.

“A jug of wine, a loaf of bread and thou…..but I’ve been eating too much bread lately!”

Voici la Belle Odalisque/who her beautiful skin dare not risk/ for one day at the beach/ her a lesson did teach/ she returned looking like lobster bisque.///Now she slathers on sunscreen daily/ yet still indoors she” loiters, palely”/ and she lolls in the shade/ with the aid of her maid/ who plays blues on a long ukulele.

Play Freebird, please.

Moonbeam, the hippy hippie, likes to wake up every morning to a two-stringed performance of Here Comes The Sun

“Oh man, no more chili cheese dogs after midnight, EVER!

Working on the 5 best positions for passing gas.

In the old days, rectal thermometers were disguised as a lute.

Needs more Cowbell!!

O.K. kids, here’s today’s art assignment! How many phallic symbols can you find in this painting?

“Okay, Beatrix, I would’ve thought it’d be clear by now that this isn’t what I meant when I asked you to drop by and let me watch you finger your G string.”

“I’m sure I’ll make the Sports Illustrated cut this year, I’m fashionably plus-sized and attired!”

As he played his guitar he noticed his wife had gained weight!

“A dud virgin? How could that happen?”

Nothing could be finer than an underclothed recliner in the morning

Geez! Is it noon already?

I have added a comment there (already approved by Mr. Melcher) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. So far, 14 works by this artist have been used here (17 times, including 3 repeats). 

https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2017/12/27?comments=visible 

has the prior (a repeat, my comment there includes five of the artist info URLs also pointed to by here links in my blog entry comment).

P.S. Since posting my comment yesterday, I have added a reply pointing to a 7 minute 20 second audio that describes that painting, and its historical context. For some odd reason, of the browsers I’ve tried so far, only Google Chrome plays the complete audio. Others play maybe 3 minutes or less of it and start repeating it from the beginning.

Dafney is posing her assistant would leave so she could :Get to her boyfriend abbdula

What is that Shell Gasoline sign doing in my back garden?? And PLEASE get that eunuch off of my patio!! :>)

Fun Faqs from Fahid: Depending on how they were castrated – yes, kids, there are different ways to do the deed – eunuchs often were capable of erections and could contribute ( either overtly or covertly ) to the happiness of the harem. Since they could not reproduce and therefore cause unwanted offspring and embarrassment to the Master, they were considered ideal guards for the girls.

“Draw me like one of your French girls”

Hmmm…6:50 AM EDT and no new painting. Do we have a Friday the 13th jinx afoot?

“Can you play Hendrix while I take another hit from this bong?”

Take the day off, Melch? Or did you step on a crack…?

Oh please! I did a double shift last night; and they want me to go back again? Can’t somebody else go in?
