my great uncle Bob is exactly what you’d expect from an australian farmer. he’s approximately 65 years old and he’s a cattle farmer on a station (a station is a fuck off huge ranch, basically, it’s a couple thousand acres) and he’s this beanpole of a man who looks like he’s spent his entire life outside because, well, he has. he also drives this ancient beat-up yellow ute which is more rust than car at this point and was made in approximately 1980. it’s old. 

anyway he was driving to the far end of the station the other day and an emu ran out in front of his car and he hit it, only it didn’t die, it came flying through the windshield, still alive and mostly unharmed. so there’s my uncle and this emu which is now sitting in the front seat of his car and understandably the emu is pretty pissed off and the first thought that goes through Bob’s head is “oh shit it’s going to start kicking me” so he figures the best way to stop it doing that is to punch it in the face and that is the story of how my uncle got in a fistfight with an emu.

It looks like any other old photograph you might find at an estate sale, but the gentleman highlighted in the 2nd image is someone who’s never been seen in photographic form: Vincent Van Gogh! 

A pair of collectors found the image at an estate sale and brought it to a team of experts in France who verified that it really was the famous painter.

willkommen-in-germany:

Spaghettieis is a German ice cream made to look like a plate of spaghetti. In the dish, vanilla ice cream is extruded through a modified Spätzle press or potato ricer, giving it the appearance of spaghetti. It is then placed over whipped cream and topped with strawberry sauce (to simulate tomato sauce) and either coconut flakes, grated nuts, or white chocolate shavings to represent the Parmesan cheese. Dario Fontanella first created it in the late 1960s in Mannheim. Although it’s not well known outside German-speaking areas, it can be found at some gelaterias and specialty ice cream parlors around the world. Try it at a German Eiscafe, it’s delicious. 🙂

y do u wanna fight caravaggio tho

assassinregrets:

caravaggio was a beer bottle smashing nutter who would fight literally anyone for literally any reason, one time he tableflipped over some fucking fried artichokes, he got drunk and threw rocks at cops and ran away cackling, he got banished from at least 3 cities for being a huge jerkwad, he killed some dude over a fucking tennis game, it just goes on and on

how he managed to get any art done at all is the real question
