Rick-rockArt
Check out this gallery of Bangladeshi rickshaw art (thanks, Gujjubhai). I especially like this tiger-borne palki:
Most worrying is the growing popularity of the prodigal son / criminal as a theme around town:
Perhaps it’s fitting that people park their derrières on bin Laden’s face.

omg..thundercats! Best. cartoon. ever.
Can I be Cheetara? please, pleeeze?!
I remember Cheetara for some reason being completely topless in a "flashback" episode when they showed the Thundercats evacuating from their home planet and boarding their starship. She had this whole furry Pamela Anderson-thing going on. Must have been some weird Jessica Rabbit-style in-joke amongst the pervy artists on the show.
*snarf snarf*
I find it funny that almost immediately after returning to SM, cicatrix begs to be Cheetara ;)

She had this whole furry Pamela Anderson-thing going on
she most certainly did not! Nudity = bare skin, so fur counts as clothes....right?
Anyway, didn't you want to be Cheetara, Desidancer? She was totally sassy, had great weapons, and was superfast (no pun intended.)
But while we're on the topic of pervy artists, remember this?
One random tangent and the post turns into a "topic of pervy artists" haha, thats great
Ha ha ha, funny cicatrix! If you really think of all the shows, rhymes we grew up with some of them are really morbid/sexual. I dont know if anyone knew this one, but when I was little we would sing it all day:
"All flowers, All flowers growing up so high, we are all pretty maids but we all have to die!"
It gets worse.... and Thundercats rocked almost as much as He-man and She-ra.
Oh cool, the top illustration could work for The Owl & The Pussycat.
They sailed away,
for a year and a day,
to the land where the Bong-tree grows
References to Bangladesh? Hmmm?
Maybe the Thundercats were all very liberal and European about that sort of thing. Although I guess you'd have more important things to worry about than putting your bikini top back on if your planet's about to explode. Unless Cheetara was having a quick fondle with Panthro, and was caught at a very bad time indeed when Thundera's disaster-alarm went off ;)
Speaking of which, do you reckon Papa Smurf was secretly getting it on with Smurfette behind all those toadstools ? I mean, look at her in that hoochie skirt and those white stilettos. No "sharam" at all. Disgraceful. Probably not a good candidate for Shaadi.com either: "Blonde blue-skinned hottie. Likes showing off legs. Lives alone with 99 unmarried guys and 1 bearded sugar-daddy".
The REAL US-UK intelligence.
Cicatrix I used to have the hots for Cheetara big time. She was my first cartoon crush. But obviously, like most Asian men, Jasmine later usurped her.
I think it was the whole dominatrix thing. You know that Cheetara would be intense in bed. I used to like Panthro best because of his car. But as I grew up I realised how poorly veiled a stereotypical black figure he was.
Of course they were pervy. Liono used to hold the sword of omens at his crotch when it grew. Plus all those rumours about SEX being written in the Lion King savannah, 'good teenagers take of your clothes' being subliminally added into Alladin and the King dude in the Little Mermaid having a storming erection. Ariel was quite tasty though. I was such a horny 7 year old. Explains a lot.
I have a tree?
I fancy cicatrix now. Just because her NAME was in the same sentence as Cheetara. I'm also sufficiently far away for Mr Cica to be unable to hit me.
I hear this talk of Papa Smurf boning Smurfette a lot. Where did these libellous rumours come from? He was the only one NOT parking the blue porpoise in Smurfette. But all the rest were. Even Vanity Smurf and he smurfed for the other side, ifyouknowwhatimean.
