That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 18, 2022

“I wanted to go to the Mets’ game. But no, you had tickets for interpretative dance recital.”

Announcement: “Do not take the brown acid!”

Final “kegger” before graduation!

You’re sure Gypsy Rose Lee got started this way?

Where is Madison Cawthorn? are you certain he got the invitation?

The girl with the pearl, she lubes with the boobs.

The audience looks bored, like their watching a mediocre half-time show while they wait for the football to start again.

For or next number we’d like to do something we call the “Seraglio Pas De Deux.” Hit it, Fatima!

The Sultan ain’t easy to please/

But Louise finds the challenge a breeze:/

Since she has dance topless/

She’s learned that “they” flop less/

If she never gets up from her knees..///

Her partner (a basketball star/

Whom she met in an Istanbul bar)

Is running away/

From the WNBA../

For the money here’s better by far..///

The band, (from the Middle East)/

Has found that their fame has increased/

They’ve been richly rewarded/

Since they lately recorded/

Their “covers” of Judas Priest..///

They put on a helluva show/

But here’s what you prob’ly don’t know:/

The old Sultan can’t see/

What delights you and me:/

He’s been dead since a while ago.

/// For a gender reveal I would think

we’d see more of pastel blue or pink.

The two women who strip,

(one a Blood: one a Crip),

prove this party’s devoted to kink.

It was this very painting, while on loan to the The British Museum located in the Bloomsbury area of London that inspired an iconic song of the 80’s. In a drunken stupor the members of the punk-rock band ‘The Clash’ had inadvertently wandered into the museum thinking it was a bar. Had it not been for this very painting, “Rock the Casbah” would never have been written…..and if you think that is a load of BS, you are absolutely right.

Just airing the pits out.

I’ll have what they’re having

Sultan died from “overwork”….what a way to go!

But all David can think about is the gal he saw on the roof.

Why aren’t parents who throw gender reveal parties prosecuted for child abuse? I mean, who are they to decide what the person’s gender is?

Ladies and gentlemen, please be patient as she changes his batteries, the show will continue.

The Caliph of Cleveland began to regret hiring Little Mix instead of BLACKPINK to play at his birthday party.

What happens at Wellesley College for Women, stays at Wellesley College for Women.

Nobody is watching the dancers. They are looking for any clue that the sultan is the father. He is so old that the pregnancy took 11 months.

The ladies are letting it all hang out. The Sultan is waiting till after the pill kicks in.

CALIPH: How odd. I haven’t had relations with anyone for over a year… GET MY HAREM GUARDS IN HERE NOW!

The Caliph sure ain’t no fool / Some guard still has got his tool! / in the har-ar-um

And listen folks, no need to identify genders…this is an open house orgy!

Musicians thinking “Well, this kinda makes up for all those really shitty gigs.”

“This is better than Chucky Cheese, any day!”

As long as it does not start a massive fire!

Just when the orgy is peaking / And the couples are hiding and seeking / When we come to the brink / Do we take stock and think / Which one is supposedly speaking?

I thought this show was ’posta have a donkey in it.

(best viewed using Google Chrome, perhaps with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions, which can automatically translate most webpages if necessary) has info about this ca. 1880 painting.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #2928 (May 17, 2022) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to some info about that artist. First work by him used here.

the 1000 and one nights stories were getting a bit REPETITIVE, so, show a little tit and everyone took notice.

“The next item on the agenda for the WCTU is…”

The Sultan replies “What do you mean it’s my turn to show what I’ve got?”
