Another country: Photographer's stunning black and white pictures of a nation's rural ruins, exiled from the American Dream
By EMILY ANNE EPSTEIN
Photographer Steven Rubin spent much of the 1980s traveling throughout Maine's countryside with nothing more than a camera and a bit of cash.
This month, a Los Angeles gallery will display an extensive collection of images from that time period, painting a portrait of American poverty that many have never seen.
The photographs, black and white portraits of an isolated community, disarm viewers and allow them unfettered entrance into 'Vacationland.

"Men have been trained and conditioned by women, not unlike the way Pavlov conditioned his dogs, into becoming their slaves. As compensation for their labours men are given periodic use of a woman's vagina."

"Guys are obsessed with the anus. Do you think it's vagina envy?"

I was only for a relatively short time obsessed with the anus. Starting right after the first time I became intimately acquainted with a vagina, until present, I have had a raging case of vagina envy. I don't know or much care what that says about me. I suppose if I had the money a change might be my consideration, if it weren't for the fact that I would, no matter how much money was put to it, be the scariest, most hideous looking woman ever. And I am sure that the best crafted re-plumb would not really be like original equipment."Guys are obsessed with the anus. Do you think it's vagina envy?"

IE does not care that you have spent more then an hour on what was sure to be the most impressive post of your 400+. No IE says, post this bitch bscene-birdiedoublered: and for just a split second, you hope the next time Bill & Melinda fly into Uganda or Malwai, their private Learjet crashes in flames atop mt kilimanjaro in the exact place Hem climbed to weekly, and wrote about. Then you retract that thought, knowing that at some point the huge amounts of philanthropy the Gates do will make up for IE,,, probably.

So laugh, laugh your fucking assess off, then loan me for just a day or two your vag, and I promise I'll bring it back clean and well pressed, if not maybe an hour or two late. :dance: rcs-buttshake:

I also have major penis envy and had a swell time fucking Aedans face with a strap on. Only thing missing was a cigarette hanging out of my mouf and a beer in hand.

Hopefully it wasn't a brown recluse. We get those like crazy down here. :?AmberCutie said:An ugly one.Bocefish said:Yikes Amber! Ever find out what kinda spider it was?
Um, not for sure, but the next night there was a brown regular ol' looking house spider crawling on my pillow. I would assume it was that one, or one of it's siblings who tried to eat me alive.
None of those in soCal, just black widows, and apparently brown widows (I just learned this.)blackxrose said:Hopefully it wasn't a brown recluse. We get those like crazy down here. :?AmberCutie said:An ugly one.Bocefish said:Yikes Amber! Ever find out what kinda spider it was?

LOL it got worse after i did 3 doses of baking soda paste.SoTxBob said:From the pics, possibly a house or wolf spider or similar. Looks like a minor [toxin] bite and not a strong enzyme bite from the likes of a recluse or black widow. Had it been serious acidic enzymes, you would have had a central 'pus head' and it would have made an open oozing sore in short order as your flesh dissolved. One of the best ways to heal most any spider bite is with plain old baking soda. Make a paste and apply it to the fresh bite. If you can, use a bandage of some sort to keep the soda on the wound. It will extract and neutralize most of the acids within the venom fairly rapidly. Did you call the exterminator yet ?
