      like to order but first day is Sunday instead of Monday. Isn’t Monday still the first day of the week?!

    2. Tim McGreen Says:

      Is it my imagination or are the faces of the people in these idealized paintings of pastoral life almost always hidden from view?

    3. fd Says:

      The painting hints toward an imaginary world of perfect satisfaction in the scary sense. Having said that, I suppose it’s a devoted work.

    4. Antagonistes Says:

      Tim, you are correct and very observant.

      The faces are hidden because scratching the earth for a living, day after day, will show in your face. The earth, the seasons, the labor—it takes a tremendous toll.

      Here is a painting showing this very fact:

    5. Tim McGreen Says:

      I can see why Mr. Van Gogh had trouble selling his paintings. “The Potato Eaters” is dark and bleak, the kind of painting that might have inspired the proletariat to rise up against their bourgeois overlords.

    6. CW-2 Says:

      The Potato Eaters has an almost Hogarthian look to it, perhaps Van Gogh was attempting to show the contempt the elites have for White working class.

      Nice man-made clouds.

    8. Jill Mustang and Big Jim Jesus Says:

      Those pastures were once trod by an ancient race of Giants that ruled America (and the whole world).

      Yes, farm work is hard.

      Being ruled by a race is Giants is worse. They would work you to death, then eat you.

      The Bible tells us that these Giants were the spawn of wicked earth-women and those demons who rebelled against God, before the days of Noah.

      We ourselves have found gigantic femurs on our ranch property. We adjudge the previous possessors of these bones to have been twelve feet tall.

      It is all in the Scriptures, the Book of Life.

    9. CW-2 Says:

      Jill and Big Jim, that race of giants you speak of have shrunk in stature quite a bit over the years. Some distinguished anthropologists insist the denizens of Tel Aviv are their direct descendants.

    10. Antagonistes Says:

      Boy, oh boy!

      Giants!

      Please.

      Did you know that Jesus went to Glastonbury to his uncle’s tin mine? His uncle was Joseph of Arimathea and he had his own tin mine in Britain. The British are the covenant people. “Brit” in Hebrew means covenant, “ish” means man. (!)

      That is why Jesus slept on the boat in the storm on the Dead Sea. He was used to big waves, you see, while his disciples were not, so they panicked.

      Jill and Big Jim—-act like White people, not credulous savages!

    11. CW-2 Says:

      Ant, very true! It seems that some White people will believe just about anything especially if it has the semitic stamp of approval. A sad state as it shows a lack of confidence in our own traditions and inner good sense.
      BTW, Phoenicians traded for tin in Cornwall and is probably the origin of the Joseph of Arimathea story.

    12. Antagonistes Says:

      CW-2, I looked into British-Israelism for quite a while.

      I wanted it to be true! But what I want, and what is true, can be very different!

      There are some fascinating things in BI, but either their timeline is found to be wrong, or they make these connections (if the Phoenicians traded in Cornwall, then Joseph of Arimathea was most certainly with them! And the Phoenicians only traded in Cornwall because the fleets of Solomon traded there! Yeah!) without substance or proof, etc.

      I would not want to appear foolish to my children and grand-children, should they find out that I had bought this medicine-show.

      The British-Israelites will not answer my e-mail questions, either! They just apparently want me to buy the snake-oil they sell in their medicine show!

      A bad sign, a very bad sign.

      Perhaps they are like those people who put forth a great show of paying their rent, with every assurance, but then the landlord shows up and ……knock, knock! and then . . .

      Silence.

    13. Thom McQueen Says:

      Don’t be a mug, ANt! I know that we are getting old, but don’t go soft on us!
      Mustang and Big Jim are a couple of larrikins . Sri Sreggin already told us that they get their energy from sex, and from walking about in the altogther, and then they turn their sexual energy into religious energy.

      They don’t care about truth, or evidience. Jill Mustang wants to beleive that Giants walking around on her ranch—she wants to believe it! She gets off on thinking about their gigantic dongs swinging about as they walked on her land. I guarantee it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    14. fd Says:

      What about the traveling Rain Man? Farms and ranches get dusty in times of drought. Were the Giants at the mercy of a Rain Man?
