Topic | What's Zeus up to? A topic of triviality |
Zeus 08/04/17 6:42:51 PM #338: | Can't remember what led into it, but was checking out some old clips featuring the "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase on YT when I found this classic moment: One thing I miss about pro wrestling is colorful, cartoonish heels. Also, I recently saw some alebrijes which are neat sculptures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alebrije http://www.mexican-folk-art-guide.com/alebrijes.html http://tilcajete.org/en/alebrijes-2/ http://yucatantoday.com/alebrijes-2/?lang=en Alebrijes (Spanish pronunciation: [aleˈβɾixes]) are brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures. The first alebrijes, along with use of the term, originated with Pedro Linares. In the 1930s, Linares fell very ill and while he was in bed, unconscious, Linares dreamt of a strange place resembling a forest. There, he saw trees, animals, rocks, clouds that suddenly turned into something strange, some kind of animals, but, unknown animals. He saw a donkey with butterfly wings, a rooster with bull horns, a lion with an eagle head, and all of them were shouting one word, "Alebrijes". Upon recovery, he began recreating the creatures he saw in cardboard and papier-mâché and called them Alebrijes. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard! |
