Back in February, world-famous street artist Banksy posted several new pieces in Gaza, including a giant kitten, to try to draw some attention to the region.
His public work tends to be snatched up pretty quickly by people looking to make some serious cash. They can typically be sold to collectors for hundreds of thousands of dollars. His “Mobile Lovers” piece went for more than half a million dollars last year.
One man in Gaza probably wishes he had been told that before he let an original Banksy go for a measly $175.
Rabie Dardouna, who owned the door and rubble which Banksy adorned with a piece called “Bomb Damage” (above), pawned it off to a man named Belal Khaled for just the value of the metal. His house was destroyed during an Israeli attack last year.
“I did not know that it was this valuable. I heard it can be sold for millions,” Dardouna told The Guardian. “Now I want the door back.”
Khaled claims he only purchased the door to “protect its artistic value” and isn’t looking to make money off the deal.
He added that he might one day consider displaying it in a gallery to “speak about the suffering of Gaza and the agonies of war.”
Police say prosthetic penises and fake urine are being used by miners to fool drug tests.
Sales are booming for products to beat drug testing, which are legally available on the internet. Some products can be purchased for $70 (£35) and come with accessories including heat pads and strap-on devices for men to wear during supervised testing.

Impeachment Table.
I wonder if he paralyzed himself.
Nah, but it was a long Night after the Round Table.
It’s raining men!
Damnit, I thought I was over the women’s bathroom
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Clean up in line 7.
“Hello?”
“It’s me. You won’t believe how awful my day has been.”
“How many dead bodies are you standing over right now?”
“None.”
“Then I’m pretty sure you’re having a much better day than I am.”
I kinda liked that show.
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust

This is what happens when we let the gays use our wishing wells. Will we never learn?
I miss Benny Hill!
He would never be allowed to do what he did in this day and age.
Except that Gay stuff.
Great stuff as always, admin. To pass the time while we wait for nkit to complete his invaluable contribution to Friday Fail, I thought I’d pass along a tidbit. My wife asked me what I do on Friday afternoons as I sit at my computer immersed in a tall drink of whiskey. “Friday Fail,” I answered, and, anticipating a request for clarification, I continued, “It’s a celebration of stupidly.” She frowned, then shrugged, as if to say, You must be a natural. Ignoring her implied insult, I proceeded, “A couple of sharp guys post pictures and videos of people being stupid, and a bunch of witty people try to make clever remarks about them.”
“So you try to be clever about stupidity?” she responded.
“Precisely.”
She went on her way shaking her head, and I took a sip of whiskey, then mumbled under my breath, “And the pictures of beautiful semi-naked women don’t hurt.”
Bob, your comments are a great addition to FF and are usually quite witty. The whiskey must be the secret ingredient.
Thank God the baby was there or his phone would’ve been toast.
You want a picture of you both?
Give me the camera.
You hold the baby.
Wait.
On 2nd thought…maybe you oughtta just leave, Fumbles.
To hell with that, Dutch. Hire a Somali to shovel that hard pack.
If he wants payment, tell him to go see Ilhan.
I have seen people build a house like that with no forethought about where the snow will pile up. You can’t fix stupid.
Gif of nkit battering LLPOH last week. Warning..Graphic.

Poor Loopey, he never had a chance…………GifMaster nkit RULES! (The crowd Roars)
Kids are so spoiled these days. When I was his age, I got a pointed stick for Christmas that I used all year for wiping, and, except for the occasional splinter, I was happy about it!
Yeah, the little goof might have to wait in a three hour line one day for one of those…….communism and all.
You had sticks?! All we had were rocks. And we were glad to have them…
In the coming apocalypse, that kid will wish he had stored that some place safe.

Mommy, daddy killed the snowman, and his head came off. I’m at the police station.
The slopes on Pine St. need grooming.
Meeeeoowww. Hello there, kitten.

I frown on all the commercials and shows that now feature mixed-race couples; you’d think they comprised 75% of the population. Just BS virtue signalling . . . although, as I drool over this gif, I have to admit, miscegenation has its merits. God help me, she’s gorgeous.
Some of the most gorgeous women are Eurasian…
French/Japanese, and French/Vietnamese.
I love dogs.
You never tease BobP the Mutt that way, love!
I am known for my tongue.
Beef tongue? Goes great in tacos.
EC- I was at a Mexican eatery tonight that actually had Al Pastor tacos on the menu. I pussied out in favor of the fajitas but plan to go back and try some.
Is that him on the left?
And that’s my good side.
The dog just liked his azz just before he licked her.
Hey! No blacks allowed!
To be more clear I should’ve said something like, “Hey! That animal could ruin the slide. How many times have I told you, no blacks allowed!” Still might merit thumbs down–which is fine; free speech reigns here–but it was meant to be funny, not racist (well, maybe a little).
BP, it’s sad you even have to defend yourself like that. Especially here, where “dark” humor seems to be a burr in some PC cowboys’ saddle.
Disapproval. You crossed a line. PC BS.
Now I get why Pops used to long for the days of yore.
We laughed more, and took less offense. Didn’t have as many nanny reprimands.
But, it’s open to the public, so, wear a bit of mental armor for the arrows that come, eh?
Keep on doing your thing. Let it rip, you magnificent bastard. I read your comments.
(Patton)
Like nKit, you’ve become a funny, sought after contributor on these venues.
To steal another quote from a military man doing battle:
Damn the torpedos. Full speed ahead.
“Magnificent bastard.” I like it. My wife calls me that all the time, except she excludes the magnificent part.
This is China where they have to disguise the dogs so they don’t get eaten.
Still cannot drive in the HOV lane.
Nancy Pelosi goes in for the kill!
Don’t insult the dog that way. It’s orders of magnitude smarter.
Nobody loves you like your dog.
And the longer you’re married the truer that becomes.

Vesislava Todorova.
Explore her numerous other cover tunes, if you like what you see and hear.
She covers You Raise Me Up, but Celtic Woman’s live version is breathtaking.
Might post her over dub layering of a well known classic, on the heels of Sunday Funnies.
See what you’re missing, Nick?
No, I don’t suppose you do.
Psst, Bob….here’s more from nkit, you’re late, is the wife still watching? …
Please. I couldn’t ask for a kinder and prettier wife; if I did she’d kill me.
Hmmm. We can’t see just what is in her hands, that might cause the rhythmic, seductive swaying.
If we had audio, might we hear a soft hum? Seems to be in pleasure.
She’s sitting on nkit.
I wish.
Whatever it is, is making the person behind her squirm, as well.
Still seeing triple, Bob?
I wish.
AWD would love this.
So would we, long time.
Shelties are very friendly and protective, but stay away from the food bowl when they are eating. This appears to be half sheltie. I had one like it as a kid.
Hey, Spike. You wanna kill us some cats? Huh, Spike?

Pervert! 😀
All aboard! Jump on the train.

Eilene got shitfaced at the outdoor Irish Festival in upstate New Yawk.
She could not understand how she ended up with a blue face.
Maybe she was holding her breath in there.
Damn, I’d sure hate to fall BACKWARDS into one of those things – no telling where you might end up.
