On top of the slats comes a bunkie board. Here’s a basic Riva with lateral slats in place: First, the Riva platform bed, rectngular and dark brown, with four rectangular cutouts in the headboard. (#5) Stage 3, with the queer quilt on top (#4) Stage 2: with sheets (Egyptian cotton, in lilac) and the shirtless cowboy mounted on woolly mammoth blanket (#3) Stage 1, featuring the new mattress (and the side lamps mounted on the wall) After the services of the Got Junk? guys and a lot of energetic cleaning, on Wednesday:Īnd then the revival. Those books were, in fact, holding up the side tables and, in consequence, the whole bed, which otherwise would have been inclined to cant forward and collapse. (You’ll also notice the pile of books under the built-in side table on the left. (Oh yes, that’s a stuffed mammoth between the pillows.) Nice though it was, it was only about 16″ off the floor, not an easy height for someone with many arthritic joints. ![]() (#1) The old bed, sporting the queer quilt (Local photos by Kim Darnell, who supervised the bed replacement activities.) On Friday, yesterday, some other guys brought me a new one, a high dark-stained number with an ordinary queen-sized headboard and a thick firm conventional mattress.ĭetails follow, mostly about the new bed. On Wednesday, a couple of guys came for my bed, a low teak number with a very wide - like, 9-foot - headboard and a thin futon mattress. A bit of gay interest, a bit about language.) Maybe my blanket will start of chain of Shirtless Cowboy Mounted on Woolly Mammoth (Cowboy on Mammoth, for short) enterprises. The sketch spawned a host of enterprises called Frog and Peach, including a number of eating places. You can watch the whole absurd sketch here. And so I had this idea of starting a restaurant specializing in these frogs legs and, er, peaches … as I was scrubbing my back with a loofah, I thought, “Where can a young couple, who are having an evening out, not too much money, and they want to have a decent meal, you know, a decent frog and a nice bit of peach, where can they go and get it?” And answer came there none. The idea for the Frog and Peach came to me in the bath. The reflections of Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling in the “Frog and Peach” comedy sketch by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore from the 1960s: From a 7/17/14 posting of mine, a section about On 3/20/17, “Save a horse, ride a cowboy”Īs for mammoths, this blog has a whole Page of postings about them.Īnd then: the beginning of this posting is modeled on a comedy sketch by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Two postings here on the figure of the shirtless cowboy: ![]() In any case, I was stunned into speechlessness, a rare condition for me. (The old one, with its huge - 9-foot wide - headboard, went off with two nice Got Junk? dudes this morning, to be replaced on Friday by a bed with a less monstrous headboard but a substantially higher frame, much more suitable for someone with my disabilities. And presented it to me this morning as a cover for my new bed. Then she farmed it out to folks who impress images on various useful objects, in particular double-thickness fleece blankets (soft, oh so caressably soft!). She was shocked, shocked to discover that no one seemed to have created such an image - how could such a thing have happened? - so she enlisted her friend, costume designer Magda Guichard ( website here), in mounting a shirtless cowboy (a fantasy figure I am fond of - let me recommend the gay porn flick Buckleroos (2004) as the high end of the gay cowboy mansex genre - though my real-life experience with shirtless cowboys, especially gay ones, is small, but not zero) atop my totem animal, the woolly mammoth (“As long as it’s woolly I don’t ask questions”), against a gauzily rainbow backdrop. The searcher is Kim Darnell, who was seeking a Christmas present tailored for an old gay fellow, namely me. Shirtless Cowboy Mounted on Woolly Mammoth”, by Magda Guichard (2017)Īnd she had it made into a big fleece blanket, to warm and entertain the old guy. And so she had this idea of commissioning this art work: She asked herself, “Where can you go and get an old gay fellow a stirring picture of a decent woolly mammoth and a nice bit of shirtless cowboy?” And answer came there none.
