My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck By Lightning

The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Motives, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?

A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.

amoderndandy: sydneyflapper: fuckyeahmodernflapper: A Modern Gal (モダンガール), the japanese flapper. I’m just loving the fact that apparently there’s a champagne bottle with a glass in hand running towards the dancing couple. I want a champagne bottle that does that. Maybe it opens itself as well. I agree that the humanoid champagne bottle is quite odd - though I’d say it looks more as if it’s dancing with the glass. But all this is not as remarkable to me as the account of how “A 17 year old girl with an uninhibited lifestyle shot a foreigner in the groin with a revolver for he had not paid for the use of her body”.
