About raptnrent: I got the name from my keys - R Apt and R Ent for the back door to my apartment and the back door to the house.

I thought it made for an interesting juxtaposition, open to all kinds of interpretations.

The Animated Bansky GIFs showed up on my Twitter feed last week sometime, I think. Cogdog tweeted them again today, so I innocently inquired if animated graffiti was an assignment yet. To which he barked, “Do it yourself, you worthless maggot!” … Continue reading
Slide guy saves the Dutch
Steklenberg thought he was beaten… but Slide Guy comes in to make a crucial save! And laughs mockingly at the Danish midfielder.
tie me up, tie me down
The Daily Create for the day is to “Take a picture featuring rope or knots.” Given my genetic predisposition for making puns, there was no avoiding this. I was hoping to find a picture of Don Knotts tied up, or … Continue reading
