Ah. So Much Borderline Blog For Boys Behavior In One Place

First, we ride motorcycles hands-free, standing on the seat, wearing only a muslin cap for head protection. Then we figure out how an automobile differential works. If only they had all eaten an earthworm at the end, it would have been perfection.

It's All Downhill From Here

Dude! You were once in a Cadillac convertible with Ann Margaret! Since your life can't possibly get any better than that, you're doomed. You'll keep keep trying to top it, of course, and fail miserably for the rest of your life.

Sucks to be you. The rest of us can live happily ever after, forever wishing we were once in a Cadillac convertible with Ann Margaret.

Treasure Island Kite

I'm not sure, but I think there has to be wind, and you have to let go of it.

No Woman Can Resist The Fedora


In extreme cases, I'm forced to display my mighty pencil-thin moustache at full throttle. When all else fails, I casually mention I killed four men to get the sixteen fifty, even though I have four grand in my pocket. Gets 'em every time.

We Live In A World...



...where children wear a helmet to ride a bicycle in their driveway, then watch movies and wish they were Cyril Raffaelli.

Boy children, I mean. Girl children wish all the boys were Cyril Raffaelli, period.

He's on the right. If you look closely, he's wearing a ribbon so you can differentiate him from the bulldog.

Remember, Borderline Sociopath boys, that there may or may not be justice in there; but there will be peace -- one way or the other.

One Of Only Two BSBFB Sanctioned Toyboxes

Popular Mechanics has a fascinating look at the ultimate in Rube Goldberg hide-your-stash technology from the 19th century. The Russian Tula Antique Strongbox. The discerning borderline sociopathic boy can go off and ride his bike without a helmet knowing that if anyone tries to get into his steel strongbox to steal his baseball cards and slingshot, there's two loaded pistols ready to dissuade the malefactors, set to go off if you can manage to get the lid raised. Even if you're sturdy enough to continue after being ventilated, any stash-robber must navigate their way through more locks than Indiana Jones could ever handle.

  • The upper safe is a small raised box with a keyhole hidden on its top. Its lock is an astonishing 12-bolt system that must be opened before moving on to the last challenge, the lower safe. Unlike the one before it, this lower safe has a keyhole located behind the central rib toward the front of the box. A button on the brim of the safe releases a spring that reveals the last keyhole to be unlocked. This last locking mechanism has an even more remarkable 16 bolts.

Neato lock. Reminds us of the old-school steampunk pirate chest with the awesome iron lock we saw here.

Thanks, Angelinfreefall, for sending this one along.
