Pinky Diablo Says "Say Cheese"

Remember, Pinky has taken all the photographs this past week. This will continue through next week, but Pinky only has ideas for 73 more images.

Pinky's Dog Has the Crabs

Jesus is the Reason

(Not so clever out of context, is it?)

The 2nd Coming!

He's here! This time in the form of a calf. He has chosen the Diablo Ranch because of the high state of enlightenment of the inhabitants. Come see the newborn king in a cardboard manger surrounded by neurotic dogs and a one horned billy goat. Hosana in the highest!

Where's Nadine?

Pinky has seen neither hide nor hair from Nadine for a whole week. Finally, he's getting some peace and quiet. Maybe she's sick in bed? Maybe she's run off with the Presbyterian preacher? Maybe she's been abducted by aliens? If it's one of the last two, she'll be returned sooner than later.

Sometimes Pinky Thinks You Don't Believe Him

Ask anyone who knows Pinky, and he will tell you that Pinky really does have a premature goat fetus wearing a green sweater in his deep freezer.

Stupid Pinky!

Of course he opened it. Now he's covered in cold sores, pox, and bruises for the holidays.

Old Diablo Family Saying: A Bird in the Hand Hurts Like Hell

As a young girl, Pinky's Aunt Grover Cleavland Diablo (known as Aunt Cleavie) caught a hummingbird by letting it stab its bill into her hand. She married a man named Sam. He, of course, became Uncle Sam. Quite a patriotic branch of the family!

Pinky D's Winter Solstice Word of the Day

hyperborean \hye-per-BOR-ee-un\ adjective
*1 : of or relating to an extreme northern region : frozen 2 : of or relating to any of the arctic peoples

Example sentence: Pinky's hyperborean relatives (he still has cousins in Nunavut) don't know what to make of his preference for Texas.

Did you know? In ancient Greek mythology, the "Hyperboreoi" were a people who lived in a northern paradise of perpetual sunshine beyond the reaches of the god of the north wind. Their name combines the prefix "hyper-," meaning "above," and "Boreas," the Greek name for the north wind. When "hyperborean" first appeared in the English language in the 15th century, it was a noun naming those legendary folk. Later, the noun was extended to actual inhabitants of northern climates, and the adjective came into use for anything related to the far north or the people who live there.

Pinky is an Inventor Extrordinaire

Pinky does much of his internation negotiations by phone. To keep his hands free to do other business, he has invented this hands-free device to keep the phone attached to his ear. Why does Isadora Duncan come to mind?

How Bad Off is Nadine?

She often draws a cross on her forehead with Hershey's syrup and stands for hours in front of her hall mirror.

Just a reminder: All photos this week are personally snapped and retouched by the magnificant hand of Pinky Diablo. Just his little way of saying "Thank You!" to all his followers in Georgia, Oregon, Hawaii, Washington D.C. and all over the world.

Nadine has been Lying Low

Nadine has been too quiet this week. She said she was going to visit family, but Pinky saw her creeping around in the trees behind his house. She was wearing a crocheted orange mini-skirt and carrying a semi-automatic weapon. Pinky hollered at her to come up to the house and have a cup of coffee. She just shouted, "whazzzup, dawg?!"

More Holiday Psychic Pinhole Photography from Pinky Diablo

This time he set the oatmeal canister pinhole camera on the dining table next to a plate of cheese. After developing this picture, he has surmised that Jesus likes cheese. Pinky likes cheese, too. (Maybe someone on the American Cheese Council will see this and put Pinky and Jesus on a cheese commercial.)

Pinky's Swami is Furious

Pinky ran into a door frame right on his third eye. It was closed so it couldn't see what was coming. Swami says to keep your third eye open all the time, because it keeps you from running into door frames. Pinky thinks a little stigmata is cute for the holidays. Miss Love thinks he's a klutz.

Diablo Inc. Makes Movie Starring Pinky Diablo

A remake of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds--but set underwater and retitled The Fish. Pinky Diablo plays Tippy Hedren. He performed all his own stunts and trained the fish!

Let Pinky Hypnotize You

Stare into his eyes for five minutes without blinking then spin around with your eyes closed for 1 minute. Stop suddenly and open your eyes. You will find yourself doing things you never imagined! (And yes, Pinky took this photo, too.)

Pinky Gives and He Can Take Away

It has been a busy week for Pinky. He has killed 16 mice and performed 14 small funerals. (two are still on ice pending notification of family). Pinky made his own tiny coffins and made tiny funerary wreaths for each murdered mouse. Most of the time was spent rounding up enough black mice for the gospel singing. (They were brought in limos and sent back to Dallas--not killed). Pinky does realize it's a bit hypocritical to both murder then preside at the funeral--but somebody's gotta do it, and heaven knows Pinky needs the practice (oratorally, not murderizingly).

Find Beauty in the Filthiest of Places

Nothing like pumping up the saturation to make a pile of dryer lint full of dog hair, zebu fur, and insect parts look like a winter wonderland. This is where Pinky has caught 16 mice so far this week. It smells like a miniature wastewater facility.

Miss Love's Herd is One Zebu Smaller

Here's a approximation of what her cows look like on a cold day.(Just a reminder: all images this week were photographed by Pinky himself. With that kind of excitement, you hardly need Christmas!)
