On Sunday, May 16th, hardcore fans of the suggestive braved suspended subway service and a glorious sunny afternoon to take in some harmless smut at the Ullage Group’s “Not Dirty, Just Spicy” event at Jalopy.
Doug Skinner started things off by reviewing the rhetoric of extended double-entendre. To drive the point home, he performed the Cliff […]

Low-Tech Stereoscopy: Word Ladders
September 18th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Word ladders are a relatively easy stereo effect to draw by hand. Print a phrase on a sheet of graph paper, centering one word per line. Place the sheet on a light box. Center your phrase on the left side of a card, and trace the first word. Then, trace the second word, but move […]

Rubber Stamp Stereoscopy
June 17th, 2009 · 3 Comments
There are many ways to produce a stereo image, some more high tech than others: stereo cameras, two cameras, digital manipulation of a photo or drawing. One of the simplest is just to place two identical objects a few inches apart, and photograph them. You then get two perspectives of the same image, and you […]

Laws and Sausages (2)
December 20th, 2008 · 2 Comments
To our earlier post (10/21/08), illustrating the classic axiom, we add this variant. It’s from 1902, from Underwood & Underwood; the caption reads “Try our sausages! Made while you wait!– you can see just what you’re getting!”

Laws and Sausages (1)
October 21st, 2008 · 3 Comments
It’s been said that the two things you should never watch being made are laws and sausages. This vintage stereo card shows one of the above.
The observation is usually credited to Bismarck; a check of the www reveals multiple versions of it, and no definite source. Huh. The image can be safely ascribed to the […]

Through the Blackboard: the Report
October 3rd, 2008 · No Comments
A smallish and ullagistic crowd showed up on a rainy afternoon for “Through the Blackboard,” our third public outing. We started late (there were screens and projectors to wrangle), but after that, all unfolded smoothly.
After a few introductory remarks, Doug opened up the ullage: this time, a Belgian Trappist ale, which was presented to Geoff […]

Beneath a Stereoscopic Moon (4)
July 25th, 2008 · 4 Comments
And one last, for a nightcap. There’s a verse on the back:
Here’s to your health, old man in the moon,
Here’s hoping you’ll get full again pretty soon.
Here’s hoping your last quarter’ll last through your dark days.
May you light the way homeward for good fellows always.

Beneath a Stereoscopic Moon (2)

This second view is credited to John P. Soule, 199 Washington St., Boston. It’s not clear if he was the photographer or the publisher; my guess is that he was both.
