Project done! Despite having found two pearl chokers that I easily could have adapted, I decided to make one from scratch. I didn’t have a multistrand clasp thingie so I improvised one, as you can see, and it worked…moderately well? If I were going to redo this I would probably go to the effort of getting one. The pearls are strung on a nylon coated steel wire, so the necklace is remarkably sturdy. The “blood” on the pearl beads is nail polish–unsurprisingly, I have a LOT of red nail polish–and the drips are strung on fishing line. 

I used a long chain for the clasp and added some heavy beads at the end (that metal thing is hollow filigree, and not as heavy as it looks, but still a nice weight) to keep the choker from sliding. With that much weight hanging down at the back, the whole thing stays centered very well. Please ignore my hair, I just jammed it into a bun so it would be out of the way.

It’s surprisingly comfortable to wear! I don’t know what I’m going to be for halloween this year, but this is definitely going to be involved. I bet I could even get away with wearing it to work, if I don’t have any trials that day.

Heisenberg, Schroedinger and Ohm are in a car…

… And they get pulled over. Heisenberg is driving and the cop asks him “Do you know how fast you were going?”

“No, but I know exactly where I am” Heisenberg replies.

The cop says “You were doing 55 in a 35.” Heisenberg throws up his hands and shouts “Great! Now I’m lost!”

The cop thinks this is suspicious and orders him to pop open the trunk. He checks it out and says “Do you know you have a dead cat back here?”

“We do now, asshole!” shouts Schroedinger.

The cop moves to arrest them.

Ohm resists.

awesome!! fun fact: a camargue horse can close its nostrils to search for food underwater in the marchlands

Mounted stock herders or “cowboys” in Europe

A buttero or cavalcante is an Italian mounted herder, usually of horses, cattle, or buffaloes, predominantly in the Maremma region of Tuscany & northern Lazio, or in the Pontine Marshes to the south. They sometimes participate in various celebrations of Jesus Christ's Passion.

In 1890, Buffalo Bill took his Wild West show to Rome (during his tour of Europe) to display cowboy skills. Unimpressed, the Italian butteri led by Augusto Imperiali challenged Buffalo Bill to a contest of skill. The butteri proved far more experienced, & won all competitions.

A campino is a cattle herder in the Portuguese region of Ribatejo. Campinos work on horse-back, using a long pole (a pampilho or lance) to manage and direct the herd. Campinos are also known for their attire, which consists of a green and red stocking cap with a tassel.

The inhabitants of the Spanish city of Salamanca are called "charros". Among these, the inhabitants of the regions of Alba, Vitigudino, Ciudad Rodrigo and Ledesma are specifically known for their traditional "ganadería" heritage and colorful glitzy clothing.

The csikós is the mounted horse-herdsman of Hungary. The csikós tradition is closely associated with the Hungarian puszta (The Pannonian Steppe). It is also closely linked to the Nonius breed of horse.

The gulyás is the traditional mounted cattle-herdsman of Hungary. The gulyás tradition is associated with the Hungarian puszta and with the Hungarian Grey or Hungarian Steppe breed of Podolic cattle. Gulyás is the origin of the word goulash.

A gardian is a mounted cattle herdsman in the Camargue delta in Provence, southern France. The Camargue is known for its beautiful white horses, which are considered to be one of the oldest breeds in the world.

The czaban were the traditional cattle herdsmen of the Polish people. Their cavalry was among the most highly regarded in earlier centuries. From the Middle Ages onward, vast herds of cattle were driven by these cowboys from Poland and Hungary to markets in Germany,

The Vaqueiros d'alzada are a northern Spanish nomadic people in the mountains of León and Asturias, who practiced transhumance, i.e. moving seasonally with cattle. Historically, the vaqueiros were characterized as a free people in the mountains.
