Eye protection is overrated.

It’s a horror just to be nominated
An unscheduled two week outage. Aside from the day to day distractions of work and whatnot, there was a card to be made for my daughter’s birthday. Maybe shall post that in the blog next week.
I actually have no issue with the ice bucket challenge thing sweeping the internets. I just thought the idea of the boiling ammonia challenge to be funny. Plus the thought of someone taking it as a CHALLENGE challenge – to out do or take it to the next level. Plus someone who is not us gets hurt and that is always the funnys.
Lazy, hazy, crazy, highly infectious days of summer
Summer is rolling steadily to it’s exit. Only a few weeks left to drift in the pool followed by a round of hepatitis shots.
Rod Serling’s Night Cubicle
If the dodo’s took over, I wonder if we would even notice. Other than obviously banning eggs for easter. Or maybe not – they may not have any strong opinion on chicken eggs. Like that Star Trek episode with the two guys who are white/black and black/white. The difference would only matter to them.
Glorbification
‘Not with a bang but a glorb.”
Someday if/when someone analyzes this and speaks of social commentary, I plan to just go along with it. “Yes yes totally meant that. I’m all about metaphors.”
I would think while re-creating dinosaurs and making apes servants have their inherent dangers, it would be bringing back a species we made extinct that is the real threat. Clearly they would have a very biased opinion of how to make things Right.
THE BOLD TASTE OF LIBERTY
I always planned for the comics near holidays to be more impulsive in a way and simple – avoid over thinking. The idea being a) to make for less time involved when obviously near holidays time was in a crunch and b) try ideas that I would not normally use.
In reality, it turns out that b) happens, but I actually spend more time on these. “What would Winston look like with a giant M-80 in his ear.” becomes “Why can’t I find good photo reference of ham-pineapple jello?”.
There is a lesson in there but damned if I’ll learn it.
Glorb.
Remember – feeling glorb is perfectly natural. It’s how you express the glorb that matters.
Kafka, Fran and Ollie
Full disclosure: I’ve never actually read The Metamorphosis. I am familiar with the story and while I’m not sure how it would go over as a children’s show, I bet it would make a great musical. When that actually happens, remember you heard the idea here first.
Ostensibly overheard
Actors and tractors.
Contrary metonymy
“I hear they buried them bodies up in the ice cream mountains.” – some crazy drunken gummy bear
Let Easter in.
Easter kind of freaks me out. I have no explanation for this.
Meta for life
In all honesty I don’t actually believe this to be accurate for life as a whole. However I can say it does apply for certain moments in life. I expect all of us have had instances at work, or driving, or at your chosen place of worship where you look around and think, “Yep – pretty much just riding a short bus full of clowns into the sun.” Or I may be projecting.
Heck sometimes you don’t even get the bus.
