Curiouser & Curiouser


Confused?  See post below.  (As if that will help.)

Pierre took a glance at this rendition of the fire hydrant with shoes picture and he named it "Breaking Away."

  1. Oh my god... I think the aliens have been eating mushrooms...
    :-)

    So this is what it looks like printed on a burlap potato sack ?

  2. (which is to say : I like it...)

    This would go great with StickUp Artist's ass ; two beautiful pieces of gorgeous re-working...

  3. Owen,
    It is perhaps less than advisable to use the words "stickup" and "ass" in the same sentence. At least in polite company. But obviously it's okay to do so here!

  4. ...on further reflection, Owen, the use of the words "stick up," "ass," and "aliens" in the same thought sequence is perhaps not all that coincidental as those alien abductors are reputed to be quite keen on conducting a particular type of probe on their abductees. (Someone else was mentioning that fact on their blog recently so you know it's got to be true.)

  5. It just occurred to me, it could have been the zebra... having found a taste for human flesh, he took on a bigger target here... but by the time he got to the feet, he just couldn't swallow one more bite, so the shoes were left...

    And where is everyone ??? All gone on vacation or something ? Where's that Saj ???

    How on earth did you get the burlap sack texture anyway... you really are getting good with this stuff...

  6. Owen,
    (I don't know why I bother saying your name as it's only just you and I hanging out here on the corner, watching all the zebras go by)...as I was saying, I got the special effect by putting a burlap bag over my head while taking the picture. That is also why the zebra didn't get a bite of me.

    As for the Saj, I heard it through the grapevine that she's busy being important; but then, she's always been important to us!

  7. Sorry, I'd have been here sooner but was mixing a Green Eyed Monster when suddenly I was abducted by aliens and closely inspected with my own swizzle stick..ahem. Love the burlap sack....

  8. Saj,
    I suppose I shouldn't laugh at your recent up close and a little too personal encounter with aliens, but I couldn't help myself (snort, giggle, guffaw!). I'll be carefully inspecting any swizzle stick I find in my drink when visiting your house; but I suppose that alcohol is a good disinfectant!

  9. Both of you... AHEM !

  10. Owen,
    You seem to be having a terrible time with that frog in your throat (no offense to La Grenouille) ummm...What I mean to say...Would you care for a cough candy dear brother o'mine? All this a-hemming can't be good for your vocal chords. I guess that none of the 3 of us sibs will ever look at a swizzle stick quite the same again!

  11. Always happy to lower the tone of the joint...(ahem)

  12. Saj,
    The tone around my joint seems to be pretty much "basso profundo" as the default setting. I just wonder why it always happens at my place rather than yours or Owen's? Good thing nobody's paying any attention here! Maybe we've scared them all off with our ribald commentaries. Or the aliens have been rounding up my peeps to try out a new stock of swizzle sticks they picked up at a going out of business bar sale. Maybe we can get a deal on those swizzlers once they're done with them to use in hour hotel bar!
