About Me

My photo
I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

BOOKSHELF TOY BOX UPDATE

I've finished my list of books. They are not all 100% complete but I'm very close - just a lot of antiquing and detail work.








I really like how there are so many different thicknesses, widths, and lengths.

Whenever I see someone trying to parallel park I avert my eyes and continue walking giving them the privacy they need because I’m a decent human being.

AIN'T NATURE GRAND

Rocks are cool.

^^A3^^

This thing flew over my house!

^^A4^^

Mussel Car?

^^A5^^

^^A6^^

I'm not the only one to collect Hearts of Stone...

But the artist in me won't let me leave them unadorned.


This next one has an aneurysm.

^^A7^^

Ice Drift

^^A8^^

Those zany anatidaes.

^^A9^^

There's a volatile region on the sun that could potentially produce a huge flare soon.

As I understand it we only have to worry about the flares on or near sun's equator.

^^A10^^

My wife is so bad at sexting, guys will be like “Nice ass” and she’ll be like “Oh, this old thing”?

SOCIAL CONCERNS

< some serious, some not >


^^B1^^

Downtown London 18 years ago - on 24 April 1993, after Irish terrorists detonated a bomb. 

They never publicly declared why they set it off.

That conflict lasted for generation after generation. You would think they would come up with a Plan B sooner than they did.

^^B2^^

Norman Rockwell Unlike Any Other

A man known for saccharin sweet American paintings did this one of a 1963 murder of three civil rights workers by the KKK.

^^B3^^

^^B4^^

^^B5^^

"Banklick"?

^^B6^^

^^B7^^

^^B8^^

^^B9^^

^^B10^^

Get it?

^^B11^^

^^B12^^

I have never succumbed to pressure to change one of my mural designs.

^^B13^^

I'm not really sure what that means but I like it.

^^B14^^

Just because you can does not mean you should.

^^B15^^

Hungarian news channel was talking about school reopening and not everyone is on board.

^^B16^^

^^B17^^

I could sit and watch a fire for hours.

^^B18^^

One time I made my sister's Barbie write a suicide note (to Ken) when I was 7 or 8 and then my mom was like ... “That is so creative” instead of medicating me.

PROBLEM SOLVERS


Jeeeeez.

^^C1^^

Science fair: "Does your cat's butthole really touch all the surfaces in your home?"

"He ran his experiment by putting a non-toxic lipstick on his cats' anuses . . . and then keeping track of where that lipstick showed up around the house."

[verification needed]

I would have liked to watch him put lipstick on that cat's ass.

^^C2^^

^^C3^^

If you don't understand the cleverness of that ask your local teenage boy. But here's a hint:

^^C4^^


A giant QR code made with drones, in Shanghai

I wonder if it would link you someplace is you took a picture of it with your phone. If not it should.

^^C5^^

Wood bending

It's not a log but rather many individual boards.

^^C6^^

^^C7^^

There's a Mexican food joke in there some place.

^^C8^^

Why the hell not?

*Days later I saw one of those in a TV commercial filmed on a construction site.

^^C9^^

It looks like he's lying on a luge-like sled.

^^C10^^

Martin Baker Ejection Seat training rig in 1947

That final little kick when he survived.

^^C11^^

Do you think the guy in the red shoes is manipulating the lifting device?

^^C12^^

Puzzle Time: 54

Ralph Henry said...

Please be so kind as to explain how you reached that conclusion.

1st number x the 4th number
2nd number x the 4th number
3rd number x the 4th number
4th number x the 4th number

re the IRA bomb in London. Of course thousands of rich Americans [who called themselves "Irish" because they once drank a pint of Guiness] financed the IRA who planted these bombs. Thanks very much ...how do you feel about scumbags who attack New York?

Puzzle time:

Missing number is 54.

There are two related sequences of numbers here:

3,9,27 and 81 (the evenly placed numbers) are the powers of 3

So 3(1); 3(2); 3(3) and 3(4) respectively (or if you prefer 3; 3 x 3; 3 x 3 x 3; 3 x 3 x 3 x 3).

The odd spaced numbers (2;6;18; and 54) are arrived at by subtracting the previous power of 3

So 3(1) - 3(0) or 3 - 1 = 2
3(2) - 3(1) or 9 - 3 = 6
3(3) - 3(2) or 27 - 9 = 18
3(4) - 3(3) or 81 - 27 = 54

***Note any number to the power of 0 = 1.

Thank you all very much. I know that took a lot of time and we all appreciate it.
