For My Consideration

The Camera Obscura below is is in the collection of historical apparatus of the National University of Ireland in Galway. It was used for sketching; the tracing paper was placed on the missing glass inside the folding hood, and a 45° mirror inside the box reflected the image onto the paper.

Birthers -Seriously?

LOL

I’m just wondering.

If President Obama

had been born

on the same exact day in the same exact year

in Hawaii

to

WHITE PARENTS

would anyone be questioning his citizenship?

That’s what I thought.

So what do you  think when you see people Cyber-Flirting on your Facebook Page?

I’m thinking I’ve got this case of Writer’s Block going on

and I’m getting desperate for a story.

BTW

don’t fall over yourselves unfriending me.

I take notes.

LOL

 

Coffee, Tea or um…

kerf-r

LYNNWOOD (WA).– An espresso stand featuring semi-nude baristas that opened next to a preschool and across the street from an elementary school is raising hackles. Story HERE

The Mayor of Lynnwood says this is a ‘touchy’ subject and someone left a comment on this article that reads in part: Please quote the portion of the article that says children can see naked breasts from the school.

You know, why a million more of these stands didn’t open up in Lynnwood right after this article appeared in the Herald I will never know.

So.

 What do I think about Coffee being served by girls in their underwear down the hill from where I live?

I hope they don’t spill any on themselves, that stuff is hot.

Yeah.

That’s about it.

 

 

A Marvelous Thing!

slinky

One of my favorite toys in the entire world

was

and remains

the Slinky.

To this day I’m your fan of the basic

Silver Slinky.

NOT

 the  Slinky Jr., the Plastic Slinky or the Slinky Dog or even the  Slinky Pets- and surpise I didn’t even like the Crazy Eyes (glasses with Slinky-extended fake eyeballs) I never owned one of those Neon Slinkies though I found a few of them under my Christmas Tree from time to time.

See, for years I thought that one little toy meant I was your normal Suburban kid and not the little weirdo who got rocks thrown at her by her Blue Bird Troop because she didn’t bring Maple Squares on treat day.

And then, one day I decided to write about

The Slinky

and learned it’s inventor- Richard James- left his wife and ran off to Bolivia to join a religious cult.

You know, it’s true.

You can run as far as you want and when you’re done running

you’ll always end up

 right back in the place you were trying to get away from in the first place.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said Obama had turned Martin Luther King’s dream into a reality .

Just Name It

The next time that Special Someone asks what you want

just tell them:

You Can Leave Your Hat On

Word Up

It’s all about words today here at the Bones.

If you could banish a word from the English Language what would it be?

Me.

I would flush the word boing.

Heck.

I wouldn’t even bother to flush it, I’d take a plunger and jam it down the first toilet I could get too before I could stomp it out of existance.

Who the hell came up with that one?

Boing.

It serves no darn purpose.

Oh and while I’m at it I say we loose Awesome…I don’t hate the word Awesome I just think it would be funny to see what happens if people can’t short cut a view by heading down ‘awesome avenue’ instead of EXPLAINING why they think something is so spectacular it sucks the air out fo their lungs and makes them feel that the Universe is truly a very big place and that feeling sends a tingle up and down their spine.

So … think about it what word would you like to lose?
