I've done a lot of miscellaneous things here and there that haven't really fit into other posts. I started a tumblr blog last year for a place to dump these as I thought of them. But I figured (purely out of laziness) that I might as well share some of that with you. No commentary, just random. Enjoy (maybe).
Random literary insult #1:
To say I hate it would be an insult to the word 'hate.' The semi-random grouping of atoms that sat across from me was an affront to all that I held dear. Perhaps it had once been something more, maybe even a person, but now it was just a floating mass of particles contained within a slick veneer.
You make a better door than you do a window.
You make a better door than you do a window.
And how is that supposed to make all the doors of this world feel? Maybe we like being doors. You can see right through a window, but doors invite only those worthy to see inside, all the while quickly dismissing other, unworthy vessels. I have no time for cheep suits that reflect the personality inside them. Random or otherwise, a mass of atoms does not a person make.
(alright slight commentary - I've always loved Winnie the Pooh, and as adult this has translated into me doing many very bad jokes with such otherwise innocent characters.)
TS! Do more of these here. I REALLY enjoyed them.
ReplyDelete'You can see right through a window' That just speaks to me on so many levels. Very deep, man. Very deep.
You should do more of these. I agree with Anna.
ReplyDeleteThat salt is racist.
ReplyDeletedon't post them here because you are lazy, post them here because they are REALLY good!
ReplyDeleteI use the "bettter door than a window" when people get between me and the TV...
I like your point about doors vs windows. I'd trust my life to a door, not a window. Plus, usually, I'd rather have a door between me and a TV.

Add 60s glasses to the pepper shaker and you got a Far Side strip.
ReplyDeleteAmoebas (if that's what those were) really would have a hard time telling children apart, wouldn't they? That was my favorite one. How different can a single cell be from another? Alright, my nerdy juices are starting to flow, and that's how I know it's time to stop.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote here for: MORE PLEASE! :) Laughed my arse off at the first one!!!
ReplyDeletethe winnie the pooh one is fantastic ... your note at the end makes me curious what the other ones involving those guys are
ReplyDeleteyou make it yourself it good
ReplyDeleteI am very proud of Brother Eyeore. He is really taking his therapy to heart and finally expressing the way he really feels. Christopher Robin had it coming for a long long time. I always resented the fact that he never even brought out a nice refridgerator box for poor Eyeore to live in. I got a soft spot for that wonderful bastard and his delicious ennui.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! Way to go Eeyore! Way to stand up for yourself!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, look the look of your blog!
Oops, I LOVE the look. Love.
ReplyDelete:) tee hee
ReplyDeleteI have totally reenacted that scenario with my salt and pepper shakers before.
ReplyDeleteWhile waiting for dinner, I will sometimes act out their first date and wedding too.
Lovely how your mind flies here and there...the amoeba should know better than adopt a purple child....
ReplyDeletethe pepper has a point when he asks "leaving me for some one pasty and waif like"? .....
I am very happy you commented on my blog so I could find this!
ReplyDeleteI love the Pooh one. It looks like he's saying it to Christopher rather then the other way around...unless that's what it was suppossed to be. :p
ReplyDeleteRandom makes the world go round dude, bring on the awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think I want to be a doggie door, all flappy and lets in everyone and anyone.
