The concept of abstract thought in animals.

The scientific thinker will say animals only rely on instincts

and that

pet owners add humanized caricaturists to dumb animals.

Pet owners observe their pets and see more going on in their heads than I eat, sleep, poo, and mark my territory.

Each camp would rather argue than

take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem.

*

All this because of

how people think that other people think about how an animals thinks.

The Goof

The original name of Goofy was The Goof.  

If I'm wrong leave a comment in my turned off comment section.  I turned off the comment area because most of them were from Russia and if either Hillary or Trump become president I could wind up on a no-fly list or worse.

Father forgive me for it's been 30 years since my last blog entry.  Well, it seems that way.  I went to the Doctor and he said, "Go see this other doctor he could use the money."  So off I go to this new guy and he says, "Thanks for coming, that will be one kidney."  So he takes it, but he never shows me it, he probably lost it. Now my mom won't talk to me just because she died.

But more important than all of that, who ate the most pie? 

Bit Coins

I have decided to start my own Bit Coins. 

Every coin will be worth 5 not 1, but 5! 

I have tried other designs, but they just didn’t pass my high standards.  

To use them just print, cut and stick in the book you're reading.

  I have yet to have any book reject them.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh?

Stop in the name of the…

 the name of… 

Boy it’s on the tip of my Tongue.

Indignation Is Very Seductive

  We all get mad, but it’s just so ordinary.  Why not go for indignation that sounds so much more sophisticated.  Let me illustrate my point.

Bob Day of the “American Arrogance” says, “I’m just mad about Indignation.”

Sue Reed of the “Seat Behind me on the Bus” says, “Get away from me ya @#%*.”

The Master’s Touch

If you do any kind of art, you will have a favorite famous artist.

Most of the stories of the great artists are tales of how they suffered for their art and labored to show meaning in every brush stroke only to die penniless and broken.

Then you will read a story about some elephant at some zoo that paints by flicking some big brush on a canvas for a handful of peanuts and the zoo sells the paintings for hundreds of dollars.

Just thought I’d encourage artistic greatness.

How Not To Cartoon

1. Don’t make a joke that has to be explained.

This is lichen

Lichen: simple slow-growing plant that typically forms a low crustlike, leaflike, or branching growth on rocks, walls, and trees.

2. Don’t do inside jokes.

My daughter and I were listening to an audio book, that went on and on with mind numbing details. At one point it said, “The lichen was pallid.” I said, “Oh no…the lichen is pallid!” She laughed and we used it as a run on joke for a week. “Dad… look out for the pallid lichen and so on.

3. Don’t post it to a blog.

I looked out my window and saw a UFO!

  I was going to use my new HD ultra resolution camera, but quickly remembered UFO pictures are done with cheap and blurry cameras.  So having just studied the impressionist movement made an ink drawing as it happened.

Been painting miniatures

Lots of Battletech mechs , 

War Hammer budget bin miniatures

 and Rapier Space Mice.

In Battletech there are small Protomechs 

 I plan to use the Space Mice as a joke.

Put Stanly and Betty in a game and people just say,"No."

Limerick

Octavius Monk was a very smart punk

And he had his ideas in clusters

Though his thoughts would amaze

And worthy of praise

Most people he would just fluster

Lewis Carroll

From Some Of His Poems

"The Good and Great must ever shun

That reckless and abandoned one

Who stoop to perpetrate a pun.

...

Sound argument and grave defence,

Strange questions raised on "Why?" and "Whence?"

And wildly tangled evidence.

...

Her idea of passive beauty

Was a squinting of the left-eye,

Was a drooping of the right-eye,

Was a smile that went up sideways

To the corner of the nostrils.

...

(On writing poetry)

"for instance, if I wished, Sir,

Of mutton-pie to tell,

Should I say 'dreams of fleecy flocks

Pent in a wheaten cell'?"

...

There is an insect that people avoid

(Whence is derived the verb 'to flee')

Where have you been by it most annoyed?

In lodgings by the Sea.

Fahrenheit 451

What traitors books can be, you think they’re backing you up and they turn on you.

Could God create a rock so heavy He could not lift it?

If God is omnipresent, He is the rock.

It’s a great game,

I've tried acupuncture and holly water, but I think it wants to go out in a blaze of glory.

I also think it wants me to go with it.

I should get it a puppy.

A Thanksgiving Tale

We as a family were in the car traveling the hills and dales of CT to gather at my Mothers domain to eat when Mrs. ZZ notice she had broke a finger nail, “blast I was letting them grow long to get a manicure.”
I suggested that we call on the demon Arasmuth to fix her nail, “We’ll have to sacrifice a chicken and recite some satanic verse, but it could be easily done.”  Mrs. ZZ looked puzzled, but I reassured her that the cars upholstery had been recently Scotch Guarded.  “Of course he will want some document signed in blood, but whatever just get on with it I’ll tell him.”
Daughter ZZ pointed out that if we did this, when he got back to his smoldering underworld and reported in, he would be embarrassed how easy it was to complete his task.
Son ZZ, pointed out that we had arrived at Grandma’s.
The End?
Hope that your Thanksgiving is.  From the Family of Mr. ZZ

Happy New Year?

(Click image to zoom)

It just wouldn't be a new year without a prediction of doom.  I sadly don’t have one. 

The only thing I have is my New Year resolutions, to quit smoking.  Okay I don’t smoke anyway, but it sounds good.

So if you have a prediction, or know of one that is for the end of the world this year, don’t be shy spread the gloom around.  Remember sharing is caring.
