Another installment of found poetry
deeply stupid

That's right! More found poetry, carefully crafted from the headers of spam messages entering my office e-mail. I think that I will have to "up the ante" the next time by following a specific verse form, such as an English sonnet.

Prospectus

Child or adult?
Most men have this problem
Mogadiscio cupful
A heavy noise

King Moran
Agrarian black
Carlson sharecrop
Truck fences with cravat

A moment later, Natasha
(Local cosmetics counter)
Whistles came from the entire floor
Respecter that the body

Lay the pipe
Filler tremor
Incest?
Just select "Be Ordained" to complete the process

Nutshell grunt
Coriander continent gist
generators in the surgical center
Retribution betrayal involuntary

We have troubled
Wild college girls from Florida
Nordstrom shoofly
Martini sandy exit creak

And just then
The moon madly
Huron saviour frowzy Aruba
Hierarchal mission

Caprice bison
Choosy ointment county
Salubrious block Britannic
Inane Napoleon psychotherapist

Deleterious precipice efface
Mule calorie your new home
Fake arthritis slip
America's best kept secret pinwheel

Atonal farsighted pilgrimage
Altar escadrille chinchilla Atlantis
Cafeteria evidential theme
Santoria bergamot Ceres

Many complain that
Monitory alcoholic defensible
Become very desirable
Victory at last

Emerson filters Nellie's horror
Respond, Ginsburg bugaboo!

Days of Blam Blam, Years of Kablooie
hat is vogue

While we were watching the movie "Fletch" in Spanish the other night, we discovered a raccoon trying to break into the house via a window in the TV room. Do you suppose raccoons have much success with that ploy? My soup-ervisor reports that raccoons break into her house on a regular basis simply by coming in through the cat door.

I noted that Spanish is such a happy language that it seemed difficult to convey the sarcasm of the English version of the movie. "Fletch" is one of my favorite flicks, so I was hoping to pick up a few phrases in Spanish. I would probably have more success with that scheme if the movie was "16 Candles".

Photoblog Blast from the Past
photodog

Here are some of the more interesting photos I absconded with this past weekend.

Clowns eat children.

Here a young lad, possibly my brother, confronts a clown menacing a little girl. One day I would like to do a painting based on this photo, as the scene is quite bizarre.

clean lederhosen

Note that my brother's lederhosen appear clean and in good repair. This is not cruel treatment of my brother, as they were living in Germany at the time and merely honoring local customs by dressing him as such. How cute! (My brother does not trifle with the Internet and thus I am unlikely to suffer retribution for posting this.)

milking a plastic cow

Okay, I can take it as well as dish it out. I have no idea why we are trying to milk a statue of a cow. I have no memory of this incident, and it's just as well.

mum at my age

This is my Mum when she was my age. I have never seen her with this sort of smile on her face, though friends may note that I smile like this for the camera on a regular basis.

Make of this what you will
ni

I slept with my eyes open, and dreamed of nuclear war and Pierce Brosnan watching Little Orphan Annie take a shower.
