Phew! It’s not that bad after all 🙂
It’s been a while since I talked about time capsules. The last time, was here on this Andy Warhol cartoon.
So, I’ve shown you my time capsule, what would you put in yours?
Well, you might think what an absurd invention, but there are other takes on the humble umbrella.
Check out patent USD324117 below with its unique patent claim of ‘the ornamental design for a dog umbrella, as shown and described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a dog umbrella showing my new design, it being understood that the broken lines are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design’
So what do you think? Is your pampered pooch in need of one of these?
When I typed ‘pick your brain’ in Google I was rather surprised to see the number of articles giving advise on how to avoid having your brain picked. Personally, I don’t find it that painful and am typically happy to share my thoughts with people. But perhaps if the pickings were more frequent, I might begin to have negative feelings about the cranial exploration.
Do you mind having your brain picked?
It always amuses me, to spy on unsuspecting people at the gym who are more focussed on viewing their muscles in the mirror, than they are on actually getting a good workout. The other fun one, is to watch people taking a cheeky peek at themselves in the shop windows as they walk on by.
Ever caught someone or been caught out your self?
That is the question asked by many a cartoonist
Whether ’tis nobler in the work of drawing to suffer
The scratches and harshness of the HB pencil,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them by using the softness of the 2B ?
To HB, to scratch – No more…
Choose 2B (and as Wham once said) Choose life!
Apologies Shakespeare, twas all in the name of good fun.
So, what’s it for you – 2B or HB?
Are you a stationary victim like myself and can’t walk past the callings of a new pencil, black felt tip pen or marker?
I couldn’t believe it when I heard a radio advertisement for a coffee and peanut butter latte.
I admit that I can’t call myself a coffee purist as I drink a cafe latte with a spoonful of sugar, but this was stepping over the line.
Have you over stepped that line with coffee or any other food? Or perhaps you witnessed someone else boldly going where no man has gone before. Let me know.
After the series of mirror antics (here, here, here and here), I couldn’t help but continue with the idea of work inventions.
Perhaps Frank’s boss could team up with the inventors at Japanese company Thanko. they have developed the USB powered neck tie fan. And it has the special geniuss touch that Frank’s boss specialises in – being USB powered, means that you need to connect yourself into your computer to get the benefits of the equipment.
Would you buy a tie like this for yourself or as a gift?
Use liberally…
I remember when hair gel hit the market
I grabbed a tub and lathered liberally in an attempt to bring some control back to my 80’s perm (What was I thinking?)
But these days, one can be overwhelmed by the choice. Take your pick: traditional hair spray, mousse, putty, glue, glypto, whip, styling paste and pomade. Brylcreem, (that stuff Grand Dads put in their hair) is a type of pomade. It was invented in 1928 and made it’s mark in the market place with its successful 1950s TV advertising campaign, with the following jingle:
- Brylcreem — A Little Dab’ll Do Ya! Brylcreem — You’ll look so debonaire.
- Brylcreem — The gals’ll all pursue ya; they’ll love to run their fingers through your hair!.”
