A Parlour for a Plague

I know just what you mean.

Does he like watching those Jackass movies?

Well, the only nut/seed that's in there that has a fair amount of carb is the peanut.

The almonds are ok.
Hemp, chia and flaxseed are bascially all fiber. Eat as much of those has you like.
Likewise sesame seeds and sunflower seeds.

So if you want a nut butter spread, you could do a lot worse.

Do Aussies eat peanut butter regularly?

To me it just seems like such an American food.

On Sad and Useless did you see the one about animals posing like rock stars for album covers?

Speaking about sad and useless...

...what is with all these pathetic "celebrities'? Posing in revealing outfits, at the beach, showing baby-bumps, offering makeup tips (some need to be given makeup advice because they don't have a clue as to what to do), showing how they are " surviving" ...then showing off their mansions.

You haven't dealt with my post office. When they put delivered on the website, it's most often in some other's mailbox and you never see it. I used to complain, but they got mad and disabled my USPS online services. So I couldn't track the packages and they would not put a notice in the mailbox. I get packages sent to an address in Spring now.

As for the extra order, I didn't want to return it, because I will be needing it in time.

Gotcha.

ok so I guess we're on a sad and useless jag.

Just looked at one about making baby doll heads into planters. All of the others were pretty tacky, but I have to say I really like this one....



Ya see, I have this thing for baby doll heads and other body parts.

I think it comes from, as I've said before, being creeped out by dolls. It's like if you take the individual components and make art with it, it takes away the evil power a whole doll can have over you.

No longer will they sneak up on you in a dark hallway, or be staring at you when you wake up.
They can only do stuff like that when they are whole.

I have a copy of "The Horses of Neptune" by Walter Crane on a wall.
In the front of it, I have a shallow wide bowl that make of clear sea green glass. In it I contructed a beach scene that's a continuation of the picture. As well as sand, pebbles that represent rocks, small shells etc, I have a small bonfire made of wooden match sticks. Some of them have burned tips, oters are stuck in the sand ready to be lit if a passing ship comes by so it can make a rescue.

For the house in Mexico, I wanted to reconstruct a scene from Lord of the Flies.
I have a few dozen of those mini naked babies that are supposed to be used a baby showers or something. They're only about 1/2 to 3/4's of an inch long.

Screw that. I'm gonna have a big ass matchstick bonfire, and have some of the babies dancing around the bonfire holding sharpened match stick spears, some of them with red felt tip marker blood. Others will be climbing up the back of a pea gravel hill, planning a coup.

I'd like to think of something that would replicate flames in the bonfire, but I don't want it to look cheap or ridiculous.

We had a Polish Rooster like the one in yer firt pic . We named him Jerry Lee

A lot Australians eat peanut paste, I think.

The normal versions are full of added salt and sugar, so I get just dry roasted peanuts ground. Asian food is very common here so we eat it in Sartee sauce too. My favourite chilli in oil has peanuts in it.

Im allowed some nut paste and it’s a real treat.

The top one including the Highland cow is a complete delight.

The sad and useless site is great satire. It’s dropped off my Facebook feed a bit...must give it likes!

Could weeny lights imitate the flame? There are flame lights available

Where are you getting your pigs head and smashed Piggy?

I have an acquaintance of many many years....he’s too annoying to be a friend.

He started doing handiwork and was working alone on a very high, steep roof in the rain.

He fell into the neighbour’s side access.....often very narrow in old neighbourhoods....and wasn’t found for more than 24 hours. We tend to have high fences and lots of foliage.

He was unconscious for a few days but DIDNT BREAK A BONE!

The doctors said he had super strong bones which were attributed to his having grown up on a dairy farm.

As for his head injury, he’s not appreciably madder than he was before so I guess his skull is strong too.

Well some of the babies will obviously have injuries. Will need tiny little bandages made from strips of grass.

Piggy’s remains will be at the bottom of the pea gravel, with his head under some of the rocks. I think the legs should be sticking straight up in the air, like it just happened. Tiny tiny spectacles made out of very thin jewelry wire with one lens made out of a white piece of glitter the other red or black. They’d be cast off
To the side.

The boar head? Oh man. Maybe I could find a minuscule plastic pig at the party store near the naked babies.

This self isolating is really holding up the project.

How big a boar head do you need? Schleich make great animals but if you’re using full size dolls it would be too small.

I remember as a kid I liked a good hidey hole my own self. ☺

saw an old guy at the drug store that I go to buy my newspapapers. He
was masked with the exception of his ample nose which was breaching through the top of his mask

I am seeing SO many people, all under 30 years old, doing that now.

Farging Iceholes.

Why don't they just do this?
