so from time to time i have started googling the phrase "fun silly pictures of strange weird" just because it seemed like the right thing to do to give a bit of the different flavour to Irresistibly Fish and so far it has done that... first there was 'obey this sign' sign and smoking chicken fish and then there was bacon cat and toilet mug and what does week three hold? well take a look [...]
they move among us. little girls wearing pink dresses and matching pink bonnets who move around among us undetected. innocent-looking. some might say cute. i don't. but some might. always holding firmly on to the hand of a surrogate adult life-form clone creating the appearance of normalcy in their day-to-day meanderings as they move around from place to place always staring, subtly taking in information from their surrounding surroundings. occasionally, when data collecting has been [...]
so with election day happening in Americaland this week it was almost inevitable that Brad Fish, host of the hilarious 'Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect' series on You Tube would lend some words of warning as to why voting for the elections [with an 'L'] can be a Dangerous Thing for reasons you might Least Expect... check it out and if it makes you smile, laugh, giggle or snort some kind of liquid through [...]
Famous stuffed dolphin No_bob encounters famous Petronas towers a few years ago i attended a youth conference in Malaysia and so naturally i took the world's most famous stuffed dolphin, No_bob [I was going to call him 'Bob' but he doesn't bob] with me... this picture in front of the Petronas towers signifies the tourist experience for me - feeling very very small in front of something that is very very big - [...]
my wife and i love children! other peoples! we love the bit where we get to give them back afterwards. and then return to our childrenless lair. [okay, it's not quite a lair, more an intentional community house in the inner city area of kensington, philadelphia... but still, no children living with us in the house at this particular point in time] so kind of like a choose-your-own-[children]-adventure of sorts - we get to decide [...]
so the other day i am on one of the bizarrest [so bizarre in fact, english grammar policers, that it took 'most bizarre' to another level] phone conversations at work that i have ever been on, which basically ends with this old couple [him speaking, her in the background] letting me know emphatically that the appropriate number of times for one to have read the bible through from beginning to end is somewhere >30 ["I [...]
the other day, for fun, i googled the phrase "fun silly pictures of strange weird" and came up with this strange assortment of pics... it felt like time for a revisit to the strange wonderfulness and weirdosity that exists in the google image page of that residence and so here are some more that are fun or silly or really quite strangeweird [it's a word!]: For those to whom the complexity of the attaching [...]
so yesterday i posted a very simple blog as a response to the wordpress challenge of the week which was a splash of colour [or 'color' if you're americanese] i found a picture of a splash of blue and posted that as the solitary post of the blog and then i gave it the title 'red' and then posted it at various times of the day with the following intros: do you believe everything you [...]
one of my favourite random life statements that i made up years ago and that i unleash unwittingly [well, maybe a little wittingly] on the world every now and then is the one that goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it throw stones in glass houses." while it's true that i made it up, i didn't really give it a lot of thought until today, but if you give [...]
we [myself, my beautiful wife Val, our housemate Sueihn and my gym and office buddy Coe aka 'Bubbly'] just got back from a very long trip which involved two twenty-five-plus hour two day road trips on either side of a one day Nurturing Communities conference which lead directly into the Christian Community Development Association [CCDA] annual conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota... what a complete blast. we had a great time road-tripping up, but it was our [...]
