Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Aren’t these elevators going awfully fast?
Hold it right there, Blog Guy! I’m calling you out on something! Yesterday, you had a supposed beauty pageant shot where the contestants were all standing in front of a faraway building. Was that the ONLY picture you had from that event?
No, of course not. In addition to the So Far Away They Look Like Ants photo, we did cover the other portions of that pageant. Have a look:
Contestants stand akimbo in a dimly-lit interrogation room- Contestant inspects empty office space
- Contestants jammed into Over-Capacity Glass Elevators smile as they hurtle to certain death
There, does that answer your concerns?
No, I’m also concerned you used the word akimbo in a blog where we’re never supposed to learn anything.
Well then, whatever you do, don’t click on it.

I clicked!! I clicked!! I learnt!! I learnt!!
What kind of dresses were the contestants wearing?
Good Shra, Good Shra. You are a good pupil.Akimbo, that’s a dance, right?
Models in a bottle, I like it.
Moreover, the photographer has absolutely no imagination… I cant even see the dresses and shoes properly!!!
T, read the captions… you would “learn” too..
Shra, I also clicked and I also did learn. Nevertheless, the good bit is with my next dose of meds all that is going away, so I guess you shouldn’t shouldn’t really worry about that, should you?
I don’t think you should use three forms of ‘should’ in one sentence, should you?
Shra, I did read the captions, all three of them.
You’ll have to do better than that Basler. I already knew what akimbo meant.I quite like the second photo. It’s poignant.
White mantillas count as white hats, right?
Great! Now I have to look up ‘poignant.’
Perpugilliam, only if they are worn on the head, much in the manner of monteras.Nevertheless, I still have to see white monteras but do let us all know if you see them. Then the white Hat conspiracy has reached too far and we’re all doomed!
And follow that up with “mantillas”
I will say this much. Within the next couple of days the white hat conspiracy is going to blow wide open. I have new photos people won’t even believe….
Robert, does that mean you are coming clean on this conspiracy thing and your involvement in it?
I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I think I’ve been brainwashed.I went shopping last night for my trip to the coast this weekend and what did I come home with?A white hat.I didn’t even realise the significance until now. I just thought I was innocently purchasing a garment to protect me from skin cancer. Instead I realise that, unbeknownst to me, I have been inducted into the most nefariou cartel the world has ever seen.
I dont blame you, LMR… I have had a white hat for 2 years now…. annd since the white hat conspiracy, I wear it every day.. for 5 mins…
