Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Decorating with a brain and a crane…
Blog Guy, several months ago you analyzed the Libyan conflict by comparing the furniture styles of the Gaddafi supporters and the rebels. I believe you called it “Divan intervention in Libya?” What else can we learn by looking at protesters and their furniture?
Good question. Check these demonstrators in Israel in the top photo. They’ve done a fine job of turning their protest site into a cozy living room.
They’ve combined a contemporary sofa with traditional rugs to create a relaxed mood. I admire their use of a push broom as what we decorators call an “objet…”
Judging from the fact that one of those guys looks like he’s picking his nose, they’ve succeeded in creating a very homey feel.
The place with the mostage postage is…
Blog Guy, can you please settle a bet with my dermatologist’s sommelier?
Really? On a summer weekend I’m still settling bets for unlikely professionals?
Yes. I say all postage stamps are the same size, but he says the ones in Syria are gigantic.
Look at the scythe of that knife!
Honey, I’m goin’ shoppin’ downtown. You want anything?
I sure do, Earl. We need skim milk, tuna fish, Hostess Ding Dongs, and darn, there was something else…
Oh yeah, daggers! We’ve got some birthdays coming up and daggers make great gifts.
The most romantic protests ever?
Blog Guy, I read that they’re having street protests in Casablanca. Can you give us some details?
You know I don’t like to do research.
Well, maybe you could just look at some recent photos and guess what’s going on, as usual?
Letting the qat out of the bag…
Blog Guy, I read with interest your item about the goofy protesters in Yemen. You know, the snake-biters, the bread-heads and so on.
So have they made progress since they started getting goofier? I’ve seen plenty of photos of angry crowds over there.
Call it a tokin’ effort?
Lamar, get in my office! Are you the one who approved the permit for those people to hold a huge Global Marijuana March in the streets here over the weekend?
Aren’t you aware that some folks blame marijuana for things like difficulty in concentrating, slowed reaction time and altered time perception? I can’t believe you let them march!
Get out your daggers, kids!
Okay staff, we’ve been hired by the anti-government faction over in Yemen to get some publicity for their cause.
It seems that what with Bahrain and Egypt and Libya and all, nobody is even paying attention to the poor protesters in Yemen.
Go ahead, I’ve seen worse… Well, maybe not…
Blog Guy, what is your policy on negotiating with extremists?
My what?
Your policy. Now that you qualify as a Senior Blogger, you have to take some shifts directing counter-terrorism tactical units. You didn’t see that in the Facebook Network rules?
No, I guess I just clicked on AGREE, like everybody else. But I’ll tell you this, I will never negotiate with extremists. We will not compromise.
The creepiest photo of all time?
What’s the matter, Blog Guy? You look very upset.
It’s my eyes. I saw something I shouldn’t have. Probably the creepiest photo I’ve ever seen in my whole life. The pain won’t go away.
Wow! Do tell.
The best way I can describe it is, say I sat for hours and made a list of all the things that I think make this a wonderful country, right?
