Ads that I like #78


I am a firm believer that there is no greater gift that a father can bestow on a toddler than their very own handgun. In the interest of safety, I regularly allow Henry and Ezra to cavort about in bed with Iver Johnson Revolvers, because they are perfectly safe (aside from their ability to kill and maim, that is).

Hmm, thoughts towards security and safety are the primary causes of conflict and division.

Just a philosophical note.

Aigars, I think that you're spot on there.

What an ad.....falls under the
"Smoking is good for you ads!" hope all is well in your part of the world!

Neva, guns don't kill people, crocodiles kill people.

If children had guns, they could shoot the crocodiles. Sure, a few might accidently shoot each other, but I am surprised (and a little bit disappointed) that you don't seem to care about the risks crocodiles pose to children in the greater Chicago area...

Your writing is hilarious ROFL...:-D...

And no comments about the ad - now you see these are the people who really smoke and that's why come up with such ads.

Babzy, your kids never had guns?
Kris McCracken said…
KL, but what were they smoking?

If you want to be loved, be lovable.

Henry admires the view.

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral

Zeal, n. A certain nervous disorder afflicting the young and inexperienced. A passion that goeth before a sprawl.

Here I have tried my hand at the homemade sepia-toned photo. I wasn’t happy with the way that the sun had washed out some of the colours in the original, so had a bit of a fiddle because I like the look on Henry’s face, and didn’t want to pass on posting it. I have a tip for those of you burdened with the great, unceasing weight of parenthood. I have a new recipe, in the vein of the quick microwaved chocolate cake . Get this, microwaved potato chips . I gave them a run on Sunday, Henry liked the so much I did it again last night. Tonight, I shall be experimenting with sweet potato. I think that the ground is open for me to exploit opportunities in the swede, turnip, carrot and maybe even explore in the area of pumpkins. Radical, I know. I’m a boundary-pusher by nature. It's pretty simple, take the potato. Slice it thinly (it doesn't have to be too thin, but thin enough). Lay the slices on the microwave plate, whack a bit of salt over the top and nuke the buggers for five minut
