More funny stuff I got trolling the internet.

Anatomy of a Scam

Some of may have seen this on Facebook, or elsewhere.

You know it has to be some sort of trick, or we’d all go out and buy a candy bar, eat it that way and never have to buy another one again.  So I decided to dissect the gif animation and find out how they did it.  Here are my results.

And in slow motion so you can really see what’s going on.

So, it’s not really a scam, just a funny little slight of hand trick that I couldn’t resist figuring out.

Not that I’m counting or anything, but…

My Life.

Chaotic.  That’s the theme for this week’s Thematic Photographic.

The very first thing I though of was doing lunch duty in a junior high school.  Total chaos, especially for the last 10 minutes of it when they’ve all finished their lunch.  Add into the mix a camera and an attempt to take a picture of a group of them and:

there’s always one kid who just has to get in the way. (I blurred the kids in the background, but the kid in the front is blurry in the original, he just jumped into the picture.)

The second thing I thought of was the garage.  see, I’m in the process of cleaning it out.  Which means that it is a real mess right now.

The Gods of the Vegetative State.

That’s what cats are.  They can go from running around the house chasing each other to motionless on the couch in nanoseconds.

written inc.’s theme for this week is “Vegetative”, and here’s my interpretation.

Vegetative in the dish rack.

Vegetative together on the couch.

Vegetative on their chair. – “theirs” because it takes 20 minutes to vacuum all their hair off, so I just leave it for them.

Vegetative alone on the couch.

Vegetative on my backpack, on the dining room table.

Vegetative in a box they broke to get to the
flannel rags Lisa gave me.

Vegetative on my bed.

Vegetative in another box.

Vegetative in a box that’s just a little too small.

“Hey, leave me alone, I was vegetative.”
