SGM Extravaganza!

The Continuing Misfortunes of Simple Graphics Man ~

The last time we saw SGM he was in dangerous circumstances on the edge of The Precipitous Precipice where predictably enough, things didn’t go well for him:

#11: The Painful Plunge.*

SGM Fall

Nevertheless, after the dramatic Air/Sea rescue and a few months in hospital recovering from the arm transplant, he was up and about again and ready for a trip to Mainz with his new friend.† Sadly, the holiday was ruined when each of them contracted a urinary tract infection from hanging on too long (well that’s how he says they got it anyway):

#12: The Worrisome Wait.‡

SGM Hold On!

If that wasn’t bad enough, on the plane on the way home the oxygen masks failed to pop out when the plane depressurized, and to make matters worse, thousands of bees escaped into the cabin at that exact moment:

#13: The Absent Air (including the Berserk Bees).‡‡

SGM Airless

Could things get much more dire for Simple Graphics Man?

Indubitably.

Spam Observations #27

My pal Tony wrote to me this morning asking me the question:

has your energy level been down newly or still jaded all the time? I indubitably am, that is why i am radiant i came upon

Now this is obviously someone who has not learned their English as a first language, but this begs the question, where exactly have these annoying pests learned to write like this?

Look at those words: ‘jaded’?; ‘radiant’; ‘indubitably‘?

From Daffy Duck cartoons, perhaps? That would explain an awful lot.

Eros Bit

You know, it’s quite remarkable. I make posts about science, art, philosophy and religion and get a smattering of comment and a trickle of visitors. But one picture of a scantily-clad girl sticking her fist up a cow’s bum and my visitor rate doubles and my comments spike.

And over at Perpetual Ocean my Eros ex Mathematica images account for nearly 45% of the site traffic and now have racked up over 3 million hits.

Let there be no doubt about the subject that still drives the internet.

The Cattle are Lowing…

Whoa Nelly!

Sister Veronica has some kooky idea that we need to start getting the barn ready for the Christmas Nativity Scene.

I don’t quite know what she has in mind, but the cows seem to be making an awful lot of noise.*

Warning: NSFW (unless maybe you are a vet).

*The explanatory notes for Brigitte Niedermair’s ‘Holy Cow’ are here. Personally, the artistic statement sounds to me like a big steaming heap of bullshit.

Thanks (I think) to jedimacfan for sending me to this image that will probably stick in my head all day.

23 Occurrences of the Number 23

Radioactive Jam was recently detailing his exploits concerning a certain number, and it brought to mind my ongoing entanglement with #23. Wherever I go 23 haunts me. Now it can haunt you too.
