A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words Except Here, Where It’s Mute
In a wee while I’m going to be practicing Doing Pictures, so this is it for a post today. And by practicing I mean learning from scratch by pulling from my pooter knowledge-base, the length and breadth of which is ridiculed by anyone who can find it to point and laugh at.
I’m not very good at Doing Pictures and apparently Wordpress has a few wee laser-beam trip-wires for me to bend PCB through before it will work. So if you’re happening by, later today, don’t be surprised to see half a picture pop up and then disappear. Or odd images colliding and fusing. If, for example, you were to see pictures of a naked Trotskyite getting some cold and flu medicine from a Professor of Applied Bandages, or Jemima Puddle-Duck in drag nicking the fois-gras sandwiches from a Care Bears lunch-box at a pro-life rally, then rest assured, the Naked Trotskyite one was accidental.
I’ve got a flame-proof suit, a cup of tea and a shot of raw, blind optimism, and I’m ready for Doing Pictures.
Today’s post brought to you by the letters I and N, and E and P and T

Professor of Applied Bandages sounds like a silly man in a white coat.
I’d rather see a Professor of Applied Manure (farmer) or a Professor of Applied Narcotics (hippy). Once you promise pictures, you create expectations.

How ’bout a Professor of Applied Applications, or an Associate of Applied Lotions (cosmetics girl at Macy’s) or a Professor of Applied for Positions , or even a Professor of (Just) Positions (think that might turn out to be a job in the San Fernando Valley porn industry).
Pictures there will be. But maybe not quickly.

I SAW IT! I SAW IT!
….no, I think it was a floaty.

I don’t know who Jemima Puddle-Duck is, but would love to see a picture of her. Or anybody naked (well, almost any body, do we get to pick whos?)

I was always into Mrs Tiggy-Winkle myself…

Easy way to do pictures.
Sign up for Flickr, upload pictures to Flickr, go to Flickr and use the BlogThis button above the picture to send a small version of the picture to your blog.

Hello Mr. Binty Mcshae. Thanks for visiting me. As an appreciator of Mrs. Tiggywinkle, you may be interested to learn that there is a Mrs. Tiggywinkle Society dedicated to preserving the Great British hedgehog. It’s been most active lately, in the Outer Hebrides, where I’m from, where a cull has been ordered on the descendants of some school pet hedgehogs who are now eating all the wild bird eggs on the moor. School-children mercenaries have been recruited by the Mrs Tiggywinkle Society to capture them live for transport back to the mainland. They learn Some Tough Environmental Lessons but, more importantly get 20 quid a hedgehog! (http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=372&id=1419352002). For 20 quid, as a child, I might have been tempted to take out Mrs. Tiggywinkle herself, and whowever was the slowest of Flopsy Mopsy and Cottontail.
Anyway, pleased to make your aquaintance.

Thanks Gordon! Will look into the Flickr thing tomorrow. I had some moderate success here, practicing last night with random pictures of fields but deleted them because they were fields that had really nothing to do with me and I had no business putting them on my site. And I didn’t want to either.
Joe – Jemima Puddle-Duck is a Beatrix Potter character but she is very proper of duck and not the sort to take her feathers and bonnet off for anyone. However, she does do drag on Thursdays.
