Get Bent!

I am lucky enough to spend my day around art, good art, inspiring art, art to sooth the soul (not that my soul needs to be soothed but the art is certainly pretty to look at).   I am always on the lookout for something interesting to share.

So today I happened across this interesting site,

 which led me to this interesting site.







Now that is some funny art.  I laughed my tail off.

National Geographic Photos

I suppose just about everybody has heard of National Geographic or at least seen one of their photos.  This is one site you should take the time to visit everyday.  They have an enormous amount of information and you could get sucked into a black hole of lost time and image overload if you aren't careful.

 (Guess what this is)





But did you know they had a photo contest for kids? They must be raising a new crop of photographers for the future.

This one I liked.

But this is my favorite.  How cute is that?

Feelin' Blue?

Not to worry. 

Sometimes the blue can turn into something beautiful.

Keep your head up little darlin' and I promise it will be better.

I Want To Do This!

In the course of a day the studio receives a lot of information about art stuff.  There are art fairs, art festivals, art classes, art exhibits, art shows, art opening and artistic endeavors of all kinds, shapes and sizes.

Some are interesting (some are not) but today I found THE MOST interesting art project. Creatively, it ranks right up there with Project Runway and Destination Imagination.

It is called Mystery Build, and it does cost money, but there are prizes to be had.  More importantly, it is just the just the thing to have fun and get the creative juices flowing.  There is a theme and rules and most important, a deadline.

AND
There is a project just for kids.

Their website also has a page of art information that is worth a visit.

I especially like this piece by Paul Hill. 






Now I just have to figure out how to get my paws to create some art.

Super Bowl?

When I think of the words Super and Bowl in the same sentence I think of food.  I think about dog type food, bones, meat, crunchy dog food and treats.



However, I hear there is something going on tomorrow called the "Super Bowl" and though great quantities of food will be consumed I guess it is really all about a game called football.  To tell you the truth, I don't know all that much about football.  In fact, I had to use Google to find out which two teams would be playing tomorrow.

In case you didn't know, they are New England Patriots

and New York Giants

and they will be playing their game in Indianapolis, Indiana.



Don't ask me, I don't know why two east coast teams are traveling to a whole 'nuther part of the US to play but I guess the site of the game is determined a very long time before they know the participants.

Anyway, I came across this article about some school in Baltimore, Maryland where the students were required to wear purple to school in support of the Baltimore Ravens (another football team) at a pep rally or they had to sit in the library.  WELL!  Talk about a misguided decision.  And after all that the Raven's didn't make it to the Super Bowl.

AND THEN
For all those who are really into football (and for those five of us who are not) I found this.  You can tour the stadium without having to drive to Indianapolis or paying $2400 to a scalper for ticket to the game.

AND if you aren't invited to or are having a party and have the need to watch the game I suppose you could go here to watch it.  I am planning on finding that Super Bowl full of dog food.

I suppose  I wouldn't say no to some poppers.

Isn't February Just the Greatest Month?!

First of all just look at that name...the spelling is just off the wall.  It is spelled Feb-ru-ary but pronounced Feb-u-ary.  None of the other months can boast about that.  Did you know that it used to be the last month of the year before it got promoted to the second month?

Then, February is THE month that ends after 28 or 29 days.  All the other months drag on for another two or three days.  The thing about the 29 days only happens every four years which just happens to be this year.  Congratulations it is a Leap Year!

Next are all the really cool happenings and holidays that happen in February.
Ground Hog Day (2nd)
Super Bowl (5th)
Valentine's Day (14th)
Washington's Birthday (22nd)
Lincoln's Birthday (12th)
Mardi Gras (21st)
Ash Wednesday (22nd)
Dump Your Significant Jerk Week (5th through 11th)
Working Naked Day (1st)
Ice Cream For Breakfast Day (4th) 
Curling Is Cool Day (23rd)
Extraterresteral Visitor Day (9th)  no I'm not kidding
Pluto Day (18th)  and as an interesting side note to this Pluto is a Planet Day is celebrated in March.

and my favorite (because my artist, Ronnie who is an SOB, is holding me down, forcing me to type this) February is "Spunky Old Broads" month.

Go enjoy the best month of the year.

Love,
Buddy

Crash The Superbowl

I could get lost in a bag of Doritos.

 I could..... but I won't and I don't because I believe in sensible snacking.

Well, not really.....the truth is I would get lost in a bag of Doritos but I can't open the pantry door and get them off the shelf.


I am not promoting Doritos, and I am not promoting the Super Bowl.  However, I am promoting your total enjoyment of being able to help choose the Doritos commercial for the Super Bowl.

Go to this site, and take a peek at the Finalists then VOTE.  Don't waste time, the day of reckoning is almost here!

Personally, I like the baby sling but there are a couple of commercials with dogs that I have to at least consider. 

Now, I like to be through so I am also including a couple of interesting tid-bits on Doritos.
Can you believe it was an Iron Chef episode?
And if you are interested in making your own (and perhaps healthier) version try this.

Love,
Buddy
Hmmm, I wonder if they would let me take a turn in the sling?

Pick Your Nose

                                                                                    

You can pick your friends,
You can pick your nose,
but.....
You can't pick your friend's nose.










No, I am not (really!) obsessing about bodily functions.
It isn't that I don't have a lot to say about bodily functions, 'cause I do, but that is for another day.


I ran across this website and just had to share 'cause I thought it was awesomely funny.  I do however think that they should do a set with canine noses, or even better animal noses.  How would I look with a rhino nose?

Fart Proudly

Oh come on now, everybody does it!

Now before you start in on me for talking about farts, Fart Proudly is the name of an essay by Benjamin Franklin, so blame him.

But then again, I found some interesting facts about farts and thought I would share, so you can blame me for the rest.

Did you know that termites are the largest producers of farts, so now you can't blame the cows for global warming.

Oh, and then I found this most comprehensive site on farts, I mean this person has really put a lot of time and effort into the subject.


Test your fart knowledge, and find fart jokes. 

Go, have fun, but please, don't send pictures.


Love,
Buddy
