Ken of Ken Armstrong fame wrote in the forum the other day how he’s seeing a plethora of capcha words that seem to actually BE words. And worse, that strung together they are sending him some kind of message!
That brought to mind a situation that I seem to live with on a daily basis where my own mind/imagination is concerned.
I will be going along minding my own business when out of the corner of my eye, I’ll see something that makes me do a double take.
No, it’s not (usually) something nefarious or scandalous going on, but rather I’ll see a word on a package or sign that my mind interprets in it’s foggy manner as something entirely different than what reality shows it to be.
“Drink Billy Beer” becomes “Billy Goat Beards” or “Triclear Cures Acne” becomes “Nuclear Coalition” or something like that. You know…c’mon you know you do the same thing!
Sometimes this even happens when I’m reading someones blog post. I was reading The Wise Young Mommy yesterday, and I could have SWORN she said she went to a sex toy party! Surely that was “TUPPERWARE Party” or “Mary Kay party”. Oh wait! She DID go to a sex toy party and has PHOTOS of the party toys, etc. Oh dear! My eyes! MY EYES! I’ll never be the same again! Was that a GREEN DILDO??
Gosh! The things you young people do these days! Despite growing up in the time of free love, we never did sex toy parties (no, we opted for the real thing and had love ins)!
Peace

I am not scarred for life….At first I thought that sex toy was some new deadly virus with the colored coils of DNA running through it. Then I saw what it really it was. GASP! Your eyes, you say. Well what about mine?

That should read: I am NOW scarred for life, not I am NOT scarred for life.

In the little while that I have been visiting your blog I have never been sure just what you will have to offer each time. There always seems to be something different. Like so many of your other posts, this was funny. I am sure this one will get a lot of attention.
Lyndi´s last blog post..I love your blog award
i happened to sneaked the blog of the wise mommy yesterday also..im in the mids of 30′s and don’t get me wrong, i’d never had attended “toy party” neither read-watch “pornography” but i am open to that however i can’t seems to take first, playing that kind of stuff…i guess for me it’s a sacred between the couple..or i dont know…heheh

Me, sex-toys and green what-alreadys?? Jees.
It’s a scientific fact that we see different things in our peripheral vision. Look at the night sky out of the corner of your eye for instance (yes, that big eye of yours) you will see many more stars than if you look straight up and you will catch more falling stars too (whether you choose ‘to put ‘em in your pocket is up to you) (and if you understand that reference, you too are getting old).
So what has all this to do with your post?
Very little, really, I’m just trying to get that upstanding thingie out of the corner of my eye.

Hahahahahahaha!! The worst part of this is that I’ve been to a sex toy party in the past week as well. Seems like the new thing these days. (And don’t knock it till you try it, trust me
)

Actually, what I saw from the corner of my eye (with this post) was real. Ken Armstrong and sex toys. Interesting pairing – Ken Armstrong as a sex toy?
Sorry. I’m in one of those moods.

Ew! I was going to try to imagine what a sex toy party was, but I didn’t like where that was going at all. Just . . . ew!
Carol´s last blog post..Thursday 13 #83
@Matt — I feel your pain! REALLY!
@Lyndi — maybe that’s what brings people back…that surprise factor
@Glorie — I generally like her blog a lot. She gets lots of smiles from me at the cute things her kids do. This was way out in left field and I didn’t see it coming!
@Ken — did you know it’s a scientific fact that when faced with things that embarrass us, we wax scientific?
@Arkwife — Oh, I’m not KNOCKING it! I hope I have an open enough mind to not KNOCK sex!
@Ellie — there goes my imagination again… STOP THAT!
@Carol — Just go check out Mommy’s website and you’ll see. It was different, but not all that “ewww”.

I only get scientific when I am confronted with *wax* things that embarrass me.
But no, actually, you make an astute point, just don’t… point it at me
