Thanx. Hopefully some will find it funnier and less disturbing than . . .

Dr. Henry Young was a logician, physicist, and professor of symbology. He wound up studying sorcery until he found that he could not only ‘shift’ blazes from trails to misguide hikers, he could make them CHASE the hikers, sometimes even hit them, cut them, etc. Currently believed at large in equatorial Africa.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

You weren’t kidding.
What’s the white thing at the front meant to be btw?

I honestly chuckled

Judging by the context I’d say it’s a weighing scale …

Scale’s a good guess, but I’d have put a readout on it. That was a failed attempt at the sink in front of the mirror the shot was taken in. I guess I should have made a shade difference between the spigot and the drain. Live and learn.

Glad you enjoyed it Stulte–you from northern Europe?

Yeah, I really enjoy your work, this gallery is just bursting with creativity.
You are correct. I’m Swedish, though I don’t live there at the moment. Why do you ask?

[Herr D]

I’ve noticed certain geographical tendencies. People from Germany and northern Europe seem to like my sense of humor the most out of people below fifty years old. People who are poor liked my paintings the most. Rich people tended to like my carvings and crafts more. Most of my writings appeal to a smattering of all ages depending on subject and focus and content. Not so predictable.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot to try to get employment–most jobs I’ve gotten had nothing to do with what I could DO, but how well the interviewer liked me. It’s a shame I don’t know any northern European college-age females opening third shift companies in my area. I might get rich quickly.

Well, we tend to be a pun-loving sort. Hell, that’s one of the reasons I enjoy Shakespeare so much. The man could cram a pun into any situation and still make it work. But I digress.

I enjoy your writing as well, though I don’t always fully understand it. That is to say; you use the language in such innovative and unexpected ways that to me – who doesn’t speak English that well – I have a hard time following your twists and turns at times. It’s always a blast to read, though, don’t get me wrong.

[Trekkie]

Uuugh, that was a terrible pun. I commend you for creating a whole picture to go with it.

[Herr D]

@Stulte: Wow. Thanx, Stulte. Occasionally my ‘portmanteau’ words baffle native Americans too, though.
You like the Bard? Iambic pentameter isn’t so natural for me as variable tetrameter. Like:

I literally have been a pro at prose.
An artist sees stars when he blows his nose.
He mimics them in blacks and whites,
And shows their color through words he writes.

I know most people will say that a handicap is when someone can’t do something as well. I happen to know that doing things well enough to inspire jealousy can be very unpleasant when one has the wrong ‘social handicap’ (too slow to read the signs of jealousy coming.) For example, imagine two men meeting in a public place too loud to speak and be heard. They begin to interact quietly and in a friendly manner. The instant one of them begins to speak, however, things go very, very wrong.

I titled this picture “Ch-” for the sound spoken.

My favorite brand of celebrity-endorsed luggage is the Natalie Portmanteau.

Another pun brought to you by the letter Herr!

[Herr D]

Thank you all for your kind words and horrible puns.
I’ve reflected today on how organized and sensibly organizations tend to be run. The result is my next creation. A furred, smiling, Seussian worm.
