THE SIGN OF A TRUE ARTIST

I’ve been trying to get a photograph of this for ages …..

……. and only by indulging in what can only be described as ‘Solitaire Twister’ I have finally managed it. It’s a tad out of focus but that’s probably just as well.

The true artist will go to any lengths to achieve the desired effect with no regard to personal discomfort …….. a harsh fact for some to swallow.

I am now going to attempt a front view ….. I hope you won’t be disappointed if I fail.

Dear Avid Readers, DON’T think about it (btw – is that a spot?) – dive into these instead.  Lo,TG Ed

Winnie-the-Pooh, commonly shortened to Pooh Bear and once referred to as Edward Bear, is a fictional bear created by A. A. Milne. The first collection of stories about the character was the book Winnie-the-Pooh (1926), and this was followed by The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included a poem about the bear in the children’s verse book When We Were Very Young (1924) and many more in Now We Are Six (1927). All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.

    Maybe you should get more sun. :-)

    And I just love Winnie the Pooh stories. Lovable creatures, he and his friends.

    I’ve heard there are folk who can’t tell there a**e from their elbow….

    daddyp replied:

    I haven’t got an axle …… and least I don’t think I have …… I’ll have a look …..

    I was trying to be ladylike. Obviously failed miserably. Arse.

    Mark Pirro’s “Rectuma” was my favorite film discovery of last year. It’s full of shots like that, only his bent knee is hairier.

    After following Lo,TG’s clues I think that photo is of a baby Heffalump trunk………….. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heffalump

    daddyp replied:

    I don’t like that Wikipedia definition – it says that heffalumps are fictional which is clearly nonsense!!!

    And of course Diane is right, I also don’t know my a^>v from my elbow…………

    daddyp replied:

    Oh, you’re talking about your apse aren’t you? Very easy to confuse with elbows …….

    is that the loch ness monster?

    daddyp replied:

    Now you’ve got me thinking Nooter ….. ‘out of the mouths of dogs’ as my mother used to say ……

    Oh that. Being related to Mr. Frac and all… you and he bear a certain resemblance, so I’m sure I’ve seen that before. I think I’ll take up the TG on her suggestion then. Such a wise woman she is.

    daddyp replied:

    She offers excellent diversions …… as I’m sure Mr Fracarse does ……….

    fracas replied:

    Hardly. Whenever he grows weary of me (which is, of course, almost never…) he seems to hand over his laptop and suggest I visit that fraccing boxhead on the internet. It’s a good thing I don’t wait for him to grow tired of me to give myself a reason to get online. Heavens… that way, no one would ever see me again!

    daddyp replied:

    My admiration for Mr Fraccy knows no bounds ……. marvellous chap ……

    Must be hard to take a picture of your elbow like that? Can’t even think what the full frontal will be like… eek

    70steen replied:

    arggggggghhhh I wish I hadn’t seen this comment I was just off to bed… I think I will have some cheese to give me some better nightmares ;-)

    fracas replied:

    Oh no… don’t be having nightmares. Goodness, our daily lives offer enough of that, we fraccy women deserve to sleep like angels.

    70steen replied:

    to sleep like an angel just now is a dream.. it is sooo humid here .. us Brits (particularly those living in land ) are just not used to it :-) x

    fracas replied:

    We had one summer like that two years ago and we broke down and had air conditioning installed for the entire house. It was so humid for so many days in a row here that the carpets even felt damp. We’re not used to that here in SK either, usually our heat is a drier, more “oh, drought is normal here” type of heat that actually is easier to take than humidity and heat together.

    I’ll think cool thoughts for you sis!

    daddyp replied:

    There’s usually a bit of wind my way …… very refreshing …… tee hee

    @Stinky ….. I suppose I’d better cancel the full frontal on popular demand …… seems a shame though …….

    HAHAHAHA!!! This makes me laugh my elbow off!! Oh and I’m sure Christopher Robin Milne would highly approve of the comments regarding his Dad’s bio… well done.

    daddyp replied:

    That’s made me think ….. life would be very tricky without elbows wouldn’t it? Probably that’s why Winnie the Pooh had to be so philosophical ………

  13. Posted July 3, 2009 at 2:45 pm | Permalink

    Pooh was fictional? Surely not!

    daddyp replied:

    Take no notice Archie ….. it’s a tissue of lies …..
