Eventually, birthday/holiday acknowledgments will move to the sign-off...
While I thought I would have to apologize for the weakness of yesterday's post, many of you were quite taken with the mooo-ving story of bovine motherhood. One reader thought it akin to Sophie's Choice, but was compelled to make her own choice of a cheeseburger for lunch. Another suggested that she was perhaps going "Undercower," though I would have preferred "Uddercover Mother" or "World's Greatest Mooooo-m" as a pun-laden title.
I am going to be editing specific names out to keep blog posts more general...
Now, to business. First off, the twice promised, now delivered Oddly Colored Animals! The show, of course, starts with a critter from the coastal depths of New Hampshire, the elusive blue lobster. Love that they thought it was a blue soda can... But it wasn't a blue soda can... It was a blue (soda can) lobster! (Because who doesn't love a B-52s joke in the early morning?) And how about that all black penguin? Pretty snazzy. You know what else is snazzy? Because I feel bad about promising these odd animals twice, I'm going to throw in even more oddly colored animals! Mostly because I think that all white peacock is awesome... Straight out of a coloring book! Also, please resist the temptation to keep browsing around for cute critters on that site, as I have a feeling it will become a frequently visited place for the Report.
Next up, some Photoshop Fun with Barack Obama! (Seriously, how much would you pay for a Photoshop tutorial with the President?!) Baroque Obama is a classic, but my favorite on this page is the snowball toss in #15. Mostly on account of it takes place outside of my favorite soup and sandwich restaurant in downtown Exeter, NH, "The Loaf and Ladle." So much local interest today! And, just like last Friday's edition (when we had a readership of only three!), the final item in the list features an unanticipated, inexplicable CORGI!
(Obama's Space-Corgi is now a fan-favorite Report Image.)
Finally, we'll close out the week with a story of an inexplicable odor found in my copy of the "Express" this morning.** Seems that a group of artists in Australia have developed "Air Aroma," a new perfume that smells... wait for it... like a freshly opened Apple product. No, not the fruit, the computer. Seriously, bizarre. And while someone on this list would no doubt make it his fragrance of choice, it is tragically not available for purchase.
*Clint, of course, being the brother of Ron "Opie/Richie Cunningham/Arrested Development Narrator" Howard. AD fans will remember him as the lovable Johnny Bark, who taught us all why you never get out of the tree.
**The story was found in the "Express." Not the odor.
