To Whomsoever This Matter May Concern (I always address my letters to faceless bureaucrats from acronym-encrusted governmental agencies, utilities companies, financial institutions and other powerful and legally untouchable entities which make a great deal of money without any individual Human Being "working" there actually taking on any responsibility): [ahem]
Sometimes you just have to play. This Picassa program is just what I've needed...I can now extract other people's images (completely out of context), and insert or superimpose my own clever captions. While some would regard such tomfoolery as wasteful, I believe it to be a special form of occupational therapy for overly-pressured, otherwise chronically-responsible people like myself.
There was a social movement (as opposed to the other kind) some years ago to consider graffiti an art form. The movement, lamentably, failed. If you were a teenager back then, getting a can of spraypaint at a store became almost as much of a challenge as it has become to buy a decongestant or expectorant today -- You have to have a valid driver's license and undergo a retinal scan in order to purchase and operate nasal spray in many jurisdictions -- but, I digress.
The point is that beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, and one person's spam may be another person's epiphany. Judge ye not, lest ye be judged, verily I say unto ye!
Here's one that I created just a few days ago. I've even titled it. C'mon. Look! (if you're getting this by email or RSS, you might want to look at the actual blog posting) ---
"Conventional treatment having failed him, he was beguiled by other, far more dangerous options..."
Labels, Tags, Key Words and Robotic Search Engine Nonsense: Art forms, multilingual spam, judgment, recreation, occupational therapy, things that I could never make a living doing, TNNWC, seduction, Picassa, art imitates spam (and vice-versa), tomfoolery, TNNW Survey #6, things that you forget about in the back of the refrigerator which go bad, TV remotes lodged in couches, having a sense of humor doesn't impair your ability to be competent, not having a sense of humor can impair your competence if you have chosen to become a comedian, ways to put off doing household chores, telomeres, Tea Party, Coffee Party, Ovaltine Parties, pantry raids, why people enjoy pouring salt on garden slugs, blogs, The Sloganator, The Connectrix, navigating the Loop of Henle, lederhosen, Goldman Sachs, Adolf Sax, the battle of the saxes, having to get back to work...
