p.1 #1 · #290: The dread of the shred that leaves you dead


Mrs. Flibble said I should shred some confidential stuff, lest it fall into the wrong hands. That would be... er... problematic and embarrassing - and not just for the llamas. Now normally I'm good at shredding, but today I forgot to heed the warning of "shred with a tie and you're dead".

It was going great, but just as I reached for the latest stack of llama sex orgy paperwork, my tie flopped into the diamond cut steel grinding gears of the shredder of death.

This is moments before my grizzly end.

Splendid.

Oooh... I just started a blog: www.idrinkleadpaint.com

Stuff:

I had a flash, camera left through an umbrella, deliberately set quite high to give the shot a bit more drama. Wide angle lens was in really close for extra distortion. Wanted a Flibble in the headlights sort of death. Ties were hurt in the making of this photograph.

Well on the upside the llama paperwork survived.
Great shot really made me laugh out loud, so much so my son came over find out, He burst into laughter too. Both of us were laughing until he asked me what is llama sex orgy paperwork He is only 10.
Take care and good luck

It's just as well that the tie has met its timely end. It was due up in court for crimes against humanity.

I want to know what you really do for a living; and if it is not in the entertainment business, why not? I have no idea on how you continue to come up with such unbelievably original responses to these thems. You are a hoot. My only issue is that every time I look to see what the challenge is and see your entry, I just figure why bother.

Exquisitely splendid as usual! I have to tell you... this is this exact look my female koi get when they're being chased by the larger males during spawning season. Which means the glasses are way too sexy on you, as is the wide angle distortion...but only to male koi. Whew., Therefore, I think you're safe as long as you stay away from ponds and fish tanks.

Hi Fibble,

Amazing and completely offbeat shot. You must have the largest collection of unusual glasses as anyone on the planet. The star glasses two weeks ago and now these. The lighting is terrific and the expression is even better. Great shot. Good luck this week.

I've asked Will and he says he's not prepared to swallow any of my pills. Not even the brocolli flavoured ones. He did however say he'd have a go at swallowing my camera - which is ace cos I'd love to see in pictures the path my food takes... er... but I'll probably delete the last few.

So assuming that's still ok, I'll get him to do that and send him over.

Splendid.

Yup, probably not best to dwell on the paperwork details. They're mostly final demands from the Inflatable animals R us's finance department. And for the record, I'm disputing their policy of "complete satisfaction with the detailing on our animals or your diamonds back" since I've found 47 faults with the ears alone.

Shoddy.

Sadly it's the real deal, or I wouldn't be writing this from inside my coffin. Luckily someone had the foresight to put a laptop in here and who'd have thought that the vicar wouldn't secure his wireless network?

Splendid.

Oh wait... there's no power outlet. Battery is at 13%.

Damn.

A while back I got rid of my entire collection of horrible ties. This, scarily lived through that cull. I hate ties. I'm hoping to get through the rest of my life without having to wear another one. Luckily I work at a place where I can wear a gorilla costume everyday if I really wanted to. Not that I'd do that. Obviously. It needs to be washed occasionally and on those days I wouldn't be able to wear it.

*sobs*

In real life I design software. Can't write code for toffee, but I'm good at drawing pictures of what I want it to look like. More specifically, I design the user experience - making it as easy to use as possible. It pays the bills.

Splendid.
