Throw Absurdity back into the face of Absurdity! Go Absurd!

Opening Absurdity

“Throw it into the party juice”, all the mothers did not say, as they scampered up to fetch a pale of vinegar and water. But the Dad’s absconded from corporate reality and fetched it all instead. The horse was grey

Quote of the Day

“Accepting the absurdity of everything around us is one step, a necessary experience: it should not become a dead end. It arouses a revolt that can become fruitful” (Albert Camus)

An Absurd World…

After spending more than 35 years in prison for stealing $50.75 from a bakery, Alvin Kennard, who was just 22 years old at the time of the robbery, is finally coming home.

A previous minor crime combined with a hardline three strikes law in Alabama saw Kennard earn the life sentence. While others married, had children, ate ice-cream while strolling through a park, swam at the beach… Kennard was left in a cell for over 35 years to reflect on his ‘heinous’ crime…


Yet More Absurdity…

Take the IV out of CARNIVAL and you get CARNAL

Happiness is on the Outside…

From The Great Man Edward Lear

There was a Young Person of Janina,
Whose uncle was always a-fanning her;
When he fanned off her head,
She smiled sweetly and said,
‘You propitious Old Person of Janina!’

(From the book: Complete Nonsense)

Introducing the Registration Plate Acronym Game!

When next gazing at a vehicle’s registration plates, as you do, why not make it into a game for the whole family to enjoy! Just use the letters and numbers on the registration plates to make fun fun fun fun words. For example, DW SN could turn into Down With Slippery Nipples.
You’re Welcome!

Remember

Absurd responsibly. The Buddhist no harm principle applies here. Do not harm yourself or others when going absurd. (Maybe what I have just written is absurd?)
