Over Trying? Go Absurd!

Opening Absurdity

Spending an Abstract Summer in Winter’s large purse at the vibrating shopping mall with millions of lives conscripted to ‘hit the ground running!’
Or
‘A penny for your thoughts?’

Quote of the Day

“All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.”
(Albert Camus) 

An Absurd World…

A 72-year old grandmother from the UK has been fired after just one day in her role as ‘Mother Christmas’ for apparently not being festive or theatrical enough.

"I am upset and have lost a bit of confidence as I still don’t know what I’ve done wrong.”

Lots of Bob…

Mrs Bob liked to Bob with Bob especially on Bob

A Wise and Foolish Saying That Will Probably Not Catch On…

The biggest man in the world is also the smallest

Book Title You Will Probably Never See…

Is the Room Dark? Or, Am I a Pedagogical Torch With Wings?

Something to Wear

Poverty Absurd Light Steel T-Shirt Front 


A Possibly Wise, Possibly Foolish Question…

Is it better to wear a strait jacket to the lounge room or to the living room?

The Meaning of Life?

Parasol Injunctions

Said No One, Probably Ever…

“There would be no world, no life, no happiness, no meaning, no etcetera, without paper work and OH&S”

A Statistic That Probably Never Was or Will Ever Be…

23% of people last night said they wanted sardine ice-cream and basil on toast

From The Great Man Eminem (AKA: Marshall Mathers)

I grabbed the last can of chicken tuna
Out the trash can and zoom
I headed straight back to the Neverland Ranch
With a peanut butter, jelly, chicken, tuna sandwich
And I ain't even gotta make no god damn sense
I just did a whole song and I didn't say shit
(From the song, Rain Man)


“If the world had any more meaning it would burst!”

Go Absurd! Exercise:

Stand in a public spot and say the following to potential ‘customers’:
“Would you like me to paint a portrait of your pet dog Mildred for only $5.99 including, but wait, there’s more, a set of kitchen steak knives?”

A Sign You Will Probably Never See…


I’M
A
DO-BADDER

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?)
