Effigy 101

Okay, this is just getting silly now.

These guys in the East love burning effigies – I get it. But it seems they are running out of quality material, don’t you think (yes, that’s a pic of a drone)?

As a matter of fact, an “Effigy” is strictly defined as “a representation of a person, especially in the form of sculpture or some other three-dimensional form.” Don’t ask me where I got the pic, by the way. I took a screen shot of it on my tablet while reading the news in bed the other night because I found it so silly – but I can’t make this crap up.

From a group of guys who take things so literally, you’d think they’d work more aggressively at recruiting someone who is really good at paper machete or scale model design.

Made my Day

So Gavin is pretty head-long into Steam, which is a gaming app/community. He can download games, I can gift him games (when he does chores, he gets points from me. Points translate to new games), I can track his usage, etc. Oh … and there is a messaging feature built in, too. Even cooler, I even have the Steam App on my tablet – which I used yesterday while he was playing …

I was pretty excited that my kindergarten son is now messaging with me … pretty cool.

Manson with a Cell Phone?

I did not know this … apparently ol’ Charlie Manson (77 years old), when appealing for release (again), was found to have violated prison terms by being found with a weapon and a cell phone just recently.

Little Einstein

Elyce found this book in my office today. After I saw her eyeing it, I told her I’d give her $100 Cash if she read it in its entirety – it weighs in at 528 pages.

As of tonight, she’s on page 6.

Extremists Lacking Effigy-Building Skills

Okay. Really? This is the best these guys can do with their effigy of Obama?

  • size of head is wrong
  • he’s wearing a tie, with a blue-jean jacket
  • pants clash with the flag
  • at least cut him out so it doesn’t look like you took the picture out of Time Magazine
  • a little effort here, guys!

Background here – these guys are rabid because the Quran was burned. There are actually people dying there as a result of these scenes.

I don’t think I will ever truly understand theism, let alone all the fundamentalists in this world. People can believe what they choose – but this just seems way over the top to me.

Just sayin’.
