An Addendum to the Snot Post
| July 28, 2006 | Posted by thatgrrl under Uncategorized |
Skye mentioned that my snot theory really did explain a lot. She considered the loss of snot/ brain matter to be a cause of senility. I agree, it’s another element to the whole snot thing which I hadn’t even thought of.
But, one thing I did think of is nose picking. If you tell your children they aren’t merely picking snot out of their nose but in fact, are removing brain cells, I bet you could really make progress in training children not to pick. Or at least, not to dig too deeply.
In the end we could have a whole generation of non-pickers.
Would that be a good thing? After all, what does it really matter if you remove snot once it’s already dripped down that far. It’s not like you’re going to try putting it back. I have never seen someone putting snot back up their nose. Well, I have seen people who would rather snort it back up than blow it out into a tissue. So, maybe they are the real geniuses among us. Those snot snorters have known all along, don’t blow your snot away.
Well, has that blown your mind? Get a few tissues, preserve it. Maybe you can snort it back up later. I’d hate to think I could be the cause of early senility. After all, I don’t have many readers and you all need to keep at least enough snot in your head to keep coming back here. You don’t actually need to read once you’re here. Though that would be nice. If you can suck up enough snot to comment that would be great. That’s how I know I’m not just talking to myself.
Good night. Remember, keep your snot!

Tonya Kay – Performing artist.
Fire poi/ spinning, bull whip, flag dance, stilt dance and aerial stuntwork. She’s into raw foods and organic living. Even her car runs on organic fuel. Her blog is quite a read too.
We just saw her on that American TV show about ‘you think you’ve got talent’ something like that. She was part of a group called Stilt World.

Do you ever wonder where all that snot comes from? I mean, the human head isn’t big enough to hold that much snot I’m sure of it. Maybe we’ve been wrong all these years and the human brain isn’t grey matter at all, it’s all yellow and slimy stuff that occasionally drips and flows out of our nose when we’ve been thinking too much. Or maybe I’ve just gotten too darn clever and all of this leakage is just overflow. Sparing my brain from knowing too much and getting shot in some brain gangster movie.
Anyway, today I have allergies. How much brain matter can I lose before I forget how to type?
It Came from a Tool Site

Tools are a powerful symbol of creativity – the first expression of human cognition, tools represent mankind’s ability to progress, to better ourselves, to make the world a better place.
They have a special significance to human society — tools are one of the primary means by which we distinguish ourselves from other animals. Tools are the father of all other antiques. Master paintings, the great statues, the finest pottery, the most decorative furniture, the most colorful tapestries — all of these would have been nothing more than someone’s fleeting idea without the tools needed to create them. Every manmade object depended on the use of tools for its existence, and mankind’s greatest intelligence is reserved for the creation of ever newer and better tools to solve the production problems of the day.
Closely examine a tool, and you will likely discover the essence of its function distilled into the simplest possible form. Yet often, these fascinating objects are themselves highly decorative and possess graphic and colorful forms. On the pages of this web site, you’ll be able to view many of America’s most beautiful, rare, and collectible patented antique tools. I invite you to peruse these pages and see for yourself the artistic and inventive spirit imbued within these symbols of creativity.

She writes about cycling and scootering. I was thinking about getting a scooter now that I don’t have a car. It wouldn’t be too bad in the city, make it easier to get groceries, maybe. Could be a pain to make sure it’s not stolen and carrying groceries in a backpack on my back might not be a great improvement – it also would be harder to drive around loaded down.
Still, all the sites I’ve seen about women and scooters make it look like a lot of fun. I could stick to the TTC for groceries and just scooter around for fun and adventuring.
Have you ever tried a scooter?

Still not moved. Just keeping track, score, or other.
Why did I stay up all night tonight? To make sure I put out the garbage early enough this morning. I waited till it was light enough so I could see skunks and other creatures who co-habitate in the area. Skunks, raccoons and possums aren’t just in the city.
Now, it’s nearly 8:30 and my brain is shutting down and though the garbage is out there on time (an hour early even) the garbage people have not come to pick it up.
Why are they on time on the days I don’t get it out there by 7:00am. How do they know which days I’m late and which days I’m early. It’s really not polite of them, at all.
Good Morning. I’m going to nap. Some days it’s good to be unemployed (I mean freelancing).

Apparently he had a thing for women who dressed a certain way.
I wonder if they both came to the memorial and wore the same dress.
