Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for September 14, 2011

If I had a choice, I think I’d go with death by phaser.

That’s the same thing Sadam Hussien said too.

Sure thing partner..after I pull this lever.

Hang in there I’ll be right back.

Nice background effect Thom!

Let me just streach the rope a bit. A snugger fit will solve your problem.

“…and I apologize for beating you at hangman…”

The reason it chafes is it’s one loop short and on the wrong side of the neck…

“Oh, it’s no bother,” the hood winked….☻Where are you ML and Sir Lew?!? ..☺

There are faces in the out of focus background. Besides the ones on spectators, that is. And one of those spectators looks kinda like a clown to me.The out of focus backgrounds I’ve been noticing here lately started me wondering whether paintings had out of focus backgrounds before photography or at least the Camera Obscura’s invention. I haven’t figured out a google search yet that will give me too many other results to sort through.

That hooded man must have one heck of a schnoz.

Yes—we miss our MT Lady. This rope party would be right at home up in her neck of the country.

Don’t worry, fellow. If he does it right, that old rope won’t chafe at all in about a minute or two.

But I notice a face on the top of his hair inspecting the upper noose loops.

boot hill ends all such complaints

I see faces EVERYWHERE! Especially in the background! :-D

Good delay tactic.

Next time you are going to be hanged you should consider wearing a turtleneck shirt.

Or is it hung?

I’ll bet he would complain if he was hung with a new rope!

Hi, Everybody!!!!!I’m home, and feeling fantastic! Thank you all for your prayers and support! The good news is they got all the cancer! And, they didn’t see any cancer in the lymph nodes, which means either no chemo or just a pill or something!!! Woo Hoo!!!!.Not sure how often I’ll be able to check in for the next day or so, I’m still weak and woosey from the pain pills, but gosh……….I’ll NOT complain a bit!!!

Oh don’t you believe her…she hasn’t stopped complaining since she got home! :)

Welcome back ML. Praise God for his love and healing.

WONDERFUL TO HEAR MONTANA LADY! Glad all went well for you!

Shika, Allan was just picking, in a nice way. :-) Thanks for the compliment, though!

@Montana Lady…great news! Such a relief when the doctor comes in with the happy news…I know! Take time to rest you need it!

Funny…but seriously, during the hanging for the conspirators in Abe Lincoln’s murder, one of convicted told the executioner that the strap around the hands was uncomfortable, the executioner replied “don’t worry, it won’t last very long”…look it up, it’s on Wikipedia

I’m so happy you’re recovering well. Prayers DO get answered!!

I know you’ll take good care of her, MD! :D

♪Mr. Hangman, bring me a dream

♪Make it the smoothest noose I’ve ever seen

♪With soft caresses like satin or clover

♪Then tell me my nightmares will soon be over!♪
