I love this kind of dry visual humor, and there's a whole site of them!



I have also admired the ones Dorothy Gambrell of Cat and Girl puts up at very small array.

Nephew: No. We have two.

Me: Two computers is a lot.

Nephew: No it's not.

Me: Some people don't have any computers.

Nephew: Then how do they order stuff?

Your mom's sunset valley has a 14' gas-powered pole pruner that rents
for $35 for 4 hours or $50 for 24 hours.

Mr. Steve and his Magical Sewing Machine

mood: sew what

I meant to repost this randomness earlier:



He travels the world, and he always looks keen
Mr. Steve and his Magical Sewing Machine

he teleports in and he teleports out
he's what all the seamstresses are talking about

Don't shed a tear for that tear in the sleeve that you tore
Mr. Steve will help, then he'll help you some more

"My Prom is ruined, I can't dance in this mess!"
"Oh baby, let me help you out of that dress!"

That UPS man, his shorts are too short!
Mr. Steve to the rescue knits it into a skort!

...

He travels the world, but he's knot what he seams
Mr. Steve and his Magical Sewing Machine

A group of people should get dressed up in the right colors or color combinations, go to that bookstore in San Francisco where that guy did the performance art of organizing it by color, and hang out around the part of the bookstore that you match.

Jorge Luis of Borges
Borges, wearing borg headgear like he was born with it

We are the Borges.
Lower your shields, and surrender your mind.
We will appropriate your language and literature
and add their distinctiveness to our own.
Your reality will adapt to service ours.
Resistance is fertile.

Philosophy is perplexity;
Thought is conjecture;
Poetry is the deepest form of rationality.
You must comply.

Time is irrelevant.
Death is irrelevant.
Your rational faculties
are unable to withstand us.

Resistance is fertile.
There is no intellectual exercise which is not ultimately useless.
Reality may avoid the obligation to be interesting, but hypothesis may not.

an old black-and-white photo of borges. with Borg headgear and shoulder accessories. Borges in full Vegas Borg attire.
el ultraĆ­smo

[borges! what are you doing! look at the camera!
how am i supposed to assimilate you if you keep grinning like that? hey!]



References

To talk closely to Jorge Luis Borges is to track him through a labyrinth of his pasts experiences and attitudes, and the walls that one encounters in the search might be painted in unexpected ways. These may furnish clues or merely diversions in the pursuit, but to understand Borges at least partially is to realize that these clues and diversions are the Borges. We must not expect to find Borges the same each time. There is not one Borges, but many.

- From the introduction to an interview in the Artful Dodge on April 25, 1980.

In contrast to his scholarship in Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist sources, Borges' understanding of Hinduism seems largely through a sympathetic lens provided by Rudyard Kipling, as in "The Approach to Al Mutasim". And the Book of Imaginary Beings weighs in heavily on fantastic beings from the mythologies of Europe but hardly at all from East Asia. Nevertheless, had blindness not handicapped his scholarship, no one can say what further languages and literatures he might have assimilated.

- Wikipedia

and many, many more, perhaps later...
