I was taken aback upon looking at this because it feels like someone did a high-contrast caricature of me without my knowledge (if you doubt it, see photo on upper right). Got the hair and my spindly little limbs down…
Hanging: you’re doing it wrong.
Files, not piles.
Has anyone been to the Heinz Haunted House? If so, I want to hear everything about it. Ketchup blood everywhere?
Chocolate Covered Strychnine! I wonder if fierce convulsions and eventual asphyxiation due to paralysis of neural pathways would be enough to deter me from something covered in chocolate.
Ten Realms Within the Body (1885). So THIS is what goes on in there. I knew it.
Ma’am, you have a…oh…nevermind.
If he were mine, I’d name him “Fluffy.”
Ah, this piece of street art reminds me of my many evenings spent in the subversive act of reading…my Wild(e) Nights.
YES!
How rare to see a cute piece of street art (this one is by MORA):
A monster I’d like to meet…providing it agrees to stand still long enough for me to read its heads.
You too, sir? What a coincidence.
Yikes. It’s about to get violent.
I seriously hope this is a “brain fog” typo.
“Let go. Be afraid. You all taste so much better when you’re afraid.”
Some pretty sweet skills (no artist credited):
Mmmmm…
I believe this actually comes from a company that makes theatrical hats. Brilliant.
Now, I don’t mean to undermine someone’s “art,” but if this scrap of paper sold for $500, I picked the wrong field when I decided to study medicine.

“no artist credited” is one of the many versions of “Salome” by Gustave Moreau, one of the great 19th-century Symbolists.
Thank you so much! It always delights me when people supply the information I don’t have. 🙂
That fellow who dreams of making the world safe for motorcycle gangs was far and away the best part of my day today.
He’s a pillar of the community…a hero, really.
“Got the hair and my spindly little limbs down…”
And your impeccable taste in accessories apparently…
“Ma’am, you have a…oh…nevermind.”
Cat in the Hat…Hat in the…is the Cat…Puss in…I can’t decipher this, just disturbs me any way I look at it… 😉
“A monster I’d like to meet…providing it agrees to stand still long enough for me to read its heads.”
I’d start with the yellow, it seems the friendliest book head but the again maybe red…no horns…
Thanks for the post 🙂
It’s so rare that I get to hear the phrase “It seems like the friendliest book head.” Moments like this keep me blogging!
Lol happy to oblige m’lady!
*bows deeply*

Hahahaah! That image is going on my last will and testament.
I’m completely cracking up at the thought of a last will containing a diagram for this particular arrangement. Make certain to write that it is absolutely NON-NEGOTIABLE.
As always, loving your goodies! Yes! The one at the top is adorable you! I need to remember to order that memory test! I keep forgetting! Next time I take Strychnine, they are going to be the chocolate ones for sure! Death from chocolate…oh, yes! ‘Ten Realms Within the Body’, now I know. No more questions! 😉
I really tried to figure out ANY conceivable use for chocolate strychnine. I was under the impression that it could be used as rat poison, but rats are not particularly known to be chocolate connoisseurs. It may just be a creation for one’s human enemies!
Says Wikipedia:
“…it was widely used in medicine before World War II…
… In low dosages, strychnine can act as a stimulant and has been used by athletes to enhance their performance. Strychnine made headlines back in 1904 during the St. Louis Olympics (when the winner used it)…
…In the Indian Unani system of medicine, “hudar” is a mixture containing Strychnos nux-vomica and used to elevate blood pressure…
…has not been proven effective for the treatment of any illness…conventional doctors do not recommend it as a medicine.”
