Guitar body clamped in a vise, hand-held drill with an absurdly long drill bit making a very oblique hole in the middle of the body
I've been working on this for a couple of weeks now, and getting into the home stretch. This is from last night, drilling the last of the relatively dicey holes that it needs for electric connections. I got that ridiculous drill bit at an estate sale earlier this summer for $2 - i was planning to start this project, and i grabbed the bit as soon as i saw it, knowing i'd need it for this.
(ignore all the dimples in the neck pocket: they aren't holes, just centers from a forstner bit used to open up most of that space)
I'm grateful for our local tool library, which has a really nice wood shop. I did all the initial planing and jointing work there, then the drum sander on the glued-up slab, and spindle sander for shaping after roughing out the body. Their tools saved me dozens of hours and massively improved the result.
I should be able to post a complete shot in a few days, after a few coats of varnish and the slow drying time in our otherwise perfect early fall weather.

Against a black background, a small spotted cat with large eyes and rounded ears stares directly at the camera. It looks fierce, or at least as fierce as a three-pound cat can.

I remember in college, we read a book about Williams. His widow recounted unannounced visits by young and aspiring poets. I think Allen Ginsburg was one of these, at one time. Williams would let them in, read their verse, maybe offer a little advice. He was kind to them, but sometimes, when he had gotten rid of one, he would say: "The darned fool".

eleven shiny green-blue Emu eggs in a nest - bed of leaves on a forest floor
A batch of Emu eggs in the Marrinup State Forest, south of Perth. Discovered during an archaeological survey we were doing in there. Dad would have been lurking around somewhere but wasn't seen. Mum shot through a while ago, as is the Emu way.
That’d be a big carton.
I’d ask how the omelette tasted but I imagine there’s some massively Aussie curse around consuming those things and one just doesn’t.
@MackReed They’re mostly like enormous duck eggs. The only emu-based curse we have is more… general purpose. https://youtu.be/UL5cA4-z...
Beautiful eggs!
Come to think of it, I think the @otaman household has worked with them before. Digging through #pysanky, yup! https://mltshp.com/p/1NBOC
@MackReed
1 emu egg equals about 10-12 chicken eggs. Larger yolk to white ratio, so richer tasting. https://www.patreon.com/foxfeath...

* Or so they say – I've never had the chance to eat one
@MackReed Emu's don't look to kindly upon the practice and seeing as we're still at war with them it's best to do so in a low key kind of way

I have to assume that a deviled emu is just another name for a cassowary.
Warning! Sad and gory.
I had a client who told me that her aunt was killed when their car hit an emu.
The emu was happily running alongside the road but veered across the front of the car. An old car, with a thin windshield. Emu is taken out at the knees, rolls across the bonnet, through the windshield and into the cabin of the car.
Immediately starts lashing out with its long sharp claws and effectively eviscerates the poor woman.
Her husband scrambles out the driver's door, dragging the emu by the neck, but the poor woman bled to death in the passenger seat. Emu ran off.

@roonie yep, this is the second story of a person killed by an Emu that I've had told to me. First one was very similar, a car in the northwest hit an emu, the bird went over the top of the car and through the windscreen of the car behind killing the woman in the passengers seat.
Hmmm, hoping these aren't the same urban myth told differently

Edit: actually, no, I do hope they're both urban myths and nobody died by emu

Jesus Christ Marie
This all started when the Silverhawks theme song described them as "Partly metal, partly real" thus bringing into question if metal is real or not.
When I worked at a live Butterfly exhibit, I would routinely get asked if the pupae/chrysalises, sometimes even while they were twitching, were real. I routinely said no, and that our CGI budget was incredibly generous.
When I wore my mustache as a proper full-curl handlebar, I would occasionally get "is it real" questions. I would reply with "we can both see it, it isn't imaginary". Them I would pull on it to show them it was real.
Yes, but, is this real?
:p
:p
How well they have laid this plan to question everything but be skeptical of nothing.

OR

I worked in a museum and heard "is it real?" a lot. A long time considering why this is important to people has led me to believe that this is at bottom an instinctual attraction to authentic items and people, perhaps something animal in us, and that there is something extra transmitted to the observer that is not there with a replica, which may have its own positive effects on the observer not available to the original. Not talking about fraudulent attempts to pass something off as authentic, but plainly stated replicas, even elaborate, expensive ones. I'm sure the philosophers have thought on this for millennia. I should find their work.

A split image - on the left is a life-size cardboard cutout of Dolly Parton later in life (placed in my living room), wearing a vibrantly-colored patchwork dress and gold heels. On the right is a long blond wig hanging on the top corner of a closet door.
We’re ready.
Didn’t realize she was as physically small as she was until we had this life-sized cardboard cutout - where she didn’t even go al the way to the floor AND is wearing heels. But being petite never stopped her from being impactful!
May we all choose kindness and love, and the growth and benefit of others in need over our own financial gain! ❤️💃🏼🪩9️⃣2️⃣5️⃣

an impressively long table absolutely full of cookies and cakes and little numnums of all description. It is under a tent and the sun is shining. People are eating numnums
An older friend of mine had a big party nominally about her house's bicentennial but really just to hang out and eat indecent amounts of snacks. I showed up two hours into a three hour party and this was "all" that was left. 😂 House is in the background, it's a nice house. This lady calls me whenever she needs to update her email signature file.
Oh you Eaterners! I brag about my 150 year old house out here in the Rockies but 200... for America, dang! That's purdy old.
I am loving the sense of community in this pic.
Oh, I'll have the whole little orange topped cake! Wonderous!
I had a party like that when my house turned 100, but the snack table wasn’t nearly that long
200!
Our building turns 100 this year and we’re having a party, and we are all excited about that!
Our spread is not gonna look that fabulous though, like wjcstp said.

@wjcstp well, when you have the 200th party you can double the table length accordingly 😏
And here mine is only 126 years old. 😭
That lady with the box is organised!

A desert scene: a blocky tower of red rock rising up from the yellow sand. Above, a yellow sun blazes in the red sky. The sun is suspended from a long gantry, though, like that for traffic lights. The gantry is mounted at the top of the rocks. The painting is signed “Chris Silverman”.

matchbox cover for "tokyo jazz club" with an illustration of an octopus floating above a drum kit, with three sticks
Saved to T-shirt ideas!
this is excellent
I'm wondering about that detached arm at the bottom, partially behind the snare drum. Did it drum an arm loose?
Looks great.
(Probably AI though)
(Probably AI though)
Yeah, the loose arms do seem to imply a nonhuman artist, but my wife reads some Japanese and says the katakana on the side does phonetically say Tokyo Jazz Club and the kanji at the bottom looks like a plausible address in Tokyo. Google Maps shows no current club in Tokyo of that name.

Lol there was someone on Flickr years ago who cooked a Rhea egg, I think poached, and it took like 45 minutes or something. It looked absolutely disgusting.
CRIKEY!!!
God: I can make a deviled egg so good, you can only eat one.
Me: Bring it.
God: *Offers this*
Me: *dies of heart attack with creamy egg on my face*
God: Got 'im.

I was just thinking about Hotline yesterday, @1f2frfbf. Such cool servers. I had both client and server configurations setup on the high speed network when I was at university and shared so much good music with like-minded folks. Also used Fetch almost obsessively while I taught myself to code HTML, curating a couple niche websites.

Not one of them fit to lead. Not one.
All of them are fit to get in on the grift, though
I remember being worried about Mitt Romney winning the Presidential election......he has to pay for security for himself and family now
Cruz and Scott are already dead, they just don't have the intellect left to know it. Rand Paul is just waking up to the fact of his mortality, and no one is forgetting the couch, or his guilt by assssociation, and even as a "faithful," Catholic, messing with The Popes.
Pack of shitbirds.
I think they all should be made to reckon with Trumps unpopular policies. They all have failed to uphold their oaths of office.
