This is a comical entry representing the corruption of our Government (if it were ever to corrupt). In my opinion, if the government did end in corruption, as kiwi's at least we could go down in style (thus the tui beers, pavlova's, kiwifruits and L&P's) also note the view of the Beehive through the window!

What a shambles!
On Boxing Day morning I went to see the "spectacle" that is the Albrighton & Woodland Hunt. It was comical to watch.
Not one of the hunt masters actually looked like they wanted to be there. They rode with stern faces and gritted teeth. As soon as they saw the camera they looked away as if they had something to hide.
Maybe their angry faces were because of all the effort that had gone in to putting up crowd control barriers when there was hardly anyone there to actually watch.
The hounds were allowed to do as they pleased whilst in the street. Urinating and fouling all over the church yard. Several were scrounging in litter bins for food, do they not get fed in the kennels?
Owners of small dogs were forced to pick up their pets as the Hounds were harassing them.
Riders were happily drinking shots, one after the other, whilst on horseback whilst some looked and sounded like they had had a skin full already. Some riders were using mobile phones whilst riding.
"Security guards" strolled around in hi vis vests that belonged to construction companies and the terrier men stood around huddled in little groups.
A lady was walking, dressed in hunting attire, round the few spectators rattling a bucket begging for loose change?
One rider, a young girl I believe, lost control of her horse and it threw her off. A bystander commented she had suffered back and neck injuries. A road out of Newport had to be closed by 2 police cars, Air Ambulance attended as did an Ambulance. The hunt rode by uncaringly whilst she lay on the cold, damp road receiving treatment. Not one stopped.
There was one extremely stressed horse that had been left in a box at the rugby club.
On the way out of Newport the hounds were allowed to run on ahead, on the wrong side of the road, on a road with a 60mph limit whilst approaching a blind bend.
Surely this kind of behaviour shouldn't be allowed to go on, let alone the fact they were on their way out to kill foxes....
Its windowless expanses of aluminum siding are comical to see.

No doubt it’s a comical personage!:))))
This bird got my attention for showing ostensibly its grumpy and wit look. Totally dark except some few white feathers under its chin, an almost stocky neck. Occasionally one is bornpurewhite. It's not an albino they are dimorphic.
Sem dúvidas é um personagem cômico!:))))
Este pássaro chamou a minha atenção por mostrar ostensivamente seu olhar carrancudo e sagaz. Totalmente escuro exceto algumas poucas penas brancas sob o seu queixo, um pescoço quase troncudo. Ocasionalmente um nascebranco. Não é um albino, eles são dimorfos.

The website for an airline wanted to know what musical instrument I played: none, though once upon a time I played the piano, badly. It also wanted to know my favorite flavor of ice cream: cookie dough, probably, though it’s something of a tie with peanut butter cup. Finally, the website asked, “Who is your favorite artist?” It offered me a drop-down menu featuring comically disparate options — among them Banksy, Norman Rockwell, Gustav Klimt, Richard Serra and Shepard Fairey. It’s al about online security questions!
I have been asked all kinds of questions by the interfaces of major corporations for the purposes of “security.” Some security questions seem simple, almost cliché: “What is your mother’s maiden name?” (My mother kept hers, and then divorced.) “What color was your childhood house?” (Yellow, though first it was blue and then it was painted and then it was sold.) “Who was your childhood best friend?” (Annika — easy.) Others are more difficult, for their reliance on preferences, which they take to be fixed: favorite movie, favorite song, favorite color, even favorite activity. Sometimes they cut straight to the heart, as when I was given the option to select the security question “What is the love of your life?” (There was some odd poetry here — not “who,” but “what.”) I was trying to open a bank account when I found myself wondering, incongruously: What do I really love, above all else?
Online security questions have the feel of the icebreakers we might have played in middle school, or maybe second-date questions; they require us to self-define using arbitrary markers. They’re like treehouse secret passwords, in a game played with yourself. I have come to love them over the years, these sudden, strange, personal inquiries that guard our entrance into some of the internet’s most impersonal zones.
The assumption was that your mother’s maiden name would have faded so far into the past that almost no one else could possibly have known it.
Security questions were invented to solve a problem at once existential and practical: How can you prove that you are you? According to research done by Bonnie Ruberg, a professor at the University of California, Irvine, security questions came into being around 1850. The Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank was founded for Irish immigrants in New York, many of whom encountered discrimination at other banks. In the mid-19th century, banks often used signatures to authenticate people’s identities, but many of the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank’s clients could not read or write. So it created a “test book” that contained a wealth of personal information. When clients came in, clerks asked them about their personal history and relations to verify their identities. Sometimes they even asked the quintessential question, “What is your mother’s maiden name?” (The assumption was that your mother’s maiden name would have faded so far into the past that almost no one else could possibly have known it.) This practice caught on and expanded to other banks over the course of the next 50 years — they came to be called “challenge questions,” or “question-and-answer passwords,” or, my favorite, “shared secrets.”
Let Us Help You Protect Your Digital Life
Unfortunately, security questions are not very effective for security in the age of the internet. They are often easy to guess (your mother’s maiden name, which may still be her last name, is widely accessible information). A 2009 study found that users’ acquaintances could predict their security answers 17 percent of the time. Digital-security experts advise that we do away with them in favor of two-factor identification and better methods of protection. And yet security questions linger, surprisingly hard to dislodge from the architecture of the internet, out of some combination of cost-cutting, technical challenges and inertia. We are in that strange moment of technological in-between, the impending and necessary twilight of the security question.
I love a shared secret — even one between myself and my online banking system — and am already beginning to mourn the loss of security questions. They feel like antidotes to the sameness of the contemporary internet. Unlike the homogenized corporate sites to which they grant you entry, security questions’ essential randomness feels like a vestige of a past internet. They are addressed to me, personally, out of the blue, and they prod me to consider what makes me uniquely me. They are artifacts of an era when society thought differently about what constituted identity and how to prove it, when who we were wasn’t rooted in the idea of objective documents like passports and driver’s licenses, but in personal, often hereditary knowledge that could be shared.
There is something beautiful about this alternative articulation of the self. Rather than presenting yourself as the sum of objective facts — eye color, height, place of birth — you are instead asked to choose a favorite song. There is something essentially childlike about this; when I was young, I held my preferences like talismans, as I tried both to locate myself in the world and tell others who I was. I selected a favorite baseball player, and repeated it over and over: Derek Jeter, Derek Jeter, Derek Jeter. (In a diary I kept when I was 9, I compared two friends and wrote that one of them was a better match for me because we were both “huge Yankees fans.”) These things fluctuate; they are inexact. But the shifting landscape of my tastes, affinities and random personal trivia are, I think, more essential to who I am than my date of birth. I am still surprised and delighted to encounter another person, a kindred spirit, who shares my favorite song.

A comical airbrushed island-themed photo boards with head “cut outs” stationed at Jeff's Pirates Cove. At these cut outs people are often seen sticking their head through the boards while having their photos taken.

It was quite comical watching these two gentlemen trying their luck at crabbing. The boat motor would run for no more than 10 seconds at a time. The fellow on the oars was having trouble maintaining any position as the current was quite strong. An hour later I saw the boat coming to shore with just the man wearing the pfd on board - he was rowing. I assume that the other guy got tired of rowing and exited one way or another!

The Beautiful Comical Looking Puffin on the Saltee Island! The lens I had was not long enough and the sunlight was very harsh causing a very wide dynamic range. I pulled back as much as I could in Lightroom but I really need to get a new lens! Around 500mm F4 would do and I would return next year for another boat trip with Declan!

Choughs are such comical birds and there were 3 of them rolling about on their backs and wrestling with each other. They're amusing to have in the garden, despite their habit of fossicking like hens and throwing the mulch about.
Kewpie dolls (occasionally spelled cupie) and figurines are based on comical strip-like illustrations by Rose O'Neill that appeared in Ladies' Home Journal in 1909. The small dolls were extremely popular in the early 1900s. They were first produced in Ohrdruf, a small town in Germany, then famous for its toy-manufacturers. They were made out of bisque and then celluloid. In 1949, Effanbee created the first hard plastic versions.
Their name, often shortened to "Kewpies", is derived from "cupid", the Roman god of beauty and non-platonic love. The early dolls, especially signed or bisque, are highly collectible and worth thousands of dollars. The time capsule at the 1939 New York World's Fair contained a Kewpie doll. The term "Kewpie doll" is sometimes mistakenly applied to the troll doll.
Q.P. Corporation is a Japanese food manufacturer, famous for its popular brand of Japanese mayonnaise sold in plastic squeeze bottles with a Kewpie doll logo.

Two of a group of Apostlebirds we met at a roadhouse on the Stuart Highway (Larrimah perhaps?). These two squabbled quite comically over a very dirty piece of bread.
(FROM Wikipedia:) The Apostlebird (Struthidea cinerea), is a quick-moving, gray or black bird about 13 inches (33 centimetres) long. It is a native to Australia where it roams woodlands, eating insects and seeds at, or near, ground level. Apostlebirds often travel in groups of about 12; for this reason they were named after the Biblical apostles, the twelve chief followers of Jesus Christ.
Originally described by ornithologist John Gould in 1837, its specific epithet is Latin cinerea "grey". In its own genus Struthidea, it is placed in the family known as the mud-nest builders or Corcoracidae, written as Grallinidae in older books before the removal of the genus Grallina to the Wagtail family. It is one of two remaining species, with the White-winged Chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos), which differs in appearance but exhibits many behavioural similarities. The mudnest builder family Corcoracidae itself is now placed in a narrower "Core corvine" group, which contains the crows and ravens, shrikes, birds of paradise, fantails, monarch flycatchers, and drongos.
The Apostlebird was named after the Biblical apostles, the twelve followers of Jesus Christ. In fact, the species travel in family groups of between 6 and 20, which may coalesce with other family groups into large feeding flocks of over 40. Their gregarious nature, and harsh scolding/grating calls have led to a plethora of colloquial names. They can be known locally as Grey Jumpers, Lousy Jacks (due to heavy louse infestations), Happy Jacks, Happy Families and CWA Birds. The latter name is mildly derogatory, referring to the supposed resemblance of Apostlebird's constant chatter to a Country Women's Association meeting.
