Active Assignment Weekly: Figure of Speech
...as good as gold.
The assignment: Metaphors, irony, puns, "old sayings" are all examples of figures of speech, (there’s a whole list of them here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_speech)
This week, show a figure of speech (natural example or set-up) through a picture, after all, a picture is worth a thousand words…
Restriction: none
Dare: Share a local figure of speech
WIT: Being a geologist, I just happen to have some pyrite (fool's gold) lying around, so that in combination with my real gold wedding band is the shot you see. Camera on tripod, F/11, 2.5 sec., ISO 1600 (because I forgot to change it). CS4 crop, curves, desaturate reds and magentas, vibrance enhancement, noise reduction, sharpen, resize.
Fools Gold stars Matthew McConaughey as Ben Finn Finnegan, a good-natured, surf bum-turned-treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding the legendary 18th century Queens Dowry -- 40 chests of exotic treasure that was lost at sea in 1715. In his quest, Finn has sunk everything he has, including his marriage to Tess Finnegan (Kate Hudson) and his more-rusty-than-trusty salvage boat, Booty Calls. Just as Tess has begun to rebuild her life, working aboard a mega-yacht owned by billionaire Nigel Honeycutt (Donald Sutherland), Finn discovers a vital clue to the treasures whereabouts. Certain that his luck will change with the newfound information, Finn maneuvers himself aboard Nigels yacht and, using his good-natured charm, convinces the tycoon and his Blackberry-wielding, celebutante daughter, Gemma (Alexis Dziena), to join him in the pursuit of the Spanish treasure. Against Tess better judgment, the search rekindles her loveof discovery. But they are not the only ones after the treasure. Finns mentor-turned-nemesis Moe Fitch (Ray Winstone) has also set out to claim the prize.

If you’re a Facebook addict and biting people doesn’t quite cut it anymore, you’ve got to try a new application called “Steal My Booty.” It’s a dog-eat-dog treasure hunting game, where players steal treasure from their friends, and have treasure stolen from them when they are not looking.

This town has a rather unusual name. 'Goor' means 'filthy' in Dutch. Obviously many residents want a new name for their town, the municipality is now considering this suggestion. In the meanwhile Tim couldn't resist...

the Fool represents a time of newness, a time when life has been "re-started" as it were. In addition, they likely have no idea where they're going or what they're going to do. But that doesn't matter. For the Fool, the most important thing is to just go out and enjoy the world. To see what there is to see and delight in all of it.
Unfortunately, in this childlike state the person is likely to be overly optimistic or naive.

Funny, they do look a lot more artsy and sophisticated when framed and poster-ified.
Wasn't this a nice April Fool's joke they did?
Well, folks, it appears he has had a 1 foot and 3 inches lift! But it was about 5 feet shy og the world record!
March 30 to April 1 is April Fools for Health week in Windsor. (yes, i know it's not a whole week... don't ask me!) This week is to raise funds for the Clown Doctors program at our local hospitals. Clown Doctors bring joy to patients of all ages. The week's highlight is the "Red Nose Challenge" where schools and businesses compete to see who can sell the most red noses at a toonie each. To get involved call 519-254-5577 x 76004. "Laughter is the best medicine!"
A fool’s errand is a task or activity that has no hope of success. A fool is a person who acts unwisely or imprudently; a silly person or a jester or clown, especially one retained in a royal or noble household.
Isot Maddrell wasn’t entirely sure if it was just her or if everybody got treated like this. She was fresh out of school and had only had a few small jobs but it seemed to happen every time.
When she was working part time at the pizzeria her boss would send her to the fridge to look for things that didn’t exist, like the dough repair kit, then burst out laughing when she’d come back empty handed. When her dad managed to wangle her a junior role in a very well known Michelin starred restaurant the head chef there delighted in asking her to fetch the souffle pump. In all fairness Isot was a hard worker and was really just trying to be helpful but her bosses always left her feeling like she was the butt of the joke.
That was until the day she decided that working for other people was just another form of indentured servitude. She is now a famous international artist known for her many idiosnycratic works such as Glass Hammer (2011), Can of Steam (2012), Dough repair kit (2012), tin of tartan paint (2013), sound powered phone batteries (2016) and Brick bender (2015). ‘Who’s the fool now?’ Isot chuckles to herself as she spends yet another weekend in San Tropez…

I wonder if the arrangement of the sticks and the hat and the feeding with a spoon was a game.
I brought my son back for his three week check since he fell off his scooter, Tallaght Hospital originally told us that he fractured his elbow and then told us the next day that he only had cartilage damage and now the Doctors changed their minds after more X-rays that he has in fact broken a bone in his elbow.... to say we are pissed is an understatement.
"A fool is one who goes on trusting; a fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience. You deceive him, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you. Then you will say that he is a fool, he does not learn. His trust is tremendous; his trust is so pure that nobody can corrupt it.
Be a fool in the Taoist sense, in the Zen sense. Don't try to create a wall of knowledge around you.Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen, and then go on dropping it. Go on cleaning your mind continuously; go on dying to the past so that you remain in the present, here now . as if just born, just a babe.
In the beginning it is going to be very difficult. The world will start taking advantage of you...let them. They are poor fellows. Even if you are cheated or deceived and robbed, let it happen, because that which is really yours cannot be robbed from you, that which is really yours nobody can steal from you.
And each time you don't allow situations to corrupt you, that opportunity will become an integration inside. Your soul will become more crystallized."- Osho
