It's likely that quite a few of the younger Flickrites have never heard of mumbly (or mumblety) peg because it's a game kids play with a pocket knife, and any kid getting caught with a knife in his pocket today would probably be suspended from school, arrested by the police and find themselves being grilled by Homeland Security. But, when I was in school, 75 or so years ago, all us kids had knives in our pockets, and during recess, there were always some who were shooting marbles, playing jacks and some who were flipping their jack knives in games of mumbly peg. In one of the many variations of this game, the point was to throw the knife and stick it as close to your own foot as you dared. He who stuck it the closest won the game, and he who stuck it in his foot was the supreme winner...
The ll/27/2017 theme for #MacroMondays is #GamesOrGamePieces.
(The portion of the knife that is showing here measures roughly two inches)
Alternative for Our Daily Challenge ... news of the weird.
I'm sure my neighbours think I'm a little strange when they see me photographing odd things at various times but today I got caught by my next door neighbour taking photos of clothes pegs ... something I don't normally do in public because it is a little weird! She didn't make any comment so maybe she is used to my strange habits by now.
Even weirder is the attached story about a man who clips hundreds of clothes pegs (pins to some of you) to his face.

We're finally getting sunny, dry weather which means I can line dry the laundry, so I bought some new pegs today and did loads of washing.
How dull and boring my day has been, lol. I photographed the pegs though, they're quite bright and cheerful.

A close up of my wife's acoustic guitar's tuning pegs for this week's Macro Mondays theme of 'Member's Choice - Musical Instruments'.
A single image processed in Lightroom (global and local adjustments) and Photoshop (cloning out the hundreds of dust specks attracted to the neck of the guitar).
Thanks for viewing - Happy Macro Mondays to everyone!
Laser Pegs "The Ultimate Toy For Kids" (2012)
Battery in the base connects to an LED in each piece. Circuit is automatically made when pieces are connected.

I almost didn't get this shot - we'd stopped to eat in a a Patisserie and I spotted this - I had to run back and get my camera! Hope you like it. :)
you cannot force a square peg into a round hole.
Not unless you bend it all out of shape and force it through..
This is not what education should be about!
This is not what socialisation should be about...
A “person with disability” should not have to be twisted out of shape - we should bend to accept their abilities, understand their difficulties and celebrate their
uniqueness.

Brand-new pegs, dangling in the wind, hence the blur......
Photo taken for this week's challenge "Something New"
Camp kids enjoy an unusual challenge. Here they get to hang out the washing with the person still inside. It takes many clothes pegs and lots of energetic enthusiasm. A fun result.
Anyone else having issues with Flickr? Just went to upload a photo and after starting the upload I just get a Yahoo message, browser doesn't recognise URL or something similar ... What the hell is going on ...
The title was inspired by this photo by Random Retail, though I think that one might have the amount of pegs seen here beat by a good bit!

I'm grounded at the moment with a rather nasty virus, but in my more lucid moments I've been having a play with my new macro lens. It's opened up a whole new world of photography, although it will be a while before I feel confident to move onto bugs etc. In the meantime I practiced on some pegs as my Mum was hanging up the washing. She on the other hand, assumed I'd gone completely delirious :)))
