Evening all :)

Quick question: what the hell has happened to Harvest festival? When I was at school, we chucked a tin of beans and some super noodles in the collection basket. For gumby jr's first harvest, we've been asked to make an animal sculpture (ffs!) from fruit or vegetables. A whole Sunday afternoon spent on this crap!

That photo is a little disturbing. Did you take it yourself, or is it a photo copied from the net?

I saw some great fruit and veg ones on holiday abroad many years ago now. Both your post and this memory, made me briefly look on line, to see what's 'out there'. I've only looked at about twelve different photos, but I already think that I have a winner - both in terms of the aesthetics of the end product, and the clear lack of need to spend much time at all on the project.

A solid effort... you can add some pea eyes to that carrot though. :)

That's a photo of what we actually made this afternoon. FML!

Actually, it's a fine piece of work. It's not something that I'm comfortable with, but I think I'm going to have to disagree with vintagelaureate, on the adding of pea eyes to it. I think that would spoil it, and actually make it look like some sort of animal - as opposed to the work of a deviant mind, which it looks like now!  The thing is, you can hand your 'piece' in and hold your head up high, knowing that it will provoke thoughts in the teacher's mind that they really didn't want to be put there. You can, stoney faced, just look at them, perhaps with a staged proud smile, and take the pregnant pause between the two of you. You'll know, deep down, that he / she is going to buckle first, and come out with a much tamer response than the one they really want to come out with. They will do this because they will, in panic, conclude that it's inconceivable that this man in front of them would stand their smiling at his and his son's handiwork, if they actually meant to visually represent all that is so very very wrong, and possibly evil.

Of course, you'll be running the risk that the teacher anonymously calls the Youth Social Services Emergency Intervention Team, but that no doubt something that you can have a laugh at with mr gumby jr, when on your monthly accompanied visits to see him.

I have to agree on the eyes subject. I think they would remove the element of doubt, and make it far more 'safe'. I also, however, have to disagree with you too, Yog. As Mrs gumby has been a social worker for 15 years, I am fully aware that if someone contacted social services complaining about the disturbing nature of a fruit-and-vegetable tortoise, not only would they be told (politely) to fuck right off, it would be the basis of office jokes for at least a decade.

I'm happy to hear that you agree on the eyes front mr gumby, and take your point vis-à-vis the Social Worker element.  Good luck to you and your son when presenting that masterpiece in school. Do let us know how it is received, and possibly whether other parents and children have created different animals that express 'other things'!

Morning! Well that discussion about fruit/veg animals has cheered me up!! :)

I had a good weekend, nothing to do with fruit/veg animals though! The music thing on Saturday was good, we situated ourselves outside at a bar near one of the big stages so we could hear a few bands. I then ended up at a friends house until 2am... yesterday was a write off!

Here's a fruity one, if it's a fruity you want or are in actual need of people;

You wanna bit of that? Well then, get yourself down the local fruit and veg market and when the assistant asks what you want, say ' Please don't take offence, but I want to speak to the Jaffa'.

 

I'll get my coat;

Sorry to hear that Guy, modern medicine is miraculous at times. Just make every moment count, reminisce about good times gone by, saviour each day as it passes and plan to create new memories. 

Take care old son.

Hello again guy,

Given your previous almost blasé response to falling off a cliff while pissed, and going straight 'back on it' afterwards, I think it's fair to say that I would eagerly read that book of yours. You should write it. All the best, old son.

Sending love your way Guy xxx

I'm not too sure if this photo really needs a quantifying explanation behind it, or not;

Rude Vegetables | When vegetables (and fruits) go bad…

 

The thing is, if I start to explain why I have posted it, then I may well put my

Funny Vegetables Shape FYI:  While cutting vegetables for Mother's Day, my grown daughter dropped a few:   She said, "Why did God make all the vegetables round instead of square?"  Never thought of that, ha!

 

in it. 

I don't really want to go down those lines, but will say that I now understand why some people suffer from Tomatophagia ( An insatiable desire to nosh on tomatoes).
