Bored At work?
Want something to do when you are bored at work? - Collect some dead flies from the office windowsills.
- Put them in the sun to dry for one hour.
- Once they are dry, pick up a pencil and paper...let your imagination go crazy.
Here are a few examples...

Don't say "work".
I got nauseous there for a second.

The frau and I had to debate on the last pic, all very good by the way. I originally thought it was assaulters at BP, but I was corrected, they're in line for the WC.

Fly on a leash.
Had a student who was rather adept at catching flies, tying a leash to them made from a strand of hair, and taping the other end to his desk.
(IIRC, the procedure involved an assistant.)

Nylon sewing thread, super glue, and Bubble Bees, to much fun until Grandma came home.
My cousin and I still LOL whenever we start talking about it.

I remember doing the same thing with those green June Bugs. We'd grab a spool of thread and tie it to one of the legs. We'd then fly them around until they expired and go catch another one. No computer games back in those days.

R, in the recent past a presentation of such brilliance would refer to by real hipsters as: "FLY" ... I think it should be expanded into a full exhibition, flies in the ointment?
I keep going back, laughing more as I investiagte the positions further, its really funny and it is brilliant; real art, sorta like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst work.

Use of the "W" word usually evokes a Maynard G. Krebs like reaction in me...

Was this followed shortly by "go cut yourself a switch!" comment from said grandma?
My experience with bumble bees isn't so nice. Brushclearing with a 4ft deck behind the tractor, stirred up a nest. Explaining to dad that I bailed from the tractor and let it roll to a stop. No damage done, just lucky to not get ate by the brush hog.
So on top of stings, I got the ass-chewing to last a lifetime.

Nice artwork, I really laughed hard at the bathroom scene.
