Okay, this game started off as something of a joke. But this time I decided to do one that would actually be a challenge. Can you spot what I changed in this famous painting?
And trust me… this was not easy to do.

Superbe
Awww… shucks…
amazing!
oh, stop… no wait… do go on… ha… thanks.
NICE
Yes… you are…
I studied the Renaissance in Art History, and have pored over the Mona Lisa in great detail. Also, there are photos of landscapes at our place, which are strangely devoid of fenceposts and powerlines….. π
(Not saying that Mona Lisa’s fenceposts and powerlines are erased…! ha!)
I should have added some.
I thought I knew but once I googled the original…it still took me a little while…well done…I’ve only seen the others briefly though; I assume this will be the best!
I might do some more like this. It was fun.
I think I know what you did, but how do I know for sure, when no one is saying what exactly?
Google the painting and compare… you still wont know how…
But it looks so realistic, how?
I didn’t change anything… well… I had to sort of extend parts… using the clone tool…
So you made a Clona Lisa…
HA!!!!!
My God. She’s a dude.
Mystery solved.
umm… close but no cigar…
What?????? Really????
I said close.
Interesting work (It’s my job doing this sort of thing)…..Have a nice day
Thanks… I don’t get a dang thing for doing this… sigh,…
It was easy to do, don’t think you can fool me!!! I’ve seen you do it before!!! π
Avert your eyes and remove the children from the room before he does it again.
Oh Lord. You’re my hero!
…ooo000ooo…
Well. I’m looking forward to that for sure!!!
as well you might
I’m certain.
I want comments on old posts… this is just going around in circles… give us some new stuff to jabber on about.
Oh my goodness… ok ok! You seem like a puppy dog that wants me to play with it right this second π cute! Ok. I’m venturing over there now.
I am exactly like that…
I see
Aw, shucks ‘mam. It twern’t nuthin’. I am at you disposal. Well, not after tonight. I am returning to the home planet for a brief interlude this week coming. I will shall miss you all almost as much as you shall miss me. My birth pod is missing me and she needs my help. If you get lost in the blog, just keep moving toward the light. He seems all too eager for you to plumb the depths of his strange little world. BEWARE. Mwhahaha.
I like that word… twern’t. It will now appear in my vocabulary. π
yeah… very Shakespearian…
Jajaja
And thank you for the warning. Sooo… if you’re at my disposal…
He is also a plumber
All men are plumbers…
That is so not true.
Oh yes. It is. Think about it…
I can’t… because I forgot what we were talking about because we have so many threads going…
Hey, you’re the one who wanted me to start reading your blog from the beginning… what did you think was gonna happen? Besides… I’m keeping up with it all. So can you and your crack squirrels. (Except the one that accidentally OD’d…)
Have you also noticed that a few other people went all the way back? Not from as far ahead as you… but I think they were all female… I must be good at sweet talking…
I think the blogging population is mostly female… but if it helps your ego then okay π
It isn’t and it does.
That’s all that matters.
Ha… this was in my spam folder… along with 19 more…
π¦ Did you send me there????
If you do too many short comments in a day it happens.
Now back to work, shirker!!!
Why is Hotel California playing in my mind now?
Are you going to stab me with your steely knife?
No, not stab… I do have a knife fetish though…
I love bladed weapons… I have quite a few… and I carve wooden replicas of some of them to practice with…
That gave me chills…
Hey now…
What…
spam
Wtf? Are my comments not good enough for your inbox anymore??? π₯
dude it wasn’t me.
I’m not afraid. And I love pink champagne. I’ve seen one of the squirrels too. I think he might have overdosed a bit…
I lose a lot of them along the way… short life span…
Do they reproduce? If not, you will eventually run out…
They do… like crazy…
What does that feel like?
spam
Sooo sorry, But not this moment. Hold that though. You have a rain-check.There is an empty suitcase calling my name to prepare for an early departure. Enjoy your trip into the blogosphere. Sounds like you should take a flashlight along with the advised food and water. Mark your trail as you go to find your way back. Once in is not always once out.
There are emergency exits…
If you come back and don’t here from me… then you know where to look and come rescue me right?
Don’t worry addercatter. I’ll be your wingman. I’ve got your 6. G’night. See you end of the week.
Thank you, my Lord π btw you can call me Kat
Consider it done, Kat. Goodnight now. I’ll pray for relief from pain. Sorry for your trials. They have made you who you are though. ‘Til later. Keep Art in line in my absence. Ciao.
Nitey nite! Be safe and well on your adventures, Lord.
Stop calling him that…do you see a halo over that burnt head?
Yes. Don’t you?
No… I see devil horns.
Uh oh. Might you be a bit jealous?
Of a forehead… that will be the day…
Awww… that’s so cute!
spam
Back in the saddle, Kat. I see you made it out alive. Starting to catch up on the ton of mails. Only about 100. Shouldn’t take much more than the rest of my dwindling life-span. And you may call me Dan, if it pleases you. I rushed off last week without telling you. It was going to be a short night and a long drive so I was rushing. I did take time to pray though. I never say that without following through, usually immediately. Can’t hurt and it might just help.
Dan. I like that name. Reminds me of Lieutenant Dan on Forrest Gump π
I’m glad you are safely home… I guess that’s where you are…
Anyways. I actually haven’t made it out yet. I’m still in there, but I’m able to communicate with you via a rogue crack squirrel.
Yep. Back home tonight and still slogging through the mail but my eyes are getting weary and about to stop. I have the day tomorrow. Watch out for the squirrels, they look cute with the bushy tails and all, but they’re still rodents. My mother had some pictures she took of a white squirrel..
A white squirrel? I’ve never seen one. Was it albino?
I didn’t get a close look at its eyes to see if they had pigmentation or not. Not all white squirrels are albinos. Some just have a recessive gene.
Interesting. I have messed up genes… well two that I know of. It sucks!
I can understand that. I have a slight physical limitation that impacts my career choice but has also been a benefit at the same time. How we adapt to those limitations is the measure of our character and willingness to persevere. Those limitations can provide us with an opportunity to become an model or inspiration to others, even on a level of which we are not conscious. Hang in there on being a witness to your kids as an over-comer.
I can see it in 2 of them already. EDS has a 50% chance for the gene to be passed on. There hasn’t been enough research done on Chiari Malformation but both are horrible to live with and usually don’t show themselves until adulthood. I was 29 when I was diagnosed.
Okay… I will stop being funny at this point…
Over-comer… you can’t leave her with a line like that… step back…
Dan has messed up jeans…
It happens sometimes. Maybe he hasn’t gotten laid in awhile…
NOT on my funny picture post…
I’m sorry π¦
Next time I do another picture of a flaming beaver, you will be the first person I call…
You can’t.
Psychic phone call. I can.
Touche
It is a touchΓ© tone phone…
Haha good one!
It was, wasn’t it.
You should do something with that… the phone that is a smartass or something
Or something.
Go to my search button and type in ‘flaming beaver’
I’m scared…
You might be surprised.
I like surprises. Feel free to mail some to me randomly. Btw I went there… I’m sorry I missed it π¦ but you’re probably grateful that I did…
We will see.
What will we see? And will we see it physically or psychically?
I am not sending Anthony Wiener pictures, if that is what you are asking… HA!
Wait… who is Anthony? And why have you sent him wiener pictures? And what does that have to do with me? I mean, I don’t judge… if you wanna send guys pictures of your wiener then more power to you!
He was a Congressman… got kicked out for sending pictures… to lots of people… ran for mayor of somewhere… and was doing pretty good… until more pictures surfaced… watch the news now and then…
You insult my intelligence… I was being a smartass because of the way your sentence sounded. π¦
Hey… your intelligence insulted itself… that’s my story and I’m sticking to it…
You’re just upset because I know your secret
Not just because of that… HA!!!
Ohhhhh… hey I wonder what will happen if I do a google search…
On what now?
You’ll see…
More mystery
I’m good at being mysterious.
True.
Wait… this post wasn’t really a ‘funny’ post…
Oh… is it the Mona Lisa one? You guys are doing this on that one? Do you know how hard I worked on that???
Actually yes. It was one click…
No it wasn’t… you didn’t look closely enough.
I scoured it with a magnifying glass. It was a one click job…
Oh… that’s what you meant…
π
Or regressive jeans…

Aggressive Geans
They have black ones in Canada… I seen ’em…
Canada huh… hmm.
They roam the forests with the flaming beavers.
I once had a flaming beaver…
sigh… really… only once?
Actually, you’re correct. Not only once. Did you really just ask that? You know I have all kinds of things I could say about my flaming beaver…
I suggest going to ‘you know who’s’ new blog when he gets it up… uh… running… because that is exactly the kind of commentary he is going to end up with.
Seriously?
It is just a suggestion… not trying to get rid of you…
I feel betrayed… :-S
There is enough of you to go around… uh…
What is that supposed to mean??? Did you just call me fat??,
No… or loose either…
Very few special individuals get me, I’ll have you know…
Once again, I never meant to imply otherwise…
You’re actually quite lucky…
I guess I am at that…
And I have another question… do you not have a blog?
I don’t have a blog yet. When I finally get around to doing it and not just researching it to death, it will not be a chatty blog like this one. It will have a specific focus and be informational/educational with mature subject matter, and maybe NSFW on occasion, and not a good format for this type of communication. I wouldn’t mind having a chatty blog but I don’t know that I could support two at the same time especially if I do the kind of job on the primary I want to do.
Stop researching it and just do it already! (Good. I don’t think I could handle another blog like this. Shh don’t tell Art) – the words in parentheses are an invisible font that only the intended reader can see-
Mature content? I’m liking the sound of this. What are you waiting on… start! Now! π
It’s going to be about relationships, romance, sensuality and sexuality, It could get a little chatty from time-to-time I suppose but in a more serious way, Kind of like when Art does his free-form writing and everybody gets all introspective and philosophical.
I’m sure I’ll be your number one commenter… I’m an expert at those things. I need somewhere to let it out… Art won’t let me get past anything rated R here…
You still manage to slip one past me now and then…
It’s fun being slippery…
Just… never mind…
You have to remember Art wants this to be an archive for generations to come in his family. I am sure he will be deleting some posts as time passes that went a bit askew from his original intent. He has too much faith in our sense of propriety at times and then gets caught up in it. We can be a pretty randy bunch when not moderated.
Oops…
I try to point that out…
The Randy Bunch… wasn’t that a Western?
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him think… and you are going to ruin your life if you do a blog like that…
I do know what you mean. There can be an actual need for a thing, but people have to recognize, admit and own the need first, then they have to want to do something to meet the need. I could just end up archiving letters, numbers and images on virtual pages nobody reads or cares about. It has taken a long time to get to the point of thinking about doing a blog. I feel so ineffective addressing the issue on a one-on-one basis though. You can’t hardly walk up and down the street with a sign “Will talk about sex and relationships for food” and get many takers; appropriate ones at least. With a blog you get an audience that came willingly into the tent and will stay if seriously interested in dialoging. The lurkers will get weeded out or blocked. That’s the beauty of a blog. You can shut the hecklers down in short order. Sometimes the community will do it for you.
It does carry some risk though. You may have noticed?
Hey, I just started this to impress book publishers… I have no expectations.
And it shows. I mean that in a good way. It’s made this a fun place to be. The more serious stuff has been a good addition too. I think it will help to have people invest in you as a human being and not just a personality. But what do I know; I’m not the one with the world-wide blog.
I invested in myself as a human being… the stock market crash did not help.
Yeah… what kind of mature content… and why is there a pair of parentheses surrounding a big, empty space???
Nevermind that… um… idk you’ll have to ask Lord Forehead about his blog ideas. I just learned of them…
I am following along… because you two are doing this on a funny post I did… and someday archaeologists are going to uncover this conversation and wonder what it had to do with funny pictures…
π¦ don’t be jealous…
I never get jealous of him… because I have seen him flirt with every girl who notices him… so I know he doesn’t really mean any of it…
And you do mean it? Wait… He was flirting with me? Are you sure? Because I usually notice things like that…
He is just that good at it… like a mosquito sucking your blood without you even noticing…
You know all about that don’t you…
I have my moments.
Yes you do
Am I having one now?
Yes. I can feel it.
Awesome… sometimes I can’t even tell.
You might want to get that checked out…
I have.
Well that sounds like a fun place to visit… what, pray tell, are we going to learn?
I have been studying on marriage relationships for quite a while now. It is apparent that attitudes between men an women, particularly in marriages, are quite different when it comes to sex, sensuality and romance. This is due in no small part by organized religion’s perceived teachings about sex and the interpretations of the church as to what is permissible or beneficial between consenting adults. Obviously the themes would be mature and even NSFW in some cases. It would not be a sex/porn blog, but obviously it will be adult. It will be strongly in favor of marriage and I hope to have a lot of women comment on it. I want to keep learning how women think so the blog can be educational to both sexes. I pretty much have the man side of it figured out with a bias I am hoping to be educated out of. We men aren’t bad guys, we’re just too different to always be properly responsive. Properly responsive coming from both sides means we all have great sex more often and our marriages have a hell of a lot less anxiety and friction. Sex isn’t the only thing that makes a successful marriage, but the quality, and often quantity, of the sex is a strong indicator of marital satisfaction for both parties. I hope to help increase both factors and thus the satisfaction and maybe help see a reduction in the divorce rate, especially in marriages among the churched. We now are on a par with the secular world which is not a good witness. The only time the church talks about sex in marriages is when there is a problem. Most do little in a preventative or promotional format. That’s the idea. Not necessarily new, but what I feel compelled to address.
I know what you want it to be. I just doubt that it will turn out that way. I wanted to talk about military history with people all over the world 10 years ago, so I joined some chat groups. Let me tell you a secret… there were a few people who generally wanted to discuss military history… everybody else was just goofing around like bad-spelling teenagers. And those were chat rooms that were listed as military history discussions.
Every post you do, no matter how educational or scientific or highbrow you try to make it, is going to end up involving people who just like to type nasty shit or shock people… or teenage boys who like to type dirt words…
I can’t get people to not talk about sex here, and this is just a comedy blog…
I see you two… not talking about me…
It’s only because he hasn’t started his blog yet. Tell him he needs to just do it already!
I can not get behind his idea for a blog of that sort… I wouldn’t be able to visit it any way… and he will end up single and alone… and it will just be a creepy dark place with a sticky floor… because when you do posts with any of those words, you get searches from all the freaks.
Wait… did you just call me a freak?
I don’t know… did I?
It’s ok if you did. I can get pretty freaky at times…
I have learned that about you.
Really? Most people don’t see that in me…
I like the fact that you show me stuff you don’t show everybody…
You do? Really?
When you do it right… yes…
Wait… right? Have I done it wrong? I’m confused…
I mean with subtlety and charm and lack of graphic adult content…
Hmm. It’s hard for me to tell the difference at the time, sometimes
That is the true art, isn’t it?
I think so…
But you forget sometimes.
Hey, you can’t really blame me, I’m on like 5, 000mg of opiates a day…
You know what we called that back in the day? Tuesday… afternoon…
Right on
Yup
Throw in some xanax for good measure and I’m good to go…
It is on the shopping list.
I already got it don’t worry… too bad I can’t smoke anymore…
Yeah… that would help.
Yes I know… but this fucked up government we have seems to think that it’s okay for me to be on a shitload of manufactured prescription pain meds.
They don’t care how you are doing.
Oh I know… I know way more about the government than I care to at this point. I did a lot of research a few months ago… it consumed me actually. It’s appalling, the things I learned. What a broken, corrupt, country of communism this has become π¦ it saddens me very much.
Communism??? Really????
No…
Okay… good…
Okay…
and good
Just good?
Good is good.
So you say…
It says itself.
It can talk now?
Good says good… that is the way words work.
Rrrr,… there she blows… the great white squirrel… call me Ishmael…
It would be appropriate that the crack squirrels would be white.
So people who smoke pot should be green,,,
You squirrel hijacker!
It wasn’t my fault. He came to me!
They are cheating on me… sob…
It was only one… and I think there was something really wrong with him. His eye kept twitching and he would randomly hop around on one foot…
Don’t worry. The others are faithful I promise.
Oh… that’s Phil… I was wondering where he went.
Yep. That’s what his name was. See… nothing to worry about…
He always comes back…
Oh good… um… ok… yeah… but maybe not this time…
There re always more out there…
Oh. That’s scary… and a relief. I was worried you’d be mad at me when you found out…
No…
Ok good. Whew.
Phew…
I feel much better now
That is what I am here for…
I’m here for… nevermind
nevermind…
To endlessly torture
It will end some day.
Maybe
Everything does…
Probably sooner for me than you, so in that case you’re right…
Well that’s cast rather a pall of gloom over the evening, hasn’t it?
Not at all π I’ve accepted my fate.
Well I haven’t…
Your fate or my fate? Your fate is promising and you are destined to be great π
So I should just stop worrying about you?
You’re worried about me? I thought you were worried about you… aww… that’s nice
I am nice.
I know, we’re very much alike, remember…
I would be worried about that if I were you.
Maybe you’re the one who should be worried…
I am always worried.
That’s where the xanax comes in handy…
I bet.
No… I mean for you…
Everything is for me.
I guess I could mail some to you with my payment…
Some what? I don’t know what we are talking about any more.
Haha some xanax
I’m at my pain dr right now… any requests?
I will take three of the red ones and two of the blue ones.
Hmm. I can do the blue ones for sure. I’m not familiar with anything red… perhaps a nice green or white?
Green…
Better cut them in 4ths to start out…
I think the white might be too much for you. Better go with green.
Can we start commenting on a newer post… you are skewing my stats…
Sure. I’ll pick.
You open your own mail right?…
Other people can too… or you mean snail mail… yeah… but I don’t want to get anything anybody else can’t see… what are we talking about?
Your order of blue and green!
Please don’t send me drugs through the mail… even as a joke… or if I ask for them…
You really think I would send you my drugs? I’m selfish.
I can only determine how crazy you are by what you type to me… so…
I’m a sick, lonely, pathetic individual with way too much time on my hands and way too much information crammed into my brain… I’m pretty harmless really. I like to smile and joke around. I may be crazy but not in a serial killer sort of way. More of a sometimes obnoxious, sometimes serious, but mostly full of shit sort of way…
spam… and nobody said you were pathetic…
Fucking spam!!! I had a bad day and now I’m spam too… kinda fits the post I wrote this morning ha… ha…
I was beginning to get the sense that you might not be in the best mood ever.
I just now got home. I’ve been through a lot today.
Sorry…
You have nothing to be sorry for. In fact you’re helping me even.
That is what I am here for.
Don’t you trust me?
I trust everybody up to a point.
Which point?
The point where I don’t any more.
I’m sort of the opposite

I don’t think that was me… let me check…
Okay
Unless you pray for a building to fall on someone…
Wouldn’t do that. I can and do think unkind thoughts like any of us but I wouldn’t try to get them implemented in that way. Christian or otherwise, bad karma doing that. There is no peace to be found in wishing ill upon others no matter how much you dislike them. Life is tough enough without personally adding to your own trials. That would be giving control of your circumstance to them or your attitude about them. Not a wise choice.
βEverything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedomsβto choose oneβs attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose oneβs own way.β
