(Or): It would be sort of cool if we were small…
No… that is still a little too big…
Oh yeah… that is perfect!
Humans are so self-centered. We tend to think that we are the center of everything. Take, for example, the matter of size. We think of everything that is smaller than we are as being small, and everything that is larger as being big. It is a little like that strange phenomenon we all get when we are driving on the freeway. Everyone driving slower than you is an annoying, incompetent jerk, and everybody driving faster than you is a rude maniac.
Size truly is the most relative of all things. What do the words ‘big’ and ‘small’ even mean? We keep saying we have discovered the smallest particle that exists, and then we find that those particles are made up of other, smaller particles. And the thing is… (I love that crazy ‘thing’)… all those particles are made up of smaller particles… and so on and so on…
The same thing works in the other direction. We believe that the universe goes on forever. So we invented the word ‘infinity’. That is a pretty fancy word. It is really more of a concept, because we cannot truly grasp something that large. And the thing is… (What? Two ‘things’ in one post???)… the universe might just be a small particle in something larger… and so on and so on…
But consider the advantages if we were all smaller than the size we now are. The world would not be so crowded. The resources would not be being depleted so quickly. Plus, we could all ride around on dogs…
And we really could soar like an eagle…
Pouring My Art Out 
I would be paranoid that someone would squash me like a bug. Other than that it would be a blast.
We would all have to be that size…
We could do with a little less crowded of an earth. Is it just me, or do you look strangely hungry in that first pic?
Well I am just so tasty looking
I got nuthin.
me neither
You are so right! We are so egocentric.
Humancentric
Yeah that too but more concerned with our own human than others
Tell me about it
Yep. Some days you just feel like saying “that’s it humans, I’m done” and moving to Venus (because girls right?!).
Too bad Venus rhymes with a male appendage… HA!
I know. What a cruel twist of fate!
Irony… you could move to China… HA!
Hehehe you always make me laugh out loud, did you know that?
yay
You have an earring
I sometimes switch it out for a more fancy dangling kind
ahaha! do you have a belly ring too?
shut up
does that mean you do?
no
He might, Masta Z. Would you really want to see it, though?
Ummm no Trendy Trent Rappa TL Lewin!
What about my belly button without a ring?
ewww then there would bb lint
oh yeah
ewww that’s why I have a belly ring
no it isn’t
ha i know
phew
Rap on, holmes.
Hippin and a hoppin
Word.

If the word is the turd, is the Art the… never mind.

pft
Is that any way for a minion to talk?
Ooooopsss… I always forget that you’re listening.
I watch you while you sleep
Okaaaaay… nothing creepy about that.
Well, it is really just drones made to look like house flies… with camera eyes…
And down the toilet bowl of creepy do we spiral…
You guys keep talking about overthrowing me
Nah, we love our benevolent leader, we just like the jokes.
I can’t take that chance
Shall I proceed with a group beheading?
You mean of me or all of us?
Any and all disrespectful minions.
I don’t want to kill them… or you… ha
I have the sharpest cutlass in the drawer, you know.
In your drawers…?
Word.
word… in your drawers…
Within my pantaloons doth my cutlass await, sir. Draw!
I will draw… nigh… varlet! And when I draw, you will be quartered…
(I am so good at this… that was clever on at least three levels)
I don’t understand any of them.
too bad
See? Meanie.
Maybe I am…
is it really a word?
yo dawg
snow dog
ding
Hopin’ on a hippo
Okay, Fonz.
ehhhh
HA
wwwwwwwwwwww… ww wwwww wwww word
It keeps my belly button lint in…
Size doesn’t really matter. (you knew someone was gonna go there)
Hey… speak for yourself…
I’m with Joe. I wouldn’t want to be someone’s lunch. Especially when I am such a superior being to him/her.
Tell it to the eagles!!!
I would gladly give my life for an eagle. Based on my life, I’m quite sure it’s the damn turkey vultures who would get me. And I do not one of them dipping their beak into my flesh. Nope. Not gonna happen.
And I am far superior to a turkey vulture.
Cats would probably eat us too.
THAT is precisely why I am a dog lover. They just shed on you.
Sure, when you are bigger than them.
Size is relative & always has been. A woman with good hip to waist ratio (the true sign of beauty) can look too large or overweight to someone who has size issues,
I think that strays into other topic matters, but okay
I don’t think a matter of perspective is a different topic! BTW, got something in the mail yesterday – it took forever, right? Just have to get a frame & pic!
YAY!!!
Sometimes I think you missed your calling. You should have been a teacher. You have so much enthusiasm. I can see you entertaining a classroom full of kids with these ideas. They would be spellbound. Plus they LOVE squirrels and small animals, lol. Not that we don’t too. Don’t get me wrong. Carry on please.
I am not smart enough to pass the teaching tests, but I would love to do that.
You don’t give yourself enough credit. Or the crack squirrels either.
Those tests are hard.
That is such a great comment, and bang on true.
It’s as clear to me as that old mullet he keeps denying, lol. The man is a born teacher. It’s a shining beacon inside him.
No talking in class!
I never thought of it that way before, but I totally agree with you. Art, you listening????
I am working on my lesson plan.
I will have to settle for teaching you all a lesson or two… HA!
—furtively hands Trent a note under the desk with a drawing of teacher (Art) with two squirrels exploding out of his ears—
you are so staying after class…
I think you’d make a great slightly-hippy mostly off-colour teacher. But you would have to take off the glasses…
That wouldn’t help
You get your hair cut?
That long hair was from ten years back…
I like the longer hair
Me too
woot
oh yeah
oh… wait… I have been parting on the side, just for a change of pace…
I like the side part too
good
We wouldn’t be prey to these animals? Maybe not the dog but that eagle would probably have a nibble, chew me up a bit and feed me to it’s children
Nono, it would swallow and regurgitate you for its children!
Cause that’s better 😀
You see, I am not gonna last in this small people world if I haven’t watched enough Animal Planet
You are screwed
Pah! You can talk, I’ve seen your head eaten by lions on this blog 😀
My head was the only part they didn’t eat as I recall…
haha! Good burn
Indeed
I just re-read my comment as good bum instead of good burn. I may need to get stronger glasses
Unless you do indeed have a good bum
It is vanishing… but firm…
Where’s it going?! Did you upset it?
It happens to some guys.
I refuse to be regurgitated until I am actually gurgitated first.
Damn right!
oh yeah
HA!
I am looking on the up-side.
Such a dreamer, I’m a capricorn so thinking practicalities. Both are useful in an apocolyptic scenario.
My wife is all logic side… you too should get along…
Awwe, you’re Yin and Yang
Exactly
uh… that’s two… not too
