  1. Of course, the sleezer gave them expired food XD

  2. Chuck acknowledged that the bucket “survival food” was old, with the potential of being bad, but admitting it still had the potential for being good! 🤣
    Con in Pasadena? I had to check, Cali, not TX, tho they have smaller shows at the college, I figured not likely, as Pasadena/Deer Park is in the news again, for all the wrong reasons (again), after an SUV crashed into a LNG pipeline, turning it into a blowtorch.

  3. Dangit! I *know* I put in my name and info!

534 – Compliments To The Cook

[EDIT: Dawn is nursing a sprained wrist so we'll be pushing back a week. Hopefully join us for a new page on Oct. 9th]

Hearkening back to the events of page 269!

Meanwhile, this weekend we're bringing Zombie Ranch to the wide-open spaces. Comparatively. The trade volumes will be among our offerings at the annual Pasadena ARTWalk at Booth #32 in the shady lanes of Green Street.

Draw, pardner…

So I’m still not very good at drawing.

Here’s a situation where that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Behold Drawception.com, which has apparently been around for many years but which I stumbled upon recently by pure accident. It is described as… well, here’s the blurb from their own About page:

Drawception is a free web game that combines drawing with the classic “Telephone Game”. As a phrase is drawn and described by players it changes in unexpected ways. Miscommunication and hilarity ensues!

Basically, when you register and choose to play you are presented with either a picture needing a caption, or a caption needing a picture. You are provided with no context beyond what is immediately in front of you, and only once the game completes do you get to see the whole progression and where your submission falls within it.

It’s like the parable of the blind men and the elephant, except when all’s said and done you may find out that it started out being about cockroaches. The site provides their #2 game of all time as an example of the insanity: https://drawception.com/game/ZODEsT1ym7/sonic-rainboom/

You generally get about 10 minutes to draw something using their in-site editor. There’s paid upgrades but eh, the free version has been fun enough for me, and there’s even a slim chance I might get better at drawing since they’re making practicing it fun.

Or maybe I’ll just stick to captions.
