A conversation between friends

As a refresher and also to inform any intrepid adventurist who aspires to become a Yard Art field reporter, submissions are emailed directly to the lifeshighwaygame@gmail.com. When I receive the email, I will respond in someway to let you know I have your submission and it is in my kitty. On occasion, I have found one lurking in spam folder so if you don't hear from me, please inquire.

The following is a classy exchange between diane of Loess is More and myself

diane: Sweetlordb​abyjesus (I love the part when I know I am going TO LOVE what I am going to  see)

Ok so we are Sunday drinking in a friend's backyard and I have to submit some pics. This head thing they call a "marpu".


lifeshighway: I am so excited by this picture, I almost peed by pants
diane:I peed so you better have

We are a classy bunch here at The Yard Art Game.

Score
  • Although beheaded by a Savannah vampire hunter, Marpu still enjoys are few brews with his buds if someone would would please fill his beer hat (give a vampire a break): 1 point + 1 point for dressed
  • Sweet little ceramic baby book, apparently Marpu needs a daytime story: 1 point
  • What looks like half an owl's head (BAD BAD Marpu): 1 point
Subtotal: 4 points


Creativity Bonus

Aside from the fact, that it looks like I am working on weird week, I love Marpu, yet I do feel a bit badly about the owl: 4 points

Total: 8 points
No, Manatee, No! Undead is not a way to go through life.

The moment as a mother, where you feel so proud of your kid's life choices:

  1. I'm pretty sure Marpu ate half the owl and possibly also the baby who was reading that book... and washed them down with an ice-cold brewski.

  2. Not sure why Marpu needs a hardhat, but thinking maybe a little brain showing.

  3. Thanks for the visit...I am the opposite. Gardening is all, plus architecture, structures of yesterday. Until then...

  4. Since vampires sleep during the daylight Marpu still needs his bedtime story. That last guy looks like he needs a wetnap.

  5. Sorry to go all 80's movie on everyone, but it really looks like the monster at the end of Dreamscape (a rad Dennis Quaid movie).

  6. hoodyhoo, I think you are right and he shows no remorse.

    gwgt, marpu needs a hardhard to hold his double beers.

    antigonum cajun, you are welcome. As you can see... we rarely mention the plants. Although I do notice them, if the landscaping is well done. It is rarely well done.

    Tufa Girl, true, I guess if you sleep during the day you night night story would still be a bedtime story.

    El Gaucho, OH you are right! except for the party hat. We love 80's movies.

  7. This mother is very proud of her offspring's talents and interests, however weird and insane they may be. Besides, I like vampires, as long as they don't stick their bloody, toothy mouths in my face (or neck). Actually, i'm not too fond of the last one. Even Marpu had to close his eyes!

  9. That there looks like voodoo. I should know...

  10. Fabulous, though I fear it would put me of my G&T to have him staring at me.

  11. Diane - yes, dear, you should always turn a Marpu into an award. That will keep him from eating you.

    Laura - I heard somewhere that you are a voodoo queen - someone named Betty said she hears strange noises coming from your house.

  12. " After a long, tough day at the construction site, Marpu settles down for a few beers, half an owl and falls fast asleep before he even gets his bedtime story."

  15. Holy crap! I finally took the time to look at this blog, and this is insane. Good work!

  17. Ok, so I am back from my horse thingy. Thanks everyone for keeping the ball rolling.

    Diane, the manatee dressed for the event.

    Nice job, Jerri.

    Laura, I agree it is probably voodoo because a half an owl head has powerful mojo.

    Owen, glad you stopped by. Hope you will come again.

    ah Mom L, you make me blush

  18. Does Marpu ever sober up enough, do you think? You know, to remember that he ate his owl buddy? Or is that why he drinks?

    ReplyDelete
  19. LH - welcome back! Hope you and your horse had fun.

    Bom - I know I'd drink if I ate half an owl.
