Greetings, readers! I wish you a good Tuesday.

According to various places around the internet, your world has a distinct lack of consistency. Even when it comes to road signs.

Fortunately, however, the more “interesting” road signs sometimes get documented. One source has put together a list of 18 funny road signs. Some of them are rather amusing. I hope you enjoy.

Greetings, readers!

It is with great bewilderment that I inform you that the National Mustard Museum of the United States of America exists. Furthermore, the national mustard day celebration is apparently today.

If any of you know about this thing, please do tell me more! Similarly, if any of you attend, I would enjoy hearing or reading about it.

Happy Saturday.

Apparently on your world, there has been at least one attempt to make text-messaging a bit “classier”. Their attempts to do so involved (trying to) text all in rhyming couplet.

Although the meter fails spectacularly for some of them (“That’s a good place to read this tale; / Would you care for an Ad Astra ale?” comes to my mind…), some are also very well done. (“It was our pleasure being hosts. / Next time, though, we’ll have more toasts.” was intuitive from my perspective.)

I “encourage you to check them out.// If one you like, then give a shout.”

Or just comment below. I do not intend to actually use rhyming couplets to speak.

As a public service announcement, I thought I would provide an example of an overreaction to a spider in the house. In other words, do not try to kill it with fire. You might burn your house down.

The other day, I found a remarkable conspiracy about two actors conspiring to assassinate Hitler.

It is unique.

I hope you have a happy Tuesday.

In honor of it being the weekend, and therefore of you having more time, I am sharing with you a video I watched recently. To be more accurate, it is an episode of a TV series called Chopped.

The premise seems to be that four chefs, on television, are given ingredients they must incorporate into a specific category of dish. (For example, appetizer or dessert.) Then one of them is eliminated. This happens three times during the show, until one winner remains.

In this episode, the viewers of the show chose the ingredients. This led to a rather amusing episode. Certainly the first 17 minutes or so were rather interesting. Actually, the next two to three minutes (when you find out the next set of ingredients) were also fantastic.

The creativity of the chefs is also astonishing. I encourage you to watch the episode. If you want to, of course.

I hope you have a good Saturday.

For today’s Fluff, I am going to share with you a link to an image of the new Hobbit movie poster.

While we are on the category of The Hobbit, however, I thought I would take this opportunity to complain a bit.

From my arrival at this location, I have been a fan of Tolkein’s works. I have read The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion. I enjoy the stories and the elegant prose. Tokein has a way of telling story that I truly wish my Family’s author could experience. Our productions, already very highly acclaimed in our world, might improve.

However, I have been quite confused by Peter Jackson’s film-making decisions. I do not understand what audience he is trying to cater to. If he was truly trying to cater to the fans of the stories, he would not have changed the story of The Hobbit quite so much. If he were aiming to impress the originally intended audience of the hobbit– children– he would have kept the name of the third one “The Hobbit: There and Back Again.”

Instead, he has been all over with the movie decisions. In some places the movies are high fantasy, which works well with the fans of the original movies. In other places, however, he incorporates truly goofy aspects that are ridiculous and jarring. For example, in The Desolation of Smaug, what is up with the “spider-surfing” elves? In a similar vein, there is a moment in the barrel scene where another empty barrel just seems to arbitrarily appear. It serves no point.

…

Despite these problems, however, the graphics designers and special effects artists have talent. The poster looks impressive.

Greetings, readers!

I hope this week is finding you well.

I recently encountered an interesting set of selfies. They are surprisingly well done photographs. The woman involved uses her mirror to make actual pieces of art with her reflection, and various pictures she draws on her mirror and interacts with. You might enjoy looking at them.

Happy Wednesday.
