Two Extra Ounces April 17, 2007 |
We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
The Aboriginals owned the land, but the Europeans had a hostile takeover...
Now the western courts try to make allowances for Aboriginal customs.
I can't read what's in the bottom left thought bubble. Anyone? (no photoshop on this computer, either.)
I love the giraffe out the window, but I wish the artist hadn't felt compelled to label it.
is that teacher taking a dump?
Captain - I can only read the first line "I am so smart", and I think the last line says "la la la la la".
I think the person who needs a geography lesson is being portrayed as a bimbo - surely not the artist (self-portrait).
I like the simplistic version of historical events.
Yay A canberra find...that's where I live!
Not so bad....if we could read the printing....
The bubble you can't quite read is a little sing-song, my bf sings it sometimes, it goes "I am so smart, i am so smart, S-M-A-T" hence the la la la. I don't know where he got it from, i'd never heard (or seen) anyone else sing it lol!
Actually i think it maaaaay have been Homer in the Simpsons who sang it...
I too love the giraffe. I know there are camels in Oz, but surely not giraffes?
The whole doodle brings back boredom in 8th grade History/Geography classes. "Proposition: NOTHING." Damn straight. The weariness of a 2 PM class, just waiting for the bell to freedom to ring. And some smartass teacher being sarcastic, trying to build up her own flagging self-esteem at the expense of the students. We had a lot of those, that year. Then over the summer a lot of the "Mrs" teachers came back as "Miss" with a new surname...must have not been the students' problem, after all!!
For some reason, male teachers didn't often feel the need to flay the skin off our bones with sarcasm like the females. They might yell, but they usually just either gave you extra work or threatened to fail you.
What does the thought bubble next to the person at the desk in front of the Proposition say? Nirvana? Oh Now I Think I See It. Does it say "nothing?" Is that person a student, or another portrait of the teacher, this time at her desk?
My flatmate does this exact same thing when she is studying- draws little pictures to help her remember stuff. I just laugh and laugh.
My favorite part is the giraffe in the window. At first, I thought it was a snake.
I'm wondering if this school has windows where actual giraffes walk by. Could be. I once subbed in a school out in the country, where cows were grazing right outside the classroom windows. And a boy actually escaped out the window on my watch that day. hahaha! I would too if I were in his place, a senior in the last week of school in the springtime. Heck the following week and from then on, he could loll away the days in the pasture with the cows to his heart's content. That's probably what he's still doing to this day. Either that, or he's lolling away his days on the streets of Iraq.
Claaaaaaa-aaasss... Claaaaaa-aaaasss....
YOOOOUUUUU SUUUUUUUUCK!!!!
Thank You.
The thought bubble next to PROPOSITION appears to says "nearva". Huh?
My fav is the fluffy thing next to the giraffe passing the window. It says "oopsies" underneath. Bwahahahah!
Love the giraffe in the window.
The 'die children!' remark is disturbing (shut up u suck??)
Yikes
Nice butt on that stick woman there...
@ baby basil: female teacher + sarcasm = guilty as charged?
(Is SALT'S new bride among us?)
@(A big nose in deed)
what??? i don't get it. SALT got married?
Hell yea NZ is bigger than Aus!... Well maybe just better :D
@ Me--NZ, like Wales, would be bigger than Australia if someone ironed it out.
I love the fact that my Welsh friends speak of "going to Britain".
@ Baby basil - Wales would be bigger than Australia if someone ironed it out? I can see New Zealand...but Wales doesn't come so easily. it must have some tall hills.
Tis find makes me smile. I love how there is a rainbow by the teacher's smiling statement "die children! shut up, u suck", and it appears as though the copier machine is smoking.
@ Michelle in sunny Brighton, England
I goes, "I am smart - S.M.R.T!"
I clearly remember it from an episode of The Simpsons. I sing it whenever I say something dumb.
...on a side note, when my girlfriend says something dumb I respond, "Well, at least you're pretty..."
It's nice to know that the phrase "YOU SUCK" is now an international insult.
