An unrepeatable answer

So I asked James why fluorescent markers don't scan, ( you'd like James, he knows EVERYTHING )

And it is because they contain.. oh bugger, I've already forgotten it. Something about fluorescent stuff that reflects back as many protons as it absorbs, and you would need a scanner with a black light source to read them, but then it would only read black and white as it couldn't reflect back any colour.

I had to highlite something just for the sensation of seeing the protons do their thing. But now I feel like they are cheating my eyes, and I don't understand why.

Have a sketch. I know were I am with a sketch.


Exactly !

Bikers on trains

No where near as scary as 'snakes on planes'...

...but the fluorescent yellow gear still had my attention.


And, as always, the colour didn't scan. I used my best highliter pen as well. Someone explain that to me. It's like the Emperor's clothes. Maybe it just tricks us into seeing it as bright, when in fact it is mass hysteria, and one day the scales will fall from our eyes and we will see that it's just another ordinary yellow with a degree in psychology.

Can a colour do further education ? How do they pay for their digs ? A weekend job on a fruit farm ?

I'll shut up now.

Cats and jokes and barrel scrapings.

Ha ! The sketch I was going to post, and had the writing to accompany it all sorted out for.... I haven't even scanned yet !

And as there is currently about 400 miles between me and my scanner, that's not gong to happen soonish.

So what have I got you haven't seen yet ?

Have you seen this guy taking his cat somewhere ?


Poor kitty.

Or how about this guy laughing ?


That's quite an old one, that one.

How about this one ?


The return of Bluebeard ?

Now that made me smile.

Lady in beige

Is sitting next to me ( not quite ) cheek to cheek. There's nobody here. It's just you and me....


... and your handbag.

Didn't that hurt ?

There are a few places I can think of where having a tattoo scores high on the 'ouch' factor, and on your neck has to be right up there.



Although we can all, or course, think of worse. 

But seriously Mate, didn't that hurt ?

Jacket

Like this guy's pose, as he checked his messages.


Then he moved and I thought, "awww".... as it might have been a good sketch. Posting it anyway. Am getting into hands at the moment.

Rockabilly Rebels and wide mouthed frogs

You don't see many of them about here these days do you ?
