Behind the Scenes (Labor Trouble)

The winner of the nomination process was "Behind the Scenes", and I was going to show some of the happier goings on here at Bent Objects Corporation, but there have been some problems lately.

Ever since word has gotten out about my book deal for next year, there has been grumbling about "the absence of profit sharing", and "difficult working conditions", which were "deserving of hazard pay."

I had a shot scheduled for today starring a peanut butter cracker, but he got into some real trouble on his way past the picket line.




Perhaps after we come to an agreement of sorts, I'll be able to post something with a happier tone. And don't feel too bad for the peanut butter cracker, because I would have eaten him anyway.

Shown here are Lawrence Lemon, Circus Peanut, Rosemary, Mustard, and one of the peanut gang.



Yeah, I know I'm a sort of a whacko, but that's why you come here, isn't it?

Bobo, the Missing Clown

He's been found. Clues seem to point towards Sergei, the Performing Bear.

The photographic records of all the Circus Peanut Circus Tragedies can be found in the label section.

The Terrific Trapeze Twins

Another tragedy at the Circus Peanut Circus.

Another accident happened today.

Let us have a moment of silence for "Harry of the High Dive."



Please avert your eyes, and make your way to the nearest exit.

Yet Another Circus Peanut Circus Tragedy

Yeah, haven't settled on an idea for the ice cube yet, so here's the latest installment on the ever tragic Circus Peanut Circus.

More terrible circus happenings here, here, here, here, and it started all here,

Fidel the Fire-Eater

Another Circus Peanut Tragedy. I really think these guys need to stay out of show business.

More tragedy here.


For the record- Circus peanuts burn very strangely, and very easily.

Rethinking the acronym- S.O.S.A.D.

Strangely Orange Snack Appreciation Day. When I was writing that, I wasn't thinking about the acronym, but I obviously should have given it more thought (but, as is my habit, I'm making most of this up as I go along).

First, thanks to Scott, On with the blather, Elena, and Katie Alender for pointing out the acronym. Before this movement really takes off, I think that we should give that some more thought. I mean, this should be a happy day, right? But SOSAD doesn't sound so happy. I really like Katies' creation of OSNAP (Orange Snack Nibblers Appreciation Day), even though I'm choosing to do make a whole day of it, which is more than just a nibble. I realize that any sane people out there who join in will just join in symbolically with a cheez-it, and/or a glass of juice.

Anyway, please feel free to leave your opinion in the comment section.

While you're thinking about OSNAP, or SOSAD, or whatever, here's another poor circus peanut. One of the commenters (cm?) was asking where I got my inspiration for these. Well, this one is courtesy of too many cartoons watched as a child (but it's finally paying off for me!).

He had always been so sure footed...

Another fatal accident at the Circus Peanut Circus.

Gruesome. Just gruesome.

More Tragedy at the Circus

There are many people in the world who have jobs that are dangerous. If they have a bad day, it's really a bad day. I'm glad I don't have one of those jobs.

The Circus Peanut Circus

More images of unfortunate circus peanuts to come...



For those of you around the globe who may be unfamiliar with Circus Peanuts, go here. I happen to find nothing appealing about them at all except their cheery color. Others in my house disagree with me, and gobble them up before I have a chance to use them for my blog.
