Phenomenon

I don't know about you but I might consider an alien abduction to be some sort of a phenomenon. Not knowing if I'll be contributing to the next Illustration Friday theme or not, I want to take the opportunity to say Merry Christmas to everybody.

Spent

You know what they say, Easy come, easy go..." And she seems to take such joy in it.

Racing

Yep, all you really need is a pair of goggles and a nifty silk scarf and if nothing else, you at least look fast...

Proverb

I'm running a little behind with this week's Illustration Friday submission. The theme of course reminded me (as I'm sure it did you as well) of that well known Chinese proverb that states, "He who waits with mouth open, hoping for roast duck to fly in, will have a very long wait."

Frankly I think it's way more plausible than the infinite monkey theorem that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.

My money's on the duck.

Immovable

An immovable object need not necessarily be large. Sometimes an object is immovable because it has been rendered thus by external forces. Man, sometimes I'm so philosophical I could just...
And thus, my Illustration Friday submission for this week.

Satellite

Isn't that nice? He has his own personal satellite?

Paisley

Now I like paisley as much as the next guy bitbut I also believe in a little moderation in all things.
I'm getting this out a little late for last week's Illustration Friday theme. Oh well...

Ripple

I wanted to avoid water for this Illustration Friday assignment - too predictable. Now this may not qualify as your typical "ripple effect" but I think a "domino effect" qualifies as a close second.

Trail

This week's Illustration Friday contribution. I never could figure out how my mom always found out when we got into things. Guess I wasn't too good at hiding the evidence.

Early

The Illustration Friday theme this week is 'Early". Some folks don't handle early so well. Particularly if the sun isn't up yet.

Ahead

The theme for this week on Illustration Friday was 'ahead' but perhaps I should have labeled this 'paranoia' instead...

Detective

This week's Illustration Friday contribution. I recalled that detectives used to be called Gum Shoes and thus my inspiration.

Rescue

So much for good intentions. Sometimes we're almost better off duking it out with the sharks...

Expired

Expired is the Illustration Friday theme for this week. Don't you love it when you go to pour a glass of milk and you get lumps?

Mud

You know, I'm sure his mother won't notice. This brought back memories. Now all he has to do is leave is shoes stuck in the mud and the memory is pretty much complete.

Clumsy

My apologies to all the waiters out there. I'm sure that some of you are very light on your toes...

Renewal

I know it's a new year and time for resolutions and the like, but sometime a new tie does not a renewal make. Good try though.
