a moiré pattern, a huge bowl of meringue, ice cream and maple syrup and the brain.


I appear to have lost my brain and energy today, I am not sure where either has gone and with luck they will return soon. In order to restore my energy I have resorted to a huge bowl of meringue, ice cream and maple syrup (the proper stuff not the fake one that’s horrid). The dog insists that he too needs energy and tried to run off which my bowl but I managed to throw my body over it and stop him, although it did crush my meringue, ice cream and maple syrup a bit and I now look like I have been in a snow storm, and appear to be very popular with several of the local pigeons who it appears like meringue, ice cream and maple syrup almost as much as I do. My worry is that the cats are now stalking the pigeons so if they leap at them I will be clawed to bits rather than pecked to bits. Dad has suggested that he pins me down on the lawn overnight and I will be licked clean by slugs saving on water and soap and avoiding spreading meringue, ice cream and maple syrup all over the house. It can be a right old game getting that out of carpets.



As for my brain I think the best thing is too relate the brain into a movement, say a small electro magnetic device floating above a monorail that moves in very small and irregular movements which you can only monitor from some distance away. The small irregular movements represent thought. So in order to make a brain work we need to enhance this in order to see the movement or understand the thought.

Yes I can see you are already with me lets use a moiré pattern effect using slightly offset fine parallel lines that create a so called fringe effect.  As you will all know the moiré pattern when two sets of parallel lines are used will create lines of light and dark that greatly enhance the movement, thus a small meaningless thought like …… That bit of meringue looks just like Einstein’s head will be turned into a solution to the very perplexing issue of where has all the dark matter gone and is there any more maple syrup in the cupboard.

The one draw back to the moiré pattern effect is it uses the same part of my brain as the part that can not proof read my own writing so although I can detect small movements and solve the matters of the universe I sadly cant type………….. DAM. I think I need more meringue, ice cream and maple syrup.

  1. Is it just me or does that Meringue look like Bagpuss being electrocuted in a Chinese prison in an attempt to extract information on the whereabouts of Professor Yaffle?

    1. Now you come to mention it Mr H I think you have a point..... But with new super Dental bagfloss there is no need to worry about Professor Yaffle or those nasty stains on the prison wall any longer. They will just wipe away like magic.

  2. Bumferry Hogart appears to be as eccentric as your good self. And I had no idea there was fake maple syrup. What a world we live in.

    1. Mr H has a great Blog I recommend it too all. He is a master wit and has his feet on the ground. Yes he is not filled with helium......

      Sadly there is such a thing a fake maple syrup made with sugar and artificial sweeteners and the like, but it tastes so sweet it puts your teeth on edge. And I like sweet stuff too just look at what I had for pud.

    2. I am waiting for the aPPearance of the fake maple trEE. Then people can ask the question, "Witch, which came first, the fake maple syrup, or the fake maple tree?" to which the Witch wiLL say after much lee-guLL research, "By performing an international patent search, and reading wickedpedia, it most strangely appears that the fake maple syr came first, then it flowed up into the fake maple tree, and after flowing up, the syr turned into syrUP, hahahahahahahahaha!" said the Witch.

    3. A fake maple tree would be interesting. Here in the UK we have a tradition called dancing round the maypole which involves dressing up like an IDIOT on occasions and weaving in and out of one another heading in opposite directions clutching ribbons, creating an interesting pattern on the maypole. It we had a fake maple we could do something similar creating fake maypole dancing and people would say AH THAT'S SWEET

  3. I was just going to comment on how yummy that looks and then I saw Mr H's comment. I now find myself staring at the picture of meringue, ice cream and maple syrup, in the hopes that I may detect a tortured cat made from an old saggy cloth. Egads, I need to get a life!

    1. It is like looking at clouds and seeing a three headed man riding a bike who is very similar to that Bradley Wiggins, although admittedly he does not have three heads (I think). As for Bagpuss his shape was always a bit baggy anyway so it is easy to miss him in the meringue. Its like those cards with dots on, I learnt to say 12 to all of them it always makes a man in a white coat scribble notes down on a clipboard and shake his head

  4. When I saw your yellow picture I immediately thought it was elemental sulfur. That is just the chemist in me.

    1. It is the artificial light in the house, when I say artificial I mean not sunlight; not a fake light like the fake Maple tree.

      I am glad you think like a chemist it is what makes you such an important part of RATs....

  5. As a hypoglycemic, I cannot eat ice-cream. But YellowBoy and I stuffed ourselves with imported, Swedish caviar, cucumber and Frosted Flakes for dinner. My retiring cleaning girl, 17, is training my new cleaning girl, 14, and so I had no access to the kitchen. I did eat a few blueberry popsicles.
    Good luck with the clean-up...should I send my girls over?

    1. That sounds like an interesting dinner. It must be nice to be able to retire at 17; something most folk are not allowed to do, I think it sounds very civilized indeed. I think the plan in the UK is too make everyone retire at 71, not quite the same really.

      We have now cleaned up the mess but thanks for the offer.....

  6. As you described this concoction it sounded perversely good, yet disgustingly sickening at the same time. It reminded me of days gone by when I would smoke a lot of something and get hungry to the extreme.

    1. The concoction was perversely good, I would highly recommend it

      We are all very good here and do not smoke things or drink. The Ghost Writer says many moons ago he was required to sign the official secrets act and did things he is not allowed to tell me about, so had to keep his mind focussed on stuff... This meant smoking stuff was not a good move..

      Many thanks for calling by Mr Bird it is much appreciated, you are a popular man and have many blogs to visit

    1. Yes I still need to get round to visiting more of them, but blogging everyday plus the things of life make it difficult to do so....

      Good Luck
