Commandments - revised

Victorian Hills Commandments
(actual quotes/directives)
11 marry a rich lady
12 grow a pair
13 be heterosexual
14 stop wearing a hoodie
15 ballet is only for girls
16 "you can rub it" [defense of child marriage]
17 some people are "enemies"
18 diversity is limited
19 'helper elves' are invariably half clothed
20 race has a dollar value
21 "try to think clearly"

Apparently kids and religions are equally useful:

Have one so you can hide behind it

"Allow everyone to be who they want to be"

#Epicirony #isthatirony

Religion is still in play

And evidently no one really gives a damn about religion (theirs or anyone else's)
Again (always), religion is all about sex

I'm told appearance counts for nothing at all

Phew! :)

It's real cuz the (faux) packaging says so(!)

"Try to think clearly" ;)

Another price hike...

This one in response to testing a theory...
Apparently this isn't covered by "try to think clearly"...
I promise I'll try to do better... ;)
See A truly Canadian business and A truly Canadian business ii

You may choose freely from our list of approved commitments

We've sabotaged all the others
#choosefreely

Where race has a dollar value

"Try to think clearly"
Addendum: currently about two twenty-five a day, apparently...

"A truly Canadian business" (local authorities) ii

Attendants: "government regulations"

Receipts are spotty (wasn't meant to be a 'sting')...
Thanks partly to those same 'local authorities' for the comparison (second column), who advised me to simply 'go to another store'...
This is (partly) for the girls on the corner, who (again) those same 'local authorities' believe bought 'too many cartons' at the local 'reservation'...

Victorian Hills: zeitgeist

"What are you, GAY?"

Moving goalposts

Well, if we can't get him to be heterosexual, we'll at least pretend we were supportive all along - just forget that part about screening out homosexuals #coughcough

"A truly Canadian business" (local authorities)

Attendants: "try to think clearly"

Confirmed:

Victorian Hills is the domain of a uh, certain religion
At least in this part of the country, 'diversity' is window dressing indeed

Exercise ii

Him: I can't do that, I'm so poorly coordinated
Me: which means you'll miss more often; which means you'll be running after the ball more often; which means even *more* exercise - where's the problem in that?
#socialtemplates

Oh... I should 'ping' once in a while

(More) faux concern incoming from various directions...

Old hat

Him: "In the Koran, women are gold"
Me: Er, have you even *read* the Koran...!?
Him: [no reply]
#myfaithwillshieldmyignorance

"How the TV warmed the Siamese cat" (Freestone Wilson)

Likewise, my idea of exercise: two hours of sinking baskets from the three point line (for many weeks I did this)
Victorian Hills response: send a pack of elves to help me do it the 'right way' (which didn't last one day)
Again, the 'helper' people obcessed with 'social templates'

And flew the bunting

Window dressing overhaul under way, per inventory (Victorian Hills Commandments)
Yielding only... *new* window dressing, of course

Faux Canada : Victorian Hills

Faux neighbours, faux professionals as far as the eye can see... #shrug

Твиттея ii

I imagine someone panicked, thinking Твиттея is letter for letter "Twitter" (not allowed in your profile name) #lmao #doofus

And for the nth time ;)

Diversity hypocrisy

Those 'diversity' folks who don't want 'too much' diversity, such as those who might make them think too hard

Kill as bait

Very confident a gamer could figure this out. Maybe some day I'll draw the reveal ;)

Твиттея

Again an alphabetical/linguistic mishmash : 'tveet-tyah
Guessing "Twitter" would be : Твитор

Mirror of vanity, definitive

We will help you - or else

'Diversity' does not exclude gamers, etc.

Many people have yet to learn this, evidently

Masonite

Forget paper ...

Currently far more interest/expectation/demand for Mirror of vanity : spiderville variation

Ample evidence, so will go with the flow

Studio: chalkboard discoveries

Making a very smooth chalk board (to about 300 grit):
- sanding painted surfaces: if the sandpaper clogs, chalk the surface first
- fine sanding: chalk as an abrasive grinds to about 300 grit

Figurative still not allowed

Prince of twilight iii

Guy: They don't get it?
PoT: A matter of limits, dear boy
PoT: Something they won't allow in others, of course
PoT: Now I hope I didn't hurt your bum too badly, did I?
Guy: I dunno
Guy: Can we do it again?

Background story

Has switched locations several times, by now - though I think it's important for people to have uh, justifications? :)

Encore

Notes

1. the physical world is 'specular' rather than 'linear'
2. few artists will say backgrounds aren't an 'issue'? (to say the very least?)
3. res up and 'render til you drop'
4. you're crunching form, ambient light and atmospherics all at once ;)

Still smaller canvas 100 x 50 px
