I've Gone (Completely) Insane

I read a number of blogs regularly, and I read some as a matter of random chance. I sometimes click on that "next blog" button that appears at the top of some blogs when I'm up for a something new.

Recently while looking at a "random to me" blog called The Architect's Newpaper I saw ... something that filled my long-empty, lonely heart with insatiable, burning, Jimmy Carter-like lust.

Oh, how I long to have the objects I found. I would give up donuts, ice cream, Mom's homemade pie, McDonald's French Fries, cheap internet broadband, and things I don't have to give up, like six pack abs, or a full head of hair... Oh heck, I'd even give up income tax refunds in order to possess them, such is how deep I yearn for them...

orange cones made into ultra modern looking chairs that resemble a pair of geese
Michael Savona’s Goose Cones playfully reconfigures orange construction cones as a line of crossing geese.

I wonder what Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, Edward Thorndike, Alfred Kinsey, Noam Chomsky, Hermann Rorschach, Sigmund Freud, or even Linda Freeman (Jane Lynch) would make of this obsession... or is a fatal attraction?

I think you need to make a plea for them. I bet, for a decent price, you could get a few. :) I can't wait for this story to unfold!

AliceKay said...

Yep, I think you need some of these critters.

I have found some interesting blogs by hitting the "next blog" button. But finding goose cones has got to top anything I have ever found!

That is so creative! They should pay that guy for his idea and put those out instead of real cones! Who could run over cute little geese? :)

Lickety Splitter said...

Wow, a willingness to sacrifice doughnuts and Mickey Dees fries. It has to be true love!

oh yeah... you SO need those....

Queenie Jeannie said...

Seriously cool Iggy! This was totally destiny.......

Celticspirit said...

You most definitely need those cones for your collection. You could stick one on your front porch and dress it up according to seasons! I've seen this done with ceramic geese but your would be much more original. You just might start a new fad!

You just clicked on that blog randomly and that came up? How lucky!!!

Martha said...

It's as if they were made especially for you! Definitely odd that you clicked "next blog" and came up with this - there are no coincidences you know!

I absolutely love this post, the goose cones are just too cute. Wish I knew how to make one of those.

When I hit the "next" button on other blogs all I get is foreign language ones also, hmmmmm

Those things are too cool.

I think you do need them.

OMG! Have had computer problems and hadn't been able to get here--was worth the wait! I am still giggling--and hope you can manage to have a goose cone of your very own! Awesome! I have never tried the next blog button....hummm? ;)
