Creativity on Fire
Unicorns are cool, but a 2-foot tall aqua blue horse with a pink mane is even cooler.
Check out the endearing equine in action at his new home in Agua Dulce, California:

I fear it.
I embrace it.
I let it keep me up at night.
I poke at it with a stick.
I get skeeved when I have to
touch it and pull out an
old pair of pajamas to
wrap up my rat
and bury
him.
I abhor it.
I adore it. I really
don’t adore it I just
liked the way it
rhymed.
I hang doll
heads from my
ceiling fan a
shrunken skull from
my rearview
window.
I want it to go away.
I make it come
for bugs.
I let it sit there on
the porch I
shoo it with
a swatter.
I try to tell myself it is
the ultimate spiritual
experience and there’s no
way to get out of it yet I
still
freak out to think
I may one day
not be me. I
draw
cute little
skeletons
on tricycles.

Custom gifts are the best gifts, and a custom portrait from Ryndustries lets you gift a whole group in one fell swoop!
Choose from cartoon people (with flesh) or cartoon skeletons, all depicted with the quirky and fun Rynski twist.
The finished product is a full-color, 8 x 10 JPEG in high-res 600 dpi suitable for framing. Opt for a background with any text, design or color you like.
All you need to do is send photos of the folks or pets you want depicted, outline any color or background choices and give me a week to create so you can enjoy. Rush orders available in a pinch, as are specific activities you’d like your cartoons do be doing, such as running, jumping, climbing a tree, or playing in a band.

Now that people have become wise to Nigerian money scam e-mails and “click here” buttons that infect computers with the latest virus, deceptive online practices are getting sneakier.
One sucked me in the other day, promising I could win $1,000 if I submitted a cute photo of my pet. Since I obsess over my dog Sawyer to the point of probably needing psychological help, I chomped on that offer with a few clicks of the mouse, a submission form, and uploading one of the 5,428 endearing photos I have of the pooch.
One thousand dollars could buy a heck of a lot of dog treats.
The junk e-mail began immediately. I was first encouraged to tell all my friends, family members and people I might have passed on the street 12 years ago to vote for my dog’s endearing photo. After all, I was told, the only way I could win that $1,000 was to amass the most votes from fellow Internet suckers.
Anyone who wanted to vote, of course, had to fill out their own submission form that disclosed their name, e-mail, phone number, blood type, shoe size and date of birth. They would then be immediately slammed with their own set of junk e-mail.
Dogs have a keen sense of humor, so it only makes sense they would be governed by a set of laws that are equally humorous, albeit in an ironic and twisted way.
Loosely based on Murphy’s Law for the human universe that tells us anything that can go wrong undoubtedly will, Murphy’s laws for dogs share the same clear-cut philosophy. As with any set of laws, some of the Murphy laws for dogs are broad enough to cover canines across the globe while others have regional variations that stick close to Tucson – literally. Such as the jumping cholla law.
No matter how small or carefully hidden a cactus patch may be, if one exists, the dog will find it. He will not find this aforementioned patch while sniffing softly and treading lightly, either. Said cactus patch will be found while he bolts off to chase a rabbit. The rabbit, of course, is familiar with the patch and hops merrily through the little non-needled nooks and crannies along a tiny, meandering path. The dog, of course, comes back with stickers in his tongue. The said cactus patch will be jumping cholla. The vet will inevitably be closed.
