Vintascope Death By Scrabble by Charlie Fish She plays SWEATIER, using all her letters. 24 points plus a 50 point bonus. If it wasn't too hot to move I would strangle her right now. I am getting sweatier. She tells me she has lousy letters. She plays FAN, with the F on a double-letter, and gets up to fill the kettle and turn on the air conditioning. It's the hottest day for ten years and my wife is turning on the kettle. She sits back down with a heavy sigh and starts fiddling with her letters again. The rage gets to my fingertips and passes. She plays READY on a double-word for 18 points, then goes to pour herself a cup of tea. I steal a blank tile from the letter bag when she's not looking, and throw back a V from my rack. She asks me if I cheated. I really, really hate her. She plays IGNORE on the triple-word for 21 points. The steam rising from her cup of tea makes me feel hotter. My wife sleeps all the time. If only there was some way for me to get rid of her. I spot a chance to use all my letters. I have to test this. Stupid.
How To Be A Beautiful Woman Be thin. Not so thin that you actually might look like you have an eating problem, in which case you will be told to “eat a cheeseburger” or called “bag of bones,” but thin. You should be very slender everywhere except for the essential parts of you which have pleasing, soft curves. Your arms shouldn’t show even the slightest fat deposits, for example, but your bust should be full and butt be high and round. If you don’t have these attributes naturally, you can get implants, but they had better look completely natural — if not, you’re going to be a “fake bitch” with “big fake tits.” And speaking of skin, yours is flawless. Don’t wear makeup. Work out, of course, because you have to keep your body in flawless shape, but you don’t do it too much. Wear clothes that are flattering and fit your body well, but never look as though you are trying too hard or spending too much money. Above all, you are humble.
YOU HAD ONE JOB! Newspaper Blackout Brazilian ad agency uses blackout poetry to sell soap and deodorant The agency Salve recently did a campaign focused entirely around blackout poetry for their client, Natura. Here’s a bad Google translation of the messaging: Tododia has hidden poetry. Probably no coincidence that I’m headed to Brazil this weekend to talk about what’s stealing like an artist and what’s stealing like an ad agency. —Austin A blackout by David Rogers, a student at VCFA David very kindly let me know about a fun glitch using the TurboScan iPhone app: “Sometimes the transformation from Blackout to ScanOut gives the poem a subtle emphasis that’s transformative.” Funny enough, I already had the same app on my phone, so I started using the effect on some of my own poems. —Austin This tumblr is now four years old!
5 friends pose for the same picture every 5 years for 30 years In 1982, five guys at a cabin on Copco Lake in California posed for a picture. Nothing unusual about that… They continued getting together there every year, and in 1987 they thought it would be be funny to recreate that old 1982 picture. Again, not terribly unusual… Then 1992 came, and the guys were still friends and were still making their yearly trip to the lake. Will they meet again for the photo in 2017? We plan on doing this for the rest of our lives, no matter what — Up until there’s one guy just sitting in the same pose! Check out the guys’s site about these pics.
