A Cure For What Ails You

I've been burdened recently with an inconvenient surplus of money, energy and patience, and a troubling lack of splitting headaches. How fortunate then that it's Ekka time.

spongebobs galore


In addition to relief from the ailments above I've had my refreshing yearly dose of cowshit on my boots and smell of hay and livestock, quite the panacea for a country girl city-bound for over a decade, and the cattle shed provided the kids with an unforgettable lesson in telling the difference between boys and girls.

One of the treats this year was The Human Cannonball, or as the Curious Snail would have it, The Human Lady Cannonball. Yes, the projectile is a gal, a 21 year old American lass who continues the family tradition of being shot into the air, apparently. I lent my support by having the bejeesus scared out of me when the cannon fired and ramming my steak burger into my face. What better way to show solidarity with the sisterhood than wearing a barbeque sauce "smile" from ear to ear?

Mrs Robot said...

That's right, Cheryl -- they're not watching anyone else, just you. ;)

Tim Bailey said...

No! They're all watching me! Me, dammit!

Mrs Robot said...

*sigh* How predictable.

Mrs Robot said...

Infinitely creepier than the Bobs were the Barts, whose eyes were everywhere, but looked at no one. Spotted the odd terrorist that day, too.

Unknown said...

Oh, dear. Those Barts do look disturbing... do you always try to capture the stuff of nightmares on camera?

Mrs Robot said...

Yes. :)

Tim Bailey said...

Mrs Robot said...
