A Grunty Guy Xmas

It has been 67 years since my last confession...

Duplicate !!

Over on Bench Bozo I talk about my Bench pressing workouts and usually keep "All Hail" for my experimental animations - but today I wanted to duplicate a post...here is "Deadlift Bozo"



Short and sweet about a judging question...if you did MORE than a lift called for ...would you still be called 'no lift' due to not following the rules of the lift??

Why I wanted to share it? --I really like the character I made in Amorphium..and the simplicity of it all !!

(in case you still don't get it--the Deadlift is a smooth movement to the top of the thighs only--the snatch is an olympic lift that goes over the head )

Surreal Estates

Dreaming is nicer than being awake... at Surreal Estates !

You'll say "What The Hell???" Like NEVER Before !

Get yer motor runnin !!

A short rumination on going nowhere fast !

Edit: Go Ahead, YOU combine cars-fried chicken in Biodiesel...and frustrating motoring in under a minute and show whimsy !

Done??

Halloween Dream

What was scary was, when the warning came true...
and I was behind the wheel of a machine...

Dreamt in a Truckee California Hotel during my small market
radio days..I had worked at a "Ka-HI" this was when I worked at KHOE..
I actually found that there was a K-HUM too...wouldn't that have been rich
to have worked at KAY---HI--HO and HUM...

Words...I love em !

All it needs is an ending !

What I thought was attention deficit disorder, was thankfully... only merging in and out of other layers of reality--alternate dimensions-- and bending the cosmic wallpaper...

whew ! I'm relieved ...I thought it was something serious !

2012

Tired of Holiday decorations and New Years ads popping up before Halloweens over?
I thought I'd go beyond that predictable mark and shoot this subject prematurely your way !



Cartooned in ZBrush and Moho-voiced in Cool edit pro-Animated in Antechinus Animator.

Last chance for a summer 'song' ?

I hesitate to put this little movie up-
- there are so many other problems in the world to care about -
- one of my main peeves seems so miniscule...

The BEST EVER Help Line !!!

38 seconds with the World's BEST Help line....can you deny it?

In Masochistic Low Fidelity !!

Scream of consciousness !
My early animation experiments, woven into a scary few moments.

YOUR Wish COMES TRUE !

After careful consideration here at Pickledish house, we advise against believing anything the 'first' guy says...it appears he has a pine cone for hair....and that cannot lead to clear thinking...especially as it seems to rotate..cutting into any gray matter he may have.

Thank You

For the love of hair ...

HEATWAVE in Vancouver !!!

America's Got... TROUSERS !

I "BS"...but, seriously !

You have 24 seconds with the doctor... make it count...

fool...STOP !!!

A 90 second ad-lib about an embarrassing moment yesterday...the pictures are just to give you sumpin to look at, while you hear the story...expect no sync or a myriad of pics...just a few sketches I did in Moho...and a photo or 2 of my ride...

Enjoy???

Howdy's Aunt Aretha Doody

2 for the show...

---Face Trick---

I got a laptop--reconditioned one...see, I only know the landscape of my OLD desktop with Windows 98--so I figure if my 10 year old mainstay computer ever dies --I'd better have sumpin in line that will record voice..allow me to draw and animate---so the 26 sec movie above--is me drawing in Amorphium and Moho on the Laptop...and recording the voice on the cheesy mic that is built in...it proves that I can work with the new program--but I can tell I have to upgrade the mic... the movie woulda been better at a higher frame rate...but this is what turned out to fit for time.
so, funny? .
..uhh...maybe...
a test O' the Thorndike Pickledish communication lab...
yes !

The other day I had to change my answering machine...it's diaper was full of telemarketing droppings....couldn't think of much--but here is the one that answers my phone today....

All in ONE Handy Place !

The other day I found an interesting site--that has an attached contest, simulcast on You Tube...Needing a place to put most of my short films at once, I plopped in 6 films over at BIT FILM-- CLICK HERE
My Favorite aspect is being able to make up stupid names as credits on the film...this, to me is more fun than the films themselves...
for special effects in one, I wrote 'Hal Lou Cynation'---ha ha Hallucination ...
in music for one, I wrote "Hertz Meinhead" --hurts mine head...hee hee..

go on over, see what I mean, n' thanks

All talk and no Cars !

It is once again time to steal from myself...I invented the names of these GM cars long ago...but now they are more appropriate--it is your doody to support them !

Also on cars...I've always loved the older Jaguar models...and the fine marque has changed owners in the last many years...finally to be taken over by Tata motors of India...I remember when people would say ..."Hey man...nice Jag !!!"

If I had my old Mark 10 right hand drive, back again, and my 1976 XJ12L in my driveway....would I hear ..."Hey man ....Nice Tata's"

I hope not.....

back to the pec deck for more flyes

My Favorite Picture

I was on the beach a few weeks ago --and saw this --just had to shoot it--click on it to see a larger image....I wonder why there is a fireplug on the beach?
Is it in case the sand catches on fire?
this is an Anaglyph I tried to make from 2 separate angles--I do get the "Gull Friend" out in front with Vancouver in the Background.

I was going to do one O' my animated movies for ya...but I didn't like the end result..so this time it was just snaps with my 30 cent camera.

You say KOMODO I say KIMONO

Komodo Dragon

Two Komodo Dragons were accused of killing a man recently...it was not drug or gang related...the Dragons were waiting for the fellow to fall off the tree he was picking fruit on...it might have been justified..

who knows if it wasn't their fruit..
their tree??

And with a name like Komodo..don't you think the defense lawyer will be quick to point out the Dragons being bullied in school with things like....

"Hey Dragons--go back to your Commode"

Meanwhile...a Kimono Dragon might be an iffy partner in a dollar a dance club...it might be hard to slip away without being ...dare I say...."frenched"
Kimono Dragon

Me such BAD man !

This is a rant about the GYM today....Psychiatric help anyone ??


When I started this BLOG it was going to be just an occasional humorous bit of artwork or animation...and my "Bench Bozo" was going to be JUST my Bench Press training--and never the twain shall meet....well, today some merging has taken place and gym stuff (irrational mumbling) has become today's Thorndike Pickledish talking bloggeroo---relapse and enjoy... 2 minutes of me ruminating over the rant that IS the masked gym whistler....

Anatomy of a Brain Amateurism !

I did this in the free Program "Project Dogwaffle" used the mouse to draw it.

Then I took the ONE panel and stretched it in the old "MOHO" program --MOHO is now improved and called "Anime Underwear" or some name with the word "Anime" in it....
I made 58 frames--repeated them-to 232 at 8 frames a second--I ad libbed a voice track to it and here is 29 seconds of silly thinking out loud..


It's a fun way to blog --when you don't type out your thoughts for the day..but instead do a 'talking letter' to expose the workings of your 35 cent computer and it's inner drawing board....

I like this one today--but tomorrow --or maybe later tonite --I'll probably be embarrassed and want to send it to the messy art grave yard.

He went to the trouble of putting up some interesting frog animation/slide show videos while the bits played....at first I wasn't ready to have Lonely Bullfrog or 'Wart' now my love --on the TUBE--but when I found SF Bound --Paranoia and The imperial Grandmother up--I was pretty happy...even Happier when I saw the other artists he put on his site---follow the URL's to ToyBoyTwo's channel--
lotsa Python and Sid Caesar --and some comic gems....hah...if only someone had the guts to put up Viet Nama Mama---wait --no, that one scares everyone away...it's like I was imitating Yoko before she ever put a record out...hah---

anyway--thanks--and All Hail 'ToyBoyTwo' !

Yes -Yes --but so very NO !!

Brain Feathers !

Brainpan Boogie

New version Tues 13th

Do you speak in chunks of mutton and mint flavored word sausage?
Sometimes even "Golden Glob" winners do too...
Well, this took all day....... to craft 37.2 seconds of Uptrite' pooetry !

What I do like, is the camera pan I did with the old MOHO program (it is now Anime' sandwich or some such) and the goofers I drew in ZBrush and the fiendish looking kid who menaces at the end...the model of the woman I like too..cuz it's not much in the way of a TP "Hideousity"--AND....Over Dog "bit" spokesdog.

I do like the idea 'Brain feathers being preened n' fluffed into a dream pillow'....I may use that idea properly one day...but never the less..here is what took me a whole damn day...and now...I finally kinda like it !

I found that to make fun of people who sing in their cartoons..you have to try to sing...I wont DO that again (Cybil Shepard syndrome I call it )--I also will never use my 'Nancy Grace' voice again....
...talk about creepin myself out !

The "SH" factor !

Help me solve the Mystery of the new Vocal aberration the "SH" factor !

Movie proudly modeled in ZBrush
and animated in the wonder of Repeato flap...the cheatiest style !
the choice of lazy animators !

There will be Beans !

Ready--aim--FIRE....

Tuesday I decided to make a huge pot of chili--so when I shopped for all the stuff I remembered to get chili powder

(the kind with all the 'chili aspect' in it---cumin-garlic-chili-basil or whatever ALL the ingredients of 'chili' are)

So, at Meinhardts I pick up the envelope of 'chili' powder --
come home...
braise the meat...
cook the onions...
green peppers --
tomatoes...
tomato sauce...
tomato paste (to glue any broken tomatos back together)

black beans--
kidney beans...
and the chili flavoring sauce....
stir...
taste...

........no chili flavor??.....

But HOT oh my god--the chili PREP powder was all CAYENNE

--yes Meinhardts
was literal
(no one else I know is)
instead of calling it cayenne powder
they labeled it chili...most people take that to mean quick n' dirty combo fixins..

Well...2 pounds o' meat is ruined...

all told 5 pounds of edible item should be flushed.....

one bite of this and you'd be in the emergency award...

yes...this was MACE in the non spray version, with beans...

What to do??? go buy real chili fixin powder 2 more cans of each bean--2 more pounds of meat??

damn, no, the idea is use what I've got......remember-the problem is icy sidewalks and getting to any store that has that stuff is a big factor.

well I have curry cubes (Glico) mild...so I'll morph this into CURRY !

I have banana's -

-overly sweet Goldilocks brand shortbread...shaved back to powder...

....milk....

but no yogurt --

no nuthin to kill the fire-

no coconut--no chutney--

--alright all of the above get chopped and sifted in--

oooh the bananas really help...

milk..too...

so now it has a wonderful flavor--really --not kidding

...cept this is the reaction I would get...

"mmm Thonrndike--this is soo flavourful and sweet --and rich--oooh it is heavenly...

wait....

20 seconds in--

it's a bit hot isn't it??--

ohh it's so good but it's so hot...
oh my god...my head is pounding ...

my gut !"

wheee oooo wheee ooo....(sound of ambulance)

So, I put it away...thinking after a few days in the fridge I'll go buy food to dilute it...like a stew maybe...

so today I bought more meat--more onions -celery-plum tomatoes--potatoes-carrots...and I precooked those things in 3 batches and dumped them into the pot after they were cooked.....stirred it up...simmered it...

and it is just the right hotness...and still flavorful...red wine splashed in helped...so did cranberry sauce (small amount) so the once upon a time chili--will be Curry Stew !

and oh yeah---I used my coffee grinder to powder up some cumin seeds...that will be nice next time I grind some dark roast

and ..DAMN !

this stuff is good...
unfortunately it looks a bit like......

POOT!
