And did you ever polly-wolly-doodle all the day? I came close, but mine was a "Wanna diddle Polly" all the day.

Qoute:
oxymoron of the week : "being dead"

Is that like the "undead", which is my husband's and mine's favorite oxymoron.

Our favorite redundancy: "The Giant Behemoth" (The British version of Godzilla!)

Oh lord... now I know what I'm doing this weekend.

1. Make template
2. White spraypaint
3. Recruit kooky friends

I'm also scribbling "space invader mosaics" in my notebook.

One that always bothers me:

"They are building a new house down the street."

Well, of course it is a "new" house, have you ever seen an old house built?

Of course, an old bridge, London Bridge, was built. But, I think it is still a new bridge, just made out of an old bridge.

Nothing... it'll be in the shape of a space invader, of course.

Found in a Religious Studies exam paper:
'Genitals were not allowed in the Temple.'

So, did you check them at the door, or what?

Patricia, that reminds me of something I saw many years ago, "The History of the World According to... ", and I can't remember the rest of the title, but it was a list of answers to history exam questions. I can only remember a few, such as "Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 40-foot clipper" and "a myth is a female moth". I would love to find that again.

Zelda, I did not make up "Polly Wolly Doodle". I probably didn't even make up "Wanna diddle Polly", but I can never tell the difference between mimetics and invention these days. Ok, so I can see this Space Invader Mosaic thing is going to take considerably more effort. Perhaps my collection of Marvins would do?

if you graffiti marvins all over the place, you must post photos afterwards.

How it's done :

Taylor514ce · 05-14-2008, 04:30 PM

How is that Space Invaders? Looks like Q-bert, to me. Are those actual mosaic tiles?
