The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Taking the bowls on the road

TWW has not been able to update this blog for a few days since he was on the road researching his new book, ‘Sustainable Freeloading in Troubled Times’. He will be back on the road on Wednesday doing more research on the ‘Freeloading Off of Relatives’ chapter by taking a trip to Texas to visit some relatives there.
.
The past weekend was a freeloading success story with the amount of beer and other presents acquired at a 60th birthday party far outstripping the cost of fuel. TWW learned a new leaching lesson this year when he claimed it was his 60th birthday when it was really his 59th. The hope is next year when he really turns 60 he will be able to dupe the relatives into another party and make a haul there too.
.
One of the most important techniques in successful freeloading is being grateful to the people who help your cause. TWW is definitely thankful for the all the great beer (and other loot) he received. He promises to put the beer to good use in his Omentum Enhancement Program this spring.
.
Here are some new working chapter titles for the new book: ‘freeloading for infants’,’freeloading for kids’, ‘freeloading for college students’, ‘freeloading for adult children’, ‘freeloading in middle age’, ‘freeloading for seniors’, ‘freeloading off of relatives’, ‘freeloading for the homeless’, ‘freeloading for rich white people’,’ freeloading for corporations’, ‘freeloading for nonprofits’ and as the final chapter ‘freeloading at your funeral’ . These are only working titles and may change based on future research. If you are interested in helping with the last chapter on freeloading at your funeral please contact TWW for an interview.
.
So unless you hear about a plane crash of an aircraft called an ‘Embalmer’ which we are flying on Wednesday to Texas , do not worry about the absence of worthwhile information on this blog until next week. You never worried about the absence of worthwhile information on this blog before so no need to start now.
