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”.

Bad timing for TWW's writing career?




Right in the middle of all of the pushback against government handouts and benefits in Wisconsin a magazine in Wisconsin published an article by TWW on how to survive in the country by means of government handouts. (link to a copy of the manuscript).  

One interesting part of the published article was one word change. The original article was attempting a clever ending by saying "Finally, another good source of leads is the next generation . See if your local high school has a Future Freeloaders of America (FFA) chapter." 


The printed article said 'Farmers' instead of 'Freeloaders'.  TWW could not tell if the editor thought 'Farmers' was correcting a putdown on FFA or if farmers are freeloaders too with all of their government programs.
