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”.

Prepper/Survivalist popper goes live

Gattling gun popper before loaded

Getting ready to load (since it takes two hands to load and
 one to operate the camera no pictures of loading available)

Loaded with popcorn shells 


Turn the handle to make the popping noise until out of ammo



Dump the spent shell casings out


Test results of small white (left) and larger yellow (right) ammo
If you want one of these 'sorry. Due to worsening world conditions TWW got the last one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O8U4770/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Garbin Moraine Foundation First Ever Best Instruction Manual Award

The award goes to the Casey-pOp people for their popper manual. 



Their manual says: "Cleaning UP.  The popper will inevitably become coated with oil residue and this is very difficult to completely remove. The best approach we have found is to get over it...."

The popper itself passed its first test and will be used live on Friday night so this blog will have some pictures of the action Saturday morning.

need to get a part for the stove

Since the files for the pictures were too large to attach to an e-mail from out in the country and not wait for 30 minutes for it to be sent TWW is setting himself up to public humiliation for messing up his stove.  He needs to order a replacement part even though the stove works as well as ever. 



Part removed from stove



Part back in stove and one can hardly tell there is a problem.

Bowls in finishing stages ready for customers

Here are some quick pics of the latest order for bowls. These bowls have been aged to perfection since 2005 and now are ready to be shipped. The currently are still wet from their first covering with walnut oil.  





Believe it or not time

"The results of all this are now in. An independent study by the British Journal of Criminology found that since total decriminalization, addiction has fallen, and injecting drug use is down by 50 percent. I'll repeat that: injecting drug use is down by 50 percent. Decriminalization has been such a manifest success that very few people in Portugal want to go back to the old system. The main campaigner against the decriminalization back in 2000 was Joao Figueira, the country's top drug cop. He offered all the dire warnings that we would expect from the Daily Mail or Fox News. But when we sat together in Lisbon, he told me that everything he predicted had not come to pass -- and he now hopes the whole world will follow Portugal's example."

TWW has psychopathology??

see: http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2015/01/11/mental-health-study-men-who-post-selfie-show-psychopathic-tendencies/

"Men who regularly posted photos of themselves online scored higher on a measure for narcissism and psychopathy.According to Medical News Today, a study out of Ohio State University has found that men who took “selfies” were more likely to exhibit psychopathic traits when compared to control group."

Perhaps they meant maschocism too since this was a picture of a chain saw accident (the saw did not have an engine by the way)

Reverse Santa Anonymous


You have heard about anonymous Santas who do good deeds during the Christmas season. Well now we have a reverse Santa Anonymous who used anonymously used TWW's credit card to go holiday shopping out in the San Fransisco area while TWW was in Rochester having an early holiday with Mrs. TWW's family this year.  Most of the charges were from either gas stations or clothes stores so TWW is sure he has helped someone in need buy for their children so they could have the Christmas they are entitled to. After all President Obama told them he would help the fill their tanks and make their mortgages during the 2008 campaign. In  case you would like top help TWW with this good project of helping the poor use the donate button on this site (but remember the purpose of this site is to celebrate the diversity of gullibility).   


ObamaCoaster solves most known problems with Medicaid and Social security


"Here’s how the .....method would work: First the rider would face a long, slow climb up to more than 500 meters, giving him or her a few minutes to think back on life and contemplate the decision. At the top, there would be time to say a prayer or blow a kiss to relatives (or bail) before pressing the “fall” button and plummeting into the long steep plunge followed by the first 360-degree loop. That’s where most riders would die. According to Urbonas, traveling at 100 meters per second, the person would experience a G-force-induced loss of consciousness due to cerebral hypoxia (lack of oxygen reaching the brain), which often causes a sense of euphoria. Just in case that first one didn’t do it, six more consecutive loops would finish the job."

As soon as the voters put the Democrats back in power we can begin working on this again. It sure beats the mythical 'death panels' we heard about.
