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”.

BNFs and video games

In the make-believe world of Lake Wobegon we hear about the bachelor Norwegian farmers  (BNFs). In the real world we just learned of a bachelor Norwegian farmer who somehow managed to create a tragedy (an understatement).  While the  fictional BNFs are harmless real people who play lots of violent video games may not be. Perhaps the number of people who live out the games in the real world is small but these video games are called 'murder simulators' by former army psychologist David Grossman. See the following article and compare what you learn there with what you hear about the infamous BNF in the news : http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2007/3417grossman_reprint.html
