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”.

Your new clothes drier

You will get one of these new clothes driers for free from the government and given how much your electric bill will be going up with cap and trade you will be glad to start using it.

"
Woman sentenced for sexual assault of minor

WASHBURN COUNTY – A Minong woman was convicted of sexual assault of a child Wednesday, May 13, at the Washburn County Courthouse.

Dawn M. Thomas, 29, pled no contest in March to second-degree sexual assault of a child and to child enticement with sexual contact, and was found guilty. According to the report, Thomas had forced a 14-year-old boy into intercourse and other sex acts multiple times on May 12, 2008, and offered him alcohol, while he was baby-sitting her child overnight. Later that week, his mother intercepted text messages from Thomas indicating the acts and telling him to keep them secret, the report said. She testified later in court that she had had suspicions upon his return, and that Thomas had said some inappropriate things in front of her son before that." source (as of today): http://www.wcregister.net/

You future trips to the lake will be interesting

Here is what your new CAFE-compliant car will be like. Even if you feel cramped you can feel good about how you are saving the planet. Your inflatable plastic boat should fit in the back with no problem. Only little boys want to pretend they are truckers and pull trailers.

This car is shown on the site http://allcarsreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/166118.jpg

TWW's * original article finally online

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Principles+of+successful+country+freeloading.-a0137921061

* note: at the time of the publication of this article TWW was know as TWWT so perhaps the artist formerly known as TWWT would be a more appropriate description

New product fixes plumber's bowls

TWW discovered a new product. Someday he may get the chance to use it when the gardens are all started. The new product fill up cracks so you don't have to worry about having bowls showing their cracks in public.

Day after killer frost

At 9AM it was already 50 degrees so maybe we were spared.


Baby rhubard seems to have survived the killer frost.


Cannot tell if these horny apple trees froze or not.


In this hole yesterday TWW saw his precious tree all bent over to the side and a bunch of orange/brown junk in the hole. When he went over to save the tree the orange/brown junk raised its head and started bleating with fright. Today the hole in the ground was empty and the tree OK.

The great uniter of the American people at work

Taken from AP: Rutgers University political scientist Ross Baker says Obama uses such pointed language to create an us-against-them dynamic in which he aligns himself with average Americans and depicts his opponents as selfish powers working just for themselves. Obama's targets, Baker says, usually are unsympathetic and faceless corporations or hedge funds.

"If you use inflammatory, populist language," Baker said in an interview, "it's best to use it on organizations or interests that aren't terribly popular."

Male stripper at his own 30th anniversary party



Another Santa Claus myth debunked

As the in-laws would sit around the campfire imbibing at the cabin someone was sure to start spinning tales from the old days on the farm. The youngsters would sit wide-eyed listening and wondering how their fathers ever reached the age of 20 given the daring deeds and conspiracies they pulled off.

Last Saturday TWW got to visit the site of some of these tales. There was once a bridge atop a canyon with a rushing river where people dived falling at least 50 feet before plunging into the raging current. There were also tales of sheriff's visits complete with lights and sirens. But nature has taken its toll on the gorge and it is now flat. And the bridge shrunk as you can see below and the stream is a mere trickle now. And the Wild Turkey bottle is empty.

Mr. BANANA is stonewalling us (again)







New slogan for the blog

In the ever present search for quality improvement, TWW Enterprises is beginning to do research for a new slogan at the top of this page. The recent talk about health reform is triggering a number of slogans for health care reform and TWW hopes to borrow something from that debate to use on this blog.So here are a few health care slogans for starters. If you can think of a better one please it add it to the list.

Candidates:
  • Expect less pay more
  • Lower quality care given to more patients
  • You get less care because Bush screwed it all up before I came along
  • Let them eat cake flavored with Coumadin
  • (you can do better so leave a comment)

Home for abused husbands


One of the relatives wanted TWW to find a home for abused husbands on the Internet. Above is the most inexpensive one he could find.

Once again the enlightened Europeans make us look bad

British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said "I think it's important that people understand the sorts of values and sorts of standards that we have here....Coming to this country is a privilege. If you can't live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country and, what's more, now we will make public those people that we have excluded." (she said this when they wouldn't let reactionary radio commentator Michael Savage into Britain).

The only difference between a man and a boy is the size of





his toy.

Monday adventures


Above are two ebonized ebony bowls surrounding a smiling plumber's bowl. All are headed for TWW's private collection.


Michelle Obama said we all should have gardens so TWW is making his sacrifice.

Thanks President Obama for not giving seniors a raise in Social Security in 2010

"Social Security Benefits Not Expected to Rise in ’10

Published: May 2, 2009
The absence of a cost-of-living adjustment, calculated under a formula set by law, will be a shock to older Americans already hit by plummeting home values, investment losses and rising health costs. More than 50 million people receive Social Security....

“Most seniors have never been through a year in which there was no Social Security COLA,” said David M. Certner, legislative counsel at AARP, the lobby for older Americans. Beneficiaries have received automatic cost-of-living adjustments every year since 1975. The increase this year was 5.8 percent."

source: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/03/us/politics/03benefits.html?ref=global-home


TWW is sure glad he voted for Obama since he wants the government to stop giving money away to special interest groups. Next year after he starts getting a social security transfer payment each month he will change his mind.

More nature pictures

TWW saw a coyote this morning and this one was not wearing a pink collar but we could not get a picture of it. We did get these since they were holding still.






For more life enrichment play in the dirt

Life enrichment from playing in the dirt can get spoiled if you cut through an electrical line so we had Digger's Hotline out to play with us.



This is the second garden. Playing in the dirt is even more enriching if your playmate has a John Deere tractor to bring over.



This is the start of the new road to the well so the welldriller can fix the well.



To keep the environmentalist relatives happy we unfolded the solar clothes drier so they think we are conserving energy.
