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”.

TWW admits lack of insight

After listening to our Leader's speech on healthcare last night and agreeing with much of what he said (assuming he really means it) right up until where he had the solution for covering everyone but then as an afterthought added having a public option that would break even like Medicare and Medicaid do, TWW finally realized what affordable health insurance is: it's free. That is why all the people who get affordable health insurance from employers tax-free are happy with what they have and not interested in losing it. Until TWW hears someone define affordable as a dollar amount that is not zero, free healthcare must be what our Leader and loyal followers mean when they use the term. If anyone has heard the term defined differently please leave comments with links where affordable is defined.

The Weird Woodturner discovered

At a social gathering in the big city on Saturday TWW learned he is being flattered by an imitator calling himself the Weird Wood Turner. Imitation is the highest form of flattery so TWW accepts the compliment. To see this guy's site and get some more life enrichment see Theweirdwoodturner.com. This site is not as good as making your screen appear backwards as described in the September 3rd post below but is close.

Another Quality Job by HEAC

Thanks to a capable crew from the Hunter Erection Assistance Company (HEAC) TWW now has a place to hunt so the deer won't smell him as easily. The HEAC crew moved his stand from the area by the driveway (TWW's original stand site) to a place where there may actually be some deer.





Help Wanted
TWW Enterprises is now searching to hire a pair of Tree Stand Stability Specialists (TSSS). TWW needs some TSSSs to hold the tree stand to maintain the original erectness as specified by the HEAC installers when he climbs up the ladder. A working knowledge of first aid and CPR required. Contact TWW Enterprises if interested. No phone calls please.

Local picture of what things were like before the white pines invaded

Thanks to LK for the photo.

Truth or fiction??

The 'hot link' above is what TWW could see today on a World Net Daily web page. They claim it is a screen print of web page (now taken down) at Organizing for America (Barack Obama's web site -- see http://www.barackobama.com/ ). This seems to mean if you are against our Leader's health care plan (if you can figure out what it really is) you are a right-wing terrorist.

Lawn service






The lawn was too big to do by hand so we called in Mr. BANANA's Lawn Service to mow it for us with the hope the deer would start showing up in time so we could do some porch hunting when the deer season starts.

Life enrichment deficiency disorder (LEDD)


You know you are hard up for life enrichment activities when the biggest event of the day is drawing a map to apply for Aid to Dependent Woodlot Owners.

Another quote for the day

"Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., a member of the Senate Health, Education and Labor Pensions Committee chaired by Kennedy, has been the panel's point person on health-care reform in Kennedy's absence. Today Dodd said that he hopes Kennedy's death will revive a spirit of bipartisanship." (source below)

Let's see now. The Democrats own the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Bills pass with a majority of votes and there are more Democrats than Republicans. Why does bipartisanship matter unless the Democrats do not want to be the party to blame for the results of health care reform?

TWW thanks President BO for the plug

Yesterday President BO said "There is something about August going into September where everybody in Washington gets all wee weed up!"

TWW thanks the president for the free plug of his Te Wi Wi line of bowls ('we weed up' translated into Chinese).

Bad Bowl Day Leads to Creation of Te Wi Wi Enterprises

Yesterday TWW had a bad bowl day. He had wet sanded several cherry bowls over the winter and then let them dry. The result was a pile of crummy bowls with a strange rough texture the would not show much shine when a mineral oil finish was applied (Never mind the bowls in the pic above don't look any worse than other TWW bowls. It is an optical illusion). The question is how to make the best of a bad situation. These bowls might work for the trailer dwelling market segment but would not work for the gallery goer segment of status-conscious liberal ecotourists.

The answer is simple but brilliant: form a bogus Chinese company and put 'made in China' on the bowls. The trailer dwelling segment will think the bowls are as good as Walmart and scoop them up while the xenophobic liberal crowd that loves to wail about outsourcing jobs to China will not buy them. Instead they will buy TWW's gallery quality series of bowls at a jacked-up price. So watch for the Te Wi Wi label on the bottom of future bowls and of course the 'made in China' on the label.

Even TWW could not make something like this up at his creative best


" AP – U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., speaks at a senior center in Dartmouth, Mass. Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2009 …

DARTMOUTH, Mass. – Rep. Barney Frank lashed out .....

"Ma'am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. I have no interest in doing it," Frank replied.

.....(later in the story)....

Audrey Steele, 82, from New Bedford, said she does not want the government to get involved with health care because "they just make a mess of everything," ... " (note: spoken as someone who does not know who pays her medical bills? - TWW)
