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”.

GM Expansion Pledge Drive cancelled for now

The pledge drive to expand GM by buying the lot to the north has been cancelled.  Nobody used the donate button to help buy the land so the matching funds from  the GM Foundation will go to another use. For now GM will try to make do with its limited facilities in the face of an expanding demand for services.

New life enrichment for the daring

A certain Green Bay traitor quarterback has supposedly shown us both his privates and a new means of life enrichment. See this for details.   For the feint of heart here is a virtual way to show yours to the world. Let them guess if it is really you or not. See:  link

Birch bribe bowl



This bowl is for the wife of the guy who plows our snow with the hope she will prevent him from retiring since she gets free bowls as long as he continues to plow.

Interesting graphic from Greenland Ice



Since the climate alarmists talk about the truth from the ice here is a graph of what the ice cores say about temperature.   


This graphic is from an interesting article about warming that ends: 


"So where do the 1934/1998/2010 warm years rank in the long-term list of warm years? Of the past 10,500 years, 9,100 were warmer than 1934/1998/2010.  Thus, regardless of which year ( 1934, 1998, or 2010) turns out to be the warmest of the past century, that year will rank number 9,099 in the long-term list.
The climate has been warming slowly since the Little Ice Age (Fig. 5), but it has quite a ways to go yet before reaching the temperature levels that persisted for nearly all of the past 10,500 years.
It’s really much to do about nothing."
note: this stuff matters quite a bit if your job depends on global warming.

Garbin Moraine goes prostate-free




In early July members of the American Cleaning Institute (formerly the Soap and Detergent Association, which changed names earlier) decided to nearly eliminate phosphates in their detergents for household dishwashers.  This was to help save the planet and aqueous environments.  After  due deliberation the Board of Directors of the Garbin Moraine Foundation decided in addition to banning phosphates on GM to also ban prostrates given the amount of damage to the environment prostrates do.  Just name a social or environmental problem and there is a good chance there are prostrates to blame. The change making Garbin Moraine a prostate-free zone will take effect on January 1st, 2011.

Possible Garbin Moraine Expansion

Due to capacity problems caused by heavy use of Garbin Moraine Manor,  the Garbin Moraine Foundation is negotiating with the owner of the land to the north of GM about acquisition of his land.  If the deal goes through it will become the GM Annex. The site has a screen building for outdoor mosquito-free camping and also a storage building with a tree crushing it. Possibilities for this new land are limitless.  The land also offers an awesome view of Swamp Lake. GM Manor is seen at the bottom of the photo.

Helping the less fortunate at Christmas


Mr .and Mrs.  TWW are carrying on the family tradition up in the woods this year by helping the fishing families in the Gulf by buying oil-ready oysters. You don't need to put butter in the milk for these oysters since the oils are already in the oysters.  As the TWWs watch the oil float on top of the milk they can feel warm and fuzzy knowing they are helping the less fortunate and also helping prevent CO2 emissions by not using butter from farting cows.
