More stuff in bad taste.






Pencil Sharpener picking up dropped soap.

EDIT- I had a little poem telling this guy's story, but I decided to do without.
---------------------------------------------------

I can't take any credit for the design of his "member". I got that (and most everything else probably) from Alexander Calder.

Also, I announced yesterday that my next goal for Bent Objects is to appear on Late Night with David Letterman. Is that a lot to ask? Heck yeah, but then again, it was a lot to ask for an agent and publisher, but that's just what I did on this blog a few years ago. You know what? It happened!

Some people might think I'm sort of crazy for laying this out there for all the world to see, but this is what I think-- If you don't tell people what you want, then why do you think you will ever get it? And yeah, I'm a bit crazy, but if you haven't noticed, this blog runs on crazy.

So Dave, call me. I'm in your hometown 317 area code.

One more thing - On Facebook? Vanessa of Quebec made this for me. Thanks Vanessa!

Just out of curiosity, are you merging your Really Bent blog with this one? Every time I've checked over there in the last few months, no new objects. This one seems a prime candidate for Really Bent. (I kinda hope you don't, cuz the kiddos look at this one. I enjoy them both.)

Great! I love it.
Not very politically correct (at least for French taste).

Don't forget to put your David Letterman video on YouTube, otherwise I won't be able to watch it from here (and I don't want to miss it).

Man, that is SOOOO very very wrong... funny... but soooo wrong... (It'd be funnier if you didn't explain it so clearly...)

Good luck on the Late Night appearance! I joined the group!

Judy- No worries, although sometimes I can be a little edgier here than some like.

cm- Thanks. Wish we could have met when I was in Paris.

Nikoli- Sometimes I'm wrong. No doubt. If I water this stuff down though, it's not even worth doing.
Thanks for joining the group!

Very funny, but because of the unfamiliar shape of the sharpener, doesn't read right away, and that is evident in your need to show it's underside.

Terry said...

Thanks Tom.

My wife is upset at me for painting over the butterfly print paint-job on the pencil holder. I usually use an object as I found/bought it, and part of me agrees with her.

Krista said...

This is completely brilliant... I'll never look at a pencil sharpener the same way again!

Brat said...

I LOVE this! I laughed out loud. On a Monday morning that is a GREAT thing.

LOVE Letterman. Good luck with that!

I was going to comment on how the package looked a lot like Spleenal draws, but then you gave credit to someone else.

I'm sorry, but I just don't think rape is funny. I think it is the most horrible thing that can ever happen to someone. In a country where one in four women are raped and one in ten men are raped (dcrcc.org), I think it is repulsive that anyone can find this funny.

I love Bent Objects and look forward to seeing more in the future.

It's called The Late SHOW. Unless you have a time machine.

This brought on a deep chuckle before I go to bed. I blame you for the nightmares that I am about to procure.
