Of a Surgical Nature

It has been a long and difficult day of trial and error, but I am pleased to announce that my army of dutiful and subservient Minions is nearing completion. The final steps are nearly completed, all bar the wiring and figuring out why they keep eating each other...

While we were away this week my kind, thoughtful, tolerant and generous daughter bought me a set of salt and pepper shakers shaped like brains...inspiration for this struck in the middle of a crowded and bustling shopping mall, and as the lights went on in my mind the killing spree stopped. Almost. I had to have subject matter after all!
ha ha ha... cool. nice narrative. and the brains are awesome (im a nurse)

@sarahview thanks - they'll be donated to my Father in Law who will eat them in due course...does not appeal to me in the least!
@daneau Thank you, much appreciated

I was pleased to read these were salt and pepper pots I did wonder at first glance! I thought they might be jelly as they seem to glisten......

Have you been playing Plants v Zombies? Love the shot and love the explanation even more.
April 24th, 2014  
Story is funny and I love the picture! Never know what you will come up with!
April 24th, 2014  
LOL love it. I was wondering who'd met an untimely end at your dastardly hand!
April 24th, 2014  
This is cool. Excellent commentary.
April 24th, 2014  
@wearing0 these are real brains...the inspiration came from the fake ones...
@deliad thanks, and neither can I!
@newbank thank you very much
@golftragic No games required for me to take something and twist it it would seem...and thanks

@creativefool thank you kind sir!

It's actually young miss and you are very welcome good sir! :)
April 24th, 2014  
wierd and creative - and far more interesting than my office supplies, lol
April 24th, 2014  
@creativefool Do you know, that's twice I've done that. I shall hang my head in shame and spank myself with a damp piece of celery immediately for such a transgression. I promise not to enjoy myself and apologise profusely.
April 24th, 2014  
@johenn thank you very much...I guess it depends on what you get up to with your office supplies!
April 24th, 2014  
@graemestevens on the tag page search "Office supplies" and you'll see. See if you can figure them out before reading what they are. ; )

@graemestevens LOL yes you called me a male, I remember!!!!!!! love the brains, I can only hope that they have enough smart matter to share around :)
April 24th, 2014  
@gigiflower thanks...if they're in my hands they're far from smart! Also, thanks for reminding me, I'm positively glowing with shame now!!!!
April 24th, 2014  
Well with our ambiguous names & photos its not easy to figure us out! And ....don't have too much fun with that celery... :D
April 24th, 2014  
@creativefool I like people that aren't easy to figure out, so you stay as ambiguous as you are and change nothing ;) Also, I never have fun with celery, it is an evil that should be removed from the earth,
April 24th, 2014  
Cool and a bit gross. Love the narrative, as always!
April 24th, 2014  
By the way, this whole thread is just hilarious to read.
April 24th, 2014  
Haha!!! Love your narrative! Crazy-good image :)

My son would pay good money for a minion. Let me know when you've completed the prototype!
April 24th, 2014  
@rachelwithey They'll need road testing first, but I'm hoping for an early spring release!
April 24th, 2014  
Keep right on twisting, it's always fun to see what you've come up with.
April 25th, 2014  
Love your work, Graeme! Big follow!

April 29th, 2014  
@lynnilou it would be a culinary adventure!
April 29th, 2014  
@graemestevens You are a cross between hannibal and dexter! Love it!!!
April 29th, 2014  
@lynnilou I've never looked at it that way, but it works!
April 29th, 2014  
@graemestevens Well, I just love both of them! Cried when Dexter ended too!
April 29th, 2014  
@lynnilou they were both very cool, never saw all off Dexter but what I did see I liked, he was great in 6 Feet Under as well
