More fun with plastic wrap, and also one for the Madhatters "Seven Deadly Sins" challenge, namely wrath.
I had to drive into the back of beyond this morning for work and lost radio coverage so plugged in the iPod and heard a song that instantly (albeit loosely) inspired this shot, mainly from a vague memory of the music video that accompanied it. I still like that song and that band, particularly in that era, and I know my lovely wife @kimkyra will know the song and band as well...anyone else care to feel old with me and take a guess?
And those who sneer will fade and die
And those who laugh will surely fall
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall.
Best viewed against the black...now there's a shock. One day I might challenge myself to do a shot that's best viewed against white...
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
@eyeamlisa I would never stick a knife in the floor...not me, never. Walks away whistling innocently... @mzzhope Thank you very much...this one was done in clear view of the neighbours house...worried looks... @jules13 Thanks very much - I'm pleased I delivered a smile! @bill_fe Thanks very much...that's just a normal look... @jsw0109 Thank you very much, much appreciated :)
I can't imagine how you pulled this off without police involvement! Seriously, I like the lines in the plastic wrap... Most intriguing. Also, bonus for the huge knife. No clue on the song.
@mcsiegle Thank you very much indeed :) @rosiekerr I have a reasonably private back yard, and thanks very much :) As for the knife, it's quite wonderful ;)
@tomtom Thanks very much and so pleased not to be the only one to be showing my age! I was starting to worry for a while there... @voiceprintz Thanks very much...wrath or wrapped, one of the two...
@ukandie1@tomtom Yep, it's the title of the shot and definitely Ultravox...I even have the albums from the pre-eighties, John Foxx days...no wonder I'm grey haired... @ukandie1 And thank you very much too :) @julzmaioro LOL, as long as I don't start to smell like one! And thanks very much :) @aecasey Thanks very much - I guess it does a bit. Wait...are you calling me a dinosaur??? @tatopaz Thank you very much - it's not scary. I'm just a big idiot :)
Would never have guessed that song, even though I was 'young' during that era, Ultravox didn't feature in my repertoire much. You never cease to amaze me with your images, it must be such fun thinking what to do next
Hell yes, this is so awesome! I have no idea what the song is but it does fit here so it was a good place to get inspired. Brilliant idea and so well executed. It is even more effective on black of course. Fav
@ounooi Thanks very much :) @harbie If you have a face made of rubber you may as well use it! @karlow75 Thanks very much, appreciated @orangecrush Thanks very much indeed :) @spanner Thanks you very much :) @dibzgreasley Most of my bizarre ideas are from the music I listen to...not sure what that means...and thanks very much @chippy1402 Thanks very much...just a normal expression ;) @susale Thanks very much, much appreciated :) @lisatown I have half a roll left...who knows what could happen! And thank you very much :)
So glad you are into recycling! I would hate to see all that black plastic go to waste!! Frankly, I thought you were swimming in a lava field at first, but was disappointed to notice that it was just more black plastic!
Tomorrow we pour concrete....I'll see if I can replicate this shot trying to get myself out of it!
@newbank After all this time? At least you recognise the boots :) @shepherdmanswife Thanks very much :) @andrewkru Thank you very much kind sir @hermann If it was molasses I'd be holding a spoon rather than a knife ;) Thanks very much too @tonygig Thanks very much :) @annied Yes, yes I am. A regularly loony toon. And I always liked The Hymn as well...but Vienna is a cool tune. @shannejw Thanks very much - no speedos though! @panthora I try and recycle as much as I can. In fact our rubbish men come and knock on the door if there are no wine bottles put out, just to make sure we're okay...looking forward to seeing your concrete shot... @ceilidh The boot always wins the day, and if it was treacle I'd be holding a spoon... @tracie8266 Thanks very much - always pleased to deliver a laugh! @pusspup Thanks - it great stuff to play with! @gigiflower Is there any other kind of boot?
@graemestevens Thank goodness.......for a moment I wondered if our "friendship" would come to an end. I mean I'm struggling to cope with skivvy's and Velcro sandals, but if they weren't Docs, then it would be O.V.E.R
Well not so long ago I could have matched you under the plastic like this! The amount of black plastic I have wrestled in my life time you wouldn't believe!
Talking about silo wrapping here so no wrong ideas! We always sheeted our silage clamp up with rolls & rolls of this stuff...I hate the stuff!! We had to cover the stuff with tyres after that so that's your next job, covering yourself with tyres!!
LOL you are a one!!
@happypat I have the deep and lasting pleasure of fighting this stuff at work on a regular basis as well...it's a delight all right. At least you only challenged me to covering myself with tyres and not silage!!! @gigiflower Good. God. No.
@happypat The silage challenge? Most definitely not, but thank you for the kind offer. The tyre challenge? I have a spare one of my own that barely fits in my t-shirts without adding more to the collection!
@gigiflower Correct, and it's not just the weather that makes me not require shorts. Anyway, I must away as Billy Connolly is about to start on TV and I fancy a giggle. Have a superb evening.
@888rachel Thanks very much - I still like them... @pinkpaintpot Thanks very much - if was treacle it would be a spoon! @deliad Thanks very much :) @kali66 LOL, thanks - I'm sure I have white gumboots somewhere... @scolgs Thanks very much @trishaclancy Thanks very much - you would have laughed more if you'd been here! @pittcj17 Thanks very much - if you have a face made of rubber you may as well use it! @wearing0 Thanks very much - I wish it was jelly! @andy3168 Thanks very much :) @motherjane As do I...something's are just better on vinyl @roseolivia Thanks very much indeed :)
@denisefuller Thanks very much - in my other, more mundane life I'm a territory manager for BOC gas...I have gas... @epcello Thanks very much :) @lwain Thanks very much - I think this stuff could take my body weight actually...might have to try that... @terryliv LOL, thanks very much @leanne333 Thank you very much, on both counts :) @bigugly Thank you very much kind sir, always appreciated
