this may have been posted by accident but I challenge anyone to come with a pert caption for it...

offsideintahiti said...

Looks a cross between home and a fried egg, if you ask me.

Zephirine said...

Oops, it seems File didn't mean me to post this one, but hey...

There is a definite fried-egg ambiance about it. In a freesial kind of way.

mimi said...

Whoops. I could have sworn it said "Dishwasher safe" on that Princess Diana memorial plate.

file said...

he! Very good Mi2!

Meltonian said...

I'm not sure we can deal with this at Eyeland, sir.

mimi said...

I know there's a crack in the Meltonian Blue, Sir, but I'm afraid that's always a risk when you enter the Vortex.

Said the man at B and Q

"Yes, I suppose you could put your Freesias in the tumble dryer Mrs.Endicott, although most people find the traditional flower press sufficient."

freep said...

Memo to self: when breaking into the florist's, avoid eating more than fifteen gardenias; and never mix cider with benedictine again.

posting by accident? hummm.....do you mean it was designed as an ornement for a porcelain dish but you mailed it to the wrong customer?

Billy said...

The Celeb Masterchef judges eyed File's starter with some considerable suspicion.

Zephirine said...

It's inspired some very good captions! Mimi and Billy slightly ahead on points I think (not that it's a competition)

guitou said...

you know favouritism could have a negative impact on the disfavoured one:-(

Zephirine said...

Correction: EVERYBODY's captions are brilliant!! :))

file said...

mine isn't

Posting by accident! ah ah ah !

Meltonian said...

Please don't try to make the refusards feel better, Zeph. It only increases our pain.

offsideintahiti said...

We're not worthy. We know.

file said...

my name is file and I've been free from swirling vortex's for 2 whole days now, it's not easy, I'm taking it one step at a time, it was touch and go here for a while

guitou said...

"refusard" moi? where did I refuse hard?
I like to think this a silky word used to stir the fried-egg ambiance up with a fabulous sense of humor.

guitou said...

file is vortex taking you to fish eye or reverse?

file said...

just call me Alice

offsideintahiti said...

You've always found it difficult to stick to just the one name, haven't you, Filou?

Personally, I only wear vortex when I'm hiking.

file said...

I can't wear vortex while hiking myself on account of that rash I sent you the pics of, why have you stopped writing back, I thought we'd planned to meet?

offsideintahiti said...

You know full well that rash was from sharing Guitou's fish eye soup. Vortex is hypoallergenic.

Meltonian said...

I wanted to say 'refuses' (as in salon des) but I don't how to do the accent, so I went for something approximate. Unfortunate hint of late 19c French military scandal which I didn't notice. Je m'accuse.

guitou said...

it's still fabulous sense of humor because the ante West Ham Zola "j'accuse" was an article about conspicuous injustice.
offie,fish eye, not the soup but the hemispheric lens used by file or whoever did the "ship in the bottle" remarkable camera work. You of all people must be familiar now with this visuall effect .

offsideintahiti said...

I dunno, I usually get fish eye when I stay in the sun for too long.

mimi said...

Non je refuse non, pour le gaigneur, le winner du tout, le man of le moment, Mark, le Cavendish!!

Zephirine said...

Melton, it's very annoying about accents on Blogger, the only way I've found of doing them is to write the word with its accents in a document and then cut-and-paste it into your comment, when, mysteriously, the accents will appear.

File, I hope you're keeping up with your VortexAnon meetings...

offsideintahiti said...

Just caught a glimpse of the ship in a bottle site, but the comments thread made my browser crach before I could post the usual inanities. Damn.

An invitation to one and all to come and join the poster poems fun: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2009/jul/16/poster-poems-history

Meltonian said...

I thînk I havé it now.

Zephirine said...

Très bien accentué, Señor Melton.

Thanks Billy, will be there!
