A.B.U.W.T.I.A.T.S.T.A.E.

A.B.U.W.T.I.A.T.S.T.A.E.

(A Brief Update Whose Title I Abbreviated To Save Time and Energy)

The month of May came and went, and there was not a whiff of Kevin Cornell in the stable of illustrative looky-looing that is Bearskinrug. But I assure you, it was not for a lack of work ethic on my part. In fact, it was completely because my work ethic was stuck in overdrive that I had to postpone all my updates. I just had too much going on at once. But, the good news is, I now have some interesting things to show for it.

This is usually the point where I'd share what I've been working on, talk a little about each project, make a self-deprecating joke or two, and — if the opportunity allows — subtly implant subconscious messaging to lower your inhibitions. But unfortunately, I still don't have a lot of time to write, so I'm just going to have to put together a condensed version. So... first, look at this:

More on that here. Now, look at this:

More on that here. Now, look at this:

More on that here, here, or even here. Now... as for this:

It's what's taking up most of my time. But, I assure you, it's totally worth it. Now, for the bad news, which is this:

Which was essentially the same thing that happened to me last spring, a herniated disc. So me and my dog have the same injury. Cute. But don't worry, he's doing okay now. However, he needs to be picked up and carried everywhere since his legs don't really work yet. Which has sort of re-injured my back. Haha... good one, cosmos!

And finally, this:

This:

And this:

There we go! I think that came together nicely. Hmmm... I didn't have enough time to implant a subconscious message though. I'll just come out and say it:

"You will enter a wet t-shirt contest and WIN"

Okay. Now, let me think of a message for the gals...

I.N.S.Y.I.A.R.F.R. for short.

Matching injuries is sweet and all, but listen to the voice of experience: avoid getting sarcoptic mange.

But it's good to get it out of the way. Like chicken pox, or the mumps.

Biggestapple

Oh my God..."here' links are awesome.

bearskinrug

They're a real time-saver! And an excellent way to serve virtual subpoenas!

Opspraak

Ah, much was my happiness when I stumbled over to this little here websites and saw that it has some new wonders to marvel at! Always such a great time. I'm sucking up waaay to much here.

Hope Ernie will be better soon!!!

bearskinrug

Yeah - he'll be romping about, eating my wallet again in no time.

Kevin! You are so prolific! I always wait with bated breath whenever you disappear for a long period, because I always end up enjoying what comes after.

I am both inspired and also intimidated by your success and abilities. Hope I will get to move ahead in my own craft as you have soared.

Take care of yourself!

Sutter

Wow, you have been busy. Everything looks fairly amazing as usual, old chap.

P.S.: Roll your pointer over the abbreviations :)

Tudorminator

Oops, the form stripped off the abbr tags, although the live preview was leaving them in place... sorry.

So that was:

”Brilliant As Usual and As Expected, Thanks for Sharing”

”Oh, Ernie, Poor Thing, Hope You Get Well Soon!”

”Take Kare (yes, should have been «Care» actually, but got you on that one, didn't I?) of Yourselves”

and, of course, ”Post Scriptum” :)

bearskinrug

Post Scriptum is my favorite cereal. How did you know?

burt

Kevin, when are you going to announce Mojo: The Movie? I have a feeling that's what you've REALLY been working on.

bearskinrug

I wish! I can't find a studio willing to put up with Mojo's notorious off-stage antics. He's like Marlon Brando, except WITHOUT talent.

Cliener von Cleanskin

Yay a new post! But… I’m still mildly disappointed at the lack of posts in May and so have decided to launch a partial boycott campaign against this site.

For the next few months, I will only read 95% of any given article and will try not to look at the bottom right corner of any images displayed. Further, my comments will be limited to no more than 950 words (down from 1000).

As harsh as these measures are, I feel it is the only way for me to clearly demonstrate the extent of my minor discontent.

@Tudorminator: the failings of the live preview lend even more weight to the partial boycott. Join in on the campaign to end this slight dismay!

Tudorminator

@Cliener von Cleanskin: Sorry, man, you're on your own. I can't boycott one of the very few things I'm still following with great pleasure, otherwise I might as well watch TV... yuck!

Tudorminator

@Bearskinrug: Man, you just blew your cover... it was just a lucky guess.

Anyway, I didn't know they made a cereal named Post Scriptum. It's how they call soy milk around these parts of the world, when they try to foul small children into drinking it. Just one of the reasons I hated Latin back in school.

bearskinrug

Cliener - Hey - this means you won't even notice if I don't finish articles or the bottom right of images! Sanctions are the ultimate timesaver!

JR

So, does this mean you and Ernie have matching shaved, hairless back patches?

bearskinrug

Quite the opposite. I actually have more hair on my back now. We had to graft most of my skin from a gorilla.

Phyllis

Awww, poor Ernie!! Doesn't anybody make doggie toupees? BTW, I love the image of Mojo with glasses on his tush!! Fantabulous!! :-D

Phyllis

Oh! And can you make my subconscious message "You will come into a large tax-free fortune and relocate to a lucious Bermuda villa, fully staffed, and live happily ever after, to the end of your insanely enviable life" ... ? I tried to get my hypnotherapist to, but he says he can't do that. What a quack.

bearskinrug

Sounds good to me. I'll give it a try in this very sentence.

bearskinrug

CRAP! I spelled tax wrong. You're going to come into a wax-free fortune, Phyllis. I hope you don't have any real attachment to candles.

Phyllis

Oh, good! A wax-free fortune would be much kinder on the bees! I'll just kick back then and wait for the wax-less dollars to roll in then! :-D

Stephen Schumacher

I won! now what to do with the prize money?

bearskinrug

Obviously, you need to go to a laundromat and dry your shirt with the EXPENSIVE fabric softener!
