Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

It is a funny little distraction if you have the time to browse.

Here are a few of my favourites:

irony


ebay


crack


manwich


expression

I have seen these before, they are on My Space as comments to friends. There is also a collection of funny retro posters that are great.

I must say I do rather like the Ebay one the Expression one and the Manwich. Good finds.

hi Betray The Oracle,
we must have similar taste!
i dont think eBay has really thought through their auto-advertising??
Manwich and Expression are both fantastic pics!
thanks for the comment

There's two massive sites of these that I keep an eye on occasionally: The Burning Biscuit and the Demotivator Blog.

The originals (most of which are on BBiscuit) were genius. Since then it's turned into a pile of rubbish, with people doing slogans rather than demotivation. Look back at things like 'Potential', 'Success' and 'Teamwork' for the really good ones!

Comment by Morgan Bell

hi Spike,
oh no, ive disappointed a fan of the originals . . .
here, ill post the ones you like so everything is hunky dory

teamwork


success


potential


thanks for the links to the original collections

LOL, thank you Morgan. I feel special now.

I like some of the new ones: I just think they should be called something different, since they're not really demotivationals!

(That 'Expression' one is the kind of thing I'd expect to find the techies at a previous job doing for real...)

Comment by Morgan Bell

March 25th 2009 13:24
hi Spike,
yeah i can definately see the difference
one set (the originals) have stayed within the same structure and language as actual motivational posters, whereas the new breed only vaguely resemble what they are parodying . . . i think you have a valid point, and im glad we have the originals to compare and contrast

A very nice pictures with some "demotivate" words here, Morgan.

PS: By the way, I think the "Manwich" should be changed into "Deathwich", as the person who eat it will meet the death very soon...lol

Comment by betray the oracle

March 26th 2009 02:19
lol. That's ok Wilson. Just shut the fuck up and eat it.

Comment by Jason King

Dang - I had been collecting some of these for Total Randomness - will dig them up and add to this. There is a whole website that you can buy even the funny ones from. Cool post!
The bear one is by far my fave

So that's what a popular post on Orlbe is all about?

I must learn to cut & paste.

hi Wilson,
if you cant eat the Manwich without dying then youre not a man! lol



hi Betray The Oracle,
haha now thats the idea!



hi Jason,
id love to see a post you did on the same topic, i think the ones you would choose to display as your favourites probably say alot about your personality!

lighten up you miserable bastard

March 26th 2009 06:46

Comment by betray the oracle

March 26th 2009 09:41
Noooooo. I haven't lured anyone else to Adeliade.... yet... =P I'll have to go find some of my own posters of this kind.


...but later.

Ooh do I detect a hint of jealousy in that comment David?

Grow up!

Comment by Morgan Bell

March 26th 2009 12:50
hi Betray The Oracle,
i got all my requests . . . approved, approved!




hi alt_ed,
he is the little green spammer of Orble . . .
green eggs and spam!
for someone who hates my posts so much, hes always sure to leave a comment, i think hes lonely and its some desperate attempt at human interaction

Comment by alt_ed

March 26th 2009 12:56
Lonely? David? That's absurd! Why his caravan is a veritable pussy palace... he's thoroughly acquainted himself with the finest $50 hookers Brisbane has to offer.

And, I hear he's even conned his Mother to join in on occasion. David is her 'carer' you see, and as such, likes to take care of her 'needs'.

- David, concurring MILF's since 1999!

I love the bear, that cracked me up! The Irony one has always been one of my faves.

I love posts that give you a giggle, it's good to have something light and breezy to chuckle at when the news of the world is so often bad. That's why I do them myself.

I've refrained from saying anything before now because I have no issue with said person myself but seriously, David, what the fuck is wrong with you? You seem to stalk Morgan from post to post just to leave a snarky remark. What is the point? It is just making you look petty and jealous that her posts are popular. If you don't like her, her writing or her posts then why bother visiting them? Do you honestly have nothing better to do? We've engaged in some nice intelligent debate on occasion so this behaviour has me totally baffled.

I don't know why you don't delete the comments Morgan. I, for one, am getting sick of seeing them.

Keep up the nice lighthearted posts, I love a good giggle after a hard day. I may go off and do one myself

hi alt_ed,
are you trying to make my readers vomit?



hi Cheryl,

re: David
i think Davids petulant comments just reflect badly on him, im sure everyone is bored with his attention-seeking behaviour
if he wants to make himself look like a tool, then hes succeeding
his main gripes seem to be that im too nice and that people enjoy my posts too much
i actually feel sorry for someone who has such a bitter pointless existence
i know other Orble users that he also spams and they generally delete his idiotic remarks, which is fair enough, but i dont mind letting them stand . . . hes just a bully, and the only person hes making look bad is himself

re: The Rest of Your Comment
yeah i think its good to mix it up a bit, i like posting on inspirational people and events, and important news and politics esp pertaining to the queer community, but sometimes you just wanna laugh at a Manwich!
an anecdote from everyday life . . .
a progress report on civil rights . . .
a new gadget or trend . . .
a few animal pics . . .
AND A MANWICH! haha
diversity is the spice of life!
glad you enjoyed the bear
