Ignoring warning labels and directions
Jack Brummet, Warnings & Disclaimers ed.
You know, some things only work right if you ignore the warning labels, directions, disclaimers, and instructions. Two that come to mind are Q Tips and alcoholic beverages. "DO NOT INSERT IN EAR CANAL" and "Drink responsibly." and then,"“Do Not Consume Raw Cookie Dough," “For Tobacco Use Only”
Maybe some prescription drug directions too? There must be dozens more. . .

Vladimir Lenin's red hand
By Jack Brummet, Seattle Metro Ed.
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin's Red Hard, from the statue in Fremont (right across from my office) at Fremont Place and N. 35th Street. The statue was constructed by a Slovak Bulgarian sculptor, Emil Venkov, under a commission from the Soviet and Czechoslovak governments.and was installed in 1988. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union dismantled itself the following year, and a lot of Soviet artifacts ended up in the scrap heap. A Seattle man found the 16 foot tall, seven ton sculpture face down, mortgaged his house, bought it, and moved it to Seattle.

A gathering of White House superheroes. Say what you will about Dick Nixon, he lasted longer in the West Wing than anyone else in this lineup, except RWR.

A morph of me and my son Colum
By Jack Brummet, Photography Ed.
This photo from a Mashable post today looks like a morph of my son Colum, and a younger me. It's a little shocking how close it looks aside from the shape of the eyebrows.
