Tales of humour, whimsy and courgettes
Grey Moon – Thursday (ep. 50)
“I remember working for an advertising agency for claustrophobic folk,” said Yuffie.
“You what?” asked Reala.
“Oh yes, a whole building full of claustrophobic people creating new advertising campaigns,” replied Yuffie.
“Where they any good?” asked Fuen.
“Well,” said Yuffie, “they were more productive when thinking outside of the box…”
A teensy bit of market research if you please. This week I am re-filling my Etsy store, but I have a quandary. On Etsy, you can upload five or more images of a product. So the first image is the one that sells the product, then the others are different frame colours and close-ups of the paper. My debate is which do I use for a storefront ‘sales’ image.
A wee question to you good folk. Which one of the below images would do a better job of selling you an art piece?
The moody dark Threadless image.
The light and airy Etsy frame image.
If you can spare me a moment of your time, let me know in comments.
Cheers!

Edited to add: To clarify, I am only selling the art print, not a frame or coat hanger. (Thanks, Marge!)
“What now Stephi?” asked Chris.
“We create new life,” replied Stephi.
She forced him onto his back, he laughed. She leant over him, her face close to his.
“Good start,” grinned Chris.
Stephi’s face began melting, oozing onto Chris’ face. Finding his nostrils, covering his eyes, filling his mouth.
“I was hired as a party planner,” said Saturn.
“Oh, that must have been fun,” said Reala.
“It was quite,” replied Saturn. “One time I had to organise a party in space.”
“Blimey,” said Reala. “How did you pull that off?”
“Ah,” said Saturn, “I had to planet…”
“I got fired from a few jobs,” laughed Yuffie.
“Oh god, me too,” replied Reala.
“Years ago, I got fired from a calendar factory,” moaned Yuffie.
Fuen and Reala raised an eyebrow.
“All I did was take a day off,” sighed Yuffie.
“I worked at a British biscuit factory,” said Reala. “The boss called me a dozy once!”
“Bet that naffed you off,” said Saturn.
“I was ruddy livid,” said Reala. “I was so angry I threw a biscuit at her.”
“Did you hit her?” asked Fuen.
“She ducked and I missed,” sighed Reala.
Yuffie laughed. “Jammy Dodger…”
Capricorn (ep. 72)
The tentacles pulled her closer. Skin pierced. Push down, fluid moving.
“Shuheretar,” uttered the beast.
“Whatever you say, mate,” she replied, kicking at its face.
Six rows of teeth came down on her ankle. She screamed. Her other leg was sucked deep inside the beasts mouth.
She knew what came next. But she wondered if the beast knew she had 500mls of poison coursing through her veins.
“I had a bad interview with a publisher once,” sighed Reala.
“What went wrong?” asked Yuffie.
“The interviewer kept asking me to spell ‘part a’ backwards,” replied Reala.
“Ah,” nodded Saturn. “It’s a trap.”
“While we’re talking about jobs,” said Yuffie, “I once wrote a joke book about avoiding employment.”
“Ah, so you’re an author?” asked Reala.
“Mmhmm,” replied Yuffie.
“Did the book sell well?” asked Saturn.
“No,” sighed Yuffie. “None of the comedy worked.”

“I applied for a job at an eraser factory last week,” said Fuen.
“Oh aye,” replied Reala. “How did it go?”
“Not sure,” replied Fuen. “It was going well until they asked me what I thought qualified me for the job.”
“And?” pushed Yuffie.
“I handed them a blank resume and told them I thought my work would speak for itself,” sighed Fuen.
