I am starting a new series today that I hope will keep my readers amused over time.
So many people have interesting things on their walls. I have shared a few things over the years with my readers including a plaster nose. You can view that post by clicking here. Since I already posted probably the oddest thing I have on my wall I had to come up with something else to kick off this series.
I had to actually take this off the wall to photograph it without shadows and reflections so I guess it really should be titled “Off the Wall” but you get the idea.
So what is it? The caption on this work of art is “A Longneck and 6 Stubbies”. Now to my US friends this may mean nothing whatsoever. But to my Aussie friends –they totally understand what this picture means.
A long neck is just like it sounds —a beer bottle with a long neck. A stubby on the other hand is a beer bottle with a very small neck. In the picture there is one “longneck” and 6 “stubbies” following behind. So there you go— a little Aussie humor for you. Chris picked this out someplace when we lived in Australia and it always makes me smile when I see those silly cassowaries .
So what do you think? Let me know if you want me to continue this series over time. You never know what might be on my walls.

Leave a commentGreat sense of humor and now I have picked up some Aussie vernacular. Have a good week.
They are very “Punny” and their sense of humor is very interesting. At times they did not really understand my sense of humor I think but we worked it out. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
A great picture and one that must bring back some wonderful memories of your time in Australia. I am looking forward to more of these posts.
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love you have something on your wall which means something.
Thanks so much, Judy. We have a lot of interesting artwork and objects on our walls but this one is one that makes me giggle every time I see it.
Well, the nose was awesome! Will there be any other body parts?
Glad you enjoyed the nose. We do have a quirky sense of humor. No more body parts on my walls that I can think of today. 🙂
Yes, great idea! By the way, I might need your photo skills….
Always available for help although I am far from professional!
Yes, I would love to see more of what hangs on your walls. Last week I took a photo of two photos on my fridge and sent them to my son. One is of the two of us taken in Boston a year ago and the other is a pic of him from elementary school. He appreciated that I have these on my fridge because he actually texted me back (which doesn’t often happen).
I love that you sent those to Caleb. Our kids don’t always realize that we miss them and when they respond to texts, etc. it makes a mama’s heart happy, right? Glad you liked my series. I will continue it over time. 🙂
Yes, the text response made my mama’s heart happy.
I do miss my boy. It’s been too long, 4 1/2 months. I don’t think he realizes how much I miss him.
I asked my mom once if she missed me when I left for college. She told me no, that she was too busy with four other kids still at home.
I think it’s a neat idea! Should be very interesting! But, I need advice on how to photo something under glass…. I’ve never found a way to avoid the reflection.
Glad you like the idea. I actually just took it off the wall and laid it on the floor and positioned it so I could take the pic without my reflection in it. Sometimes it works better than other times.
This is a fun idea for a series. I love this photo too.
Thanks, Jeni. I saw this idea someplace (who knows where) on tv or something. But I thought “hey–I have stuff on my wall so I could do this”.
