A Barb...A Spike...A Raymond Burr

I got some packages in the mail this morning, and I had to rip them open. A couple of knock-off batteries, 2 remote controls, and some close-up filters for my better lens.

The jury will be out on the batteries, the remotes both work...but...but...those close-up filters are another story.

I must not have the touch. 100 pictures taken...about 3 in focus. They put the TRA in frusTRAtion...they put the DEN in madDENing. I'm sick of going back to the drawing board. I WANT TO DRAW NOW!! Perhaps it's time to go visit Mr. Google, and see if I can get any lessons.

This little weed will really stick it to you...hence the title. Barb, or Mr. Burr will stick its hooks into you, and refuse to let go.

ONE thing I do like about the picture is that you can see why it hangs on. The barb, or the hooks... work like natures velcro...making it hard to remove them without leaving some barbs on your clothes.

Famous Barbs in history? Streisand...Bush...Bain...Eden...Stanwyck...Walters. That's all I could think of. Barbara Walters impression (doing an interview.) "If you were a twee...what kind of twee would you be?"
