Anthropologists are all atwitter over the latest discovery of yet another undiscovered wood-age tribe: The Floater Tribe

The Floaters live high in the tree canopies harvesting food and spending a great deal of time socializing and engaging in tribal dances.

There is a very strict hierarchical social order that they all obey.  There are important social niceties and rituals for superiors and inferiors that incur great penalties if they are no followed.

This fellow is giving the traditional full stare given to a superior.  He was obviously impressed by our cameras and equipment and believed himself to be below our stature.

This higher classed individual is wearing the regal green of a leader.  His stance seems to be ambiguous towards us.  Almost giving us the submissive full-stare and yet giving the detached, quarter turn glance that a superior gives to one lesser than his or her place in their society.

You may say that such a rigid social structure is a bad thing, but who are we to judge how other civilizations decide how to run their own lives?  Now that the rest of humanity has made contact with this lost tribe it is only a matter of time until they change to match the rest of the world.  Until then, we in the anthropology community will study and learn all we can from them before they are assimilated into modern western culture.

I met Lady Toni at the Mandarin House in Overland for some Dim Sum this Saturday.  It was incredibly delicious and I recommend it to all.

Plus I found this awesome Chinese dragon/lion thing to googly outside.  I should have googled some of the food, but it was so tasty I forgot.

Emily C. from Penn State sent in this gem.  It’s the Nittany Lion shrine at Penn State with not only googly eyes but also FAKE EYEBROWS!  Love the combo, Emily!   Thank you for your wonderful submission.

“HALT!  Who dares approach the Sacred Pond of the Royals!  Be thee of royal blood?”

“No mere commoner may approach the Sacred Pond of the Royals!  Prove thyself to be worthy of its regal beauty!”

“You wear no crown!  You have no servants!  You lack any sign of verity of noble birth!  Depart or be destroyed!”

“Eh… What?  This isn’t the Sacred Pond of the Royals?  It’s just the back-patio pond at The Royale?  Oh… never mind then.  Please enjoy the pond and have a nice day.”

Hey, special thanks to The Royale for putting up with me for googling things.  I’ve heard some people say that the owner is getting a little cross with me every time he finds another googly eyed object on his property.  So, as a special thanks and apology for always putting eyes on things when I’m over there, I am going to put a permanent ad for The Royale on this site.

Also, I’ll be a bit better about always taking the eyes off of things when I’m done.  I guess it does count as littering, if not vandalism.

Once upon a time, there was a magical brick who could think and see and talk like a human being.  Long ago a magician who had been drinking gave life to the brick, who had then lived with the other non-magical bricks in a wall ever since.

But the magical brick was lonely because none of the non-magical bricks could talk and no human beings wanted to talk to a boring old brick in the wall, having better things to do.  So the brick one day wished with all his might that the adjacent bricks to him might come to life just like he had long ago.

Suddenly in a brilliant flash of light the magical brick’s wish was granted.  The other bricks began to look around and talk all day about their own opinions and dreams and beliefs.  For once the magical brick had someone to talk to.

But soon it dawned on the magical brick he had not been granted a wish, but a curse.  For you see, when human beings tire of each other they can just walk away and stop talking to someone.  The poor magical brick was now forced to listed to every single empty, meaningless, boring, vain and ignorant thing the other bricks would babble on about all day and night.  He wished with all his might that the other magical bricks might no longer be magical anymore and shut up… but alas, his second wish was never granted.

THE END

A special thanks to Lady Erin for helping me google the wall!

Today we have an Googlesday submission which we are showing early because I JUST CANNOT HOLD IT BACK ANY LONGER!

BEHOLD THIS EARLY GOOGLESDAY SUBMISSION FROM KIMBERLY T. FROM GAINESVILLE, FL!!!

We are talking over 200 googly eyes in one photo! Such incredible attention to detail!

Check out that incredible HFGA! (Hot Fern Googing Action)  Each fern frond fondly fronting it own funny fauna face!

Very fine use of the great gigantic googlies on this calamitous caladium!

And the use of differently sized googly eyes again shows a natural talent in the art of googly.

Best thing of all?  It was all part of an office prank!  Yes!  Googly eyes are now punking American offices and taking no prisoners!

I mean, okay… um…. wow!  I don’t know what to say, except I actually have even more googlies from Kimberly to post, and I’ll post a new set of hers come Googlesday (Tuesday).

Great work, Kimmy!  Stay googly out there in the Sunshine State and thanks again for letting me use your work on my site!

Archeologists and anthropologists have long agreed that the invention of the googly eye was one of the heralding events of human civilization.  It is hotly debated whether or not fire had been invented before googly eyes, but the influence googly eyes had upon the rise of civilization cannot be denied.

And to all a good googly!
