I think one of my favourite Groucho Marx quotes has got to be, "Time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana." Funny guy, that Groucho.
One of my favourite Rolling Stones songs has got to be Time Is On My Side, an oldy but a goodie from 1964. It was their first U.S. top 10 hit and they performed it on their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show.
But all that aside this theme gave me some trouble and as time ticked away I wracked my brain wondering what the heck I could come with. Seconds away from my deadline, I finally remembered what I had stashed in the bottom drawer of my bedside table. Yep, all the watches I've discarded over the last decade or so. There's seven watches in the picture. It would seem I'm a little poor at keeping time.
These watches may all have stopped at different times, on different times, but at least I know that twice a day they're accurate. That may be well more than me.
I think I've taken up enough of your time now.
Comments
;) Hey, I haven't slept yet - a bit of sarcasm is getting in everyone's comments today. Plus I can blame it on the Ambien! :)
I also love that Rolling Stones song.
All that aside, it's been interesting to see how my fellow participants have taken each day's theme, going in different directions than I would have expected. All to say, nicely played, sir, nicely played.
Just sayin'.
*smile*
And I wonder if we'll be seeing you on an episode of Hoarders. HA!
Your photo is great, though. I noticed that - intentional or not - the pattern on the coffee table resembles a pattern that one might find in a metal watchband. And I'll give you a big groan on the Groucho quote (which is a good thing).
;--)
I kinda thought "One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know" just didn't work here. Glad you liked the pic.
But I DO love your photos, and your watches. Can't believe you didn't sell them, or take them apart and make one super watch. These days I just rely on my phone for the time, but I could do a similar shot of old phones.
Amazing how your styles have changed throughout the years. There is the sophisticated Dufus, the athletic Dufus, the masculine Dufus, the stylish Dufus and the stud Dufus. But where is the Mickey Mouse Dufus? I still have my Cinderella watch. Love your photo. It shows so many textures!
A super watch. Now there's an idea. A super idea.
Although, I FEEL that old.
Stupid body of mine.
