The Nail That Stands Out

So everyone knows what happens to the nail that stands out…

It gets hammered down!

Deviation from the norm or the groupthink is met with a resounding klop on the head. 

You conform or you face the guillotine. 

Way too dystopian. 

Freedom, individuality, diversity, self-expression—these are the engines of innovation and growth. 

If every nail gets hammered down, you have a society that implodes with inbreeders and Stone Age stale ideas. 

Tradition is one thing, a closed mind is something that is an extinction level event. 😉

Long Nails

Ran into this lady in South Florida. 

Couldn’t help but notice the nails. 

She told me she’s been growing them like this for 29 years!

I asked if she had any difficulty typing, driving, or anything. 

And she told me she does everything with them.

No, I don’t think that I want to touch these things. 

I’m only getting as close as the camera. 😉

The Nails Exploded!

So it continues to be amazingly sad how there can be a large terror attack in the UK yesterday, but still many of our weak politicians and fake news media can’t readily admit the simple truth about the war with radical Islamic terrorism.

A nail bomb goes off at a concert in one of the largest arenas in Europe killing at least 22 and wounding 59 mainly teenagers attending a rock concert, and the headline is:

“Suspected Terror Attack”

Uh, who would’ve suspected that?

Perhaps it could have just been a large pile of nails lying around exploding at the box office and killing people?

Stupid, stupid, stupid…

Shameful, shameful, shameful

We live amidst brazen lies to the people, grotesque political correctness, and unbelievable media spin.

 

And yes, that’s how we might end up losing a big one someday. 😉

Applause, Applause.

I took this photo in the mall at a nail salon.

They were advertising nail art and these were some life-like examples.

At first it seemed weird, these hands, fingers, and nails just placed out there–sitting on a table top.

Not sure whether it reminded me of the hand on The Addams Family or someone giving the finger–lots of them–or everybody applauding.

When I stopped to take a picture, the lady inside tried to convince me to try it and get mine done.

Uh, I don’t think so, but those are some very beautiful nails. 😉
