Pleasure

Submitted by Mo on Fri, 13/04/2012 - 13:00

Pleasure, for me, is almost entirely dependent on circumstance. I don't like chocolate when I'm hot, I don't like lager when I'm cold, but there is one single thing that is always pleasurable. The Cadbury Creme Egg.

So anyway, I was ~~fossicking through my great-great-great-grandfather's old suitcase,~~ meandering through the park this morning, counting squirrels and lyricising about long division, when I noticed a little beaver indulging himself.

You'd think he would have worn a bib, or strapped a leaf around his torso, or used a straw, but one thing is certain, he was experiencing pleasure at an extremely high level. There's something slightly guilty about his expression, it's almost as if he thought he could get away with it.

This is hysterical. He looks post-coital.

Trust me, he's not.

Mo - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 13:54

Trust me, he's not.

Oh yes. The Cadbury Creme Egg

meleah rebeccah - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 14:25

Oh yes. The Cadbury Creme Egg = DELICIOUS!

Of course I had to confiscate

Mo - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 14:34

Of course I had to confiscate it, poor little beaver.

I actually really like the

laughingmom - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 14:26

I actually really like the way you shot the flowers in the background. Genius! Now that beaver is gonna be on a sugar high for the next week!

I expect he'll be an unliving

Mo - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 14:33

I expect he'll be an unliving nightmare.

He's doing it to taunt me, I

Ziva - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 16:48

He's doing it to taunt me, I know it. He knows we don't have cadbury creme eggs in Finland, and now he's rubbing my face in it. And his own, literally! Next time you see the little bastard, make sure to drop-kick him all the way to Finland, okay? (And the creme egg, too.)

Now, the photo itself is brilliant. I love both the colors and the composition.

Funnily enough I did drop

Mo - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 16:56

Funnily enough I did drop-kick him to Finland, along with the creme-egg. Unfortunately I got my bearings wrong and it collided with a North Korean rocket.

"...collided with a North

"...collided with a North Korean rocket." Hahahahahahahahaha!

I take it you enjoyed that

Mo - Sat, 14/04/2012 - 09:02

I take it you enjoyed that one? I slipped that line in for you.

If that beaver wasn't dead

nonamedufus - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 16:57

If that beaver wasn't dead before he will be after eating that Cadbury creme egg. But what a pleasurable way to go.

You're right. That's how I

Mo - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 17:05

You're right. That's how I expect I'll die, poinsoned by a humongous creme egg.

Like your beaver, I love

MikeWJ - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 17:11

Like your beaver, I love Cadbury's Creme Eggs. They make me feel guilty, too. All that creamy, chocolately goodness in a convenient, mouth-sized package. They're almost better than sex, really.

This is a good photo, Mo, if silly, in keeping with your approach to the challenge. I'd love to see some of your real photos sometime.

Which sounds a little like I'm asking to see your etchings. I'm not, I swear. I think everything has sexual overtones today because of the theme, Ziva's porno mouth and my personal weaknesses.

Mate just doing this

Mo - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 17:17

Mate just doing this challenge has made me want to take 'real' photos again. I used to love doing that, but then a couple of kids arrived in our household and it stopped happening. I'm thinking that once this challenge is over I'll continue publishing 'real' photos, maybe dig out some of my old favourites - thanks for the encouragement.

I think Mike's a snob. Who's

Unfinishedperson - Sat, 14/04/2012 - 00:49

I think Mike's a snob. Who's to say that this isn't a "real" photo? :)

Hmmm. I've not edited any

Mo - Sat, 14/04/2012 - 09:04

Hmmm. I've not edited any photos in this series, other than the two provided by my ancient relatives I mean, so they are all "real". However I would like to take some "serious" photos again.Wait, Unfinishedperson, are you going to challenge that these aren't "serious" ?

I came skipping right across

Mr. Charleston - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 19:44

I came skipping right across the pond for this one. Visions of black negligee and leather swirling in my head. And what do I get? A beaver eating candy??? Mo, you've been locked up inside too long. Time to get out and look around bloke. I'm worried about you.

YOU'RE worried? Just think

Mo - Sat, 14/04/2012 - 09:05

YOU'RE worried? Just think how worried I am to know that you're worried about me.

Lordy this does bring a tear

jadedj - Fri, 13/04/2012 - 20:39

Lordy this does bring a tear to my eye as it reminds me of my dear ol' grandfather. He owned a flock or two of Cadbury Chickens there on his macaroni farm. I fondly remember awaking on many a morn looking out over the fields made golden by the rising Sun and blowing in the breeze. Of course, on occasion, a Cadbury or two, or three, or ten would escape and peck away at the mac, thinking it was worms. Gramps didn't seem to care however, as the Cadbury Omelets made by my grandmother made the wanton destruction worth it. Of course the creamy, fried chicken on Sundays was a bonus.

And then there were the damned squirrels...

I'm not convinced about that

Mo - Sat, 14/04/2012 - 09:06

I'm not convinced about that tear in your eye? I think you might be making this up.

I'm with Cheryl... :) He

Kristen - Sat, 14/04/2012 - 00:02

I'm with Cheryl... :) He does look terribly guilty and ... pleasured.

How CRAZY you posted this! I

Katherine - Sat, 14/04/2012 - 02:13

How CRAZY you posted this! I remember my FIRST Cadbury Egg. In High School. And I am 46!!!!!! Have you noticed they are smaller this year? Way smaller. No one else has noticed but me. Wondered if you have? For Easter, I shopped for baskets and there were NO CADBURY EGGS LEFT. None!!! NONE!!!!!! Now I have found a few 7-11's that have plenty left. Been getting one a day. OM NOM!

People watching is an art form. It requires dedication if not intoxication. You sir are a master craftsman...(Jimmy Bastard)
