Outlier

Submitted by Mo on Sat, 28/04/2012 - 13:00

I wasn't sure what to do for Outlier, especially as I wasn't familier with the term and failed to make time to prepare.

Fortunately I spotted a little beaver in the distance on his way away from a strange geological feature.

Plus it was an observation that I thought was unusual and hardly normal.

It's the best I could do.

I think this is perfect for Outlier, mostly because that clearly isn't a "geological feature", it's a UFO, the most outlier of or all things outlier. You are clearly a brilliant man.

I think that's the ship that was used in The Hunger Games. I don't know how you got the prop, but nicely done.

Easy, picked it up at a bounty-hunters' auction, dragged into the local park and placed the little beaver nearby.

Brilliant? That's a lovely thing to say, I thought I was simply mad.

Well, there's a very fine

Well, there's a very fine line between madness and brilliance, so I could be wrong. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I start to think you're simply mad. But a brilliant kind of mad.

Phew, I was worried you'd

Phew, I was worried you'd conclude that I'm brilliantly and madly simple.

Dear gawd! He's still nekkid!

Dear gawd! He's still nekkid! Please don't tell me he's going to be buck-nekkid for the last 2 days too.

There is nothing whatsoever normal about that picture. Then again, your definition of normal and mine may differ.

I'm not sure if I even have a

I'm not sure if I even have a definition of "normal".

I look at that picture and I have the theme song from the movie 2001 running round my brain. Don't know why. Just do. Of course, when I look at that beaver I have that toothpaste commercial for Ipana running around my brain: "Brusha, brusha, brusha, here's the new Ipana...

Is the effect that me, my photos and my beaver have on your head a good thing?

The beaver is outlying in his field.

Joke works better with "outstanding". Fail.

You are still a funny man.

I was THIS close to attempting the geological angle. I'm glad I didn't because this is perfect.

Glad you liked it, I took

Mo - Sat, 28/04/2012 - 19:11

Glad you liked it, I took this a month ago and didn't get the time to take one for today, just found this and thought it would do!

I think that little beaver

Laughingmom - Sat, 28/04/2012 - 16:13

I think that little beaver has been a liar, I mean outlier, for this whole non-competition.

In what way, I think he and I

Mo - Sat, 28/04/2012 - 19:13

In what way, I think he and I have been brutally honest throughout.

Nicky - Sat, 28/04/2012 - 17:32

I think the beaver on his own is an outlier - he definitely doesn't conform to anything - but I really like that rock. Nice shot, Mo.

I'm sure that somehow he

I'm sure that somehow he confirms to the strange and exciting nuances of my mind.

00dozo - Sat, 28/04/2012 - 18:27

I think the beaver has been helping you out all along in this challenge. He sensed that you were perplexed and unprepared for today's theme and was on his way to point out that this geological formation had no business being there whatsoever.

Helping? He's the bane of my

Mo - Sat, 28/04/2012 - 19:26

Helping? He's the bane of my life and hasn't helped me in a single way, though once he did open a door for me.

Malisa - Sat, 28/04/2012 - 20:38

I'm really gonna miss the beaver. Seriously. He has been part of my life for the last month and I've become attached to him. I'm gonna have beaver withdrawal in two days! Help!
