Hi. My name is Josef.
I say things. I do things. I go places.
I write fables.
You can expect me to keep doing stuff.
Here is a picture of my dog.

The Pig and the Dog
A Pig and a Dog were exchanging insults when the Pig swore by Aphrodite’s beauty to rip the Dog to shreds with her tusks.
“A grubby sow like you invokes her favor,” the Dog barked, “while she bars any stinking of your bacon from her temple.”

The Goat and the Donkey
A Goat was envious that a Donkey received an extra meal each day. He decided to deceive the Donkey under the guise of counsel.

The Dog and the Ferryman
A Dog stood before a roaring river, perplexed at how he might proceed. A Ferryman, resting along the river’s edge, recognized the look of bewilderment. “Allow me to take you across,” he offered.

Aesop's Fables: The Lion and the Bear
A Lion and a Bear were embroiled in conflict over a weakened fawn lying before them. The powerful swipes of claws and gnashing of teeth left both with gaping gashes and bruises.

Tried making pasta for the first time.
Honestly probably like a 6/10. I
think the dough was too dry. Used semolina flour.
Otherwise pretty fun experience. Super difficult to knead pasta dough.
Shout out to nonnas everywhere

Decided to make something to put all my scrap wood in to start. Now it’s much easier to store. Just used random pieces.

All of my leftover wood pieces from random projects. I was doing some garage cleaning and wanted to lay it all out.
Any project ideas? I’d love to make something out of this stuff

If you are an artist, I challenge you to depict a scene from my fable!
The Eagle and the Fox
A pregnant Fox sought a safe hollow to rest and birth her litter. She heard above in a tall fir tree the squawking from an Eagle’s nest. She requested permission to safely rest under the knot at the base of the tree.

Aesop's Fables: The Geese and the Crane
A lone Crane soared high above a marsh when he noticed a group of hunters cautiously trudging through the reeds towards a flock of Geese, oblivious in their gluttony to the approaching danger.

Just finished listening to @scalzi.com Scalzi’s ‘Agent to the Stars’. It’s about a Hollywood agent trying to help an alien break the news to humanity the exist through cinema:
A few interesting quotes:
“The people you elect are kind of scary”
“Venezuela has enough troubles as it is”
Fun listen

Babrius (2nd Century AD) was the first to take the biting satirical retellings of Aesop’s fables and cast them into elegant Greek rhyming poetry.
Babrius said he wanted to “adorn them with the flowers of his own muse.”
Fables are not fairy tales.

Roger L'Estrange (1616 - 1704) was a propagandist and defender of King Charles II. Later in life, he was stripped of his offices after a revolution in 1688.
L'Estrange also wrote one of the most lively collections of Aesop's fables in English.

Phaedrus (15 BC – 50 AD) is considered to be one of the first to translate Aesop's fables from Greek to Latin verse.
He was accused of satirizing Roman authority using the animals in the fables to mask his criticisms.

Just saw a man picking up his wife from the train station. It was raining, so he pulled up close and saw she was carrying something in her right hand. The man got out of the car and ran to her, through the rain, to help her carry her things.

They are too long for single posts so I’ll have to break them into threads and start posting them here.
