Ah, here you all are - Welcome to the 6th annual Terrifying Triffidery extravaganza!
Gathered here for your bewilderment and horror are some of the finest specimens of triffidery from across the globe. And possibly from other globes, too.
As always, the Bloggerati who supplied them did not see fit to provide any labels so it is up to you to identify these menacing monstrosities and from whom they originated. The originators are listed on the poster above and, to make things a little more complicated, some of them supplied more than one triffid. Good luck!
A word of warning: Some of the specimens are mobile or have prehensile tendrils, so do keep your distance from the enclosures as you go by, and be sure to strap yourselves in.
The Hexenhäusli Device woodsman is on hand to ensure your safety and provide a demonstration of how to secure your extremities should you need it.
(I have personally gone through this with him several times - for certification purposes, of course - and still find myself somewhat breathless such was his enthusiasm and vigour!)
Oh, and please note: The Management cannot be held responsible for loss of limbs/head/life, and We hope you all manage to get through the tour relatively unscathed. Or at least manage to Stay Alive...
Yes, we watched Romy and Michele's High School Reunion the other day. I love their dance routine to N-Trance's version of "Stayin' Alive" which is why I've featured it here!In fact, I've picked another Hallowe'en-adjacent song from Romy and Michele for later in this post.
Here's the full track for those who are interested:
We also watched Brokeback Mountain, but there weren't any horrors in that.Well, except for Anne Hathaway's early 70s hair and Jake Gyllenhaal's fake gut.Ew. Yuck! Yes, that's right. Quick, put on the other Romy and Michele song to take our mind off them!Here it is: "Venus Flytrap"!Sigh... Or just "Venus":
Right. Here we go! Please leave your guesses in the Comments at the end.
If you make it that far, that is...
TT #1 : I suspect these full, luscious lips would rather part and eat you alive than pucker up for a kiss.
TT #2 : Hoodies stringing up a hare?
TT #4 : Did someone go back in time to take this photo of a stegosaur graveyard?
TT #5 : Oh, shit. It's the War of the Worlds!
TT #6 : Nightmare Hattifatteners!
TT #7 : I don't like the look of these lungs. Or are they kidneys?
TT #9 : Neurons at Christmas
TT #10 : Sheathed monstrosities!
TT #11 : Is this the Triffids' home planet?
You made it! Well, some parts of most of you made it, anyway. Don't bother going back to retrieve anything that may have become detached from your person - glasses, handbags, arms etc. - as I'm sure they would have been devoured by now.
Pop back in a couple of days time for the official commencement ceremony of the 2025 Infomaniac Garden Photos Event - and to find out who sent in these triffids and what they mutated from. See you then!
P. S. For anyone reading who would like to take part in this year's GPE, there's still time. Just email your photos to me (email address in my profile at the top of the Sideboard on the right) by Tuesday 4th November, please.
Scary!
ReplyDeleteIf I have to guess, I'd say the "neurons" are Ms Scarlet's, and that "protuberance" has to be yours! The "stegosaurus", possibly Mago's? The "lips", Maddie's?
This is more difficult than I thought.... Jx
Happy All Hallows Eve!!!!! YAY! Great submissions! Now this is tough.
ReplyDeleteI think 1 is Mitzi. 5, might be Jon's. Reminds me of a salvia flower. 3 might be yours. I heard you have a big swollen, red, huh...well, just unzip. 7 for some reason might be Nations. 2 looks artistic, so my guess there is Scarlet. The rest I'm stumped.
Why aren't your pants down yet!!!!! I need to see if 3 is you.......
I think you took the last one from a book about dermato-veneral diseases. Or it is just a close-up of an apple ?
ReplyDeleteI like all of them, but especially numbers 2, 6 and 9.
WIll return with a guess.
