Welcome to the Jester's Kingdom. I hope you enjoy your stay. I'd offer you my second born to follow my blog via one of the handy links to the right, but you'd give him back. And I'm rather fond of him.
The Jester Queen welcomes you back to her kingdom. She's excited that her tendency to refer to herself in the third person hasn't scared you away.

Bwahaha! This was great, very creative.
Thanks! I'm having fun with these that allow me to play with images!
I took a picture of a newspaper, then meddled with the results.
Weird my comment on the last entry I read before yours was about little pigs. Anyway I loved this very creative!
I think the fairy tales struck pretty much all of us. Although now I'm trying to redo swan lake into Swine Lake.
"for the love of Mike . . . " hehe
ahem back to the devilish pigs and their bbw – schnort! I'll expect them in my BIP classes soon.
Think about it — he tried to huff and puff and blow their house down, but they gave him third degree burns when he tried to come down the chimney. Whose the worst abuser I ask you?
Simple and fun!
I get a kick out of fractured fairy tales. They've kind of always been one of my favorite things to write.
Adorable!
Muchas gracias!
the newspaper was such a clever way to post the story. Hilarious!
Thanks. I think I'll start manipulating images more often. That's getting to be really fun.
ROFL!!! I love this!!! Srsly, I LOL'd,,, I think hubby is annoyed. Oopsie! ;-D
The others are even more hilarious. Seriously – I'm sitting on http://viewsfromnature.com right now laughing at Cinderella
I think I may be reading too much "Best of Craigslist", BBW had me stumped for a minute. 😉
I was looking for something like "Single white male" to abbreviate him. Glad it came through in the end!
so creative! love the newspaper idea…………
best,
MOV
I've been having fun manipulating images with these short ones.
HAhahahahahahahahaha!!
Burned bum will out!
This is awesome! Perfect take on the prompt. I have to say this one stumped me and I had no ideas but this is brilliant.
I was relieved when so many of us went for fairy tales. My other option was Chaucer, and I don't think enough people really remember that English class stuff!
Sprinkle some of that creative fairy dust my way! Always original!
Sprinkling and poofing, as requested!
Jester, this is fabulous! I have been so busy, that I completely forgot about this weekend challenge. You my dear have turned it on its ear! Wonderfully creative.

Thanks! I was afraid I'd run out of time, since we were travelling, but I did finally get in there!
I absolutely adore this. SO very funny.
Thanks! I was truly stunned by the number of people who managed to link up with tragedies!
That. Was. AWESOME.
Creative, even just the torn pages was perfect. "BBW"….lol.
Thanks! I'm having fun playing with images in these shorties!
Sorry it took me so long to comment here. For some reason, my computer was not having it the other night. (Overuse.) Anyway, thank you for linking up to this week's Trifextra. Yours was certainly one of the funnier entries, and again I love the way you manipulated the images. BBW threw me for a minute, but then once I got it, it was made all the more enjoyable. Hope to see you back again soon.
The computer will only have so much of us at any given time!
Ha! I love it. How are you putting the images together?
Probably the reeeally hard way, since I don't have photoshop. In this case, I took a photograph of a newspaper, then dropped it into MSPaint. I copied a section of the picture that didn't have any text, then enlarged that to be my working field. used the mouse to draw (in a separate file, since paint can't do layers) the 'torn out' frame. I used My Memories Suite to fuse those two images, then I copied and pasted the fused image into Paint again. (I forget why this step was necessary. It probably wasn't.) I don't remember how I got rid of the newspaper image outside of the 'frame'. Probably just erased it. Except I do remember that when I pulled the image back into My Memories suite three times, I just inserted a random circle on top of the text so that CLASSIFIED ADS looks like it has been torn off. Then I added the text in My Memories Suite and saved and exported the image.
Fun, fun, fun! I love it. Very clever and I'm thoroughly entertained. I appreciate the recasting of the story. It's very fresh.
Trifecta is so much fun. I'm working my way through fool now!
