Dung

Fresh horse dung has the power to instantaneously turn the pookies into pigs...

 I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

(Churchill)

Sleep

YAAAAAAAWWWWWWWN....

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
(In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.)

(H.P. Lovecraft) 

Distraction

Wilma experiences difficulties grasping the concept of a bone.

 

"It might be that an analytical approach will give me insight in the purpose of this thing...

...it is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in...

 

...however, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds...

 






...any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds...

...so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero...
  

 
...from this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero...

 

 

...any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination...

...okay, I give up. Can somebody please instruct me how to use this thing."

Rocking and rolling

 

The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

(Kafka) 

Pear

Wilma and Peet caught in the act of stealing the neighbors' pears...

The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously.

(Nietzsche)

Save the universe

Peet and Wilma form a team. Wilma is helping Peet to regain his self confidence. In return, Peet is acting as a role model for the training of Wilma. She is a clever hound and the people in the shelter taught her already a few basics. Today we were training the 'stay' command.

However, while Peet maintains his stoicism, Wilma's attentional span does not appear to be very large...

 My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fibre, and that I am therefor excused from saving Universes.

(Ford Prefect)

Gardening

This is my plant. There are many like this but this one is mine...

An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make a better soup. 

(H. L. Mencken)

Perception

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

(Aldous Huxley)

Sun block

Sometimes you have to help out a stubborn old dog who's refusing to lay in the shade...

The sun is gone but I have a light.

(Kurt Cobain)

The towel

A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

(Douglas Adams)

Peetman

Quick Robin, hand me the shark repellent spray.

(Batman)

Calculation

With affection beaming out of one eye, and calculation shining out of the other.

(Charles Dickens)

Chasing

Bas and Peet during one of their endless 'catch-me-if-you-can' games. Preferably played on expanded empty spaces. Sometimes I am lucky enough to capture a bit of improvisational theatre; Bas' and Peet's free expression of a folkloric ghoul. It might look vicious but to them it is merely a game, almost a dance. 

Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane. 
(H.P. Lovecraft)

Trick

The fox has many tricks. The hedgehog has but one. But that is the best of all.
(Erasmus)

Hide and seek

Oh, how much is it expected to hide! 

(Nietzsche)

Sarcasm

"I think you're all stupid, pfftltt...."

Squid

Look, I found a squid....ow wait.

Wave

What do you mean: "There is a wave coming"?
