Puzzle Games

Find the hidden object

I admit to wasting time on the Internet. What really pisses me off is to have my solitaire game interrupted by an ad for games that challenge one to find the hidden object. The graphics are terrible and the challenge posed by such games would only puzzle a three year old or an Alzheimer’s patient.

The blog at Sad and Useless have come up with an alternative, based on real world scenarios. It is more challenging than the animated games. It is called “Find the Dog Turd.” It has a practical application for those who insist on interrupting dog communications.

I am against picking up dog turds. Anybody who has ever walked a dog knows that for dogs, taking a dump is a creative process. Dogs spend a lot of time before deciding that a particular spot needs a turd. There is nothing casual about it. Imagine Pablo Picasso staring at a blank canvas, paint brush in hand. Paint, brush, and canvas are all mundane things. However, when he steps back and proclaims “Finis” what remains is art. Could it be that, to a dog, stealing a turd falls into the same category as whitewashing a Picasso work?

If I am right, imagine the resentment building in your dog. Sure, when you wake and find the dog staring at you, it could be love. It is equally possible Rover could be dreaming of tearing out your throat as you sleep. Sweet dreams.
