"Every man sees in his relatives, and especially in his cousins, a series of grotesque caricatures of himself."

IF ...space
the final frontier. This is the caricature of the actor Leonard Nimoy. My never-ending mission: to explore strange new distortions, to seek out new forms and new proportions, to boldly draw what no man has drawn before.

IF ...shecret
Perhaps the funniest secret was that Sean Connery really didn't like the role of James Bond, and was reluctant to take the part from the start; Ian Fleming, who created the character, didn't think the Scottish actor was at all appropriate for the job ~~calling him an overgrown stuntman.
Now most Bond fans see him as the quintessential James Bond.
...interestingly, he only appeared in a total of 007 Bond films.

Coffee Mugs
Some folk arrive real early at the coffee shop because they're gonna meet their friends (an hour or so later)... what they want is to claim a specific table or location in the shop and then as their friends stroll in piecemeal all is fine. Except that the person who did the claiming has long since finished their coffee, had to sip all by their lonesome, is getting bed sores from sitting so long ~~and is totally out of sync with the rest of their group ~~who's had more sleep, are surrounded by friends immediately, and are on the upswing from their coffee...

IF ...shiny
When Debbie Harry added a pop sheen to her band's punk leanings, she made it big time with a shiny new heart of glass.
So polished on stage ~you could tell she was no debutante.

Coffee Mugs
A practitioner of white truths is responsible for bending reality just enough to clarify the inner person; black truths aim to kill.

IF ...hurry!
The United States, in urgent competition with other countries to first develop nuclear weapons, appointed the brilliant J. Robert Oppenheimer as the head of their secret weapons lab; by 1945 Robert had become the "father of the atomic bomb" along with the other Manhattan Project scientists.
Conflicted and outspoken, he later fought for international control of nuclear weapons until he was finally black-listed by the government during the McCarthy era.

Phthalo Moons ~strawberry
STRAWBERRY MOON
The June full moon is known as the Strawberry moon. This is so called as it is harvesting time for strawberries... This year we'll also harvest a Partial Strawberry Moon Eclipse, ~~which sounds more like a calorically dense dessert than a unique astronomical event. Regardless, at 3am pst the Earth will cast a shadow on part of the moon --like a slug lazying on a strawberry? ewww
