Speck

[JBSLJames]

How about a thread to talk about all things SPECKISH. They do not have to involve our own resident Speck76, but may if you would like to include your own insight into this most rare of creatures.

I'll start, I wake up every morning with eye goobers that my daughter calls "corner specks".

So let's be Speckish. I'm sure there are other names for this. Kinda like the Rich Hall "Sniglet" files.

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces." Matt: 7:3-6

I'll tell ya, some mornings, heck some days, that speck feels more like a 2 by 4.

Well written Matt But I didn't realize there were 36 days in July?


I will attempt to remove my 'plank' but it will be difficult since it is 'Rose' colored.

Hey, if you blow up the image and look real close, you can see Specks reflection in . . . Speck's eyes. . :hammer:

Great uses of the word Speck : Inspeck tor Gadget

Sorry, bad connotations on this one for me.

You all are far too young to remember this, but around 1967 a man named Richard SPECK broke into a house and killed 7 nursing students in Chicago.

One woman hid under the bed and survived.

It was horrific. I was 9 years old--old enough to read the paper and I was terrified. We were living in a town of 1000 at that time, and the likelihood of mass murder was remote at best, but my overactive imagination took over.

BTW--Speck died in prison a few years ago.

 

[JBSLJames]

I remember hearing about that. Did they make a made for TV movie of it?

No wonder you won't post a pic. :lookaroun

The first stage show I performed in was a comedy musical take on Star Trek called "Dazzle". In it the science officer with large ears is called "Speck"
