A request
Once whilst trawling through the b3ta archives (previous qotws/Image Challenges/Talk Board stuff, I don’t know where) I found a post where that included a link to some Russian diagrams for ‘exercising’ little tots. As I dimly recall it seemed to have consisted of line drawings featuring some boffin in a lab coat of swinging sturdy babies by the arms & legs in all sorts of rather unorthodox ways, I’m not sure how it would benefit the kids actually. Looked like good craic though in a healthy swing the next generation proletarian kind of way. Anyway I tucked mental image in me head, perhaps t’would come in handy someday.

A few years later I’ve since acquired a child (bargain sale in alley behind Toys or Us) and find throwing him round the place is great for stifling most tantrums, is a brilliant recreational activity (esp. to that “Standing in the way of Control” song) & is a wow at birthday/Xmas parties delighting the kids frightening their parents (There’s a limit though, I can only manage to dangle 7{&up} year olds by their ankles) Beats talking bout golf swings & property prices.

Some of this behaviour is down to viewing this image in a legitimising fashion: “But Dear -/swing/weeee/-the Russian childcare medical establishment are-/swing/weeee/-an Authority on this!” never mentioning my source a certain puerile digital arts community.

I sometimes wonder whether if it exists or just a figment of me imagination or worse yet some wicked b3tan’s. Anyone got a clue what I’m goin on about?
