More creepy pears with hardware. What can I say? It’s Monday.
Mac McDonald: “Charlie, give him the pear.”
Charlie Kelly: “I can’t. I just ate it.”
Mac McDonald: “The whole thing?
Charlie Kelly: “Yeah. It was pretty gross. And…”
Mac McDonald: “The stem and the… and the core and…”
Charlie Kelly: “You didn’t tell me not to eat the stem, dude!”
Mac McDonald: “Did you eat the stickers that are all over it?”
Charlie Kelly: “Yeah, it was gross!”
Mac McDonald: “Of course it’s gross, it’s a sticker, bro!”
Charlie Kelly: “I eat stickers all the time, dude!”

What did that poor innocent pear ever do to you?
Hahaha…
oh, so many things!
I… just can’t happen to think of a single thing right off the top of my head for some reason…
🙂
I like your creepy pears. 🙂
I was hoping you might, S.E!
Thank you!
🙂
I like creepy pears too! 🙂
Very kind of you to say, BP!
Thank you!
🙂
What was more fun – attacking the pears or taking the picture?
Creepyly delicious.
Good question, Ms. D!
This one goes back in the archives a ways so I’m trying to remember…
seems like maybe it was more difficult to get the pears to ‘hang-together’… so I think I’d say taking the photo was more fun… maybe… I think…
🙂
At first I thought this was a dead ewok.
Somewhere,
off in a distant galaxy,
George Lucas is crying…
🙂
George Lucas never cries, his tears have been mummified. Great work SIG.
Frozen in carbonite, perhaps?!
Thanks so much, N.M.!
🙂
The Bosc pear in my fridge is afraid….VERY afraid! 🙂
Hahaha…
just tell it to hide in the crisper drawer, M.P…
no one ever remembers what gets put in those crazy things, right?!
🙂
These pears look like their in bondage…lol
Hugs to you and Anabelle, xx
Ha! They certainly don’t come from the grocery store like that, do they?!
Thank you very, very much Deb!
🙂
Completely depends on where you shop….
Red.
Ha!
‘Please check this weeks circular for great savings on stapled pears…’
🙂
Looks like an epic battle at sea with heavily armed fruit instead of battleships.
WWII would probably have been a lot shorter if the war with Japan was fought this way.
Might make for an interesting board game, too.
I-7?
Great.
You sunk my pear.
🙂
Can you say…..FOOD FIGHT!!!! ?
Red.
Duck and cover!
Duck and cover!
🙂
Those pears have been well and truly punked, somewhere in there I see Sid and Nancy. Fantastic!
Hahaha… or Ashton Kutcher, I guess!?
Thanks much, Ms. K!
🙂
I actually, truly brought a pear for lunch today. Maybe I’ll go to McDonalds.
HA!
Sorry about that, Peg!
I’d recommend a number one. Large. With a Coke.
Just sayin’.
🙂
Interesting 🙂
Thank you very much, Eden!
🙂
I thought it was a monster from the deep . . . or the wreckage of a sunken ship . . . or the worm in the bottom of a bottle of tequila.
Fruit was the last thing on my mind. 🙂
I can definitely see those things in this…
that’s my favorite part about these things… watching/hearing people interpret them…
it’s like a Rorschach test… with vitamin C!
🙂
Hm, it looks really interesting Mr. SIG 🙂
It is a bit ‘unusual’, isn’t it, Ms. B?
But as long as it gets folks ‘wondering’ I’m happy!
🙂
Awesomely creepy SIG, very cool
Many thanks, Astra!
It’s… ‘something’, anyway!
I hope!
🙂
What a real interesting image SIG… Nicely presented too, and kinda creepy, which is always good..
Thanks much, F.S.!
This one goes back a-ways (maybe 5 years old +/- already?)…
when the concept came to me at 3:00 in the morning it seemed like a good idea.
This is probably why I shouldn’t keep a pen and notebook on my dresser!
🙂
Just when I thought you couldn’t be cooler, you go and throw that quote out there. One of my favorite, favorite shows!
Me, too, Ms. N!
I was barely able to ‘transcribe’ this quote because I was laughing so hard…
I was really hoping it would be popular…
a bit surprised more folks didn’t mention it!
🙂
There goes your dinner…
Hahaha…
Seemed like a good idea BEFORE I started to get hungry…
🙂
those pears look pretty scary.
but off the record, i think it’s all just an act. deep down inside they are soft as a marshmallow – or actually more like a ripe pear. 🙂
I’m sure every pear has a soft side…
well…
if they hang around on the counter for too long, anyway.
🙂
Hey Punk Pears how wicked 🙂
I like this one SIG, it is still life
but rather abstract in form 🙂 🙂
Thank you for adding your fine
creativity my great friend and do
enjoy the rest of your evening 🙂
Androgoth
Looks like something from the zombie files. Kinda Frankenpear, no?
Red.
xxx
Or maybe the Hunchpear of Notre Dame 🙂 😉 lol
Androgoth XXx
ROFL! I love it!
Red.
xxx

*bong… bong… bong….*
(hahaha… that was supposed to be a bell… sounds a bit flat, though…)
🙂
Yes flat as a Wombie pancake that bell of yours SIG
but it certainly made an impression, nothing as grand
as your Punk Pears though 🙂 They are wicked 🙂
Have a ghoulishly fine evening SIG 🙂
Androgoth
Hahaha…
I’m not sure which cracked-up first…
me or the bell!
Many thanks, A.G.!
I hope you have a wonderful evening as well, sir!
🙂
I am just leaving for the morning,
I need my coffee, well it makes a
change from that Red stuff 🙂 😉
Have a great Thursday SIG 🙂
Androgoth
Caffeine… the breakfast of champions, eh, A.G.?!
I’m about to have about 2 liters of mine…
in Cola form!
Hope you have a good one, too, A.G.!
🙂
It’s… ALIVE!
(Or, at least reasonably high in Vitamin C, anyway…)
🙂
Definitely good for making one FEEL alive 😉
Red.
Hahaha…
indeed!
That and several gallons of caffeine!
🙂
I was hoping this one wasn’t too over the top.
I try to space posts like this out a bit. Which is funny, because when I was in school (as I was when I created this), I tended to do the exact opposite. Interesting how audience kind of pulls the direction of my subject matter…
Anyway, very happy to hear you liked this one, A.G.! It was a lot of fun to put together!
I hope you have a wonderful evening as well, sir!
Thanks again!
🙂
ok wow.
i haven’t seen the previous posts so i was looking at that for a while before i started reading and saw they were pears.
gees. i was like is this something from SAW II?
hah! great photos as always and i’ve missed you! thanks for not giving up on me.
Oh no! You stopped by on creepy pear day?!
I knew I should have posted something more cordial!
Thanks so much, BD…
And never! That’s not how the refrigerator rolls!
(that sounded better in my head…)
🙂
Is that a doll’s hand sticking out of a stapled pear??
One day I’m going to have to come over there and rescue all the pears from you!
Don’t worry…
no dolls were harmed in anyway in the production of this photo…
just staples, nails and a zipper (basically the random contents of my ‘junk’ drawer… any excuse to clean that mess up every now and then, you know)!
🙂
The pear in the picture doesn’t look like a pear to me. My mind thinks of something else which is creepier. > u <
I can see that!
This one definitely tends to raise a few eyebrows…
(which is a sign people have noticed it, anyway, I hope)!
🙂
Dude I love this. looks like something out of wonderland.
Many thanks, JB!
Most times I do something like this just to see how folks react to it…
always fun to see how different people react to different things!
🙂
Pears from a garden tended by Lewis Carroll and H.P. Lovecraft.
And a healthy dose of MiracleGrow, too…
(although I’m not sure the good folks there wish to have their product associated with this photo…)!
🙂
I thought it was a knight from Monty Python….come back ya chicken, it’s only a flesh wound!!!!
But… I fear the wound has become gangrenous…
🙂
I’m so glad you said pears b/c all I’m seeing are football helmets.
Hahaha…
‘Fruit, 22…
Fruit, 22..
Hut, Hut…’
🙂
Hmm. It’s a bit difficult to understand this art.
It must have a deep meaning.
This one is a bit unusual, that is for sure!
Hopefully it means different things to different people…
but most of all I just hope it grabs some attention (and creates a response of some sort)!
🙂
Oh my! That poor pear. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just eat it? 🙂
Hahaha… absolutely!
I might have done all this just so I wouldn’t have to eat the pear, though!
😉
I recall recently reblogging Arindam’s post about the Kohinoor Diamond and discussing some of the historical ways in which tribes carried off the trophies of successful campaigns – specifically mentioning the taking of opponents heads and shrinking them. Clearly you’ve been keeping up with my blog Bob but it was never my intention that you should carry experiments in this area…
Pears…I’ll believe you… interesting art work. Wasn’t there a knife and staple-gun wielding murderer in that B Movie I watched last weekend 😉
Good stuff as always – gave me lots of ‘wild’ ideas 🙂
Hahaha…
fortunetly the only injuries sustained during the making of this photograph were minor ones…
(those staples are kinda’ sharp)!
Ha! Very possibly! Although B work is a bit above my pay-grade, Martin…
maybe some day, though… maybe some day!
Many thanks, sir! Very happy to hear it was something to think about!
🙂
Instant classic episode. When Dee’s leaning all over the hitchhiker in the front seat–I forget what she says. “Oh, sweet baby boy, they’re going to eat you up out there”? I love that.
ANYWAY, creepy as hell, SIG. And obviously therefore awesome. Is that a zipper in the background? Zippers really should be used as torture devices; they look mean.
HILARIOUS! Still one of my all-time favorites… which is really saying something, because I’m demented enough to love nearly every episode!
Good call, U.M… it is indeed a zipper. And ‘fastened’ via hot-glue, too! That’s what I get for skipping Home Ec the day-o-the big ‘how to thread a needle’ demo…
🙂
Strange ap-pear-ance! 😀
HA!
A-pear-ently so!
🙂
right out of a classic horror film. . .
Hmm…
I do have a sudden craving for popcorn…
🙂
Interestingly enough these weren’t even the creepiest pears (or pear photos) he made that day! 😀
Hmm… maybe not…
although at the time I thought they were all on a fairly similar level-o-creepiness…
🙂
Oh I’m sure you were chomping at the bit to get this bad boy posted! I don’t know how I missed it. It’s just so…..WEIRD. I don’t get it but many people do and that’s what makes art so great!
This one is pretty ‘old’, Lynn. I did a small series of these when I was in school… posted one WAY back, but decided I didn’t want to post them to close together, either. I try to space out the wild content a bit… don’t want to weird too many folks out, you know!
Well, I’m not sure there’s any specific thing to get. It was probably inspired by something we were talking about at school at the time… or too much insomnia… I honestly can’t remember at this point. Oh well, the point is more that it causes some reaction that what that reaction is to me, most the time. I think.
Thanks much, Lynn!
🙂
That’s the most pearless looking pear I ever did see. I can’t even tell where the pear is.
Hahaha…
a dimly lit and obstructed view might have had something to do with that, I guess.
THAT… is… weird!
Hahaha…
I might have been a bit concerned if you thought otherwise, Nigel!
🙂
