Clarity
Standing in the shadows of the Limerick Power Station, I saw an advertising poster that caught my attention.
Admittedly, the text is a bit hard to read with the window glare, so here are the salient words again:
ATTENTION!
ATENCION!
ACHTUNG!
ATTENZIONE!
Under Armour makes the world’s most technical products.
So, I think I have to disagree. Surely a nuclear power plant trumps exercise-wear in terms of technical complexity. Okay, I am no scientist, but come on, this one seems obvious.
Google wags tongue at Olympics?

Is it just me or does this ice skater (part of the Google search page illustration) look like she has her tongue sticking out? Is this a subliminal message about the Vancouver games?
Thanks to a sharp-eyed reader in Michigan for spotting this and submitting the screen-shot to chickenmonkeydog. We LOVE to get submitted pictures and stories about the quirky events in your lives to share with the CMD community!
Dear Readers,
We have some big news to announce today! We wish we could say it is GOOD news, but let’s just say it is BIG!
Our brilliant friend and humorist Meg, who joined CMD as an author just about one year ago, is moving on to see what else the world of online creative writing has to offer. We’ve had an absolute blast having her on board and enjoyed the Meg-twist on our quirky outlook.
Please join us in wishing Meg a fond farewell! We hope she’ll continue to contribute by submitting guest posts (just like all of our readers can, including you)!
And with a flap of the wing, a beating of the chest, and a wag of the tail we at chickenmonkeydog wish Meg all the best!
For the first time, I had the chance to see the Limerick Power Station as a reasonably close distance. I found the shapely towers and plumes of steam positively hypnotizing. Watching the white clouds of steam climb further into the sky, I was filled with wonderment, awe and fear. I was within a short distance of a nuclear power plant – consider the power that flows from there! The engineering and science that underpins it functionality. The number of people who light their homes every evening with its power. The potential danger that is the powerplant. The dangerous by-product of nuclear waste. It was a lot to take in … and has left me still pondering. Not sure what to make of it all.
Overwhelmed by the magnificence of what lay before him, our foreign correspondent felt compelled to capture the grandeur of the Gateway to India in true chickenmonkeydog fashion.
And, dear readers, keep in mind that you too can capture the beauty around you with the red, yellow and blue hues of the chickenmonkeydog postcard. Just follow our simple instructions and a postcard could be winging its way to you.
