A big, Friday Hello to all! Welcome to the tnocs.com Weekend Wrap-Up!
Thanks to all for your very kind and thoughtful emails and comments this week, as I continue to work through my recent challenges. Ever a believer in positive messaging, I’ve had this… and this… and this… on a non-stop loop. In my mind, that is.
Hmm. Hol’ up a sec:
Five links in three sentences….?
Comedian Dennis Miller once famously intoned, “Stop me before I sub-reference again!” And he may have been onto something. Which reminds me:
I have great fun concocting the images, and researching and sneaking in the Easter Eggs in our Contributing Author’s articles. This week, there was a particular link, and a certain silliness within a particular graphic that…. um, what’s the word… they perhaps didn’t quite land… missed the mark… oh, what’s that called…
For the second consecutive week, it would appear that Goodboy could be correct.
But I won’t quite give up yet. Here’s a little challenge: can anyone ID the two {alleged} jokes in question? They appeared in two separate articles during the week. The first one was a link that implied that it might lead to something risqué. The second was some digital manipulation within a graphic.
It’s a virtual scavenger hunt. And, c’mon, of course there’s a prize.
I’ll send a very modest somethin’ to the first two good tnocs.com citizens (read: “registered users”) who can spot the two gags.
Good luck. For the runners-up, we’ll send you home with the home version of our game. Just as soon as we create a home version of our game.
And now, here’s our weekly recap of recent cool stuff that you may have missed…
This Past Week’s New Articles

And stayed tuned – later today, we’ve got one more new article… for all of you fans of “current events…”
Thank you so much for your support and kind comments about the site. I’m impossibly lucky to be able to hang with all of you. Have a great weekend, please be careful, take good care of yourselves and each other…
…and good on you all.
Thank You For Your Vote!
Sorry You have Already Voted!
Is it the IRS cassette? Is A Perfect Song a reference to R.E.M.’s “Perfect Circle” from Murmur?
Nope! Neither gag is in that article…
Not sure about the second gag, but pretty sure the first one is the “link” to the porn star V-dog referenced in his photo essay.
Boom! You are correct.
And thank you for putting “link” in quotes. The result is definitely SFW.
We’re nothing if not family friendly, after all.
Ok, that leaves the graphic…
Well, quite the week. There was my daughters School BBQ, Rafa withdrawing from the Wimbledon semi final, England completing a record run chase in the cricket, we rescued a dehydrated hedgehog, found a spider in our bed. Oh, and we mislaid a Prime Minister. You can read about that somewhere in an article not a million miles away.
I know what the other gag is but I can’t reveal it as I received a very big clue to it earlier so I won’t be spoiling it. All I can say is you need a real attention to detail to spot it. It is quite brilliant though and I am forever in awe of mt’s talents.
+1 for “…we rescued a dehydrated hedgehog.”
Guessing on the graphic here…but those two ducks standing on that outcropping in Phylum’s article look suspicious to me…So yeah, that’s my best stab at it.
Nope!
Sorry… Good guess, but you are on the wrong
road.
Eh, worth a try! I had another guess too but figured everyone should get a turn.
Did someone say Duck Stab??

Is it in the Beatles podcast article? On the Abbey Road picture the license plate on the VW Bug reads JJ Lives.
BOOM! WE HAVE OUR SECOND WINNER! 🙂
