๐Ÿ‘€ #GooglyEyes Re-Visited โ†ฉ๏ธ Daffy's Diagnosis - Things With Eyes Vol.58 [contains trivia, nonsense and a steem-bounty]

in googlyeyes โ€ขย  6 years agoย  (edited)

This is Daffy,

He had a rather short life!

geyes_0058_revisited_1.jpg

Usually I try to make Googlies that will stay out in the wild for a while. But when I met Daffy a few weeks ago, I knew this messenger of spring would only have a short life and so I decided to bring him home with me.

But apparently he didn't like that too much. After just a few days he started looking a bit "out of juice" already.

Back then a few friends uttered their concern immediatly, @hazel420 suggested to administer some milk while @okkiedot seemed to believe his condition resulted from abstinence. I myself suspected he might be pregnant because he was developing a slight swelling around his neck and I had a faint recollection of learning something about that stuff in biology classes back in school, the flowers and the bees and that stuff.

I had to do a bit of research but my theory checks out:


The Angiosperm Life Cycle - source: [wikimedia.org] | learn more: [bioweb.uwlax.edu]

I guess that means Daffy's indeed a real "daffodil", at least if we go by one of the definitions in the urban dictionary which translates the meaning to:

a man with a vagina

Now... I could go on and praise @hazel420 for being so on point with identifying the nonexistence of a binary gender in Daffy or go on about how I excel in botany because I immediately diagnosed his early pregnancy correctly... but I've got some bad news and a confession to make.

Daffy's Dead!

๐Ÿ˜ข

Yes, despite promising to take good care of him, I didn't keep up with my commitment. To be honest, I actually completely forgot he was even still here, in the middle of my always cluttered living room table.

geyes_0058_revisited_2_s.jpg

I know, shame on me right?! The marvel of life happening right here and I completely failed to pay attention and poor Daffy withered away unnoticed.

But in all of this, his spirit has survived and his message of spring has been received. He might be brittle now and he'll probably turn into dust soon, but he still has a lovely expression on his face... well, considering the circumstances at least.

R.I.P. Daffy

Thanks for the smiles!

The first time you've met Daffy was just 26 days ago. To be more precise: 736.947 Blocks ago, when the message of spring needed to be spread.

Leave your #GooglyEyes behind!

This post is part of a series in which I want to encourage fellow #GooglyEyes enthusiasts and #GooglyPrize participants to use these wiggly eyes as a tool to a make our physical world a better, a more enjoyable, a more googly place, permanently. (at least for a while, I know those eyes will fall off eventually, d'oh).

By running the #GooglyPrize I have learned to appreciate those #GooglyEyes for more than just my personal hobby and as a vehicle for a multitude of expressions instead. That's awesome! I am grateful for the amazing scope of creativity and expression the contest is able to host, so it really doesn't matter that many of you apply those eyes only temporarily, just for a photo-shoot. It's awesome enough if we can improve our virtual environment. But still, my heart beats for the idea of hiding a cheerful little surprise to be discovered by random strangers many times over, in the real world, too!

Disclaimer: Today's post obviously falls out of line with the above footer text, but I had promised to @okkiedot that I'd keep him updated about Daffy's progress. So that's what that is! Also, I usually always have hidden engagement prizes in my posts, but today I wanted to try out this steem-bounty-thing so I'll put 2 SBD into that.

Interesting. lol

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย (edited)

very much so :) thanks for your vote!

P.S.: since your voting support does skew the community-bounty distribution significantly, I'll withdraw my own vote, sorry... :/

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

OK sorry. :( I promote all of my posts. I want to be successful and also help out my curators.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Yeah, no worries, it's just the particular rules of this steem-bounty thing (I am trying it for the first time, so i'm not entirely sure) would give the most of the 20% community-awarded bounty to your top level comment due to the quite generous support votes... so I'm just trying to balance that back by taking the part of my share out...

I hope you understand... no offence taken on my side :)

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Yeah I'm also trying it out on my blog. I assume I'm ineligible to win my own contests if not I might end up winning the majority of my own prizes. lol If I do then I'll be able to boost my official rewards. I think this steem bounty thing could get real big. I'm hoping I win another prize today. The first prize I won I did not even know I was in a bounty contest. It was a very pleasant surprise.

Poor daffy ๐Ÿ˜ญ I hope you're going to put her to rest in a warm cosy place.

Not a he, not a whore,
more of a true daffodil,
with a mangina,
I'm not good at this,
end of this weird 5-liner.

Better don't put that on her tombstone^^

Daffy looks spontaneously mummified, like @niko3d mentioned!

I need some more time to read up on the bounty and how it works, but it looks like you're attracting a fair share of bounty-hunters, hahaha :D

You have my vote though! ;)

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Holy smokes the bounty hunters are out in mass, Daffy will be remembered by many a person. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

All with $ $ in their googlyeyes ;P

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Just like this ๐Ÿค‘

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

That's the one!

We've got a comic series from Belgium, about the Wild West, called Lucky Luke, maybe you know it. One episode is "The Bounty Hunter", it's this guy:

It's hilarious, if you can happen to find it :)

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Ha no not seen this one :D wonder what Google has to say on the whereabouts of this comic. I need a Bounty Hunter to find the Bounty Hunter.... opps Catch 22 situation...

Daffy was a great partner. The loss of his departure will only surpass the new GOOGLYEYES smile ;-)

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Many will follow to take his place. It was beautiful while it lasted, and now he's forever on the blockchain, so I think he was able to fill his destiny.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Fortunately, daffodils breed from onion, so it certainly left behind the possibility of offspring ;-)

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย (edited)

You're quite right, his children will be there next year again, who knows, maybe some of them will even have #GooglyEyes again?!

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

I can imagine the horror of the botanists over the daffodil with the eyes :-D

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

horror?! oh but they should be delighted!

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

;-). The initial reaction is often different. After a quiet appreciation, they would find it beautiful and fun :-D

I'm a bounty hunter: what do you want me to tell you about your dear deceased, nice and beautiful hermaphrodite, to earn your vote?

I've been in several funerals and I've heard from the priests some nice farewell formulas ... I just have to remember them, which is not easy with the decay of my cognitive faculties, LOL! ;)

In any case, do you want me to run to collect some new Daffy in nature's abundance?

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

your modest vote and mindful comment are plenty enough to share the bounty :D

thanks for stopping by!

It looks like poor Duffy had been screaming or living all his strength here at all times like on steemit for some guys, in any case he often looked cheerful and very lively, not only in his best days.

Thanks for coming by to leave your thoughts and vote... Indeed, I think I understand what you mean with "screaming like some on steemit" LOL :D

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Yes, Its an fabulous creativity , Not me, You deserve thanks @fraenk

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Indeed I do... rewarding professional bountyhunters is a nice thing to do ;)

It's at least an interesting experience to see the kind of attention it attracts :D

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

You can think buddy.. :(

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย (edited)

I don't mean no offence at all, it's all good! :D I just checked your profile and saw that you are quite avidly going around #steem-bounty posts... that's a legitimate thing to do for an eager steemian.

Your top-level comment has a decent upvote and that means you'll also get part of the bounty, even though you didn't have the courtesy of leaving a small upvote on my post yourself, which does make me a bit sulky after all.

Why did you think you'd hate the post? Well, I am happy you didn't... but you didn't like it enough to leave a vote... so I guess it wasn't all that interesting. You found your own comment even more vote-worthy... hmm

people like you confuse me! (also, read up on "dust votes", because all those self-votes under $0.02 aren't even being paid out)
