Meet Tom Kuebler and his friends -- his very er... 'interesting' friends

Sculptor Tom Kuebler does life-size pieces of some rather interesting people. Gallery page here: Tom Kuebler Three examples:

There is a place beyond Razorback Hollow where the deep woods dirt roads lead to an isolated community of characters. One such fellow... er, fellows are Cletus and Shorty Greeley. It was believed that the brothers would not survive infancy, yet they grew to be quite powerful. Although intelligence is not among their assets, they seem to be quite self-sufficient and get along fine in the small community that has known and accepted them since birth.

The athletic tape incident in the men’s locker room was the last straw for Myron. It was time to defend himself against these thugs. It was time for revenge. Myron was a teen genius, but his physical appearance and speech impediment made him a target... until his part-time job at the county morgue provided the opportunity that Myron had been waiting for (and, of course, a project for the science fair). When Mad Dog Mulligan was finally executed for his seven victim killing spree, his cadaver provided the perfect venue for Myron’s technological masterpiece... the state of the art, electro conductor, neuro-communicator, positronic brain! Once the glitches were ironed out, Myron had a full service, radio controlled, zombie-bot bodyguard that would defend him and administer the dire consequences of angering this young, peculiar, prodigy of science.

Liquid courage he calls it, the power to do the things you’re afraid to try and to say the things you’ve been wanting to say. And, when you sing you sound like an angel to your own ears. Let the warmth rush in and slowly turn control of your will over to him. Enjoy it, because tomorrow you’ll need him again. In fact, you may find that once you’ve swallowed him, your courage turns to fear and you can’t live without him.
