Candy Corn on the Cob
Oct

2013
Today’s post was supposed to be a picture that I cobbled together, putting candy corn on a corn cob and calling it candy corn on the cob.
I wasn’t going to make a physical object, I was just going to edit some photos to make it look like it existed.
When I started looking up photos of corn cobs and candy corn, however, I found that some people had already made candy corn on the cob. That took the wind out of my sails, so I didn’t work on what I was going to do.
Instead, I read the post the Kyle wrote about how he made candy corn on the cob. It was interesting enough that I started reading some of his other posts. And before I knew it, Wednesday had come and gone and I had nothing ready for my own post.
Today’s post is rather lacking, for all it is is recounting how I wasted my lunch hour reading Something a Week.
It’s a good thing he stopped updating his blog (170 posts at one a week = over 3 years of making things), otherwise I might not have written even this much.
And while we are talking about corn on the cob, I must use this opportunity to educate certain people out there. When I was looking for pictures of corn cobs, many photos appeared that were not corn cobs. People were taking pictures of ears of corn and calling them corn cobs.
Those terms are not interchangeable. A corn cob is the part inside the ear of corn that you do not eat – it is what holds the kernels. Corn on the cob means the kernels are still attached. A photo of a corn cob should be an ear of corn with no husk and no kernels. In other works, corn on the cob minus the corn. Please keep that straight and label your photos accordingly.
