Inaccurate Corn

What's wrong with this picture?

We're putting it on the front of a tee shirt to be sold at a vegetable stand.

When I showed it to the farmer, he pointed out that something is missing.

I told him it was artistic license.

He responded with this:

Would a picture of Jerry Garcia bald be acceptable just because the artist didn't think it looked right?

Which is a pretty good hint, if you're trying to solve the riddle.

So.

What's wrong with the picture?

Six Twigs, One Chainsaw

In the following photograph, Brent the Mushroom Hunter is carrying a chainsaw.  Attached to his backpack is a hardhat and a pair of earmuffs, both examples of reasonable chainsaw co-cargo.  Poking out of the backpack, however, are, according to my count, six small sticks.  The photograph, therefore, is a mystery and, thus, a riddle.

Anyone want to try to solve it?

Riddles

One of my friends just told me to go to www.weffriddles.com.

Terrible idea. I'm either totally stumped on the first level, or I've been duped into attempting an impossible game.

I do love riddles though. When they're real. I love the intensity with which some people tell them. I've let that intensity rub off on me. Sort of. On some riddles at least...

(Imagine a long pause right now while I go off secretly to do something ridiculous and clearly unnecessary.)

In order to prove the intensity with which I tell riddles, I decided I needed to film myself telling a riddle and post it here.

I went to Seesmic , somewhere I hadn't been in many moons. And I felt kind of wrong just jumping in and telling a riddle on the public timeline out of nowhere, so I gave a little rave about my absence from Seesmic and my reasons for the riddle, and then I told it. But, of course, since I'd distracted myself from the riddle with thoughts about Seesmic and the story of why I wanted to tell a riddle, when I told it, I told it without the proper full intensity.

Anyway, here's the video. Seesmic. Silliness...

A RiddleBack on Seesmic after a long time away. Hoping Seesmic will forgive. Stumped by www.weffriddles.com. Feeling frustrated. Feeling the need to tell a riddle. About a bartender. And a thank you.
