Modern Vespa

I do believe that monkey is flipping off the kid.

Wondering where that was learned...?

Maybe hanging out at the Connecticut Yankee on Wednesdays? Bet he has a mean junk punch too.

The peacocks venture out from Point Defiance Zoo every now & then. I know they love to scare people with their ridiculously loud screech but I've never heard of them actually shooting anyone.

Speaking of weird...

I saw this the other day & thought of Sticky & Froggieposition...

Don't believe that it was from the zoo as was close to 72nd and Pac ave.

I do wonder what a peacock tastes like?

I'm sure it was named after its two predominant flavours.

You left yourself wide open for that one Heavy!

72nd?!? Yeah, that's a long way from Point Defiance...wait for it...as the cock flies.

I came across this plate yesterday. It's like they just knew I was coming.

this one made my day!!!

Considering the massive amount of negative stuff going on in the World today, this 10 minute video was completely refreshing.

A guy in Australia is entertaining with PVC pipes and flip flops. Enjoy!

I love street musicians!! Thanks for sharing!!

Ahem!

Not wierd, just very cool.

I've seen similar posts before on this thread. Perhaps there should be a "cool item I saw today" thread? They are different concepts, aren't they?

One of those things that I wish I could have taken a picture of but I was driving and my phone was in my front pants pocket. A big Harley with a pillion, a side car and a trailer.

Not weird but cool..... Driving south bound on Victoria Park, Toronto..
This car was in-front of me.

More likely someone who visited Martha's Vineyard.

I would say it's quite unusual... I'm a nail tech on the side of my full time job and I was feeling a little creative last night when I was practicing some designs

That would work well for this lady. (Nice work btw).

I think her name is "Polly Dactyl."

This little bastard. Came down the steps and stepped on the mat and he/she came after me. Not weird but they can make you sicker than a dog,ask me how i know.

Ugh, why you gotta post a picture of it Judy?!
I hate those things with such a passion. Got bit by one a couple years ago while I was lying on my bed watching tv. Aside from the times I broke my finger and wrist, it was the worst pain I've ever felt. Husband found it and put it in the garbage disposal. I have zero tolerance for them. Unfortunately we have one in the house almost every week. I wish I knew where they were coming from...

Should anyone ever get bit by one of these stupid jerk centipedes, I suggest you wash the area very very well ASAP. I did just about everything recommended... hot hot water, cold water, vinegar, ice, and finally I put meat tenderizer on it and left it there for about 3 hours. The next morning, it was like I had never been bitten. Victory! 8)

YANO your up early. I got bit twice by one when i lived on the beach in Mokuleia. Tops of both thighs and i came out of that bed pronto. Got worse when they burned the cane fields. Had more of them in the house when they burned the fields.

Cow

Bull

YANO meat tenderizer works well on jellyfish stings. Always have some in the pantry. CYBER WUSS

This tree is right down the road from my house.

spotted the other day around the corner from my house (apols to those who have already seen this posted in the Donk thread)...

Are you just happy to see me or is that an acorn in your pocket?

Seen in Ketchikan.

Also seen in Ketchikan.

So at the end of my beach road there's a roundabout. 4 roads coming into it. Was sitting behind a nondescript car that was stopped at the stop sign before entering it yesterday. He stops and then proceeds to go LEFT. There were 2 oncoming cars who slowed right down and pulled far right. Luckily the roundabout is a tad over sized.Everybody had their mouths open. We really didn't believe what we just saw. If fact the first car who went by the person (bucket seats and they were short so i couldn't see who it was) with their mouth open looking in the rear view. The person calmly went a little bit and turned to the exit you take in the circle to get onto the beach road. Now if this had happened in NY, horns would of been blaring and it might of scared the guy but you use your horn very carefully here. If you use it to get somebody to move faster they will block you in and wash and wax their car before letting you go. Horn use is considered very rude here. It wasn't a local car (no red dirt or "Keep the country country stickers) so i'm guessing it was somebody whose used to driving on the left in a rental. They realized what they did rather quickly and kept their cool. Can safely say i've never seen that before out here.

I'm sorry Judy, but that idea that using your horn is "rude" is exactly why our drivers are so clueless and frankly really F'n stupid. I have no problem blasting my horn at people who do stupid things when I'm on my scooter or driving the truck and I really wish that others felt the same. The fact that they messed up and/or put someone's life in danger should be brought to their attention. Nevermind that honking your horn doesn't fit into the idea of the "aloha spirit", because there doesn't seem to be much of that left on the island anyway. If there wasn't a reason for horns on cars and bikes, we wouldn't have them.

Hehe. Sunday I drove an hour away to visit my Mom. On the way back I blasted my horn for probably 30 seconds for a guy that was right next to us texting on his phone. And I was in my car. LOL

In Barbados the horn is used as a means of chatting to your fellow drivers. All the cars have 'Neep Neep' horns like our Vespas.

At least there you can tell instantly when it's a hire car by the number plate - full clearance (and tolerance) is given to them. Especially as there's no drink-drive law.

Yano are we living on the same island? Sure i use my horn on the scooter all the time. People don't see us. Nobody seems to mind but about 5 or 6 years ago i was pulling into a parking garage near the Aloha Tower. Line was backed up. I saw a car way up front just sitting there. 5 min later he was still sitting there and the cars were backed out way down the street. I hit my horn. About a min later a car backed out. Apparently he was having trouble. Couldn't see the car because a big truck was blocking it. So i go to park and this dude starts yelling at me for using my horn. He yelled some nasty racial things and was really aggressive. Almost called 911. I've never heard a car horn out by you and never out here. Of course if somebody does something stupid you should but drive in NYC sometime and see how they use their horn Well maybe not so much now because NYPD has a fine they can levy. If you don't go immediately when the light turns green, you get horns blasting at you. People are more patient and courteous here. My friend was driving by me one day and she stopped and we had a long chat. Didn't realize there was a cop car behind her. I apologized and the cop said "no worries you looked like you were having a good talk" In NY i'd probably get arrested. Horns are not a form of communication here. At least from what i've seen. Been here about 20+ years total.

Eating at the local Cracker Barrel and one of the guys at the next table looking just like Ted Nugent down to the little tuft on his lower lip. Didn't have the heart to ask if he was Ted.

Not wierd but funny. A 12 pound cat in a 5 pound box.

Be safe and secure that load...

Literally weird shit... There may be a dinosaur flying around Reseda.

I saw a wig on the hard shoulder today.

That's it basically.
