Modern Vespa

That was the case but I didn't really want to expand too much on his disability.

In no way do I want to ridicule the aforementioned gentleman but if you'd always had this unfortunate circumstance you'd find a way of dealing with it wouldn't you ?

He'd previously shat himself ( details withheld ) and he was in the process of pissing himself as we walked by.

It was very surreal.

Shit happens.

random shit in my mates garden

he died about a month ago and our other mate inherited the house and all the possessions

so far we have four tractors (two fords and two david browns)
a camper van (later model vw)
a car he had built himself (no kit just built)
an old rover a Datsun and a fiat (all running but not in the best of condition)
four invacars (green three wheeled things)
an old austin 7 but that is scrap
two boats a bulldozer five trailers and a caravan

also a nose cone off a hurricane and another of a glouster meteor this have been sold to a museum already

we also found a helmet with a mummified rat living in it

Everyone needs a project to keep themselves amused.
Or 10.

Weird stuff, yep, I finally saw something weird (not much happens out here.......good isn't it? ).

Just after dawn I saw a Willy Wagtail fluttering around one of the red marker lights on the top of our nearest antenna dish. It squawked and chirped and carried on like the light had just woken him up or something! Pecked at the light and everything, that Wagtail was pissed.


Speaking of weird Willy Wagtails........

Hmm. First Willy Wagtail I've seen.

Anything going by that description around here would likely find themselves under arrest.



Riding into work this morning, entered the 5-lane into town, still in the right lane, was a bit surprised to be passed by a Harley bagger. He was going faster than I was, and as he passed a car he started what I'd call a tire scrubbing weave, maybe 6 or 8 times. Than a quarter mile on rode the lane divider and did the same thing. I've screwed around weaving etc on an empty road, but seemed rather stupid with traffic around. Sure made him visible, though.

I was sort of glad he didn't acknowledge me when he passed.

Luxury car pulls up next to me at the pump and pumps an amount suitable for my scooter. I guess this really isn't that strange around here anymore. When I first moved into this middle class neighborhood 35 years ago there were no luxury cars around. Now the neighborhood is loudly with Mercedes, BMW's Audis, high end Lincolns, Cadillacs and the like. They then pull up to the neighborhood service stations and trickle in $5 worth of gasoline.

Some days it is unbearable. You can only pray for rain, wind, or freeze to damper the stench

The last year had a Massive increase. I guess it's a sign of the homeless population and the myriad negative social conditions.

Ok...so these two images are weird in their own right. By no means do I want anyone to infer that the image is being posted as racist. I simply was amused by the terrible spelling and in one case, very hilarious result.

The other is a photo of possibly the most evil cat in the world. My neighbor's beast and I have been long time adversaries on many levels. She bites, howls and attacks at random without provocation. My neighbor placed a beer down to block her path and as you can see, she is not amused. In this one instance, we agreed on something. She clearly hates Coors.

I was so much focused on the "spies" that I didn't even notice the "Arbic."
Just hope the spelling is better on the right half of the sign.

OTOH, signs like this make me feel like I'm getting the real deal. Definitely (well, hopefully) a first-generation business.

You missed the Goceries.

Perhaps that's intentional...it was sort of a little mini-mart. Get your groceries to "Go."

Okay, technically I didn't see it myself, but came from a friend in Southern Virginia. It can be another world down there (at least to a Northerner).

Shared amongst a bunch of us scootrin' facebookers.
Lolol.

I wonder, is that a substitute for my colonoscopy?

Weirdest thing happened to me! I borrowed a friends car for a special event and wanted to return it with the gas tank full. I stop at the local gas station to fill up and after I was done, saw a guy on a scooter go over and take a picture of the pump I just used! Then he took a picture of the car! I think it's a stalker! Should I let my friend know about the weirdo?

This may strike some as sad, and I can see that. However, it was so remarkable, I thought it was too bizarre to keep to myself. --- Thankfully, we have this thread.

At a local hospital, in an elevated walkway with glass walls, apparently a pigeon didn't know the glass was there and made a hell of an impact. This is either grease, dirt, or pigeon sweat leaving a perfect image of the bird on the glass. I don't know, do pigeons sweat?

I don't think any bird sweat. I guess if you're flying hard then the last thing you want is for your feathers to get damp with sweat. I'd imagine the mark on the window is from the dust held in all feathers (either bits of broken down feather, flecks of keratin from growing feathers or just plain dust).

Perhaps a natural secretion of oil on their feathers?

I feel so wrong that I am laughing at that photo. They have dust usually. I had a parrot for a while the he always smelled of dust. He did like to get in the shower with me and then he smelled like wet dog oddly... Most birds roll around in dirt because it keeps parasitic creatures off them better. Same with Chinchillas I think, they like lava ash though. I used to be quite fascinated with watching chinchillas take dust baths when i was a kid. If you notice the little parking lot birds, they will roll in dust too.

Just how short were his arms?

The nearly naked jogger in the rain last night.

that happened to an old friend of mine, he was a big British motorcycle fanatic, and on the way back from Blackpool, stood in the m-way services, he saw a BSA something or other pull into the car park, and in his enthusiasm to go see it, he walked straight through a plate glass window

Drugs. Heroin to be exact. My friends 23 year old son just died from a heroin overdose. Who knew that part of New England has a really bad heroin problem. I've known that kid since he was 4. Life's just not fair sometimes and i hope the dealer rots in hell. Nobody should have to bury a child.

We have one of those guys here as well. He runs every morning -- rain, snow, or shine -- in nothing but a Speedo, socks, and running shoes.

a Honda cub with mod detailing on


looked cool but wrong at the same time with all the mirrors and lights it even had a whip on the back with a furry tail

I did wonder if it's a "thing" that people do to make their runs more hardcore.

Not my idea of fun at all.

This license plate was upside down until I figured it out.

Speedo guy of Annapolis!

" Finished Labours are Pleasant "

Most mothers would probably agree...

Bunnies wearing Bow Ties.....

A gaggle of Vespas. Well 8 Vespa clips.

Eight is a lucky number in this neck of the woods.

Thanks.

H i'll see your 8 clips and raise you about 30 of them. Yours are more colorful tho.

I'm curious why is that?

Probably Vespa owners.

Praise the......

Speaks for itself....

Apparently, "Jumpers" are members of some kind of co-op. The sign near the elevators seemed to send a mixed message.

This was at the entrance of a woman's bathroom at a rest stop. I laugh because I am 6 foot tall and rarely encounter another tall female. So what is the state trying to say to all the short chicks?

Saw this gem on the back of another rest stop stall door (yes I pee a lot)

Went to the store to get some toothpaste, saw a big ol' Ahi head on the side of the road on the way home. Whereabouts of the rest of the fish unknown.

YANO if you see this guy run. Human teeth in a fish? He could use a bit of your toothpaste.
