Modern Vespa

I recall seeing a taxidermy place in Austin that not only had Jackalopes, but also Pheasalopes and extremely large "owl" faces made from deer butts. Don't think I ever saw a Wolpertinger there, though.

Now THAT is terrifying!

Up until today it was only the thought of chupacabras that kept me up at night.

I need this

Looks like it could have been used in "Fury Road". I like it.

Why are his sunglasses crooked and why doesn't she have a helmet ?

Why aren't her feet touching the boards ?

Because it's AI Bollocks that's why.

She's obviously getting ready to slit his throat and take over driving cause his helmet pissed her off and can't see around it.
Total Bullocks though, no visible valve to turn on the nitrous system.

I'm an avid thrift/antique store shopper. I also love having a camera with me at all times. Which leads to the hundreds of pictures of weird crap with me at all times.

Here are a few.













One of those items I actually purchased.

And I though that I had some issues.

japanese takeyari style

Monks in saffron robes. At Starbucks. I never see them anywhere else in town.

While the berserker racoon is intriguing, I know i woulda bought that Martin Landau lunchbox in a hot minute.

You and I are cut from the same cloth. That went home with me.

At Wall Drug, Wall South Dakota.

I just want to be big ...

Brother from another mother!

Saw this on my walk this morning. First one I've seen in the wild.

Well, it is shit.

Could you hear it rusting as it sat there?

Saw this while walking to the cafe on a street called .... Garfield St

"This beer is like a horse drawn cart with a bionic, hydrogen-powered horse."

If they can do that to beer then they should be able to make me a hydrogen powered Vespa

Third weird thing for the day

Weird shit I saw from this post. My son-in-law's parents had that same bust with the green hair in their guest room upstairs. No one seemed to know where it came from my my grandson obsessed over it. He was drawn to it yet afraid of it at the same time. This went on for a couple of years. He named it Beebee.

Driving to work this morning and saw a box truck delivering "Liquid Death." The small print said "Drinking water from the Alps."

Now you young 'uns likely know all about this stuff, but it's new to me. First off, pretty weird name for something that doesn't seem to have death-defying things like alcohol, or even a surfeit of caffeine, but secondly, what's the attraction of water from the Alps? I guess there's a unique mineral content, but still, why bottle something up to ship across the ocean anyway?

I checked their website and found out the water comes from "beneath hundreds of feet of stone" with "natural minerals." So does my tap water. But the "infinitely recyclable aluminum cans" is pretty tempting.

Anyway, on with the day. I'll pass on the water, FWIW.

Looks like a Beebee. Yikes.

I've tried it. It's a whole lotta meh, and I'm still alive to talk about it.

Bless you for your bravery and taking one for the team.

Their slogan could be "Buy it for THE CAN! Don't buy it again because meh."

Above the beer cooler in the grocery store at 'Al's Oasis', Oacoma, South Dakota.

A depressing scene, at best.

Savage!

I changed my remark, but yes, Savage.

Killing something, then going to such great lengths to recreate it as lifelike as possible in a display is truly surreal, and not in a good way.

Another from the same place...

'Fly by wire.'

LOL! Made me think of scouring the internet for "bad taxidermy". You could spend all day.

I saw a guy in a Coffee Shop this morning who was the spitting image of Andy Kaufman.

Including the wrestling outfit?

It was more Elvis than Taxi.

Andy Kaufman as he would be today, or Andy Kaufman as if he had been in a state of suspended animation all of these years?

I didn't actually see it but tonight the was a very weird rhythmic snuffling noise out in the garden. After fetching my flashlight I find two hedgehogs, one seemed to be panting and I suspect they both were craving whatever passes for a cigarette in hedgehog culture.

Actually what passes for a cigarette these days in our culture?

Vape Baby.

Saw this on my ride this morning. Some folks came ashore on Jupiter Island last night and abandoned the boat.

That's just careless.
