Vampire T-Shirt

Field correspondent Frankie received this t-shirt and snapped a picture for me.  As always, click to enbiggen.

Man, oh man, do I want to put that thing in sunlight to see what will happen. Would it burst into flames?  Melt into a puddle?  Maybe just scream and dissolve into ashes?  But don't worry, it's perfectly safe to wear...

Ballistic: Hydrants Vs Sidewalks

I saw this while driving the other day and had to turn around to take the picture.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

This is a newly constructed sidewalk.  I wonder how this kind of thing happens.  It's not like the workers who were putting in the forms didn't see the fire hydrant.  And you can't see in this picture but the sidewalk continues about 50 yards further (by the sign).  Maybe this is less of a sidewalk and more of a path to the hydrant.  And I, of course, assumed that this was an isolated incident but field correspondent Father Chaos sent me the picture below.  Maybe I need to study civil engineering to understand.

I'm Pretty Sure They Need To Change That Name

This machine might look familiar because I have posted about one before.  However, I'm showing this one for a different reason.  Please click the picture to enbiggen.

pro·to·col noun \ˈprō-tə-ˌkȯl, -ˌkōl, -ˌkäl, -kəl\: a system of rules that explain the correct conduct and procedures to be followed in formal situations

Of course this was found in a Men's room.  Let's take the products offered from right to left.  First we have ibuprofen; not too unusual.  In the center we have glow sticks; ummm... okay.  And finally, we have XStreme Sour Drops in 4 XTreme flavors; a liquid candy.  No.  Just no.  One should not be able to buy a food product in a restroom.  Which gets back to the definition above.  I contend that this is the opposite of "correct conduct".  I rest my case.
