A Windowless Van's Dream

Field correspondent PackerBacker saw this scene and sent me the pics.  Click the pictures to enbiggen.


So I'm looking at this picture and wondering why I had received it as a WTFoto.  It looks like fun.  Then she sends me a close up:


Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is the universal "Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Say No Evil" symbol stenciled right on the play equipment.  Now, I'm not a parent, but I'm pretty sure that a playground is one of the places where a child should report anything strange they see.  Either that, or the manufacturer of this equipment wants to make sure that kids get that free candy.

Air Conditioned Porta-Potties?

Yet another one from ExplodyBones.


I was given this picture with no explanation so I guess I'll have to extrapolate.  There is a building in the vicinity.  There are portable restrooms behind it.  Those portable restrooms have features that the sign author likes.  The sign author does not know how to properly use capitalization, punctuation, grammar or spacing.  I think that's about all there is here.

Pawn Brokers Hate Underwear

Here's another one from field correspondent Outlaw.



So this guy cut me off on my way to work this morning. I wasn't terribly worried about it, especially when i noticed his bumper sticker as i was behind him. He started to take off from the stop sign as i was scrambling to activate the camera on my phone. If you zoom in about as far as you can go, you'll see the the sticker says "Pull your pants up". Good statement. I support this sticker. However, that's not why i tried to snap the photo. Below that statement (which you can't read) simply states the name of a local pawn shop. No connection on the shop and why they're demanding that i keep my britches hiked. I don't even know what that has to do with anything. Perhaps they've had too many thuggish customers lately, or just in the new market of absurd bumper stickers? WTF indeed.

Like They Care...

Here's another one from field correspondent Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq.


To quote Mike Meyers - you put the emPHAsis on the wrong SyLLAble.

So, do they care about me or not?  If they did, wouldn't it be "Just as we care..." I feel like I just got dissed by a 14 year old teenie bopper tree hugger.

Safety First

Long-time field correspondent, Griz, sent me this picture and the following text.


Our building management decided that the covered walkway to our parking garage needed to be repaired (and by "repaired" they meant painted with a few coats of glossy, thick and shiny paint). Unfortunately this repair work left the walkway more slippery than a bowl of fresh badger squeezings. The first day it reopened several people fell whilst shuffling across it.  After the requisite public outcry (and the tragic squeezing of innumerable badgers) the building manager responded by heroically placing three safety cones along the center of its 50 foot span. I'm not exactly sure how much less slippery it is with the cones in place, but the added trip hazard obstacle course is a delight! I feel safer already!
