Pig Toes!!!

Here is another sight that I was presented whilst in NYC.  Please direct your attention to the sign in the middle.  I while I'm sure it isn't unheard of to use pig toes in cooking, a quick Goggle search doesn't return very much in the way of recipes.  This leads me to wonder why the proprietor of this butcher shop would use them as a way to lure potential customers into the store. Of course, my entire analysis of this picture is based on the assumption that they are selling actual toes from pigs and not, as the Urban Dictionary suggests, "more petite, dainty, and, hence, attractive version of the camel toe."

Scrap Gold And A Haircut, Two Bits

I saw these sign recently when I was in New York.  Feel free to click the picture to enbiggen but that really is a barber shop that wants to buy your gold.  I've seen a lot of business combinations that don't make sense but this one ranks up near the top of the list. I wonder how that transaction would go: "Hey, Mike!  Just take a little off the top and here is my old wedding ring.  Keep the change."

Rolled On The Thighs Of Beautiful Cuban Women

It's a two-fer from Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq.

This is a gift that was given by Mrs. Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. (click the picture to enbiggen).  The product claims to be "Fine Handrolled Handkerchiefs", as if that is the most logical presentation for something used to remove mucus.  At least the product is named correctly; I assume it is pronounced "creamy-eww".

Who Says Car Repair Has To Be Expensive?

Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. captured this image and sent it my way.

So, here is a VW Beetle Convertible whose top apparently had an issue.  The resourceful owner decided to take on this daunting repair task his/herself.  Let's analyse the finished project, shall we?  First, I do have to give them credit for actually installing a window for rear viewing.  However, the "top" is held on with bungee cords and appears to be rather loose.  I imagine this results in significant flapping at highway speed.  I also doubt it is more securely fastened in the front, so there is an ongoing threat of it just flying off one day.  If that happens, the only hope for any car behind them is that the viewing portal lands perfectly so they can watch the Bug drive off with the wind blowing in their hair.

The Torso, My Friend, Is Blowin' In The Wind

Field correspondent Frankie captured this image and sent it to me.  You definitely should click the picture to enbiggen.

Let's see if we can analyse everything that is going on here.  Obviously there is a headless, limbless mannequin suspended from the porch.  There is also lots of children's play items on that porch.  This implies that the owner of this dwelling doesn't mind inflicting emotional scarring on kids.  The porch appears to have been added on so planning isn't a strong suit.  Finally, let's not overlook the tiny gazing ball so any lingering questions about the sanity of the residents should be answered.

Egg-cellent Sandwiches Inside

Frankie and I saw this sign on a recent road trip.  Click the picture to enbiggen.  Now I know that those are two separate concepts but when you put them together like that it just looks odd.  I wonder how well buffalo chicken can manage a Subway.  Probably better than many actual managers I've seen as of late.

Department of Redundancy Department, Part Deux

But in the event of an emergency, what is one supposed to use to contact help?

Politics Can Be Fun

In many states there is a perennial candidate, one who so wants to change the system that he or she will run for just about any position available.  In Missouri, that candidate is Leonard Steinman.  Here is one of his "mobile advertisements."  Please click the picture to enbiggen.

I really have no idea what his platform is but I have to believe you are not bolstering your poll ratings by calling yourself a "dishonest, lying cheat".  And, dear reader, lest you think this is another candidate tying to libel Mr. Steinman, take my word that this work of art was created by the candidate himself.  In addition to the campaign bus, he also has a delivery truck and (for some reason) a dump truck.

Finally, in the spirit of completeness, here is a link to his campaign picture looking like the Lion from The Wizard of Oz.

Just Good Advice

Sorry for the hiatus, I was in the Big Apple last week and couldn't post. Anywho...

I saw this in the restroom of a local restaurant.  I hope that this is directed toward the employees but I'm really not sure.  While I agree with the sentiment whole-heartedly, it's just kind of.... odd.   Maybe the owner has OCD and is trying to get everyone to act like he does.

Nasty Habit

Our newest correspondent, Agent Superstar, got this from a friend and sent it my way.

I understand the need for a product like this, but it raises so many questions.  I assume it works by making the poop taste bad.  How does one make poop taste worse?  And none the thorough research I've done on the subject (30 seconds or so) mentions that dogs eat poop because it is delicious.  Of course the biggest question is that if it makes what comes out taste that bad, what does it taste like going in?
