This Is Why I Have This Blog

Soooo, let's just have a look at what we've got here, shall we? (click the picture to enbiggen).  This appears to be a section of car, approximately from the dashboard to the front of the seats, lying upside, down barely off the road.  This car piece was in this location for almost two weeks.  Let the questions begin...  Did someone think that this was the ideal location to discard said car part (much like an empty soda bottle)?  Did it slide off a trailer and the person hauling it not notice (maybe the leaves dampened the noise)?  Or perhaps was there a car accident and this is all that is left after the firefighters took the Jaws of Life to it (and hauled away the rest)?

None of these are particularly satisfying explanations so if you have any of your own, please feel free to share.

In Communist Russia...

Frankie saw this and sent it my way.  There is something just a little bit creepy when a food item thinks you're delicious.  I understand that Dove is trying to be witty but I think they missed it on this one. Unless, of course, this is an omen of the impending chocolate uprising..

Yes, Daddy, Please Do That

Here is another in my "Marquee Madness" series.  Click the picture to enbiggen.  If you couldn't read it or were just to lazy to enbiggen, this Andy's Custard marquee reads "KICK IT WITH A BOOT DADDY."  I am wide open to any interpretation that my dear readers would like to provide.

Isn't That Pretty Much The Opposite Of What You Want?

Yeah, yeah..  I know it's a marketing ploy:  "Our incense is so strong it's a biohazzard!"  But really, is that what you want?  Open package, evacuate room?  It would be like having a nuclear battery in your cell phone.  Uh, oh...

Politcal Signs, Part Deux

In my opinion there is enough anxiety, apprehension, and insecurity about the government without explicitly adding more.  On the other hand, you have to give credit to Mr. Angst for being upfront about it.

It's The Smiley That Brings It All Together

Here is another from Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq.

I saw this at the restaurant next door to my office.  It appears they are fine if I just want to roll my cooler of tall boys in with me for lunch.  In fact, I saw a couple who were going in for dinner each carrying a couple of beers.

Editor's note:  I had no idea that is was even legal.  And back to that smiley:  is this really something that warrants a smiley face?  I would think that whatever they did to lose their liquor licence would be a little more serious than that.

Septober? Octember?

I saw this banner on a recent trip to the Quad Cities with Frankie (click the picture to enbiggen).  It's a bit hard to read but this sign proudly announces that this establishment will be having their Oktoberfest on September 23rd and 24th.  It looks like the Germans are following the lead of the retail industry and starting their celebrations a month early.  Septemberfest:  brought to you by the fine folks who sell Christmas decorations at Halloween.

When Easy Just Isn't Easy Enough

Isn't the point of the pop-top cans to eliminate the need for a can opening tool?  Now if there was just a product that could help you use this; maybe a Easy Open POP 'N PULL Extra Grip Glove.

At Least He's Following The Rules Of The Road

So I captured this sight with my dashcam (click to enbiggen).  Nothing to worry about here, folks.  Just a dude pretending his wheelchair is a vehicle.  If he got lights installed on it he wouldn't have to use hand signals.  I wonder how he ended up in that thing in the first place...

You Should "Let It Loose", "Give It Up" and "Surrender"

Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. took this picture and sent it to me.

The only thing her T-shirt is missing is the phrase "Because if you do..."  It is hard to see, but she also has the pink headphones on to complete the package.

Editor's Note:  Because nothing is hipper than a reference to a 1987 Gloria Estefan song.  And if you didn't get the title, those are also songs off the "Let It Loose" album.
