Ham Water??? ***shudder***

Day 6 if the Griz Series.  Supplies are getting low.  Tensions are high.  Haven't decided which of my friends to eat first.

Have things really gotten so bad? I know the bee population is in trouble but, man... can't a fella just get regular old honey anymore? My cookies were a disaster!

The Big John? The Ultimate Porker?

Like sand though the hourglass, so are the days of the Griz Series.

Just a normal Jimmy John's patron parking normally in a parking space and not blocking the road at all. Nothing to see here.  Please move along.  If you can get past.

Don't Be A Box Hater

The Griz Series soldiers on.

Spotted in a flea market in BFE, Virginia. Let's just zoom in here a bit...

I don't know if this was honest (in which case I had no idea that they were known for box-making prowess) or just insensitive (in which case I had no idea that this box was quite that bad).

I'm Don't Think I Would Advertise That

Scene trios of the Griz Series.

As I was looking through the pictures he sent, I came across this one.  I wasn't sure what it was about until I found the close up below.

Griz says: Virginia is a very old state with crazy laws on the books. I wonder what the punishment for this might be...

Seems to me that the punishment isn't enough to stop people from proudly displaying their proclivities on their cars.

What A Bargain!

I present the Griz Series, act 2.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

He was just looking for some socks and found this on the sale rack.  If the secret of selling is in the presentation, I have to say they rocked this one.

Vagity Plate

My very good friend, Griz, sent me a treasure trove of pictures so I'm going to dedicate a series to him.  Here is the first.

It is about time that this very important organ finally starts getting the recognition it deserves.  Everyone shows pictures of their newborn babies but no one ever talks about how that tiny human got here.  So let's salute this individual who understands (apparently a little too well) how babies are made.

"In This Area" Is A Bit Vague

I saw this the other day. It's a good warning.  It gets one's attention.  It conveys an important message.  I just hope that it actually means the "three foot drop-off" is behind this particular door, not another door in the area.

Breakfast Of Champions

Our newest field correspondent, NinjaMom, found this on the shelf of a local grocery store and sent it my way.

I blame this on Lays.  They started this nonsense with the flavor abominations Sriracha, Chicken & Waffles and Cheesy Garlic.  Now everyone has to join in on seeing how many bizarre flavor combinations they can create.  My favorite part of this is the line "great taste...naturally".  Naturally?  Really?  Has Mother Earth been combining syrup, bacon and potatoes all this time and we were simply unaware? 

Finally, A Solution To The Dreaded Ramen Wait

Field correspondent DoubleH saw this while shopping and snapped this pic.

Yep, this product has taken creativity to a new level to allowing one to microwave ramen noodles.  Prior to its introduction, there was no other method for cooking those noodles other than (as the label states) "the stove or pots".  And, in a completely unexpected twist, it's reusable!  The one thing that I don't exactly understand is how it "reduces sodium by 50%" but if it can harness high energy electromagnetic waves to apply heat to water and rice noodles, it can do anything.

When Signs Argue

Yet another from Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq.  Please click the picture to enbiggen.

It is always difficult to see a sign couple fighting.
  "It's clearly an exit!"
  "No it's not, you moron!"

In these situations, my concern is how this sort of public display will affect the little placards.
