Fresh Baked Nightmares

Our trip through Europe continues with a stop at a bakery. Click to enbiggen, if you think it's a good idea.

These monstrosities were proudly displayed in a window for everyone to see.  There is far too much going on to cover everything but the most disturbing thing for me are the raisin eyes, staring into one's soul.

In case you are wondering, the little sign reads "Only available to order" so you cannot make an impulse purchase of haunted bread.  Sorry.

Accommodations, In a Manner of Speaking

We continue with our Europe series with this sign that I saw from the bus.  Clicken to enbiggen.

This is sort of a inn.  Somewhat a place to stay.  In a sense, lodging.  And so on.

One Out Of Three Ain't Bad

 I was going through my pics and came across the ones I took while in Europe last year.  Most are beautiful landscapes and majestic architecture. There were also a number of WTFotos.

Here is the first in the Europe series.  Please click the picture to enbiggen.

Pig Ear Man.  Catering & More.  A cow in a suit.  Yep, it's all coming together.

I saw this delivery truck a couple weeks ago.  Something about it caught my attention.  Please click the picture to enbiggen.

"OPEN your soul..."  That is a terrifying concept for a job.  Most days I'm barely able to give my full attention to my job; there is no way it's getting anywhere near my "soul".

Note:  The "Stop Human Trafficking" sticker seems to be a bit incongruitous to the rest of the vibe.

Meat. It's What's For Meal.

I found this product for sale while on vacation in Utila.  Click to pic to enbiggen.

This is just normal meat.  Absolutely normal.  Nothing about it is unusual and we do not appreciate implications to the contrary.  It's just your regular, standard meat.  Please stop asking questions.

Half & Half For All Four Seasons

MenagerieManager sent me this pic.  Click to enbiggen. 

She told me this was purchased in late June.  Note that the expiration date is not until May of next year.  While that is a testament to modern food preservation techniques, I'm not I'm comfortable with dairy products that will stay fresh longer than the gestation time of a human baby.

The microbrewery AB InBev

 I saw this scene at the grocery store the other day.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

Not only is Natural Light, Milwaukie's Best and Stag in the "microbrew" section, Miller Lite and Genuine Draft are considered "craft".  In fact, every beer in this entire cooler is made by one of the top three breweries in the world (by volume).  I guess us Midwesterners just don't know our beers.

Vehicle Optional

Life.  Death.  Stuff.

Anyway, I'm going to try to get back on the posting wagon because, boy howdy, do I have some pictures to share.

For example, this marquee board for a local auto shop.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

Walk in oil changes.  Walk in.  I get that they are trying to say that appointments are not necessary but that's not the wording I would have used for a business that works on machines designed to preclude walking.

Prophetic Office Phone

I took this picture of my office phone last week.  Click the picture to enbiggen. 

Weather ends soon.  Weather.  Ends soon.  That don't sound good.  Even Noah's flood can be considered "weather".  The only thing I can think of how this will play out is that scientists misjudged the sun's expansion by a couple billion years.  Or it's a software license thing.

Star Wars: Fast and Furious

I don't recall what store I was in when I saw this display, but I had to do a doubletake.  Please click the picture to enbiggen.

Cars played such an important role in the Star Wars franchise, it's about time Hot Wheels got around to making replicas.  And I'm glad they including ALL the vehicles, including the newest series.

Seriously WTF?  Is Mattel trying to create a new Mandela Effect when some people clearly remember the car chase scene in A New Hope?
