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.

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?

The Question Is: Does Your Server Give You The Lube?

Field correspondent TeaSea provides another one.

I had never heard of this restaurant chain but they are apparently all over the U.S.  As far as I can tell from their website, while they do serve steaks, they do not service vehicles.  And steaks aren't even their signature dish; they are most proud of their wings.  But for some reason, I just can't stay mad at a business that displays the word "LUBE" all over the place.

Field correspondent Grapril sent this to me a while ago and I just found it.  Please to enjoy.

The choice of an attorney is an important one and should be based on the fact that you only have to remember one name and one digit.

WTFerret?!?

Woo boy, has it been a week.  Anyways, this one comes from Bat.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

So many questions (dramatic pause)... 

• Since when the hell does anyone care about legalizing ferrets?...
• Since when the hell does anyone care ENOUGH about legalizing ferrets to create an organization for legalizing ferrets?...
• Why the hell would said organization spend money, which I’m sure is in short supply, to create a BUMPER STICKER for legalizing ferrets?...
• Why the hell would anyone put said bumper sticker for legalizing ferrets on a fairly new car?...
• Who the hell would want ANYONE to know they support legalizing ferrets?...
• "Do it for the little guy"... because we all need a thieving, snake killing, slinky bodied rodent as a family pet.

Editor's note:  If that doesn't make you wonder what they were thinking, how about this article that details a ferret preventing a child from counting above three.

And It's Stylish

Most of this packaging makes perfect sense.  It's a mask that does what it should: filter out stuff you don't want to breathe.  What landed this image here is the line just below LATEX FREE:  "Protects against frigid winter air".  Now I understand that companies are always trying to find other uses for their products but I just can't imagine people will ever use it in that manner.  Scarves serve the same purpose with a far less chance of ridicule.
