If you arrived here because you were searching for this Iron Man, I am so sorry to disappoint. But you have to admit this is really cool.
We came across this guy on a pretty warm day at a street fair downtown. I cannot imagine what it felt like to be in the crocheted suit, let alone be ironing. The funny thing is that we did not stop to question what all this was about.
So, you are thinking where would a guy like this go to the bathroom? Well, of course here is the answer.

It has been a while since you have seen Mel and I know she has a lot of fans out there. To answer some questions that arise when I post a picture like this:
Does she ever jump out? No, would you?
Will I adopt you? Maybe, but I am pretty sure you won’t like the kibble we feed her.
Do I pose her like that? No, she is a natural.
Is she sad in this picture? No, she makes that pathetic face to get attention.
Is she available for photo ops? Sure, I will tell her agent you are interested.
Ahhh, the life of a dog.

I found this to be a fairly impressive list for an establishment that served blue drinks out of fishbowls. One of the grandma’s (not our family) that joined us with the grads at the bar told us never to drink blue drinks because you will inevitably find yourself face down on the table.
Good rule. Sage wisdom.
I particularly like bullet number 3: No sagged pants or shorts (must cover your underwear/Above your ass)
Classy joint!

Or Ay Chihuahua, depending upon where you are from.
I love this one. When a plate like this is dropped in front of me while I am at a red light I believe my stars are truly aligned.
Hmmmm… this is my third post about Chihuahuas (and I still have to look up the spelling). One was about an Elvis version of the little varmints and the other had a Grateful Dead reference.
Yeh, I know trichihuahuafecta!

Today I went shopping. I hate shopping. No seriously, I loathe the act of shopping. I am simply missing the gene that makes this activity fun. It is not that I don’t like to have new things, I just really don’t like looking for them. Trying them on… I like that even less.
Let’s face it, the 3-way mirror is simply not our friend. It is bad enough to see the parts of you that are in full view, but to check yourself out under florescent lights from every angle… yikes.
As I was browsing through the racks, I came across this item. Stapled to the inside of a garment was one of those little packs of Silicagel with the words ‘DANGEROUS DO NOT EAT’ printed on it.
Funny, but of all the things I have thought to do with that silly little pack of silicagel, tearing it open and pouring it into my mouth just wasn’t one of them.
Anyone? Have any of you found yourself craving a little snack while shopping and going for one of these little packets?
Hey, I hear it tastes just like chicken.

Yes, Dr. J, it is time for another garbage post. This scarecrow sort of gave me the creeps. One, because of the horror movie smile, two because I couldn’t see its eyes and three, quite frankly because it took these people six months to toss the Halloween decorations. Seriously, can you imagine the crap they have in their house?
Sorry there was no Mel in this picture, I think the scarecrow creeped her out too.
In case any of you were wondering, no, none of my neighbors have yet to call me on my Garbology photo-taking practices. The key is walk early in the morning.

Oh yeh, I SO want to ride the good bus. I mean, who wouldn’t? I saw this parked in a lot on 49th and 11th and had to snap a pic.
So here’s the deal on the good ole Good Bus. They operate out of Vermont and throughout the northeast. They have a regular schedule from VT to NYC and you can also book them for private parties. They welcome bachelor/bachelorette parties (I assume there is an upholtstery cleaning surchage).
So, my friends, when you are having a bad day, consider taking a ride on the Good Bus (yeh, I know, that should be their tagline)

I find this both charming and creepy at the same time. Tucked in between a traditional snowglobe and 2 over excited high-fiving buddah bookends was this fairly old specimen. This particular thrift shop sold everything from furniture to… well to snowglobes.
Why I did not buy it is beyond me. Hell, it was only four bucks (note to self: must go back and purchase this).
What always gets me when I see something like this is what on earth was going on in the mind of its creator. ‘Yeh, so lets make this snowglobe. And we can put this sort of really creepy smiling baby with no nose in it. And it can be crawling away from this pink elephant while sort of looking out of the glass in a longing way. And right in front of it we can put a duck with one leg who has its eyes closed. And then in the background, just for shits and giggles, lets but a palm tree and maybe a bunny and some messed up blue thing that might be a whale. Yeh, this will be a great baby gift for…’
the criminally insane, maybe?

Spotted on West 14th Street. Hey, for the price of an iPad you can rid yourself of that pesky spouse.
What is this world coming to?

Now here is a street vendor who has got it going on. If you look at the signage in the background, you will see that he is parked right in front of the Apple store on West 14th Street. This dude has set up shop in the ultimate location, selling all the i-accesorries you could ever need. Talk about a captive market.
We just need to help him work on his signage a little bit… not all that tasteful.
Then again, that yellow and red can’t be missed. Sometimes tacky works.
