The Strange Olympics Sign

"Look, I am really sorry about this whole Olympic thing but sooner than later it will all be over and we will solve all our problems once and for all. Enjoy the games."

Is it an apology for all the Olympic disruptions, or is it a threat? It certainly doesn't seem to be the work of our local transit authority.

One thing that we do know is that it was a professionally made machined aluminium sign, and it was affixed to the sign pole by a metal strap, in a similar fashion used for other bus stop signs. A cheap sign, this isn't.

2008-01-20 Whittier Walk Weirdness

There was much weirdness on our walk today:


Yes — Please don't...


That it is...


Well, for one thing, he wouldn't put an image of himself (an idol) on your food...

2008-01-05 Cthulhu Pepper!

We found this miniature green pepper growing inside a larger green pepper. It even had tiny seeds inside it. It was very tasty, and was spicier than we expected.

2008-01-05 WARNING: MAY CONTAIN STONES!

An odd warning label seen on a couple dozen bins containing various types of beans at our local grocery store.

This brings to mind all sorts ideas for alternate stickers one could replace this with...

For the bin with the kidney beans:

"PRODUCT MAY CAUSE STONES"
"SCREAM and PASS AFTER USING"

Another good one is:

"PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN FOOD"

Here's a playground set that looks like a cross between Paul Klee's Twittering Machine and Alexander Calder's Lobster Trap and Fish Tail.


...And a pink elephant!
