….and then there were feet?
….and then there were feet?

This picture is so amazing that I’m going to spend the rest of the week on it. I could probably spend an ENTIRE week on it, but really that’s too much madness for one week.You could get lost in it. Take crazy-eyes here. Crazy-eyes, like so many of her friends, lives in a foot. It’s […]

I bought it, dear reader
I bought it, dear reader

I don’t know what it is. It wants to serve something small and nibbley. I tried peanut M&Ms, but they just kind of rolled out, onto the counter, then the floor, then the german shepherd ate them. So that wasn’t it. If I was to guess–and I guessed M&Ms and got that wrong–it could be a glorious […]

Your Monday one of those
Your Monday one of those

I’m pretty sure you haven’t seen one of these before. Whatever the heck it is. Wherever you’re supposed to put it, however you’re supposed to wear it, whatever appetizers you’re supposed to serve in it, you’re not prepared to face this on a Monday, so here it is. The jury is entirely out as to […]

Blue, bahdabadee bah dabahdah da da
Blue, bahdabadee bah dabahdah da da

I have never seen anything so happy as this…whatever. So I want to share him with you, since it’s Monday and all, and you’re a good person and deserve good things. This may not be a good thing. It may be an excessively cheerful blue poop, but let’s be optimistic. This looks like it’s sort […]

I <3 NY
I <3 NY

Not New York City, no, other people love NY in that way, I love NY on a conceptual level. The graceful curve of the “Y”, the strong, forthright lines of the “N.” I love them like I love tortilla chips. A huge bowl of them. Dozens. Let them swarm. By repetition, they become wild. So…this […]

Nine little pustules
Nine little pustules

Well, maybe they aren’t pustules. but maybe they are. When I saw this row of whatever the hell they were, I had two thoughts: “oh, someone had their vintage raw pizza dough collection mounted,” or “…we need to see a dermatologist. Now, preferably.” Color-corrected slices of infected tonsil, prepared for classroom discussion? Rejects from a […]

Idle hands
Idle hands

    I wish this was a mystery, it’s not. Somehow, if this was an alien artifact from Dimension 14, it would actually make a little more sense, But jarring color schemes, strange gesticulations, and an odd “I Dream of Jeannie” logo do not an alien culture make, unless 11-year-old girls are an alien culture. […]

Truth in advertising.
Truth in advertising.

Yep, that is, indeed, what it is. At some point, you do have to give in. There are things that defy labels. Creatures whose only natural habitat is as a background element in “Yellow Submarine.” They are the weird things, blue heads, big feet, leaning together, headpieces filled with clay. They are also discounted after […]

Do not adjust your monitor.
Do not adjust your monitor.

I promise, this is not upside-down. Do you remember when your mom got you a copy of “Highlights for Children?” Or maybe you found it in the dentist’s office, there was usually a copy there on that corner shelf. I don’t know, I’m obviously not you. About halfway through there’d be a games section, and […]

Kill it! With fire!
Kill it! With fire!

Just when you thought it was safe to shop in the “brick-a-brak” section… In a shelf full of odds and ends, this is the oddest. Possibly the endest, but I don’t think that takes an adjectival superlative form. I think it may be a jabberwock, but it looks more like some sort of hideous harvesting […]
