the ones that got away

Here are a few amazing things we spotted at Value Village (on Walker Road, in case anybody wants to run over there and snap them up).

1) Framed leopard portrait done in marquetry:

found at value village

I actually love this picture and want it pretty badly, but can’t justify the $50 price tag right now. I do have a significant-number birthday coming up, though. . .

2) Wishing well made entirely out of Carlsberg beer caps, with working bucket. Also, the base is built around an old food can. I hope it’s from pork and beans.

found at value village

What’s to say? Amazing.

It’s exactly as good, or as bad, as it sounds.

horny

On our front steps as we were unloading our camping gear from the trailer: a tiny, torn piece of paper that says “horny”. And in not a bad typeface, too.

XXXX XL

xl

Every year the Pennsic number is mowed into the slope of Mount Eislinn. This year, the 40th Pennsic, someone mowed “XXXX” into the hillside and then had to go back later and correct it to “XL”. Oops.

pabst

Mommy and Daddy ought to put down the PBR long enough to teach me to spell.

This is, however, a perfectly acceptable use of Comic Sans.

i want this so much

triceratops

You guys. 20 foot animatronic Triceratops. Okay, so the copywriters at Hammacher Schlemmer did not get the memo about Triceratops not actually being a real dinosaur at all but merely the juvenile Torosaurus: SO WHAT. The only thing more awesome than a 20 foot animatronic dinosaur is a 20 foot animatronic BABY dinosaur, right? Listen: “motion activated cameras. . . work in unison with customized interactive software that enables [it] to recognize multiple subjects’ facial features”. AND IT BELLOWS.

Also, to throw your garbage into a garbage bin. Whew!
