| Strange Photos |
 by Fëanor |
I found a couple of old photos on my phone that I thought were worth posting. They both need a little backstory. The first one comes from a trip we took a while back up to the area of Rutgers New Brunswick to meet a friend of poppy's, a very smart, very cool guy named Anthony. Anthony likes all the right things, including Buffy, SNL, The Colbert Report, greyhounds, comic books, and Lord of the Rings. Anyways, while we were up there, we went over to an art museum at the school and checked out an exhibition of prints by Francisco Goya. I've always been pretty impressed by Goya's work, and I find his depictions of monsters and witches particularly effective. I also see the roots of Mike Mignola's work in Goya, which pleases me. Anyway, as we were walking into the exhibit, we were struck by this sign, which reveals the sponsor of the exhibit - a sponsor who is at once completely appropriate, and painfully inappropriate:
The next picture is more recent and is from our trip to Rehoboth Beach. One of the things we always do when we're in Rehoboth is go shopping, because there are tons of outlets, and Delaware has no sales tax. We stopped in a Pier One and saw this sign, which I found very odd, especially since there was nothing nearby that looked anything like what it described. poppy pointed out that it was probably referring to these stuffed things that are meant to sit at the bottom of your door and keep out drafts. But still... questionable choice of product name.
