Stupid Photos

When I see something goofy, I try to take a picture of it with my phone so that I can "blog about it" later. The blogging part seems to seldom happen, but finally I'm clearing out the old iPhone photo bank and I'll put a few shots up here.


This was the sign for the women's restroom at the Chart House where Scott and Kristen held their wedding(ish) reception. The site of the building is next to an old public bathing/swimming house, and thus I assume that's what they are going for here. Nevertheless, it seems this woman is in a suspicious position of sorts.

Here we have a stuffed gorilla strapped onto the back of a motorcycle. It's just not something you see every day. Should he be wearing a helmet?

When we made our family vacation trek to Florida, we stayed overnight in Montgomery, Alabama. I took a quick stroll around the hotel area, looking for historical monuments and such, and near the river there was an area formerly used to transport cotton from the South, which now had been renovated into a park and amphitheater. As is the trend, an area was set aside where people could donate money (I presume) and get a brick with their name on it. This one happened to catch my eye. You can see in the lower corner, that Betty J. Piatt is a "Classy Lady", but I would certainly not pick her in a bar fight over Cher Bollinger, the slayer of dragons.

In a very similar vein, here we have a shot of some of the vanity bricks in front of Lucas Oil Stadium, the new home of the Indianapolis Colts. I decided to try and slip in some props for the Miami Dolphins, and sure enough, they were more interested in taking my money than in ensuring all Colts bricks were, you know, for the Colts. Go Dolphins!

Not far from our Dolphins-supporting Colts' brick, I spotted this brick in favor of the Chicago Bears. Props to Brian Gajos, who had the cajones to not only buy the brick, but to cleverly disguise the "C" from the Chicago Bears logo as the Colts' horseshoe.

And finally...

This one really takes the cake. Just this week, while in San Diego attending the DEMO conference, we got behind this car with a very special license plate. How this one slipped through I'm not sure, but there it is for the world to see, a la "Assman" from the Seinfeld episode, but I doubt this guy is a proctologist. :)
