Back in 1996, this fax came in at the job I was working. There was no cover sheet, and no TO: or FROM: information that we could decipher. We saved it for a month to see if anyone would actually claim it, then were going to throw it away when I decided that it was too gloriously insane to lose. I saved the papers, taped them together, and laminated it for safekeeping. I’ve had it ever since then. Gotta love the crazy.

Click through to the image on Flickr and then mouse over for my notes doing my best to interpret the scrawls.

This really deserves to be seen larger to get the full impact.

We saw this at our local Safeway while doing our morning shopping, and I immediately cracked up. Disgusting, bizarre, and kind of creepy, all in one. At least it’s “guaranteed tender”!

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone — or Happy S.A.D. (Singles Awareness Day), depending on your situation. Whichever it is, I hope you have a good one.

Happy Halloween!

Jack-o-Lantern

A silly, simple one-day-only design change to celebrate Halloween. Have fun today, and watch out for ghoulies, ghosties, and things that go bump in the night!

Another multi-image collage to tide things over while I try to get caught up with photos. I’ve never seen a human cannonball before, and actually didn’t even know this was still done. Pretty cool to see! It’s hard to see at this size, but on the top right image, you can actually see smoke and flame coming out of the barrel of the cannon as he exits.

This was one of the best things we saw at the Puyallup fair. Put a kid no older than six (the youngest we saw was three) and no heavier than sixty pounds on a sheep and let them try to hang on for six seconds. Really cute, and really funny!

I took a ton of pictures of this, and now I’m having a terrible time trying to cull them down to just a few that are post-worthy. They’re just all so cute…and kind of hilariously disturbing, since it’s essentially a series of young children falling on their heads. The kind of thing you know you really shouldn’t laugh at, but….

Anyway, I put together this collage as a sample of what each round looked like.
