Greatest logo for a steakhouse EVER!
This is Judson’s Steakhouse in downtown Grand Rapids. Pardon the picture - I had to use my phone to take it and they don’t have a version of it online.
As a note: while it’s hard to see here, the eye is a little X! I love it. It’s enough to get me to look past the fact that everyone knows it’s impossible to balance a cow like that, alive OR dead…
This was at a gas station in Morocco. The donkey even waited in line at the pump and moved forward when the car in front of him pulled away.
Very life-like. Moroccan craftmenship of gas-powered donkeys in one word?
Impeccable.
Because really, most people wouldn’t think of that and those who would probably wouldn’t do it. So props to this fellow. Way to keep the hands free.
I got pretty excited as I snapped this particular picture because for a moment, I thought his red dry cleaning was, in reality, a red cape. And that he was stretching his arm high into the air in preperation to fly off into the pale-blue sky, to return to a more peaceful planet, where city-sponsored lunch tables and chairs aren’t purposefully arranged in the middle of the friggin’ street, for people to be run over by taxis and poisoned by carbon monoxide.
Side note: getting this picture was tricky. I had to keep scooting up ahead of him when he walked passed cars, to hide behind the opposite front fender - that way, when he walked by I was able to snap clear pictures of him close up. So while I felt (and looked) like some sort of freakish stalking paparazzi, It was impossible to get a non-fuzzy shot otherwise.
“Caretas expressam as emoções dos atletas”
It means, “Check out the funny faces on these Olympic athletes” - and it’s a hilariously brilliant way to bring traffic to your website. Click the image to see more over at terra.com.
I play guitar. I’ve played it for a good solid while. And when asked by a coworker the other day if I was good, I said, “Yes.” Not, “Yeah… I’m pretty good,” or “Sure… I’m alright.”
I didn’t always “admit” that off the bat - call me shy and modest.
And then I found this young feller on a friends blog and decided I need to get back to practicing. I have two reasons why you have to watch this video, the first of which being interaction related:
1) He uses his guitar in a fantastically innovative way in this song. I mean, I’ve seen people use the guitar body as a drum and the like, but I’ve never seen someone pull of “sound effects” quite like Sungha Jung. Seriously, I love it. He’s a one man band with one instrument.
2) I love guitar. I love this kid. And I want the world to know. Sungha, you are my hero. He’s 11 and has been playing for 2 years. Sheesh…
Plus, he’s got some rockin’ fingernails on that right hand. I’m sure the 11-year-old ladies love it.
For those who haven’t seen one, this is a DVD rental machine - known as “Redbox.” You go anytime of day and rent DVDs with a credit card for a dollar a day (or for FREE! see: insideredbox.com). They put them in places like grocery stores and McDonald’s. One of it’s HUGE advantages as a vending machine, especially for college towns, is that it’s available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Well, unless of course it’s located in front of the Shop Rite in Millburn, NJ. That Shop Rite closes at 8:00pm (which is weird in and of itself). But it’s not that the Redbox machine is located inside the store or anything - it’s just that they padlock about a million shopping carts RIGHT IN FRONT of the machine!
Hilarious.
Granted, you can still get to the machine. But it’s hardly inviting. Seems Redbox didn’t really research this location out to intensely.
Note: they’re totally boxing out the Pepsi machine, too. That’s just wrong.
