Thank God it wasn't a kitty.

I pulled it because it's just too weird.

I've got other "kitsch" on the upper perluns in the shop, most of which came from the dumpster.
Canoe paddle, pizza delivery car sign, ad for Jimmy Hart appearing at a local high school, etc.

I hope this doesn't come to life and murder me.

Looks like some kind of fertility symbol.

After fostering for almost 3 months, we just adopted out two all gray boys from a litter and mother that were living just on the other side of the row of cars.

...and we took in a feral/stray from someone else that's head is swollen with mange. After 4 days he's already showing some improvement.

When I first opened the lid, I had flashbacks of Greg Brady surfing in Hawaii.

Sounds like someone watched this.
I'm not superstitious.
But I often wonder if things do have bad juju though.
There is a world we can't see.
Things happen that are too much of a coincidence.
And I've heard stories from reliable people in my life.
Give it some consideration.

 

[YY1]

Exactly what I was talking about.

It's at the shop.

Maybe it will keep watch over the place.

...or attract loose women.

Used to hear voices in our bedroom and sometimes music playing. Everything was real faint but when things were quiet, we could hear. One night the wife said 'could you all please be quiet' and that was it. Another time when I was looking up at the night time sky, I just happen to see a tiny dot start moving. If you held up a ruler at arms length, it moved about an inch then stopped and then made a 90 degree move and went about another inch and then stopped. It wasn't moving very fast.....took about a minute to travel an inch. The voices etc happened in the late 80's and the sky thing was in 68. That's all I got.....I'm not superstitious either and walking under ladders etc never bothered me.....well, maybe that's why marriages failed lol

I saw that. It's a slick, commercial box, but not sure where it's from.

Dumpster gets emptied either Mondays or Tuesdays.

Might be gone if I go back to see.

I do know a mom and pop garage that has a lathe.

I took a stack of drums there a few years ago.

All but one would be out of spec if turned to remove all of the ridges, but they turned them down as far as they could without breaking spec.
I appreciated that.

Whatever you do - do not - RUB it..

Have been envious hearing stories of people selling a painting or vase at their rummage sale for 2 bucks and later find the item worth hundreds of thousands of dollars..

WTF??

Find out when the Antiques Roadshow is coming close by and take it there to have it appraised.

Billy liked and bought five paintings at the Social Concerns Thrift Store for a dollar apiece when we lived in Louisiana. Two were double signed and all were numbered. He didn't recognize the artist's name.

I'd say his impulse purchase was a good one.

Wow! You have my envy.

 

[gdrill]

That is a funny looking bong!

Hey brother be very, very careful. That is an Amazonian war head. The holder of such lives under the threat of death by thousands of pigmy warriors with flaming poison darts.They come when you least expect it - typically in the middle of the night - they start between your toes and work slowly up to between your legs and inject your junk with the flaming poison until,it’s a fire you can’t put out with a thousand gallons of water. Then slowly upwards to your face, mouth and eyes. This torture is a mandate from the Amazonian gods to destroy their victim who is seen as a threat to their existence and have been assigned your demise. So it is written and so shall it be carried out …… In order to rid yourself of this you must seek out an Amazonian fortune teller to give you the secret to evade this tortuous death….. Otherwise your “future” is written in the night sky soon to be carried out …… Never leave home w/o a Bible in your possession….… Good luck….
