the best kept secrets

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Maybe it's just me, but I think that garroting oneself with skeleton keys on a string is probably not the best way to keep a secret. Unless, of course, the secrets are in one's head and one plans to keep them by making one's head come off of one's body so that it can no longer speak or make knowing faces or nod.

So yeah. It might work. I take it back.

If I were tethered to my airship, I'd keep looking back too. Just in case. You know... air pirates.

sprouts

Description

This is the correct way to serve them in Belgium, although sometimes modified if served mashed in a stoemp in which the heads of tiny Belgians replace the sausage. Bon appetit!

Walk With Me - Rabbit Print

First to recommend

Description

Do not follow nefarious rabbit. Follow speaking bunny = danger. Don't you read?! Obviously not. Your clothes don't even fit you! I can tell you're still thinking about it.

Be careful or you will never live to learn algebra! And then where will you be? Dead. Without ever knowing algebra.

This is what the bottle always looked like when I made gin and tonic for my grandmother when I was three.

It's a lot different now.

I can actually lift the bottle.

Dear Headless Forgotten Bride in the Unlikely Brown Fur Shoes,

Putting your lack of head inside of the Dexter machine is not going to help you. Please step away from the nefarious retro killing machine disguised as a washer or you might just lose your lack of head. And then he'll never take you back. Unless you replace it with a flaming pumpkin. Then he might. I saw the girl he left you for, and she had a flaming pumpkin for a head.

Thanks,
Management

A Gentleman's Adventure

First to recommend

Description

I say! You there! Bird! Mmm-hmm-mmm, yes! You there, hovering against the laws of physics! Yes, yes! Would you be so sporting as to instruct your flockmates in the background there not to rupture my aerial apparatus? Yes, yes. Yes, I see. Very good. I'll have to be on my way now. Pip pip! It seems that I've chosen quite anachronistic footwear. I must rectify this at once! Cheerio, chap! Cheerio!

Enchanted Photograph

Description

These birds are on the way across North Dakota. I saw them on a drive I took with my best friend Jessica across the country from Florida to Washington State.

A metal worker in Regent saw that his town was dying after the highway took drivers far from where they would stop through. So he made figures like these all down the road from the highway into town and people visited them. This kept the shops from dying.

After driving through the entirety of North Dakota all in one crazy night, this image was the first thing I saw at dawn... rolling hills covered in nothing but dead husks... and these GIANT metal sculptures keeping watch over the vast countryside.

Absolutely breathtaking.

pink trees

First to recommend

Description

"You know when it's summer, and everything is warm and pink and lovely. You escape from grown ups for a little while to hang out in the secret spot where you're not supposed to go because your mom thinks that there might be dangerous hobos there, or people doing drugs or something, which there never are. So this boy and girl are there together. Boy thinks he is going to really impress Girl by blabbing about some band he knows, or movie that he saw, but Girl is preoccupied by this dandelion and wondering when boy is going to shut up and kiss her already."

Miss Brigette may have just summarized exactly what it's like to be a teenager.

So what about adulthood?

Replace woods with bar. Replace dandelion with vodka tonic. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Three Birds on a Wire

First to recommend

Description

At the corner of Banyan and Clearwater by the Channel Five building in West Palm Beach, there are always a billion birds just chillaxing on the wires across the road by the lake. And if you time it just right, and you gun it and honk, you can fill the sky with birds as you drive by....
