WTF Wednesday - Banana, Waffle, Aerobics


Greetings, Wednesday! Greetings WTF! 

Welcome to a short and sweet holiday edition of WTFW. 

In the past month I have found 2 food items left behind in cupboards by previous owners. Both expired in 2011.

things i found in cupboards from prior owners

Moving on to an 80's wunderproduct. 



Better off raw?And did somebody just take a bite off the front corner of that meat slab?



This 1979 book was full of black and white drawings and step by step instructions to show you how to enjoy exercise the way you've never enjoyed it before!

Last but not least, here is a waffle faced hound dog.

Happy Holidays!

As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

WTF Wednesday: Humping Seals, Smoking Snorkelers, Driving Dogs


Good day, Wednesday. Good day, WTF.

The pickins are rather slim this week as I spent several days in Tallahassee for a sweet 6 year old's birthday and haven't hit the thrift like usual. 

Here is a princess castle cake that Kevin and I decorated. It may not look exaaactly like the one in the video, but it did not fall over. 

hey we tried
Next we have a charming story from the BBC.  Seals discovered having sex with penguins. (warning, video is graphic - One seal eats his penguin mate).

http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20141117-why-seals-have-sex-with-penguins

Antarctic scientists have recorded at least 4 instances of this behavior - the only times pinnipeds (mammals) have been known to attempt mating with birds.

Jesus Christ Mother Nature, WTF?!

Here are a couple of dolls.


Research has shown that old couples look alike, but this is pushing it. 

Next up, what better place to store your hot water bottle and Advil? 


Here is a full page ad for Newport Cigarettes in the 1977 issue of Country Style magazine. 


Snorkeling and cigarettes go together like seals and penguins. Why bother, indeed.

Now for a couple of photos sent to me by my brother.  I am including his captions. 

Ok, you can drive this time.

So I was thinking maybe have Chinese for dinner tonight honey...what do you think?

ruff time for pups

since the passing of nacho just 2 months ago, 4 of my good friends and family's dogs have gone to join him in doggie heaven.

betsy had to say goodbye to tally.



kid D had to say goodbye to baxter.



sargentina had to say goodbye to baron von sleevenstein, aka steve the dog.



and then my parents had to say goodbye to henry.

it's been ruff! i would like to extend my sincerest sympathy to these 4 families - losing a beloved pet is traumatic and takes a lot of time to heal from that loss. 

the only thing that i know of to speed the healing has four legs and rhymes with fluppy.

good night, henry


a little spark of joy in this world was snuffed yesterday as my parents had to say goodbye to their almost 9 year old cavalier king charles spaniel, Henry.

he loved to ride in the car.

daily sugarhoney: sugarroll


sugarhoney is not the most svelte puppy i've ever seen.

sugarchunks and pounce

the extra skin on her back forms a sugarroll. a veritable dorsal fin of chub.

there was a sitcom called E/R from 1983-84 with elliott gould and george clooney. there was an overweight nurse whose husband sang her a song. i cannot find it on video, but it went like this:

i want a woman with loooooove handles
something i can hold on to
skinny girls just don't hooooold a candle
to my sweet meat mama, that's you!

this song reminds me of sugarhoney.

daily sugarhoney: sugarfoliage

USA Today has just named Asheville one of the top 10 brightest fall foliage destinations in the US.

i must say it's pretty spectacular.

sugarhoney had some fun in the leaves this weekend.

falling leaves sugarhoney

more than leaf peeping, she enjoys leaf eating.

 she also likes leaf sniffing.

and don't forget leaf snuggling.

WTF Wednesday: Jimmy Swaggart, Puppies with Jeans, Valentine Clouds


Good day, Wednesday! Good day, WTF!

Again the vintage gods have presented us with some fine record albums to ponder. 

 
 Jimmy Swaggart - I've Got Nothing to Lose. Oh yeah? Well then go right ahead meeting hookers at parkway motels, Mr. Swaggart! 

WTF?!

This is not so much WTF as I want to hang out with these people. 


Queen Ida and the Bon Temps Zydeco Band. Awesome outfits! Awesome faces!

I can't get enough of these family gospel singers. The dad in this one is especially cool.


The Hansel Hensley Singers. Do they go as a group to buy suits? Were they instructed not to touch each other? Why is the kid standing on the bench?

Next up, Marshall Henson, Over the Next Hill.



I'm not sure about mountain climbing in those white snakeskin boots, but you go for it, Marshall!

Let's move on to doggie items. How about a framed photo of a Lhasa Apso with glowing eyes stuffed in a Christmas stocking?



Hello K-9.

What cute German Shepherd puppies. What do they have there?


Jeans? They brought you your jeans and belt.


WTF?!

Last but not least, how about a giant, i mean giant, plug-in, whirring, wheezing, glowing HAPPY VALENTINE hearts and clouds installation? Just one Valentine's day i'd like to wake up and find this in my kitchen.



 it's really huge, like 6 feet tall, 10 feet wide.


WTF?!
