WTF Wednesday: Scrunchies, Buddhist Yoga Butt, Hands of a Clown

Hello there, Wednesday! Hello there, WTF!

Last week we were at a sold out show at the Orange Peel, standing behind a woman with a curtain of fine, silky hair.

  
The Orange Peel has a "Big Ass Fan" which blows a stiff breeze through the room.

You can probably guess that long hair plus a big ass fan equals disaster for everybody behind her. We all had mouthfuls of her hair. Next time, I am bringing some of these to hand out. Simple.


Moving on to an interesting book I picked up at Goodwill last week - Buddhist Yoga. 

buddhist yoga

Written in 1975 by Kanjiitsu Iijima, this book contains many nuggets of wisdom, some anecdotal (balding man stops using soap on his head, hair grows back), and some helpful diagrams.

But the most stunning paragraph, maybe the most stunning paragraph I have ever read, is below (Extraordinary effectiveness of constricting the anus): 


constricting the anus

I don't know where to begin with this information, but I felt it needed to be shared. WTF!?


Now for a segue into gospel LP's. 

the loopers

 So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking.  

ASK.

WTF Wednesday: Thrashing, Churning, and Caroling

Happy Wednesday! Happy WTF!

Let us begin with a question to modern society - when did it become acceptable (mandatory?) to wear head to toe black and only black? Every piece of clothing and luggage these people were wearing was black. 


 I know I dress like a pinata, but come on.

Here's some lovely hotel art signed by the photographer - Janet van Arsehole.


 Moving along to perennial favorites - 60's record albums!  The Thrasher Brothers - 

 Are Coming Your Way!


And Are Turning it On!



These people are seriously churning butter.


And The Vicksburg


 In Nashville, in white shoes, next to a river.

This looks like an interesting book. 



Gotta read it to find out which part.

Lastly some holly jolly holiday decorations.


Pretty much sums up my feelings about the holidays.



 Are you caroling, or are you barfing to death? Hard to say!

trucker hat bonanza

while thrifting last week i came upon a bin chock full to the point of overflowing with vintage 70s and 80s mesh and foam trucker hats. 

it was clearly the collection of one man.  a man who loved baseball caps. he may have had an obsession. 

there were 58 of them, a few of them have doubles, 95% were in unworn brand new deadstock condition.

i've already sold a handful, but you can see photos of the fronts of the entire original collection here: 70s 80s vintage trucker hats

i think it's a fascinating snapshot of a human being. 

what did he do for work?
