WTF Wednesday: Cucumber Shark, Standing on a Head
Hola Wednesday! Hola WTF!
Hola funny looking mom.
Hola Classic Aerobic Woman. ("aerobic dance exercises to the world's best loved classical music").
These dolls are creepy as hell. Even for me. I've seen on the ol antiques roadshow that some of these things might be worth a bunch of money, but I can't bring myself to get into dealing dolls.
Hola ceramic teddy, how are you balancing like that?
Oh okay.
Hola crazy white boy, aka hit man. Probably headed to the Trump rally.
Hola cucumber shark!
(You might remember Harvey's other work that's been WTFeatured, Melon Garnishing.)
World's Greatest Dieter drinks nothing but water from this.
Last but not least, they flashed a minute of the halfcourt show at the Hornets game last week, and this was on the screen.
There's a man wearing wrestling gear balanced on this man wearing wrestling gear's head.

WTF Wednesday: Food Raps, Football Bunny, Stripper Spaniel
Good morning, Wednesday! Good morning, WTF!
Let's begin with a music video some friends made for a rap project called Food Raps - they rap about food. This may not be appropriate for the very young or the very sensitive: South of the Border
Featuring Chad Galactic, Vitamin D (Dave Brogan of ALO), and animated by Josh Clark (Tea Leaf Green) - there's a whole lotta WTF goin on there. I hope their next food rap is about nuts, because that's what they are. An entire CD filled with food raps may be found here.
Moving on to vintage WTFery, here's a quarterback bunny, with holes cut in the helmet for his ears.
Another totally normal Easter-inspired figurine.
A very old jewelry box with a cocker spaniel who appears to be stripping? A mink stole?
Last but not least, a pair of cats in a blanket. Watching you, always watching you.

Behind the T-shirt: San Nicolas Island Sweatshirt
I found this 70's San Nicolas Island souvenir hoody sweatshirt recently, and never having heard of the place, did some googling.
Turns out it's one of the Channel Islands off the coast of central California, known for the story of Juana Maria, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island.
Basically in the 1830s, her island was invaded by Russian fur trappers, and then soon evacuated by missionaries from Santa Barbara, but she somehow missed the boat. She survived on San Nicolas Island alone for 20 years, in a hut made of whale bones, until she was found and brought over to Santa Barbara in 1853, where she smiled and and sang songs and was very happy, by all accounts.
Until she died 7 weeks later from dysentery.

Behind the T-shirt: Erasmus Hall High School
i found this soft, thin 80's t-shirt last week from the Erasmus Hall High School Bicentennial celebration.
The wikipedia tells me it closed in 1994, but for 207 years was a high school in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.
Some notable alumni/attendees include: Neil Diamond, Joseph Barbera (Hanna Barbera), Billy Cunningham, Al Davis, Clive Davis, Bobby Fischer, Jim Florio, Samuel LeFrak, Gabe Kaplan from Welcome Back Kotter, Barbra Streisand, and Mae West, among dozens.
Here's former EHHS Dutchman Neil Diamond modeling the shirt.

sugarspay
our favorite little dumptruck went under the knife yesterday.
she went through one heat in august, and that was plenty. there are no sugarpuppies in our future.
she did great in her surgery, and was doing okay once we came home, though she was pacing around whimpering until she settled in this spot to watch the game with her dad.
she is expected to make a full recovery, and will have stitches for the next two weeks, during which time she is to be kept dry and calm. all we can do is try on that one!
way to go sugarsnickers!
