i had a fun couple of days in NY this weekend. other than spending time with loved ones, a highlight was the met museum, where i'd never been, but could have stayed for 3 weeks. 

we saw the world's oldest piano. (no it's not this one).

WTF Wednesday - Spooning Horses, Sexy Jesus, Butts


Hello Wednesday! Hola WTF! Time to check out some crazy human creations!

First off, here is a ready-to-frame fine art print.



ummmmm?

WTF?!

Moving right along, here we find a sculpture simply called "My Friend." 


a fez-wearing shriner holds a squirming little crippled boy on his lap. The boy's crutches are on one side, a dog on the other.

 
WTF!?
I apologize for the blurriness of this picture, but please feast your eyes on Sexy Jesus. Wet hair tousled, knowing smirk, glimmer in his eye. If not full on Sexy Jesus, at least Soap Opera Jesus. 


WTF?!

Next up, how about some horses in a very unnatural position? I am not a horse person, but I don't think they actually sit like this.


It would be a lot cooler if they did. WTF?!

Last but not least, please check out this 3.5 minute animation by our friend Guadalajara Joe that could leave you bemused, confused, and amused.  "Kickin' It in Coalinga" - "Gayle must save Aunt Fitzgerald from a big scary shark by getting a job to get enough money to save her!"






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

daily sugarhoney: sugarstuffed animal


sugarhoney is quickly turning into a dream puppy. the more she controls her bowels, the more we love her. it's simple math.

we wanted a sweet cuddler, and a sweet cuddler she is. we are so lucky!

kevin & sugarsnugs

you can pick her up and put her somewhere, and she falls asleep. she's cool with it.

if pouncey could talk, he might have a different opinion. he spends a couple hours each day fending off razor pin tooth bites.  other than that, she is just a damn sugarangel.

WTF Wednesday: Vintage Album Edition


Hello Wednesday, hello WTF! 

Welcome back to the day of the week where we marvel at the depths of human randomness. This week will be short but sweet as I am working on a Vintage Halloween Costume post that should go live this afternoon. In the meantime, let's WTF, vintage record album style! 


Here's a bejeweled Rita Coolidge looking fine, sensually touching a wall. But hold up! The lady's not for sale. 

For sale? In the Indecent Proposal sense of the word? In the "How much is that doggy in the window" sense of the word? 

WTF?!

Next we find the Shifflett Family. 


Better than Ever. I don't know where to begin. So I will not.

Last but not least we have the Happy Hearts Quartet.


 I hope their singing is better than their math. 

WTF?!

daily sugarhoney: sugarshadow


if you're wondering where sugarhoney is, all you have to do is call for pouncey.

sugarshadow

he will come galloping, and she will be hot on his tail.  pouncey and his shadow.

they are all getting along very well now. even eli has warmed up.

the three amigos

unfortunately it will be another 3 weeks before sugarhoney can leave the confines of the house and yard. she needs another round of vaccines before she gets the green light.

galloping sugarhoney

until then she is perfectly content to scurry around the lawn.

WTF Wednesday: Sassy Souse, Neuticles, Safari Teddy


Hello Wednesday, hello WTF!

If you tuned in last week, you may remember reference to livermush, and a livermush festival.

  
Perusing my grocer's freezer, I happened upon an entire section of liver loaves and was intrigued by its neighbor named "Souse." 

Marketed as "Sassy Souse." Upon investigation, it's also known as head cheese. I cannot imagine a more disgusting food label than "head cheese." I can see why they are going with "souse" instead.



 It seems to contain, pork, pork tongues, pork hearts, pork skins, a bunch of carcinogenic preservatives, pickles, and wheat gluten. Fully cooked, ready to eat, a delicious sandwich meat.

WTF?!

 Moving right along to dog balls. Neuticles (slogan: "It's like nothing ever changed.") are prosthetic testicle implants that you can get for your male dog when he is neutered. There are some hazy allegations that they may help the dog's self esteem, but the main purpose seems to be the owners like the way they look, and owners who would not neuter because they want their dog to have balls, will now neuter and implant these fake balls instead.

As if that weren't WTF enough already, they sell neuticle-related items like...earrings. Dog ball implant earrings. 



WTF?!

Ending on a more vintage note, here's a late 80s to early 90s crop top half t-shirt with a Jeep Wrangler-driving, pith helmet-wearing Teddy bear on African safari. 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/203745873/80s-vintage-half-t-shirt-safari-teddy


It's a size XL and in glorious condition.

WTF?!
