Poor lonely red sign board. He tries to smile but his mouth won't nearly turn up enough. He needs a friend. I'll just go to www.hookups4signboards.com and find someone for him... Oh! An answer already!
Maybe it starts as a little kid when your parents say goodnight and turn out the lights. Stuff that was one thing is now something else. Scary monsters. Funny clowns. Jabba the Hut. Coming from the mind of the girl who once thought there were tiny people in the radio and alligators under her bed, are photos of all the things that stayed alive after the light came back on. Oh, and also some funny signs.

"I nearly,
[strum strum strum strum]
I nearly lost youuuuu..."
That's the only song I can remember, because boys and girls, that's all they had. So from the Where Are They Now files, now you know that after their brief musical career peak in the early 90s, the Screaming Trees ended up in the wooded portion of my office parking lot.

We've had this hutchy-cabinety thing for like a half year, and not 'til we put it next to the recliner (my optimal viewing area) did I notice the Tragedy / Comedy theme in the carvings. It's not obvious, so I gotta sit wonder every time I'm in the recliner whether the carpenter had pms or was bipolar or a thespian or all of those.
Alright well, I couldn't find a good picture of the seal I wanted, so here's Seal. I wanted the one in the movie Elf with Will Ferrell. I think there was one at least in the beginning of the movie, when Tinkletoes (I suddenly can't remember his name in the movie - is this entry mad cow, or what? [Denny Crane!]) was walking through the animated snowy scene and there were a few North Polish animals chillin' (so to speak) nearby and chattin' with Elfenmagic (what was his name?!).
I don't know what to say. Sometimes you see a face at the beginning of a meal... and other times it's the end of a meal and there's a hot wing mouse that had a gory-licious run-in with some silver-plated fork tines and ended up splorting creamy peppercorn ranch guts, leaving you to wonder how his tiny foot got way in the middle of the plate, and where's the other foot? The forks not talking.
I loved Petey. He was so cute putting his little paws over his ears when Alfalfa was singing. Here he is again on the porch. The ring around his eye hasn't washed off all these years. His smile is just as sky blue as it always was (most people never knew of his blue lips, since Little Rascals was filmed in black & white). In fact I think the only thing that's changed - and it hasn't hurt his looks whatsoever - is the third eye. I do wonder if it developed on its own, or if he decided on the surgery. I'm suspicious particularly of the latter.
I don't know if you've seen this children's movie but it co-stars my office's security alarm (on the wall, left). The alarm is a character actor, so you may not have heard its name. Anyhoo! Bottom left, in costume, MOA (my office alarm) takes on the role of "Blanky" in the film "The Brave Little Toaster."

Every so often, I post a picture that is not related to the face thing. I have a deep affection for signs depicting stick people sustaining major injuries. This one is telling you that if you stay still while a soda machine falls on you, some soda will squirt out of 4 places in your skull. So... unless you want that to happen, move out of the way when a soda machine is falling.

Grover says, "I used to be big. More loveable than Cookie Monster. I could wait tables like nobody even when the customer's voice is like the 6th grade horn section. And I still had energy to maintain my identity as Super Grover on the weekends. Then came that brat Elmo and his friend Zoey. All giggly when you tickle him and with the chicken dance thing. HENSON!! YOU TOOK MY SOUL WITH YOU!!" Grover needs a break from selling his likeness on dog food cans.
