Monday Feature

As some of you know, my work takes me into retail stores and I also spend a good deal of time looking at store flyers. I’ve given examples before. I have quite a collection of images that either I’ve taken myself, people have sent me, or I’ve seen online that amuse me. From now until sometime in the near or distant future, I’ll use Monday’s post to showcase some of these so called “amusing images”.

Let’s get to it… this is an image I took from a local supermarket’s weekly flyer. It immediately reminded me of the movie American Pie I’m not sure that pie is filled with apple. Just sayin’.

This is the face of the man who literally wrote the book on Hip-Hop

OK, well maybe not the book, but at least book. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for his research sessions. I can picture him sitting in his den, merlot in hand, 2Pac on the stereo, pouring through research papers on the hip-hop. He probably sat in a cozy chair in front of a fire smoking the wrong kind of pipe.

Well that’s just plain nasty

Here’s another reason why I own a Kindle, don’t buy used books, and steer clear of libraries. Seems like a few scientists tested some library copies of 50 Shades of Gray and they were contaminated with the herpes virus. Hey, that’s awesome. Reminds me of the time I rented Ice Pirates

On the plus side, the books also contained traces of cocaine.

Read about it here.

I’ve Never Noticed This Before

 

I’ve watched Star Wars countless times; both the original theatrical version and the versions that Lucas “fixed” and I must say I NEVER once noticed this. Look closely at the below clip:

It’s hard to see, but but Alderaan clearly shoots first! This puts the whole trilogy in a whole new light.

In other Alderaan and Death Star related news, my six year old son is into both Legos and Star Wars (shocking, I know). He was asking for either the Lego Death Star or the Super Star Destroyer but those are ridiculously expensive. So, I got him Lego Alderaan instead:

You can find just about anything on the internet

Even if you’re not looking, things just have a way of popping up. Take the below image of Richard Nixon duking it out with a sabertooth tiger:

Notice that this isn’t entirely a fair fight. Not only is Tricky Dick standing in a sensitive area, he’s also sporting brass knuckles.
