One building; so many opportunities.

The morning amphetamines haven't kicked in yet, and I'm having a tough time figuring out what I'm looking at. Is it one of those buildings where firefighters practice with their hoses and ladders?

No, wait. It seems to be some sort of an underground bar / bathhouse.

Even the Chairs are cowering in the corner, uncertain what they're supposed to be doing about the giant manta ray that swooped down into the missile silo.

And in this room, we have a giant hatbox. Or possibly a six-foot-across wedding cake. Why? What's going to leap out of it? Will it hurt me?

Wandering over here, we seem to be in a lawyer's waiting room.

Or maybe not. I'm not saying this is a bordello. I'm just saying... never mind. On advice of the legal counsel I waited for above, I'm not saying anything.

Now we seem to be in an office. Or a movie set. Possibly a furniture showroom.

Noooo... we're in an airport? In Dubai? In 1978?

Ah hah! It's a fire station! All is clear.

(Found by Beth, who says that it isn't even in a residential area but instead is on a service road. That doesn't really help with the confusion, does it?)

This blog brought to you by the following corporate sponsors...

I've seen a lot of stupid graffiti in my time, but this... oh, dear. See it? Up there in corner? It's the frikkin' Ford logo.  And then below it, we have "Like a ROCK" (underlined three times, because the writer really means it). What are vandals coming to? Tsk tsk, modern urban yout'.

In my day we made up our own corporate mottoes, thank you very much. I still recall scrawling "PEPSI: SOME PEOPLE LIKE HOW IT TASTES" on the desk during Western Civ, and spraypainting "MOP 'N GLOW: IT MOPS AND GLOWS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT" on the overpass heading out of town...

Tragically, this apartment building will never feel the touch of a human hand.

Is it just me, or...

Yeah, pretty certain it's just me.


(Found by Courtney. My "what's that character I'm thinking of, you know the one..." babbling figured out by Josh. Concrete picture swiped from here. Dang, that's a lotta links.)

Shall I be mother? Very very tall mother?

Yes! You sit up here:

Your guest sits up here:

...and you have the most awesome tea party ever. "Pass me the cucumber sandwiches, will you, dear?" *thwack*

Ah, college days

Admittedly, sofa-in-the-hedge look isn't usually a selling point. But it seems to be on fire, so the problem will've taken care of itself soon enough.

Another for the "actually I think this is awesome" file

And that, boys and girls, is why we never leave oatmeal unattended in the microwave.

Always in the last place you look

 

Is it there? No...

 

Not there, either...

There it is! That's where I left the sink! Wait for me, guys, I'm coming!
