Toof marks of a skorl.

New camera case

I had a few drinks on Friday and seem to have lost the old one...

Found in the trash

Unused. Awesome.

Playsuit!!!!

Could this be any cuter?







Seriously.

(Started out as shorts.)

Found this weekend

Christmas Trimmeries!





Woo!

And this amazing spotlight:





Greg fixed a loose connection and now it works perfectly!

Yay!

Cheese Crispies:

The Other Part of Your Cocktail.





For keeping things in.

Greenpoint questions

Dear Planet Tanz: Do you find that adorning your awning with a giant disturbing tumor is good for business?



Just wond'rin'.

Dear Coned: Yes, why erect barriers AROUND a hazard when you can just chuck 'em right on top?



No assembly required!

Official signage of the MTA

I don't even know what to say about this.

More Nassau Avenue!

I patted the HECK out of this little kitty.

Nassau Avenue

Defunct luncheonette:



With bird's nests!





Smart birds.

Jumpsuit

Is it wrong to want one of these?



I can't tell if it'd look good or INSANE.

Hand tools needed

I want to make one of these!

Dear New York State Department of Taxation and Finance

Did you know that W-2 forms have special perforations? And special "coupons" for state taxes? Designed to be removed and attached to the IT-201 form??

Um, so I shouldn't have TO FILL OUT A STUPID SUMMARY OF W-2 STATEMENTS???!!

Keep that in mind next year.

Sincerely,

R. Roberts

Nice

Found in (swiped from?) semi-abandoned house on Dresden Row in Halifax, Nova Scotia, many years ago.





Too bad it's missing some diamonds. Probably still worth a pretty penny though.

Uh, literally.

Keep up the good work, economy

No action across the street in months.

My grandfather made this

Back in the Olden Days, when people used 3 1/2-inch floppies.





I rescued it from the trash at my grandmother's house.

Chinese restaurant

Art.



With thermostat!



Hee hee, they cut a hole in it! (Thanks for bringing this to my attention, Jen.)

Also: Waiter, how is the WE WOULD BE TWO LOVE-BIRDS FLYING WING TO WING ON HIGH tonight?



I'll try it!

It's a joke, son!

"Elaborate"

"Pansy"

"Scheme"

Say it out loud and channel current events.

Thank you.

New York flowers

Frankly I was expecting a more elaborate pansy scheme.

Ah ha ha!

Watch out Greg, I just won this on eBay!






















Sweater time!!

Matching tins!

Bought years apart. Small tin from a Toronto (I think, or Halifax?) Value Village at least five years ago. Big tin last summer at a gas station in New Brunswick for $3! In their back room they had vintage items for sale.





If you look closely: in Brokeback Mountain after the two guys reunite and the wife watches them make out through the window, there is a scene in the front hallway of the apartment. On the shelves in the background—one of these tins!! Exactly the same.

Famous.

I keep colored pencils in them.

Printed matter

Found in a "free" box.





Maybe I could peddle these on the street, like deaf people peddle sign language cards?

New shirt!

Also found in a bag by the curb.



Not too shabby.

I hope I find this next.

Check this out:

Alarmed skorl!
















Thanks Golden Gems.

What is up with the squirrel's nest?

It lost all its stuffing.

"Shorts"

They're almost done and they are looking pretty weird!



I'm hoping that a waistband and little cuffs will bring it all together.

Well, it's officially summer

On Graham Avenue, anyway.

I found this!

Silk scarf. In the trash.



Mine now!
