Thirft Stores and Evil Clowns
Saturday afternoon I got ‘the finger’ shot at me. I was waiting in traffic to get onto I-4. There was some honking going on in front of me because some idiot was trying to turn into a no turning lane and was thus holding up all the traffic behind it. Cars finally began to navigate around this minivan. When I got my truck around the side of the van
the tinted window suddenly rolled down and a large black woman boiled out of it like some sort of jack in the box and promptly shot me the finger while shouting unidentified obscenities at me. Her tongue was very purple.
I was so shocked that I started to cackle out laughing. This seemed to enrage the lady further
but screw it
she was holding up traffic while I was about to zoom down I-4.
My friend Shallan carted me around town as we did some thirftshop rounds. I managed to make off with several goodies
a bunch of toys that I am going to bend for ebay
a little TV thought I thought was black and white but actually turned out to be color
and an evil clown doll.
Shallan’s hand had shot into a pile of battered old stuffed animals and yanked out this monstrosity and dangled it in front of me to see. It is quite clearly and evil clown. It appears to be hand made. And the fabric that was used on it was not nice cuddly fabric... it looked like leftover upholstery from a 1970’s couch. The kind of couch you keep wrapped in plastic. It was scratchy and uncomfortable to hold. The clown has an evil leering face stitched onto it. It’s face is openly evil and it makes no bones about that face that in the middle of the night it is going to run into your bedroom and crawl under your bed sheet and start gnawing on your nutsack. This morning I left it locked in the front room so it can’t get out. (yes
I bought it.) Pictures of it will be posted later.
We had some Thai food for lunch. It’s been a while since I had Thai and I forgot how damn good it is. For the first time I tried coconut and chicken soup. It was fantastic. So fantastic that I would like to learn how to make it myself. There is a Thai place near my work
I might pop in there for lunch. The restaurant we ate at was a little unusual in my eyes because the walls and ceiling were painted black. Outside of a nightclub I do not think I have ever been in a business where the walls and ceiling were black. It actually have it a nice effect and it caused the cheap gold colored trinkets they had bolted to the wall to really stand out.
The only complaint I have about Thai food is all the coconut milk in it can suddenly put your bowels into hyperdrive. I was driving home later that day and I heard an audible ‘gurgle’ in my nether regions and suddenly I knew I needed to get home. Fast.
At one thrift store I saw Shallan poking about in a pile of books. She would pull one out
look not at the title but the binder and frown at it
and then put it back. Finally she pulled out a couple of thick volumes and seemed satisfied. Curious
I asked what they were for. 'To hold up one end of my couch.'. Oh. Heh.
Sunday I was a loaf. I did absoultly nothing. I woke up at 11 and headed right to the roman bath where I soaked for another hour. Then I went to my folks house
had a huge meal
and then came home and promptly went back to sleep. I woke up a couple of times to snack on leftovers and poke around on either the computer or the tv. I was such a Jabba The Loaf yesterday that today I actually feel a little crampy from it. I am going to have to go for a bike ride tonight and work out the kinks. I was lazy
but sometimes you are allowed to be.
No idea what this week will bring.
