The cement structure to the left of the truck is a decaying diving platform. The sand in the foreground has been used to fill the former diving tank, where I was standing when I snapped this flick...

Exotic Slurpee Plant?

zagg — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:56:23

Posted in: Sarnia, ON by zagg. For nearly two years I've lived in my house, and today I noticed something different about my front hedge. It appears that it is not just any regular hedge, but actually a rare Slurpee plant! I've taken a photo of the strange fruit that I found for all you botany fans: What genus do you think it is? Seriously kids, littering is not cool. It is amazing the junk food that I get to pick up from my front hedge / back alley area. Usually it's junk food I'd never eat, at least this time it left me jelous! I loveeeeeeee me some banana flavoured Slurpee; I just wish the asshole who left this for me to pick up had been courteous enough to pick me one up too. One of these days I'm gonna make a sign reminding people not to litter, just you watch.

Private Parts !

Posted in: Surrey, UK by Maz. Spotted this sign today at a theme park. I stood and took a picture which meant I got a few funny looks but I think it was worth it. Anyone else got some amusing signs ?

SF Heist

Posted in: San Francisco, CA by eyeofodin. Wanderings. Mirages. Placid. Abrupt. Flung sideways amongst the hollow ruins, my eyes widened as they recorded my own life leave my temple, my body. Red vision fogged by the blue horizon, the waves of chaos dragged me inwards and below the monster of the conscious mind, a reservoir of disease and contempt. Or...I like turtles! Peace.

Posted in: Calgary, AB by Beardo. Some mice that I found in my travels around Calgary. These look as if they are "inspired" quite closely from Banksy's stuff. You know what they say about imitation.

Best Costco Moment of 2008

EvilGentleman — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:47:14

Posted in: Montreal, QC by EvilGentleman. I was shopping at Costco in the Montreal West Island suburb of Pointe Claire last month, when I saw this beautiful sight: An absolutely gorgeous Audi R8 sports car. Parked in FOUR handicapped spaces at once. With a PARKING TICKET!!! WOOHOO!! JUSTICE!!! And to top it all off, some jerk with a camera takes pictures of it... And even posts the plate number on the internet. LMAO!!! I am SO proud to be that jerk. I even stopped the Pointe Claire public security officer who gave the ticket and asked him how he felt about giving the ticket. He was pretty professional and said he was just doing his job. But he also said some tickets are a little easier to hand out than others, and this was definitely one of them. I smiled for the rest of the day.

The Olympic Rings and Flame

EvilGentleman — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 03:54:29

Posted in: Montreal, QC by EvilGentleman. When I drove past Montreal's Olympic Stadium shortly after the opening of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, I noticed something I had never seen before. The torch above the Olympic rings had been lit. I assume this was a temporary thing, due to Montreal being the site of the 1976 Olympic Games and will probably be extinguished in a few hours when the closing ceremonies conclude in Beijing. Still, it is definitely interesting to see. A closeup of the torch with the observation deck on the tower of the stadium in the background. A closeup of the rings, as seen from Pie-IX Boulevard, near Sherbrooke Street. The back of the rings, with the underside of the Olympic Torch behind it. The plaque located at the foot of the rings. The text reads: THE OLYMPIC RINGS The five rings emblem was designed in 1913 by Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the Modern Games, and was first used at the 1920 Antwerp Games. The five rings represent the five continents of the world, linked together to symbolize the sporting friendship of the world's population. THE GAMES OF THE XXIst OLYMPIAD From July 17 to August 1st, 1976, the Montreal Olympic Park was the principal site of the Games of the XXIst Olmypiad.
