7 Train Pervert

author: CC : New York, NY

This picture was taken Friday, May 5th on a Flushing bound 7 express at 9:45 PM. We were between 61st street and Junction when my mother nudged me and whispered that the man across from us had his genitalia out. Funny thing is that we all got on at Times Square and my friend and I acknowledged his presence because he was reading an Archie comic book (who reads those nowadays?) So I looked over and realized what he's been doing all this time. He was watching us from underneath his sunglasses, hoping that we'd notice. I took out my...

Creepy Baby

is it just me or is there something creepy about this? i realise that it is not exactly like the pointy teethed robotic dollies from barbarella, but it still gives me the shivers. i think it is because it is quite lifelike. freud defined the uncanny as being that which is alive but shouldn't be or that which is not alive but should be. nasty baby, creepy baby, watching me on the canalside. brrr!

Dangerous to Walk Around Brooklyn?

author: Jayne : Brooklyn, NY

In Canada, Queen Victoria’s birthday is an official holiday what usually closes with fireworks all over the city. Enjoying the view from my balcony, I found that those fireworks in the neighbouring schoolyard travelled rather horizontally. Dozens of kids were putting up a fight shooting each other with fireworks. After awhile the police showed up. However, they only stopped firing after the policeman got out of the car to take a closer look, and soon after he left a show went on….. I hope nobody hurt.

Monster Trucks

author: EvilGentleman : Montreal, QC

A couple of weekends ago, I wound up going to a monster truck show for the very first time. I had always considered such things to be the refuge of the redneck, so I had never gone before, but this was a group activity I was invited to with free tickets, and the family was interested, so off we went, to the Olympic Stadium. As the pre-show gets underway, the trucks are parked along the wall of the stadium getting ready. Also note the jet-car...
