white crayon

when i set up the category found white goods i didn’t expect to use it for a white crayon. i like crayons. i like how they have their colour written on the wrapper.
but white crayons ? most people use white paper, or have white on the backgrounds of their computer documents, so what use is a white crayon ? poor man’s correction fluid perhaps ?

vacancies

here’s some hand written signs from a non-chain hotel. they’ve got a room vacancy and job vacancy for a cleaner. perhaps it’s a very messy room.

sawn off bin

here is a most bizarre thing. rather than opening the flap of a lid on a wheely bin, someone has sawn round the top.
that’s a bit like using an old fashioned tin-opener on a can of coke.

Princess Kay of the Milky Way

here’s a very strange thing sent from regular reader Sarah. i can’t attempt to paraphrase her email, so here it is in full:
“I live in Minnesota and at our state fair there is a young woman who wins a contest and gets to be the princess of the dairy farmers. She’s called Princess Kay of the Milky Way. And one of the many honors that are bestowed on this young woman is the privilege of having a large block of butter carved into her likeness.
I took a picture of last year’s sculpture that sat in the cooler at the fair. Behind it sits this year’s Princess Kay of the Milky Way as she sits for the artist who is carving her Butterhead.
I love the Butterhead. I want to bite her nose. And, yes, the butterhead is wearing a tiara.”

two new pages 22 and 100

well, i thought they’d stopped doing the page numbers at paddington station, but it appears they haven’t. which is great news.
page 100 on the leftis a bog standard one, but inspect page 22, on the right, more closely (by giving it a gentle click).
big brother is not only watching us, but it’s watching them too.
