Who has a bathroom with an electrical outlet in their shower?

Last week I shared a logo dating back to 1973 for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission that would never fly today for reasons so obvious and not worth going into.   On a more comical note, I thought I’d share a similar logo-failure.  Which do you notice first the restaurant or the unintended imagery?

This is an actual logo designed in 1973 for the Catholic Church’s Archdiocesan Youth Commission. It even won an award from the Art Directors Club of L.A.  Not sure what people were thinking, and all I can conclude is that people were far more innocent in 1973. This would never fly today.

I do feel like I am channeling a bit of Mean Girls by including this photo, but I thought this was so hilarious and his identity remains anonymous so a Mean Girl I must be… I went ahead and post the pic.

What this picture doesn’t share is that all the while his jeans kept dropping lower, he was chatting with me; either oblivious to the fact that a quarter moon was on the rise or not caring.

So here’s the bit that makes me go “hmm…”  I’m sure you’re familiar with the term Plumber’s Crack, but this gentleman is not a plumber. I initally wanted to say it’s Carpenter’s Crack since he’s installing carpet.  It even has a nice ring to it,  but we all know that a carpenter is someone who works with wood not carpet so what would you call this?

Holy Crap!

It’s bad enough the movie Jaws which was filmed not far from here gave me nightmares as a kid, but a jump in the seal population has brought Great White sharks back to the coastline of Cape Cod.

Swimmers in Cape Cod were allowed back into the water this past Sunday after a great white shark sighting closed a popular beach. The shark was spotted ~100 yards off Nauset Beach in Orleans. For those unfamiliar with the local geography, Orleans is not the next town over, but its close enough to Provincetown to make me queasy. Curious about this story you can read more here.

I saw this photo on my friend’s fb page and couldn’t resist pilfering it.

Not really sure what kind of person would ever want to be out in public with a “TV Hat”.  Seems like the kind of device a bad science fiction movie from 1960s would concoct. I can think of more than a few people who I wish would wear this contraption if only so I wouldn’t have to look at their face, but then that’s not such a nice thing to say so I won’t mention names.

We all see things that make us pause and think “Huh?”… The other day I was waiting in line to order a coffee at Starbucks, and I was thinking I should pick up a bag of coffee for home — that is until I saw the price, $14.99.  Hmm… that same exact bag sells across the street at my grocery store for $11.99.

Why is the most expensive place to buy a bag of Starbucks coffee at a Starbucks cafe?
