This summer, I came across one or two things that really made me scratch my head (no, it wasn’t lice). Today, I thought I’d compile a few of those images that have hung out in my head (and my camera’s photo storage).
I’m used to finding four leaf clovers in my parents’ front yard. There’s been a patch of them growing in the yard my entire life. But I don’t recall seeing too many five leaf clovers in my time. A rarity for me, definitely.
They SAY it’s a real potato. I don’t even know. But when Brian and I went to Irish Fest, this big hunk of carbohydrate was begging for a photo.
Is this a thing? Are pot trees real? Because the parking lot of our California motel/hotel/lodge/whatever sure smelled like weed. And those leaves looked awfully ominous.
When I head off to GenCon every year, I expect to encounter some strange sights. You might say I even plan for it. But usually, I’m ready for it inside the convention hall and surrounding areas. I’m not expecting it before I even get to Indianapolis.
As we were driving, I looked to my right and saw a dog. Holding court out the sunroof of a car driving approximately 70 mph. He reminded me of Marmaduke, in that I imagined cartoonish racing lines behind him.
Of course, once we made it to Indianapolis, our unique view of the world wasn’t a blank canvas. That shit was covered in sparkles.
Now, that’s a horse of a different color! If I were a horse, or had a horse, I’d totally want pink sparkle shoes. Who am I kidding. I totally want pink sparkle shoes now.
I’d like to say that outside of the actual con, this was the extent of the strange…but we managed to see another amusing visual.
Brian kept asking why there was an Angry Bird in the back of the cop car, so I explained to him that it was actually a bad piggy…I’m not sure if it was the cop’s own joke or a gag gift from a friend. Either way. Oy vey.

LOL love the Angry Birds piggy.
Btw…on the pot tree….I’m pretty sure that’s a Japanese Maple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_palmatum
Well doesn’t that just make perfect sense?! I suppose the pot was from all the people who kept sneaking to the parking lot to smoke up.
Speaking of pot….apparently someone new moved in below me and they like to smoke on their balcony. Makes my relaxing Sunday coffee super relaxing 😉
Lucky you! (Not sure your opinion, but I’d totally hate it. LOL)
It’s annoying sometimes but I don’t really care. I’ll take it over good old cigarette smoke. That just grosses me out.
Understandable. I agree.
I’m having trouble believing that potato is real…
Meeee too.
I thought it was a Japanese Maple too. Then I looked very close, and hmmmm…looks like a pot tree to me! Those Califorians, so high they created a tree to adore.
The clovers are back to three. Must be the spring ones are 4 leafed. I found at least 7 this year.
Right?!
Bummer. I bet I could find a four leafer. I found at least 10 and I don’t even live there!
I love the horses pink sparkle shoes! And is that potato really real?? That’s crazy!
The shoes are so cute! I really want a horse with party toes!
And I still don’t trust that potato…
Pretty sure this confirms that my life is mundane and boring, OR that I have my eyes closed. Those are a LOT of bizarre things to see in a few short months!
Just keep your eyes peeled and your camera phone on. This crazy shit pops up on a pretty regular basis around me!
A 5 leaf clover must be extra lucky!
Definitely!
That was one big ass potato! Mmmm…..tater tots!
That’s a lot of tots!
I am enamored by that potato. It’s like James and the Giant Peach, except more carby.
I could have floated away in it?! I missed my chance! I bet it would have taken me to…um…Ireland. Right?
