Spycam: Things You Forgot to Pack

Spycam recently found this creepy collection of eeeeeevilness at a cheerful family gift shoppe in Minocqua, WI. This is only the half of it. Literally.

Can someone tell me what in the world someone needs a wicked knife like THIS muthah for? Wait. I take it back. If you know, please don’t tell me. I have too active an imagination already.

On the other hand, we were intensely amused by the collection of baby axes. I ultimately dubbed the smallest one a “travel axe,” causing myself - and Sophzilla - to collapse into a lengthy paroxysm of helpless laughter. This did not exactly nestle us deeply in the heart of the shop owner, who was patently unamused at our finding her goods so hilarious.

Maybe you had to be there.

Note: The most mind-bending thing about this collection of sharp objects is that directly facing the display is a rack of cute ‘n fuzzy stuffed toy critters. So. Wrong.

Your Attention, Please

“The main thing is to pay attention, pay clear attention to everything you see.
Notice what no one else notices and you’ll know what no one else knows.”

Some Hmmm Fun

I don't usually go in for this kind of fortune cookie enter your birthdate stuff. But this one was actually kind of neat, giving more off-the-beaten-path info.

For example, I learned that my Native American Zodiac sign is the wolf, and my plant is the Plaintain.

Some of you will claim that last part isn't at all surprising, as you always thought I was kind of bananas.






Some less oooooh cool surprises were learning that I share my birthday with Erykah Badu and Michael Bolton. I claim similarity to neither of those parties, nor their hairdos.

Click here and see what you can see.

Competing Chapeaux

I know there are many people out there absolutely COVETING the infamous igloo hat. BUT I recently found some competitors for this amazing piece of headwear.

In the right corner, we have THE CHAMP!!!


But is the igloo hat any competition for our first CONTENDER - The Crown??????? After all, who doesn't want to be the Queen of all they survey? She Who Must Be Obeyed?






Don't speak too soon, because we also have the amazing, somewhat offensive and unabashedly phallic - ELEPHANT HAT!!!

So mirror, mirror on the wall, which is the most outrageous hat of all?
