Flashback: Gas is $2 and we ran out of 2’s

Back in 2005 when I first posted this picture on my blog it was funny. The gas station owner has to raise the price of gasoline he ran out of the number “2″ and had to improvise using an upside down “5″. Now with gas in the upper 3 dollar to 4 dollar range…it’s a little funny, but mostly sad.

Ultrasound with image of Jesus or Madonna?

From Fox News, Cleveland, Ohio Monday, 28 Apr 2008:

A Lorain, Ohio, woman got an ultrasound in preparation for her first baby, but instead of seeing the image of an infant, Monet Sledge saw an image of Jesus on the cross.

Back in 1998 when Madonna was expecting here first child, I made the jokewallpaper above on how Madonna’s ultrasound might look.

Only in Los Angeles From Other Blogs

In past post I have shared my Only in Los Angeles Moments including a bus sign that encourages Los Angelinos not to shoot guns in the air on the holidays and vending machines that have no Coke or Pepsi but only water.

I thought they’re might be other such moments and through Google I found these two posts:

From Schindermania! a post that shows a picture of a dog with googles in a Smart car….

And from Candy Kirby a whiteboard street sign that offers a “Perky Butt” for $109….

Stop by the Strip Mall, Check your Paternity

I was visiting suburban Cincinnati recently and while driving by a strip mall noticed this sign. 

When I think of DNA testing I think more  of the criminal forensic technology of TV shows like CSI or NCIS. Or DNA paternity testing on the afternoon TV soap operas.  I just assumed the cops took DNA to some lab, and if you needed to know who your Daddy Papa was, you visited your doctor and he arranged the tests. I was surprised at storefront DNA testing in a strip mall.  Was it franchised? Would they have a drive thru? Perhaps a #1 Value Deal would be a specimen jar and cotton swab. I drove around and found the lab was actually behind the strip mall in an office building. Not a storefront after all.  But not a sign you see everyday, if ever.  Click here for a larger version.

Head Implant in Spain

I love my Apple Macbook Pro.  I like playing around with the Apple program Photo Booth.  That’s how I created this goofy picture of myself.  It’s how I might look if I got a two inch head implant that Dr Luis de la Cruz is doing in Spain. 

Here’s the full story…..

Beached Whale Spotted In Mexico

While visiting Mexico after we set up our towels, sun umbrella, etc. this became our view.  Click here for the full size version.  By the way, this picture is not re-touched.  The ocean in Cozumel is really that blue. Had a great time on a true off-road 4×4 Jeep excursion.
