rose's random rambly writings

Here's a post I'd forgotten all about...
I wanted to show you some of the stuff on the somewhat weirder side I saw on my vacation this summer.
Even though it's been a while, and this post is really late, some of these things still make me laugh...
Top left: This is part of a poster advertising a waterworld just outside the city. I think if you're advertising for family friendly aqua fun, you might want to use something else than two older guys. Especially in that position, and with those looks on their faces!
Top right: A sign I saw while walking home one night. It says "Brown swimming pool". I don't know about you guys, but a brown swimming pool doesn't sound very tempting to me!
Bottom left: This one cracks me up every time. This is the side of a rather big building. The line you see is filled with spikey things to prevent birds from sitting on the line, shitting down the wall (a birdshit protector, if you will). The rest of the wall was completely clean, but right here... well you can see for yourself!
Bottom right: Mental pastilles. If I tried them? No, I didn't dare .

Top left: A sign on the entrance to a bakery. No fat dogs allowed, if they are wearing muzzles and chains.
Top right: Another sign. This one on the entrance to a clothes shop. It has the usual "No eating", "No smoking" and "No dogs" figures, but it was the last one that made me giggle. No farting! I went into the shop, and tried to promp just for the heck of it, but no luck .
Bottom left: This door has two adresses. I wonder if they get twice as much post...
Bottom right: Last but definitely not least - the scary child eating clown ! This stood outside a game hall. People strapped their poor kids to its tounge, put some money in a slot and it turned into this insane clown swing with a blinking nose! I bet there are tons of kids scarred for life after their vacation!

Is the answer Rob, Police Constable?

I couldn't decide whether to write something about "letting off steam" or "exhausting", so I'll just leave that up to you .

Ok, so I don't know much about make-up, but even I find this funny...

I mean - surely you would find something/one other than Dame Edna advertising your products when you're a posh make-up chain in Oslo?

In case you haven't heard of her - feast your eyes on this .

Tomorrow, I will once again be southbound. It's another business trip, but this time I'm taking the opportunity to visit my dad a couple of days first, so I won't be completely internet-less until Tuesday .

I just realized the other day that one of the persons working at the company I'm visiting is called Peter Griffin !
I'm not going to meet him, but I might make discreet inquiries of his office whereabouts just to see what he looks like.

Speaking of which - this is still funny, hoax or not:


For those of you unfamiliar with Peter Griffin, clicky.

...is this the future?
