Flippant Friday: A stroll around town

[sabotabby]

Okay, guys, it's another photo-dump. But considering that there was talk about a "photograph your commute home" meme the other day, I don't think anyone should complain.



If you can't read the tiny type, this is the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. Mostly staffed by well-intentioned people, often late with disability and welfare cheques. I think someone got sick of waiting.


I was just going to e-mail this one to annaotto, but I thought some of you might also find it amusing.


Someone decided to re-enact Pacman using a Big Mac and the streetcar shelter. The buns are squishy enough that they stick to the glass.


It's mean to make fun of restaurants that don't employ copy-editors, and besides, that's part of their charm. I actually think this is really awesome, because it isn't a menu...


...it's a giant (and very informative) poster. And if that wasn't good enough, this place used to be a McDonald's. Now it's a Korean BBQ joint. There's probably not much on the menu that I can eat, but I feel like I should check it out just on principle. We're so used to seeing American chains take over cool independent establishments that it's great to see the opposite happen.

Finally, since I know that half of you only read my blog to see Marinetti:


Here he is, bathed in angelic light. About five minutes later he decided to pick a fight with L., sleeping peacefully on my bed. What a wanker.

On the back door of my building there is a sign reading:

I am a nail and I will poke you in the butt if you are not careful.

It's actually a sharp wood screw, but it's still funny.

Someone should make a book of weird signs about town if it hasn't been done already.

Marinetti is fuzzy. I love him!

More pics of fuzzy Marinetti! Please!

[sabotabby]

There shall be video of fuzzy Marinetti within the next few days if all goes well.

Oh cool.

[sabotabby]

Maybe tonight if I can get the thing to upload to YouTube.

And if that wasn't good enough, this place used to be a McDonald's. Now it's a Korean BBQ joint.

I had lunch there on my birthday when we were in Toronto. It was good, and the prices compared very favorably to the many Korean places in my neighborhood.

How're the vegetarian options?

That's a great photo of the smashed up welfare office door.

Mind if I share it with OCAP? I think it would go nicely on the new OCAP Blog (which I guess is less 'official' and hopefully a little less serious than the OCAP website). If they do want to put it up, would you like to be credited? Yr name or Sabotabby?

[sabotabby]

I was thinking of doing a largeish version on nice paper and donating it to the OCAP art auction. But yeah, feel free to put it up on the blog. (Either name is good, really.)

[retinal-strain.livejournal.com]

That would be a nice poster, you should do it. I'll pass the photo along with credit to the OCAP bloggers.

Aw. Marinetti! You can stay on my f'list for another week.

I like the Korean lesson on the history of dishes.

[sabotabby]

Yay! I should post more pictures of him, really, because he is unbearably cute.

You're right: Marinetti is definitely the main attraction in this photodump.

[sabotabby]

He's the main attraction in my life.

---> "Complain to someone who can help you."

Should read: "Complain to someone who can ACTUALLY help you, and will listen no matter how much you bitch about your bunions, co-workers, spouse, children, and the cat puke you stepped in when you woke up in the morning. We'll convince you that the world really isn't trying to eat you alive.... ... ... or at least, we'll try reeeeeeeeal hard!"

Mine is a lot wordier... but that's what I thought of when I saw that picture! LMAO.

Love the broken glass door- so if you lean on it, will you get your cheque faster? *wonders*

Marinetti is cute. He's a cat- that fookin' defines cute. (Even if he is a wanker. *snicker*).

*GLOMP*

I'm still not convinced that the world isn't trying to eat me alive. At least I have an awesome cat, though.

[andreazenith.livejournal.com]

Yea, me either. LMAO.

And I totally second that. =*^.^*= Yay for awesome cats!

[esizzle.livejournal.com]

I love kitty pr0n. thanks this makes my day :)

[sabotabby]

Any time. It's just a shameless attempt at getting more comments.

**scritches Marinetti**

[sabotabby]

You'll only encourage him.
