Avian Flu Practical Joke
I didn't have a glass of water here, and was thankful for that after witnessing Bird pull this unsanitary fast one. I doubt that water jugs like this are scrubbed with as much soapy and hot water fervor as plates and forks. You wouldn't think the need to. Until seeing this.
This Graffiti Gets a Gold Star
On the whole, I don't condone graffiti except in cases like Benjamin Herson and Jeff Deck. However, the below form of graffiti is quite acceptable, friendly and welcoming by saying "Hello from California". It was written along a hiking trail in a wall formed by what's left of the 47 feet of snow that fell in Whistler last winter and will likely disappear over the course of the next few days as the snow melts.
Engrish Sushi Menu
I think translations are one of the best sources of humour. Here's a snapshot from a local sushi menu. There's so much I just don't know where to begin.... the weird capitalizations, the incorrect punctuation, the spelling mistakes. Most entertaining is the word "lettuce"; at least the translator was consistent in their inconsistency of spelling it:
Why You Shouldn’t Fall Asleep in Public
There's an empty bag of Tostidos and bottle of Gatorade on the table beside the guy having a snoozefest in this screened tent. Aren't a bunch of tortilla chip carbohydrates and sport drink electrolytes supposed to give you energy ?
This look is the reason I try not to fall asleep when on public display.
And the Silly Awards of the BC Highland Games Go To…
This guy in the green kilt who showed his friends something obviously hilarious. At least his green kilt wasn't lifted when he got that reaction from his pals:
This most mis-matched couple dancing a Scottish reel. It was a crowd-participation moment so you can easily identify here who's teaching who. I stick my tongue out too when I'm concentrating:
These two guys for doing a facepalm in a kilt:
This child for becoming so upset from reading the festival programme. I had the same internal reaction upon realizing no food booths were peddling the haggis I'd long awaited for:
This guy for being unable to restrain himself from paying homage to World Cup 2010:
To #2 in line here for illustrating how hard it must be to blow into a set of bagpipes. Or for having a look of the worst case of indigestion ever. Maybe it's a good thing there wasn't any haggis around afterall:
Up the Creek With a Paddle
This is a dude kayaking with a stylin hat, earphones, and a facial expression that is a product of listening to some tunes I assume. He reminds me of Otto, the bus driver from The Simpsons.
Deflating the Fun
Inflatable structures like the yellow one above that are brought to life by an air compressor and flop around in the breeze seem to be the fad these days among local businesses as a way of getting the attention of passersby. It worked for this martial arts place, but got our attention not in the way I'm sure the business owner intended; we stopped to take pictures of mimicry. As we left the scene somebody came out from the building with purpose and pulled the plug on the inflatable man, who promptly became the deflatable man:
Belly Up to the Bar
One has to be mindful of the establishment they're in before they order a beverage like the one listed on the bottom of this specials board. I can only imagine the different versions that could be delivered to the table.
