I like the place, but some weird stuff goes down here. Like take yesterday, for instance. I went with Michelle to a work party. The theme, honest to God, was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and all attendees were invited to dress up as their favorite kind of candy (or to somehow fall into the candy theme). It's not like she works in a candy store, either. She works in a group home for troubled kids. There was a lady dressed like cotton candy (see below), a guy that was meant to be an M&M, a woman dressed like Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp style, not original), some guy (her boss) was King Candy (apparently from the Candyland game). I was wearing brown, so I claimed to be a tootsie roll just to win some free candy.
The people there were all very nice. Just weird.
A few other strange things...Nothing all that weird, just things I see along the way. The photos are below. Now, again, none of these things are all that weird, but rather images that just beg for a story to be told that describes their provenance. Like, for instance, the photo below that contains a pumpkin and a Christmas tree stand. Here's what I'd like to know:
--Why is the pumpkin so fresh and new looking?
--Why hasn't it spoiled at all since Halloween (presumably when it was purchased)?
--Why have these people had the pumpkin so long?
--Why choose to throw it away today?
--Why are they also throwing away a Christmas tree stand? And why now? (isn't it weird that it would have become useless since last Christmas?)
I guess that it's not that weird, but it just struck me....One of those everyday things that I'd just like to know the story behind.
The other thing begs fewer questions, but probably has some sort of drunken story behind it. Why a cupcake atop a small pillar? Who put it there? Was the cupcake that bad?
That's all for now. Tomorrow I'm on the road again, heading back Jersey way.
Be well.
