NYC Torture Stores

Shopping in New York City! While shopping online has it's charms, there's nothing quite like seeing things in person. I guess you are looking at the pictures we took um, online, so... it's not the same thing? But we were there, so enjoy the pictures.

You either have no idea what this means, or this is the coolest shirt you've ever seen. From Game of Thrones; a particular hero saves the day by holding a door, for like, his entire life. Cool shirts like this available in the HBO store.

Ducking Quest

The fun quest of the day was to see if we could find the crazy Mandarin Duck in Central Park, and get a picture. If you don't know about this yet, recently this duck showed up in New York City. It's not any type of species that's native to anywhere in America, so how did it wind up here? It hasn't quite reached epic viral attention yet, but it's somewhat of a celebrity, and just the type of silly thing we like to get excited about.

Here's the map of Central Park. I'd point out all the flaws in the quest but that might spoil the ending... It's a pretty big park, we are looking for one single duck, and by the time we got there, there was only an hour or so before sunset. Just don't want to get anypony's hopes up.

Fall Walking

Bored on a weekend, heading into "The City" to walk around for a while. So it's a good chance we'll get some pictures to share.

Passing by this train station; If this town has a local college, it would be Metuchen University, or Metuchen U. When you say that out loud, it sounds like everytime you tell somepony where you went to college, expect them to yell for a security guard.

Mysterious Space Jacket

Ah, old Sci-Fi TV shows. There's just something imaginationally comfy about those shows. Today's Sci-Fi seems a little too dark and gritty. Can we get back to the happy fun space style?

So we were watching this old episode of Buck Rogers in the 24th Century, and James Sloyan guest stared in it. He would later go on to play memorable roles in Star Trek so we were excited to see him. In the episode, We casually noticed he was wearing a very cool looking rogue outfit. Buck Rogers did tend to have a neat art style throughout.

Last New Hope for now

One more bunch of pictures from our afternoon walking around new hope.

Are those red lights on the trees over there part of Halloween decorations? You can see them reflected in the water. We didn't really want to wait until sunset to see how cool they would have looked.

New Hope Solo

New Hope! We've visited before but it's been a while since we went, so we... went. And took a bunch of pictures to share. 

If you don't remember, we park the car in Lambertville, New Jersey, and then walk across the bridge into New Hope, Pennsylvania. And if you're a tourist, you stop for the photo op on this line on the bridge.

Inspiration

This blog started with an inspiration to share fun moments for somepony who was, and still is I hope, very dear to my friend. It grew into a comforting hobby to share fun moments with anypony who cared to look. We hope there's somepony out there who would still enjoy to share some fun moments with us.

Why would we take a picture of a floor tile? This tile came from a bathroom where it had come loose from the rest of the floor. Every time you stepped on it, which was often because it was right in the middle of the floor, it would stick to your foot and promptly fall off. Clink! It was annoying, but also a little funny. Kick it back into it's spot, ready to do it again. Why didn't anypony glue it down? Clink! Again. For years. The tile never broke, nor did anypony glue it down for good. When the bathroom was due to be renovated, we kept this lone tile to remind us of all the fun times we had. Just goes to show how something seemingly worthless can be precious. Some ponies would say it's just a stupid tile, throw it away.

Sorry for the cryptic ramblings. Click on the "Read more" below there's actual funny pictures there.

Hightstown Halloween 2018

Upon recommendation, My friend took his girls over to nearby Hightstown to roam around and get some Halloween fun. By "girls" I mean Minty and Lucille. Do you have to ask who Lucille is? That's part of the costume!

It's amazing how much cheer a leather jacket and a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire can generate. We couldn't go more than a few minutes without somepony yelling "NEGAN!" happily. It was really quite uplifting.

No tricks, we got picture treats! Click on the "Read more" below!

Halloween 2018 part 2

More pictures of Halloween shopping adventures. So we kind of backed-up the picture posting and these are up after Halloween. Kind of like the reverse of when stores get in the holiday merchandise months ahead of the date, but I guess these are only a few days late. Anyway... Enjoy the extended spookiness.

Zombie store? A lot of old Toys R Us store locations were resurrected into pop-up Spirit Halloween Stores. So, like, the happy toy store is now a ghoulish version of it's former self. It felt a little cool being able to sneak back into those places for a little bit.
