Secure Destruction

Back with more random adventure pictures. Covid-19 era adventures include plain old shopping trips and bike rides.

We got a big thrill out of the text on the side of this truck. The Michael Bay Transformer movies are usually big messes, but they include clever uses of things like this text, and we were convinced this truck was going to change into a Decepticon robot and star destroying stuff.

Saw this crazy thing while browsing and... what? It's the opposite of a bobble head, it's a Bobble... Bottom? Shame on them for trying to sell this to kids! You want your little kid to emulate this behavior of shaking their bottom towards people? But Mommy, the toy was doing it! I does earn bonus points for being Minty-colored.

Laughed when we saw Bart Simpson's favorite type of flower. The Eye Caramba! Where's the Don't Have a Cow, Man?

I know they are flowers, but the vein patterns on these leaves were making my friend very uncomfortable. Such a strange effect from flowers, so lets get a picture to share.

Exploring new routes on the bicycle, came across a building with the plaque that says "New Enterprise Laboratory." Are they doing Star Trek stuff in there?

This road is pretty isolated and unused, but still not going to try to ride all the way down there without any kind of sidewalk or anything. We took the trail to the right instead.

The trail ended very shortly and we had to turn around. It's like they were planning on doing more in this direction but stopped. Always fun to see the "Wrong Way" signs on these street ramps. Normally if you see those signs you're in a lot of trouble!

Is this good engineering, or terrible engineering? Like, couldn't they have done the street a few feet over, to avoid this awkward circle cut out? Kinda neat though.

Lifetime Athletic. If your "Lifetime" doesn't include Saturday afternoons. Because this place was completely deserted on a Saturday afternoon. Unless this is a Covid thing. But that's your lifetime, too, so...

We did plan a lunch adventure to the Popeye's Chicken one weekend. We knew this place was over here but had never gone. It's a very odd double-building with both a Popeye's and a Burger King in it, but the drive thru was only for Burger King. Fortunately we could go inside and get the Popeye's to take out.

Do I need to plug the awesome Popeye's Chicken Sandwich? You know it's good. The closest Popeye's to us is in the mall which is currently closed, so the drive way out here was worth it for this treat.

Thought #1- This looks like the coolest Superman EVER!

Thought #2-What would Superman need armor for? Isn't he like, himself the armor? When he punches you, wouldn't he punch through the gauntlet?

Thought #3-Wait, if that armor is to protect him from his one weakness, Kryptonite, then... yes, this is now for sure the most awesome Superman ever.

That character known as "The Child" sure is a lot of Trouble! I'll take this opportunity to give praise to the dice-pop-bubble. Why is that not a thing used everywhere?

Have some chips with your burger. With these, your chips would taste better than your burger. Just skip the burger and have extra chips! Woah! Future science was supposed to have food in pill-form, so one step closer is having your food in chips-form?

I find it kind of fun that a video game educated me on art history, and I easily recognize the 36 Views of Mount Fuji painting by Katsushika Hokusai. Next to it is Starry Night, which we actually saw in the MoMA Museum in New York. So I guess there's also non-game learned history.

AHH!!! Get as much Taco Bell cheese as you want!!! Put this in your pocket and sneak it onto your meal the next time you are at a Taco Bell, and watch all the jealous customers wondering how you got so much cheeeeesssseeee!!!!

On a Sunday trip out to get White Castle, simple 4-sliders-no-cheese combo is $7. When we go to pay, we're told the car in front of us already paid for it! Free lunch? Not sure how to feel about that. Like, we don't need the charity, but happy to have gotten some still. I guess we'll just keep a look out for something that needs $7 and pay it forward. The car drove away before we could record anything about it, so we don't know who or why if there was any connection to be made.

This Farrah Fawcett POP! Figure is cool and all, but I'm sure you'd rather has the poster this is from. Also, gotta give props to the Funko people for hitting every single pop culture thing they can think of. This figure is from a POSTER. Yeah.

 As if you didn't need it spelled out for you, they done gone and spelled it out for you. "Faker John Cena". So he IS faking it! Wrestling is FAKE!

 I know these are special neon-colored Avenger figures in this series, but looking at the orange skin tone on this Captain America POP! Figure gave us a laugh thinking like, [Trump voice] this is the greatest Captain America figure ever! Everybody says so! But that "A" Needs to be changed to a "T" for Trump, and then the orange tone would match.

 Saw a few news stories about people shooting off illegal fireworks, and what, nobody thinks to look in the Target stores to see the massive displays selling them? Welcome to New Jersey! The funny part of the picture is the amazing awareness somebody had to place a fire extinguisher right next to this. Good job, whoever thought of that!

 The Squirrel Squad was a bit feisty this day. You'd think they'll learn that we have treats for all of them, so there's no need to chase each other away. Squirrels being squirrels, I guess. I think it's a little cute when the shy one that got chased away sneaks back for a treat.
