Columbus Flea Market part 2

I took a short pause to post up those Halloween pics so they would be more relevant, but here's the 2nd of 3 batches of pictures from our adventure day out to the Columbus Flea Market. Good 'ole fashion treasure hunting.

This building is in rather good condition considering it's a flea market. Usually these things are just glorified wooden shacks. Is that the difference between one good coat of paint and some bright lights? Let's see if we can um... see... some fun stuff!

Yabba-Dabba-DOOO! Was I not paying attention to the cartoon, or has the steering wheel always been on the passenger side?

It's a Merry-Go-Nowhere Pony!

Took a picture of this sign for my friend, who shall remain nameless. Also funny to think, are they liquifying my groceries?

Brain: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Pinky: Whoof, oh, I'd have to say the odds of that are terribly slim, Brain.

Brain: True.

Pinky: I mean, really, when have I ever been pondering what you've been pondering?

Brain: To my knowledge, never.

Pinky: Exactly. So, What are the chances that this time, I'm pondering what you're pondering?

Brain: Next to nil.

Pinky: Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking, too.

Brain: Therefore... you ARE pondering what I'm pondering!

Pinky: Poit! I guess I AM!

As soon as we saw this adorable floppy-eared bunny, two girls ran up and started saying things like "we are totally taking this home with us, no matter what!" So I hope it enjoys it's new home, you adorable thing!

MGM Studios new mascot in the modern age: the Lionhead Rabbit. Your movie starts up with little nibble noises instead of the big roar.

Giant Lizard at a flea market? Check! You at a flea market!

My friend plays a lot of Call of Duty, but still cannot imagine the type of person who would want this poster in their room. Fruit of Doom? I mean, yes it does look like a pineapple, but still this is a little disturbing. Maybe the point is to hang it on your wall so that visitors will think you are a psycho. If that's what you want.

These are military "Challenge Coins" used in some kind of game to get free drinks at bars. Usually these are given to you, so I think buying them like this okay if you just want to collect them, but "cheating" for the game. Or maybe it's not, I don't know. Carry a bunch in your pocket and let me know if you find out.

Here's one of the main reasons to travel out to this place, the Amish Food Market. Everybody knows it, because this area was packed with non-social-distanced people. When the Covid restrictions are over, this is where we'll get some good lunches.

We thought we'd get the good pulled pork sandwiched in this barbeque area, but looks like it's not on the menu today. Still, the BBQ they had looked tasty. Wearing the mask, we could not get the "good smells" we knew must exist here.

We overheard several people complaining that they ran out of ribs. It was late afternoon at this point so that's not too surprising. I thought we took more pictures of the food, but I guess not. It was kind of crowded in there so we didn't stay for long.

Awwwww yeah. Moving on to the sweets shop. Is it awesome, or torture, to see all these tasty pictures?

Yes. All of that. The whole thing. That's what my inner voice is screaming right now.

Pumpkin Spice Candy Corn? Why did they have to ruin it? Haha I know there are people who can't get enough Pumpkin Spice.

Seeing this picture and writing this caption, I now remember we were probably going to buy some of these. But like a little kid, we got distracted and then the thought just went away. Is that a candy thing?

What a bizarre treat. You think the kids who drink Kool Aid would just be fine with that as a beverage and get candy with a different flavor. OH YEAH!

Another Minty green and pink combo colored unicorn. Yeah, I'm not eating my um... whatever you are serving.

All Luigi, no Mario! There's no empty spots to assume Mario sold out and all that's left is Luigi. This is on purpose. Mama mia! 

WHY ARE THEY STILL SELLING CANDY CIGARETTES IN THE YEAR 2020???!!!! AAAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!! Seriously though, really?

Cotton Candy Rock Candy. Sounds like a song title. These looked pretty cool, and also pretty tasty. Am I writing song lyrics? What's happening?

Is "Gummi Bears" a brand name? Or is it like a food type name? I don't know. Orange cream sounded yummi though.

That was the end of the long building. A short walk across the parking lot to the other building over here where the fresh produce is. Here's some taters. What's taters? You know... Po...Ta... Tos.

Look at all this food! This is the type of economics that makes my brain hurt. How do you sell all of this? That's gotta be complicated. You know, just buy what you want to eat and don't worry about all that.

Here's a.... bunch... of grapes. A bunch of bunches. Place them on your table and then paint a painting of them. That's what grapes are for, right?

Oh, bother! It's fun that they can get away with the celebrity endorsement from Winnie the Pooh. That guy knows his honey!

My friend does not like seafood but took this picture anyway, just in case other people who do like seafood would appreciate it. Is $16 per pound a good price? That sounds expensive.

Is it awkward to notice that this would be the future of businesses in an extended pandemic, with the open outdoorsy structures? Could you imagine like a giant Walmart like this?

Jalapenos were $1.50 per pound. That's ten times less than the crab legs. Hmmm... one pound of crab legs or nearly eleven pounds of jalapenos? That's a lot of nachos!

Looking back across the parking lot to see the building over there. That's not all of the flea market, we have yet to visit all of the tables set up outside!

As we walked back over, we saw this pet parent license plate of "The Boys!" That's some small text for a license plate, and when could you get exclamation marks? Is this street-legal?

Past the produce building is this giant plant nursery. We didn't feel like walking through that because it was already late enough and we wanted to see the tables outside.

Typical of giant flea markets is a ton of extra tables for when it get super busy. The more common table area is on the other side of the building. Still kind of cool to just see this sort of thing. There's one more group of pictures to be seen here, stay tuned!
