Random Pictures Again

 Back to talk about the dirt on these pictures. 

In the McDonald's drive thru, enjoying the show. That other parking lot over there is getting wrecked! Speaking of wrecks, this McDonald's I'm at right now is also being wrecked. A week later it was closed but I heard it was going to be re-built in 5 or 6 months. Fortunately there are other McDonald's nearby I can still get to for lunches.

The power of social media! This Soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a very pro-healthy advocate, moved cola bottles away from him and proclaimed "Agua!.... no cola!" and Coca Cola stock dropped 1.6%. Turns out that number equals 4 BILLION dollars! He did not do it to hurt Coke, merely using the opportunity to point out that water is better for you. Did the stock people not know that Coca Cola also sells water?

Knock knock! Or should I say Chirp Chirp? I don't know what was up with this corner of the front door, but we saw a few of these cicadas there on different days. You think it was the same one? Was this his spot?

Oil Change! Waiting in the Honda Dealership. They also did the factory recall of the drive shafts, which is the exact part that broke recently. I think I can call a number to get reimbursed for those repairs now? I feel like pointing out this was the first place we went to where NONE of the employees were wearing masks anymore. If we are still keeping track of that sort of thing.

Seriously, what's with the "Plus"? Walmart+ now? How bout Minty+? When do we start ordering Big Mac+ or celebrating Christmas+ or combing my mane with a Brush+? This has been a comment+.

Busted! There is a toy collecting tactic called "The Stash" where you move items behind other items elsewhere to "hide" them until you can return to purchase them. We found these WWEternia figures behind some Lego sets. We smiled and left them where we found them, after posing for this picture, of course.

Party time! This year they decided to do a Summer Party at work. Um... okay! Who says no to a work party? Balloons are like the Movie Theatre Popcorn of part decorations; They are relatively inexpensive and produce a lot of decoration value. They had a machine to blow these up, can you imagine how exhausting that would be?!

Who knew? Behind the building, where nobody ever goes, there's like... a little field place. Check out this deco job! One of the employees did this whole thing.

Tent, check. Picnic tables, check. Table centerpieces also made by that employee who did the massive decoration job, check. We snuck out before the party started to get some pictures of the setup.

We almost forgot to take a picture of the food. It was a giant flat fried chicken thing, a sticky ball of white rice... and that was about it. There was some greasy soup, some dressing-less salad, and a cup of beans (I think they were beans) that we didn't eat. But who's going to complain about free food? The squashed chicken was good enough on it's own. 

Check it out! They kind of gave us all coupons for Six Flags! Remember when you had to bring the soda can to the park? Now you just need the code word from it. So... I guess you get a coupon, too!

There were picnic games to be played, like the sack race here. I blurred-out the faces to maintain the blog's anonymity, in case you were zooming in to check 'em out.

Ice cream time! Attacked like a pack of cartoon piranha fish, they disappeared almost instantly. Fun.

Tug of war between management and employees. Of course the management lost. Nobody did the whole "simultaneous let go of the rope so the other side falls down" bit.

After work, while getting jalapenos for the weekend nachos, we took a picture of these pineapples. Because at the party we had a fun conversation about the pineapples in the table centerpiece display and how we didn't really know how to eat one. Sure we love the pineapple flavor, but have never really had a real one and ate it, however that happens.

The new Skeletor figure from the recent He-Man series, called himself... Skelegod? Looks like he comes with He-Man's Power Sword, and um... why does he have a face on his um... belt... area...?

Lego soooo wants their Brickheadz series to be like POP! Figures. They keep making them, so... maybe? Anyway, saw these DuckTales figures and was oddly reminded about the old Nintendo game.

Here's Lego's take on the Chevy Corvette. Looks cool but they make you buy it along with another car you probably don't want, so they can charge more for it. Classic Lego sales tactic.

Recently they removed the laser rifle from the robot Hot Wheels cars, like the one on the right. So we were surprised to see the rifle back on the Super Rigs set over there on the left. Do you even need to ask why they would remove a gun from a car?

Squirrels in Magic: The Gathering? My friend tells me that's a classic long-running theme. I wonder if there are any "Treats" cards for us to give them?

Hey... C'mon kids, stop making fun of Sailor Uranus. That's a legit planet name. Kids can be so cruel, y'know.

This plushie Mandrake Root was having a fit posing for this picture! It was plenty funny though. Worth it.

If it's on the table, is it still a Book of Holding? Or only when you pick it up?

Guess when we took this picture? June 19th, of course. It was made into a Federal Holiday just days prior, but I bet Barnes and Noble had already planned to have this display up anyway.
