Frosty Old Book

 Good old pictures, with new comments about 'em.

$5000 for a used book? This Robert Frost guy must be popular or something. Some people might be thinking "only" $5000!? That's got an autograph and a hand-written note in there!




Only $500 for this old Bible. I'm not serious, but I had a funny thought that this would be the type of thing you'd look through to research some ancient supernatural thing.


Shopping tip! Ollie's has windshield wiper blades for super cheap! I got some for only $3.50 each, even the ones at Walmart are over twice that much. 


Garfield selling lasagna? That is epic synergy. He's been promoting that stuff for decades.


When was the last time you changed the air filter in your car? Don't remember? Neither did my friend. So we got a new one, and the old one here deserved a picture before we tossed it.


Have a couple of fun Hot Wheels pics. Glow in the Duck? Clever name. Because it glows in the... dark. And that other car is sure to win the race, it will be a piece of cake.


I don't think they ever called Captain Marvel's spaceship The Hoopty in the movie. Just had to get a picture of this Lego set on clearance for half-price, which was still too expensive.


I also got a picture of this Lego set at half price. This one I should have gotten, but passed on. What do you think? I should have grabbed this idol and ran away from the round boulder?


Construction scaffolding all over the ancient-looking buildings at the Princeton campus. Do you think they did this to Hogwarts after the final Harry Potter movie? Did the school get all wreaked up? Or did they just use magic to fix it?


Maybe this picture doesn't show it too well, but this grass was mega lime green. I think they make the seed spray colorful so you can clearly see where it was applied. But right now it looks very silly.


It's the construction class at Princeton! You gotta dig deep to get that A+.


This was the massive grass field where college kids would hang out and um... play. Did somebody want to make it a giant sand box or something?


The bike rack here has a maintenance spot. There's a thing to hang your bike up on, and tools to do stuff with. Neat. Some smart kid suggested this, probably.


Squishmallow Clue? I laughed at the thought that a Squishmallow would murder someone, but the back of the box says they just stole the Mac n' Cheese.


Is this joke funny enough to see all the time? I mean, it's funny enough to get a picture of, at least.


This bug was hanging on the door when we left for the day, and was still there when we got home! Lazy bug! Did it stay there all day, or did it leave and come back before we did?


Sure, let's mix up a bunch of stuff and give the flavor a name. Sea Monster? Is that good? I mean, the ice cream was good. An ice cream by any other name would taste just as good.


Eh, I've taken a picture of this spot before. This was during the summer while I was out riding the bike. It's a neat spot to take a break.


Another neat spot. It's crazy how calm the water is on top, and then the spot below is going nuts. It doesn't seem logical, but it's right in front of me, so it must be.


The trail tunnel under the street is usually super muddy and you wind up using the street anyway. This time it was not too bad.


It got a little worse at the exit. We have to keep the bike inside the apartment, so we really don't want to get it all muddy.


The guard rail was all mashed up! And there was some motor thing hung up on it. There's a story here, that we'll never know.


Insert a funny joke about that silly looking truck. Do we even need a joke? It looks so silly all on it's own! I suppose you have to admire the unique look, I mean... you can't possibly mistake it for something else. That's... something.


If it weren't for the wheels, it would look totally like a spaceship or something.


I wonder how much McDonald's spends on ketchup packets that are given out, and people don't use. Is it insane that the employees "don't care" about wasted ketchup packets, yet they squeeze the fry boxes to give you less fries? I'd much rather they not care about the fries (by filling the boxes all the way, I mean) than giving out the ketchup I won't use.


Perfect merchandise collaboration. Optimus Prime as a Target delivery truck, with a package that transforms into the mascot dog Bullseye! AND Optimus is throwing a red ball. You might recognize the giant red balls outside the doors to the Target store. Brilliant.


A subtle laugh when you notice there was no need for them to put a "Target Exclusive" sticker on the box. Duh. Obviously they won't sell this at a Walmart. Wait... is there a Walmart version like this? I'm not being coy, I seriously don't know.


I was trying to think why Scrooge McDuck looked so... evil. Then I realized his hat did not have the red band on it, it was all black. How did they miss the red band on the hat?


Another picture that didn't quite come out good enough. This sportscar was a very unique shade of red, but the picture doesn't capture that.


My friend has a funny finger cot story; when he saw one on the floor at work one day and thought it was something else.


You kinda can see the good special effect on this Halloween house. In the middle there, they used the reflected-light-on-a-mirror thing to have those ghosts in the room. The Haunted Mansion at Disney World has a much bigger version of that.


Isn't ALL Science Gay? I mean, why make it different? Oh, that just sounds bad. Hold on... I meant to say that Science is Science, and there should not be any difference. Am I being silly here? Hey, they named the book that.


The Boys is like anime. Where anime is like cartoons for adults, The Boys is like a super hero show, but for adults. Also like anime, it can also be a little cartoon-y, that's okay too.


Another brilliant merchandise thing. It's the flip-over card matching thing based on the movie Coco. Where the big music number was a song called "Remember Me." So you have to... remember... where the cards are? Get it? Yeah, cool.
