Three Times a Lady?

I thought about just posting some rather bizarre photos today and ending with an exaggerated question mark,but decided just because I was confused was no reason to pass the confusion on. The regular readers know I have never claimed any fashion expertise but I really don't feel like this is actually fashion related. Fashion label GCDS featured models wearing prosthetic breasts so they appeared to have a third breast, either mimicking the "Total Recall" look or to reflects someone's dreams/nightmares. As I previously mentioned I don't have a single clue when it comes to "fashion". 
At this point you are on your own!

Shout It Out

Huutajat is a Finnish men's shouting choir who started in the late 1980s with 20 men dressed in black suits doing surprise performances in the Oulu region. The group has now become about 30 strong and is widely recognized as an art form. They perform national anthems,children's ditties,or international treaties. The group is conducted by their founder and can be heard doing complex rhythmic structures or simple but loud reading. They hope to one day perform at the White House.

Go In Peace

For animal lovers it can be difficult to enjoy meals containing meat even to the point of some people giving up meat in their diet. It bothered me to have to participate in the actual death like throwing a lobster in a pot of boiling water,though now a lobster can go to pot in a different and perhaps more humane way. Charlotte's Legendary Lobster Pound in Maine is owned by a registered medical marijuana caregiver and she decided to extend her practice/knowledge to the lobsters. She experimented by putting a lobster in a tank with only a few inches of water then blew smoke into the tank,as a result the lobster was calmer for several weeks. Scientists are looking into the matter to see if it has merit but meanwhile the state has asked  the owner halt the process while they investigate.

Public Service

Before I get started today I want to make it clear that I have nothing against marriage or partnerships though neither of the above have ever worked for me. An unlikely source of breakups a 28 year old Scottish comedian has hastened at least 4,000 splits (maybe more that weren't reported) all from a 20 minute routine he does. Done in a joking manner he explains how people are tricked into thinking they have a soulmate and that they aren't complete unless they have found their "one".  I've been trying to get this same message across to people who I've known to be in miserable relationships for many years though very few of them were secure enough with themselves to take the single plunge. Once the luxury of being single is experienced it would take something really special to make a person want to be part of a couple.

Bucket Overflow

For some reason I didn't realize that my bucket list was going to keep growing,I was under the illusion that I would eventually do everything on the list and that would be that,not so. Today I added yet another thing/place I want to see. The Museum of Illusions has opened this very day in NYC. There are around 100 exhibits  including dilemma games,optical illusions,holograms,brain teasers and stereo-grams to name a few. I hadn't planned another trip to NYC but that's okay because I really enjoy going there,it's a fun place with lots to see and do,now I just have to fit it into my busy schedule!

Apples and Oranges...Oh My!

As strange as some of the things that I come across are today's post rates near the top of that strangeness heap, and it didn't even happen in Florida. A 27 year old man in Virginia was arrested after an employee witnessed him pulling his pants down and rubbing produce on his bare butt and then replacing the items on the shelves. The man was charged with two misdemeanors,indecent exposure and destruction of property. The store had to destroy several pallets of produce which seems odd since the man was limited to what was on display at the time but I suppose this would be a case of better safe than sorry. I have no idea on the why of this mans actions unless it was some odd sexual thing though I find that hard to imagine and as most of you know I have a pretty vivid imagination.

Proctologist Post

Some folks just can't take a joke,for instance residents of Waynesville,Missouri feel that renaming the local paper "The Uranus Examiner" is in poor taste. The town of Uranus is already well known for their quirky attractions like the fudge shop and a giant belt buckle (no,I'm not kidding). The paper was formerly called The Daily Guide but the name change is the brainchild of the new editor who wants to create a fun paper that will attract tourists. I'm not sure about that name attracting anyone,but it is good for a chuckle.
I have jury duty later today so I decided to rearrange my schedule to get this post done early.
