Another Edition of 'Ho at Da Sto'

By popular request, here is another edition of "Ho at da Sto." This was captured (not very well) at Walmart recently. There was just way too much going to to get a good pic of this woman. She was completely stuffed in to her top – and coming out the top. The top was a midriff and the shorts were skimpy. She was quite a package.

Ho In Da Sto'

Another edition of Ho In Da Sto' features this customer of the Burger King we stopped at on the way to Starkville a couple of weeks ago. Forget where this was, but she's workin' the shoes.

Random Images ...

Saw a few peculiar signs around the Coast this weekend and wanted to share.

Selling points

The first is a marketing idea that hasn't quite caught on: telling the public that

 one

 of the main draws of your restaurant is that it features tables and chairs. Wow! Now, if that's your biggest selling point, that and the fact that you've bumped the thermostat, you might want to reconsider your offerings, or at least your marketing strategy.

Authorized representative

This sign was spotted in Long Beach. I'm not sure if this means the husband was henpecked and is now empowered to fully participate in the sale of a structure he lives in or what. Up to you to figure out.

Well, it is on the beach ...

The last one is also from Long Beach, and is probably just a ruse to attact attention. Well played.

Messin' with Chuck

We went to Chuck E. Cheese the other day for my great-nephew's 7th birthday. Nobody pays any attention to Chuck anymore. The kids either want to play or eat their pizza. They really don't want anything to do with the giant rat. I thought I'd get up there and give Chuck some company. I tried answering his phone, but since it was time to eat it was just a telemarketer calling.

Father's Day Love

Love can show up in mysterious ways, like this heart-shaped russet

potato at Winn-Dixie on

 Sunday. I hope somebody snapped it up as a great way to tell Dad they love him, along with a nice steak.

Watch Out for the

 Slow Children

Found this hand-painted sign today at the trailer park behind Walgreens. You can rent by the week or month. But don't go any faster than 5 MHP through there, whatever that is.

Romance in the Swamp

Sent in by Emotional Taxidermy's Astute Reader, Romance in the Swamp comes to us via Silver Springs, Florida. Go to any bar late on a Saturday night and I think you'll find we as a species aren't that far removed from our prehistoric brethren in the swamps. Thanks, Astute Reader – you know what I like!

Courtship

Breeding season is directly related to temperature and lasts six to eight weeks.

Courtship activities occur in three phases and serves to synchronize the breeding cycle of males and females.

Phase 1: Attracting members of the opposite sec by bellowing and headslapping.

Phase 2: Pair formation. Male and female touch each other's snout, produce a cough-like sound and swim together. This behavior signals non-aggressive intentions. At this point either partner may end the courtship with a series of bellows and growls and swim away. Generally females select the males. Once a pair is formed, courtship continues with sounds, snout touching, back rubbing, circling, bubble blowing and spewing water from the nostrils.

Phase 3: Copulation, which can last for 15 minutes and is repeated over several days.

Larger males and females have an extended breeding season. Larger females will mate first so that if smaller females mate at all it will be late in the breeding season at the end of the ovulation cycle. Nests of smaller females may contain many infertile or malformed eggs. Not all females nest in a given year. After courtship the males disperse and the females begin the task of preparing nests.

Fun at Sam's Club

Found an interesting box the other day during a trip to Sam's. Looks like the employees have been having a bit of fun.

The Lil' Red Wagon of DOOM! has cool flames on both sides. Also, the word "Red" is crossed out in pen and "Station" is written in above it. I love it when people have fun at work. Yay, Sam's Club employees!

Right In My Own Backyard

I've been wondering for several weeks now what the weird guy Claude across the street has been doing with the end of his new fence. He was finally gone, so my niece and I walked over to get a look.

As you can see, he has filled the end of his fence, the part facing the street, with lots of little figurines: a squirrel, a fox, an alien, birds and a birdhouse, etc. Couldn't resist the photo.
