Strange Brew

As they used to say on the opening of the Monty Python Show,
"And now for something completely different"



Don't they all?



Women are quite capable of holding two opposing, equally brilliant, ideas at the same time.



Speaking of pythons, how about a rattlesnake suitcase?  I wonder if that's made of snakeskin or if it's for carrying rattlesnakes? 
Best not to find out.




A skull and crossbones is no longer politically correct; it's been updated to skull and skateboards.




Tit for tat?




Again, speaking of the Pythons, is that Eric Clapton or Michael Palin on guitar?!

  2. Saj,
    You're first up to the comment bar (and may well be the only one...) so you get a pint of brewski. You can drink it after or with your Sauvignon, as you like.

    I'm not sure it's a guitar, in fact; it may be a styrofoam fake. And whoever the impostor is, he's clearly lip-synching to a different song. But Ginger Baker's cape is quite an impressive sartorial statement, don't you think? I suspect it was his beach towel.

  4. Gypsywoman,
    Excellent timing for "bellying up to the bar" (as my Dad used to say)--just in time to get a pint before the barkeep closes up for the afternoon. Here's looking at you, kid!

  5. Looks like "Ingrid" gave that soloist one of her home perms.

  6. Looks like someone we know has been drinking some strange brew, and it's gone straight to her head, and now she's having psychedelic visions of a bygone age... my goodness, what on earth happened ??? Were the mushrooms on the pizza you had for lunch from the supermarket or from the wild western woods ???

    Hmmm, was just getting ready to have some white wine with a salmon dinner, will raise a glass to you, and your strange brew here...

  7. BrO,
    Glad to see you surfaced from being face-down in the cherry blossoms on the post below. So that pink stuff all over your face is salmon and not cherry blossom wine sediment? I am relieved to hear that. Though you might want to chew a little more tidily...and be sure to watch out for bones in that salmon when you're swilling it down with the white wine.

    I am a mere recorder of sights seen on the streets of Lotus Land. No mushrooms, sugar cubes, or Kool-Aid was consumed in order to enhance the images.

  8. Shirl,
    I love your cross-over blogs comment! I think you're right...or maybe that's Ingrid on guitar!?

  9. Concerned people everywhere are relieved to know that this was purely a case of objective reporting on certain colorful phenomena, and that no other conclusions concerning the mental state of the reporter should or could be construed...

  10. BrOwen,
    I would reply but I can't seem to move my tongue...and the walls are melting...as my universe rapidly expands and wheels outward with exploding

  11. Michael Palin, definitely!

  12. I loved the commentary on the first two so much, the rest barely registered. I'll need to come back for them later; no doubt by then the question will have been answered to everybody's satisfaction.

  13. You have some really cool content here! I have a great fondness for both street and tattoo art. I'd like to have the lady with the bubbles in my entryway! I wonder if the bubbles light up?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Such fascinating sights on the streets. I love 'The Man Who Knows'. Such finely drawn eyebrows!

  15. Sharmon,
    I know! It's uncanny! I must say, Eric Clapton seems to have improved with age...not so sure about Michael Palin, though I do love that twinkle in his eyes.

  16. m,
    The captions for the first two, I must admit, definitly stem from my own observations/experiences.

  17. Stickup Artist,
    The mind boggles at what sort of an entrance way you must have to your home if you feel the lady with the big ideas would be appropriate! But it boggles in the best possible way. I'm sure her thought bubbles could be rigged to light up for her especially brilliant ideas...but then, aren't they all? I thought you might enjoy the tattoo poster in particular...glad you like the rest as well!

  18. nouvelles couleurs,
    Wow! Here you are hanging out on the streets of Vancouver! Quelle belle surprise! I'm happy you're enjoying the street art.

  19. Madame DeFarge,
    So it's not the ayes but the eyebrows that have it this time!

  20. love that skull - so mexican - am surrounded by those images - Greetings from Mexico...

  21. I know that neither the blogger nor the bloggees live under that blanket of the psychedelic neige d'antan, but how could we not love that "yellow submarine" tattoo skull and the Cream?! I remember where I watched Easy Rider for the first time! Too cool, Lynne! Love, me

  22. I particularly like the woman blowing glass balls out of her ears xx

  23. Catherine,
    Yes, Mexican--I hadn't looked at it in that light but it's so true. Buddhists and Mexicans putting a positive spin on death. Om-Olé! Oh, yes, and tatto artists--Ouch!

  24. Margaret,
    Yes, flashbacks do happen in the streets of Vancouver!
    I tried to watch Easy Rider on TV recently but gave up. I find it best not to rewatch films I thought were brilliant when I first saw them in the 1960s or 70s.

  25. Lulu LaBonne,
    I'm not surprised that you appreciate a ballsy woman.

  26. Isn't that strange - we have both left comments on each other's blogs that disappeared - I wrote here last week and now its gone!!!

  27. Catherine, Margaret, Lulu--

    Blogger turned into Gobbler last week and ate my responses to you, as well as Lulu's original to me!
    But I assure you, what I had to say to each of you was absolutely brilliant and terribly amusing! Guess you'll just have to take my word for it. Oh wait a minute, Blogger already did that.
    :-)
