Hallo Katze

hallo_katze.jpgIf you’re an elementary school girl looking to start a garage band with some of your friends, I have the perfect guitar for you. A local music store here in Plymouth is selling this very *cute* guitar, and if you thought it was already too good to be true, I hear this particular model also comes in pink.

Eavesdropping at the Green Line Cafe

by

This is another retro blog from my time in Philly. I was killing some time between appointments in a local cafe one day and overheard this snippet of a conversation:

Guy Drinking Coffee(to Guy with Skateboard): Are you a musician?

Guy with Skateboard: um…well…um…yeah…well…yeah…um…definitely. I’m definitely a musician. I mean, yeah.

GDC: cool…

GWS: yeah, I just bought a eukalele because I heard something George Harrison played that I liked.

GDC: that’s great…

GWS: So I’m learning that, you know.

GDC: cool, so what else do you play?

GWS: yeah, well…the only thing I have recorded is on the pan flute…

And this is where I had to bite my tongue to keep from snickering loud enough to be heard. Guy with Skateboard will be touring the Northeast with pan flute and eukalele in hand! Get your tickets now!

Kobayashi edges Chestnut in hot dog contest

by

chestnuthd.jpgYes, this is an actual headline on ESPN.com. For those of you wondering whatever became of my long lost cat, apparently she has turned up on Coney Island. Here is a picture of little Chestnut devouring a hot dog during the contest.

I thought the description of Chestnut was a bit inaccurate, though:

“…Chestnut, a 220-pound civil engineering student from San Jose, Calif., who set an American record by eating 50 hot dogs during a qualifying tournament in Las Vegas.”

She must be incognito or something. I’m pretty impressed about her setting the American record, though. I mean, 50 hot dogs. That’s a lot. I didn’t even know she ate hot dogs.

I remember being in a hot dog eating contest at a Phillies game once. It was “Dollar Dog Day” and a few of my friends and I decided to have an informal contest. I remember eating 6 hot dogs and winning the competition. My friend Josh declared me the wiener. Get it? hehe.

The Million Dollar Question…

by

…has been answered. See my last post comments for aforementioned question.

So my first assignment today was to design a flyer in Word for an attraction in the Devon/Cornwall/Plymouth area. After searching through various attraction I came across The BIG Sheep. The BIG Sheep is apparently a glorified petting zoo that happens to feature SHEEP RACES.

That’s right. Sheep racing around a track with little stuffed sheep strapped on as jockeys. Sheep must navigate the “Bo-Peep Bend” and the “Ewe Turn” along the track. There is also and indoor kids playroom called EWEtopia. In fact, the whole park seems to be an excuse for making many, many sheep puns. Though I must admit that I am greatly amused that such a place exists.

And for the record, no shepherd’s pie or lamb chops on the menu.
