The Samsung Camera Never Lies: "School House Rock"

Though I'm a big fan of alternative rock and the occasional heavy metal, this isn't a tribute to Metallica, Coldplay, U2 or the Beatles. Not even Hoobastank, Creed, P.O.D., Kings of Leon or Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Although I have fond memories of this educational short clip while growing up, I'm not talking about this either. Ah, these were the days when TV did more than just rot your brains out.

Actually, this is about these damn, mysterious rocks I have always seen in front of elementary, middle and high schools. Usually not colleges. I guess it isn't cool when you're in college. But what is the fixation with kids, schools and these megaliths.

These rocks baffle me. I wonder if they have been placed there since the beginning of time (of the school) by some mysterious agent (P.T.A.) and what is their true purpose.

They are often painted with names celebrating birthdays, graduations, events or random details. And they're always covered in hypnotic, multi-colored paint. Their meaning is more elusive than trying to find good television shows on cable these days. More confusing than trying to keep up with rational thoughts in the current health debate. And more mysterious than the WMDs we never found in Iraq since 2001.

I remember that even this new school I saw going up over the summer already got a rock within the first week of opening. Isn't that a bit odd? Who decides that a rock is missing or needs to be at a particular school? I even wondered if the same guys that did the job at Stonehenge or on Easter Island had their hands in this.

These rocks do seem to come out of nowhere and their purpose is unknown. They remind me of some TV shows, a few politicians and Levi Johnston. Until I figure this out, I guess I'm stuck between a rock and a bad phase.

The Samsung Camera Never Lies: "Flipping Over Food"

I remember food being so good that I wanted to jump up and down or scream out random stuff like "Yippee!" or "Yum, Yum in my tum tum!". Sometimes, I actually did this. The screaming part that is. And now a random thought. I saw Kate from the Gosselin empire in an episode screaming out, "Popcorn! Come get your popcorn!" in a weird, high-pitched, shrieking voice. It kinda freaked me out by the way. But in a humorous, wth-like manner. I know the next question is, "But Dave, why do you watch it?" I'll save that for a later post.

Anyhow, I am yet to eat food that is so out-of-this-world amazing that it makes me want to flip over and turn upside down. I've tasted and eaten food from various parts of the world during my travels and life experiences so far. They have been awesome, perhaps even flipping great! But I never recall feeling to actually flip.

I saw this sign today. I wondered if they read my mind and was sending a subliminal message about how great their food was. Or was it just unique advertising. Our prices are so low, we've turned them upside-down!

 
 

Whatever it was, it certainly caught my attention. What are some weird signs you've seen while out or driving?

The Samsung Camera Never Lies: "Mum's Pansies?!?"

It's Fall once more. Great. This means colder weather and football nights. It also means Halloween, costumes, Snuggies, frost and pumpkins. As expected, these pumpkin farmers will also be coming to 'town' to market their harvest.

See, Brenda, I told you selling pumpkins would pay off some day.

         I know, Bartholomew. I just wish that 'day' didn't last for about a month each year, dear. Sigh.

Along with these sellers often come unique, interesting signs. I've begun to notice them all over as I drive. I suddenly noticed a field of pumpkins growing out of the parking lot next to Walmart the other day. Then another one three miles away next to a Chick-Fil-A. More interesting than the display of pumpkins are the signs displayed to sell them.

The Samsung Camera Never Lies: "Clown Car"

I haven't been to the circus since I was a little kid but seeing this sure brought back some memories.

I never got the chance to see a clown car or real clowns except on TV.

Who knew my luck would let me see a real-life clown car ON the highway?

I was disappointed when I didn’t see about 12 clowns in the window when I passed the car effortlessly yet I was still very much amused. If only you could have seen the big, strapping guy all choked up in the driver’s seat.
