Weird and peculiar clippings from newspapers and magazines, and other interesting stuff collected over the years by Crawford.
She may make you splatter on her platter.
Interesting placement of the pie.
Maybe if you don’t dig too deep?
Creepiest album cover ever.
False advertising.
Odd way to honor Red Nose Day.
The first aid creme was victorious!
At first glance, this LP cover appears to be showcasing something other than his guitar.
Well, she did build her nest in a tree……
My favorite text message conversation of all time.
From the produce department in an Asian grocery store.
This came up on my phone.
I can’t help but wonder how many mishaps occurred before the pool owners were compelled to purchase and post this sign. And just exactly how persistent is this problem to merit the manufacture of a sign in the first place? (Also, inactive diarrhea sounds inherently worse than active diarrhea.)
This is the pillow they gave me at the hospital. Would make a great name for a punk rock group.
Definitely the bullet bra and its cone-shaped oddness is one of the weirdest fashion trends ever to surface, but no one rocked it as great as Rita Repulsa on the “Power Rangers” did. Even her action figure looks awesome!
Ironically, we originally considered naming our daughter “Brufus.”
I would have been surprised had they NOT been able to include the phrase “joint resolution” in this four sentence article.
What Disney characters do to scrape by while Disneyland is closed due to the pandemic.
I gave my grandson fake poop on his fourth birthday. He was so excited, he moved his bowels and produced an exact replica. I shit you not.
Has Keane never seen “South Park?” Obviously, they come from the male fish’s genitalia.
An unfortunate placement of the price tag.
When you pause your TV set and get to see this:
Never flash obscene gestures at road vehicles in the desert, as they may retaliate.
You get to decide if this ad is fake or genuine.
Louisiana Kitsch-en.
Vote in the nude this erection year!
The men of Kentucky and Alabama are obviously not persons who should be messed with.
Perhaps donating sex offenders to universities is a tax write off.
Maybe they were referring to coffee beans.
Finger lickin’ sorry, y’all!
As soon as someone pointed out that the only brown Corn Pop on the back of the Corn Pops cereal box was a janitor, Kellogg’s pulled the offending box off the supermarket shelves.
Hey, kids! While you’re munching away on your bowl of cereal, here are some MORE racist and offensive print ads!
Here are ten instructions for a light-up box, eight of which are all regarding the batteries. Based on number four, apparently there is a widespread epidemic of people accidentally swallowing batteries while attempting to install them in small appliances.
My mouth and anus are already watering.
Some photographs are so remarkable and amazing, they just take your breath away. This is not one of them.
I remember back when a round du-hicky thingy would cost you under a dollar.
Nothing to say about these, really.
A medium whose predictions are well done is pretty rare.
WTF?!?!?? (What the Funny Papers?!?!??) Sometimes a cartoonist will slip into the daily newspaper comic strips something that is either very, very strange or very, very over-the-edge. Here are a few examples I have accumulated over the years:
How to call your boss a dick in a family newspaper:
Of all the toys he could have drawn for PJ to hold, why a fish????
Tuna? I am thinking maybe he DOES know something about women…
This must have gone over well for all the fathers who read the Sunday comics each week to their kids, and the question came up, “Daddy, what’s a vibrator?”
Farts and poop sometimes make it into the daily strips.
It’s always funny to diss on kids.
She was hooked as soon as he pulled out the yardstick.
They saved the most terrifying story on the list for last: binge-watching Half-pint and her family.
Folks, you can’t make these headlines up. Well, actually, you can, and they did.
You’re on Santa’s naughty list this holiday, so enjoy a free Coca-Coal fountain drink.
What were they thinking at Crayola when they put a picture of an African-American child on the front of the package for a product called “Outdoor Colored Bubbles?” This dollar store delight had me laughing out loud in the aisle, especially regarding the claim that the “Color Rubs off of Skin!” White America, here I’s come!
KTKT, a top-40 radio station in Tucson, used to print and provide these free weekly lists, available at any Woolco, Zody’s, or K-Mart department store. (Say, whatever happened to Mocedades, anyway?)
I absolutely love the headline on this magazine cover. And it is not referring to women wanting to fight the guy.
Those are actually the pockets of her blouse:
Truth in politics.
Finally!
This truly is innovative scheduling – bring plenty of reading material:
The following headlines need no comment:
This pregnant woman’s baby has dropped significantly:
Once again, L.A. Sheriffs save the day.
Appropriate last name for this reader who took the time to call the Gripe Line:
We all make “simple mistakes” from time to time:
This day-care center had the best behaved children ever:
When asked by his friends what the judge told him, the man said “Iguana jail.”
Mama done took my Kodachrome away. (On 06/22/2009, to be exact. The last roll was developed on 07/14/2010 for a National Geographic photographer at the photo shop mentioned in the article below.)
TV Guide listings that struck me funny. Many of them intrigued me by their mere existence, as they either don’t build up much excitement in the viewer to tune in (“Topic: fire!”), or they appear to be written by someone who had no idea what episode was actually airing (examples: “Star Trek” and “Father Knows Best” have descriptions which apply to pretty much every single episode).
Poo-Bah Record Shop in Pasadena, California, was the most amazing place ever. It was an old house with a huge porch converted into a record store. I spent thousands of dollars there in the 1980s, as well as thousands of hours flipping through bins of records and talking new music and bands with Richard, and the other always very high, always very in touch, record store guys. It was at Poo-Bah’s that I witnessed punk rock turn into new-wave, the birth of hip-hop, and the introduction of a new way to listen to music called the compact disc. It has long since moved, but apparently isstill in business.
