San Fran is Officially becoming at Least as strange as NY. Walking down the street the other day I saw a flyer on a pole that illustrates this SO Perfectly; I literally stopped and stared with my mouth open, gob-smacked:
Wow. This is unbelievable on so many levels. On the "only on a Japanese game show" level. On the "almost a little scary" level. On the "look around for the hidden camera" level. WWWwwwwwwwowwwwwwww. I have questions:
Why "Jejune Institute?" Do they not know what that word means?
What's with the MONKEYS? Throwin' bananas?
IS there a hidden camera?
Who is this dude on the flyer? Why is he rockin' suspenders AND Two types of underwear, one over the other?
I got stuff to say:
I didn't even Know I *had* Hydrodynamic activities.
If you bought one of these, you HAVE to call me. No, for real.
I have 30K comic books, and this is still the Illest Thing I've Ever Seen.
I have more questions:
WHAT do the "four inch injectors" inject?
Are you kidding?
What's with the question marks above his head. . .is he
on an existential search for truth?
Must. Stop. Now. My brain's never EVER been so thoroughly spanked. Do I laugh, edge away carefully, call the number Immediately, check my immediate area for monkeys, some combination of all of those? Wow. Just. . .wow.
