“There is only one plot: things are not what they seem,” said the famous crime and mystery writer Jim Thompson. And he was right. Not only about storytelling, but about life itself. Which can make the world pretty exasperating and a little bit risky, but also rather amusing.

LOL! I love “the inside of a violin.” I like to look inside of musical instruments and imagine living in there.
Exactly. Beautiful custom wood paneling. Just add bookshelves, and what’s not to love?
I like the Flintstone Swiss Army knife and the Chipmonk. Good pics.
I did have to take a closer look at some of them, but a lot of them made me laugh out loud. Great way to start the weekend, Mitch!
So cool and funny!
They made me laugh! Life isn’t exactly how you think it is! Have a good weekend Mitch.🙂
You too, Sandy!
Where on earth do you find all these pics? They are hilarious. Well, except for the creepy recycling bin.
Poor thing. It probably started life happily, with a real sense of purpose in life, until people started dumping all kinds of unrecyclable junk into it.
Maybe a ghost of garbage past
I love the rock star poster. 😀 I thought they were all cute.
Loving the kid with the carrots!
Mitch,
As always wild and fun stuff. Now I know why I have a chair tatoo and not Cher.
Thank you, Gary
;>)
Thank for a good laugh. These are always a lot of fun!
My pleasure, Chris!
How did I not see the mlb bird 😂 all these years?!
Dunno, Sarah, but just try and un-see it now!
I know for sure
Fun photos!! Kudos to the carrot kid, love the squirrel. 🙂 And now I won’t look at my wash machine in the same way again.
The stone age multi tool is priceless. I want one! Thanks for the chuckles, Mitch. 🙂
My pleasure, Nancy.
Such fun surprises to discover in each photo! I’m especially fond of the creative little fellow who decorated the kitchen cabinets with carrots. That boy is going places!
Me too, Nancy. Clearly an artist of staggering originality!
Fantastic! You made me laugh and brightened our days! Thanks!
Delighted to hear that, Joanne!
Love that little chipmunk. The others were good, too. It took me a minute to find the cat in the Christmas tree, though.
I completely agree with Jim Thompson’s view. Life’s constant uncertainties can be both frustrating and intriguing. The post’s focus on the deceptive nature of things resonates well. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
