Different strokes for different folks ….. but, those toenails gotta go! She can’t possibly wear shoes or even walk. Ay caramba!
¡Mis pensamientos exactamente, Nancy!
We’re all weird in our own way, and that’s perfectly alright.
Couldn’t quite make out the weird predator. This is a cool and fun post.
The one chasing the dog and cat? It’s a human dressed in a tiger costume.
Thanks!!!
We’re all uniquely weird. We don’t have to do anything else to make ourselves more weird. Off with the crazy beards! 🙂
;>) See ktz2’s comment, Nancy.
God bless him! 👍
OMG! What a collection! Some are not only weird but already pretty creepy.
Wow, interesting
of pens
Thanks for posting this, Mitch. I may save it to take a peek at next time I’m feeling weird. 🙂
;>)
I’m feeling very very average, Mitch! It takes all kinds! I love it all (particularly Teddy’s Moose!) 🫎 I pray you are doing well, dear friend. Many blessings!
I am, Karla, thank you. And I’m praying for you as well, dear friend❣
I’m so happy to hear this! And thank you, dear friend! I appreciate you! 💚
🧡
The 2nd one, the pointy-beard man, I recognize as a guy who goes by Mr Incredibeard. He’s been around a long time and fixes his beard in all kinds of weird and funny ways- like a basket with fruit or an octopus crawling on his face.. done for charity fundraising.
I read somewhere once – ‘It doesn’t take all kinds, we just have all kinds anyway’.
;>)
Eek!
Quite a collection of weirdness. I’m not sure I completely agree with Tom Robbins, but maybe I just need to work on my understanding.
Whats normal is my question, I’ve only ever seen weird to measure by.
There is no such thing as ‘normal’.
That’s exactly what I was thinking .
who’s to say what’s weird?
Good stuff, Mitch. My life could use a little more weirdness.
Wow! Just “Wow!”
Weirdness on a whole new level. I may have certain visions rolling around in my head all weekend. By the way, I have never wanted a facial bad enough to have snails and snakes crawling all over my face. Beauty takes on a whole new meaning. Thanks for sharing, Mitch.
My, ahem, pleasure, San. ;>)
Mitch, loved this—proof the world runs on the strong coffee of “weird.” Honestly, I feel under-qualified for normal. My rule of thumb:
If it makes a great dinner story, it wasn’t a mistake.
“Why is this happening?” is just the prequel to “You won’t believe what happened.”
Weird people are the spice rack; normal is plain toast.
Thanks for the laugh—and the reminder to keep my antenna tuned to the odd and wonderful.
;>) My pleasure, Michael.
Your “unknown” quote is from Steven Covey.😉
Aha! Thanks, C.J.
No problem, Mulch.😂😂
In the blog, I used to put a watermelon helmet on Dennis back in the day when he was about to do something dangerous or foolhardy. Which happened a lot lol
