“Food”? What, it’s not really food? (Frankston)
Could this be a conduit to the future? (Northcote Station)

Some pics
It’s too damn hot, so here are some photos from last week’s jaunt down to Inverloch.
Uh oh — he lives! Spotted this in Cranbourne:
In Korumburra we found this company who appear to have named their business after Net Speak’s “Be Right Back”… complete with an actual BRB message in the window:
This was one of the signs in Inverloch. Especially amused by the layout of the word “Poo”:
When we got home, we found this in Bentleigh. Next time they update the Google Streetview photos, watch out for me, standing opposite the post office snapping a photo with my phone. Maybe you’ll be able to see my Tintin t-shirt (if they don’t blur him out!)

I’m sharp and smart
…apparently.
(It’s a sharps disposal container at Monash Medical Centre.)
Also spotted just before Christmas, reindeer carrot in Safeway:
- “The carrots preferred by reindeers.”
- “Ingredients: Carrots, magic, love.”
I wonder if the ACCC would approve of those claims?

Poor Mr Pictogram
Poor pictogram man; he’s obviously in a state of complete despair over the loss of his car. I wonder if he’s based on someone real?
Has anybody compiled a web site of unlucky pictogram people? That’d be a fun project.
Actually maybe he didn’t lose his car. Maybe he just got outbid on the signed copy of the Doug Anthony Allstars book “Book” which I’m selling on Ebay. (Was that plug too subtle?)

Friday pics
Every time I pass this mural in Glen Huntly, I wonder if the grinning face is meant to be anybody in particular.
This sounds like brutal honesty to me — perhaps they’re just not that good.
Surely this can’t be good for your tyres.

Sound and movement in Footscray Park
Footscray Park, half-an-hour ago…
A few pics
Nice bit of product placement there, Priceline. (They’re not just in the same aisle, they’re virtually opposite each other.)
If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth half doing:
This advert for VoteMyPet.com.au (promotion for Advocate, a product of Bayer) was nailed to a tree in the park. You reckon they had permission from Kingston Council for that?
If you have to ask how much this super-dooper executive version of Scrabble costs, you aren’t looking closely enough:

Cathedral Arcade
Almost hidden away in the bottom of The Nicholas Building is the Cathedral Arcade.
I can’t say I frequent the quaint shops in there — I just use it as a shortcut — but that ceiling is quite amazing.
