The other, other white meat

Charlie Brown Farm was every bit as cluttered and chaotic as the website suggests.

What a collection of random bulls**t. Well, actually bobcat s**t.



Thank god it's from California. I hear the stuff from Nevada stinks.

Something there reminded me of my father, I couldn't figure out what...



Emu eggs. The size of softballs.



Entire cadavers of bunnies.



In case you like pet carcasses to have a more processed, manufactured look.



The brand is Pel-Freez, but it looks like Pet-Freez in the photo above photo, doesn't it? This photo from their website is so disturbing to me because Amanda strikes a pose just like that bunny on the plate when she's in self-cleaning mode. I'll get a photo some time.





Then there was the room devoted to the world's most tragic cartoon character.



Betty is about five feet tall. The room was full of figurines of her. It freaked me out to think that someone would actually want to own anything like this. Especially if they owned it without a sense of irony.

That's the thing about kitsch; the world has two types of people, those who like velvet Elvis paintings ironically and those who like velvet Elvis paintings without any irony.  Like all the Nazi  and Confederate paraphernalia at Charlie Browns, someone is buying that stuff for it's actual meaning, without any sarcasm.

Some pervert finds Betty Boop to be the ideal of a perfect woman, and some woman identifies herself so completely with Boop that she has a five foot tall figurine of her in her bedroom. Both ideas make me want to cry myself to sleep.

It makes me glad that the world still has barbecue to give it redeeming value.
 


That's brisket fat glistening back at ya on lower left. Man that was smoky, tangy, and good.

But then there are times when you find grossly demeaning racial stereotypes in life-size reality.



The guy in the background is wearing a slot machine instead of warrior armor. I hope this is a social statement of some sort and that the artist is Native American. Otherwise, this is a bunch of Nevada bobcat scat.

And for those who idolize Laura Bush and the less famous woman that JFK slept with.



It's kind of funny, like even the Laura doll is upstaged and jealous of J O-K, yet stilled too awed by her presence to keep from looking.

There was a Winston Churchill doll, which is destined to be my muse when I get a big, manly home office like this one day.



Couple of dumb gorillas.

    That thing that looks like a giant scoop of ice cream in the middle of the barbecue is actually a roll that the flash on my camera gave extra brillance to.

    I was totally going to ask what that ball in the center was!

    You'll need a leather chair for your manly office. You can't have a white chair with no arms in a manyly office. Ok well, you and I can't have a white ANYTHING becuase we'd wreck it in seconds, but still...

    I can't believe that Dad, who checks his emails at 3 am hasn't responded to the horses a** comment yet.

      I intended to respond to the "horse" sooner, but, I've been kind of busy - what with the election, helping babysit Jimmy and - of course, getting my will re-written!

    JJ's share of nothing is still nothing. You apparently haven't been paying attention because M&D plan to spend it all. You basically get to handle all the crap left after they're gone and get to take care of all the travel bills they have outstanding... : )
