Gianormous Spiders

Posted 4/18/2008 9:28 am by Trace Sharp

 

gianormous-spiders-500×409.jpg

It’s the little things in the blogosphere that create a connection with the authors you read. You find out things about each and everyone’s personality and hopefully, that will make you return to that blog because you feel a connection.

Let it be said, I’m terrified of spiders. I’m also not fond of cave crickets because they look like spiders and they jump at you.

So, today’s photo of the day scared the bejeebus out of me.

I will have nightmares for a week.

    London Street Bananas

    Posted 8/04/2008 8:45 am by Stephanie Sturgis

    While monkeying around the Intertubes, I found a site to make a chimpanzee nostalgic.

    London Bananas is comprised entirely of snapshots of banana peels left empty and neglected on the curbs, steps and trash heaps of London streets. Yep, page after page of abandoned banana peels. If the fruit flingers had only checked out PopFi, […]

    Pull Up Your Pants!

    Posted 7/15/2008 12:18 pm by Trace Sharp

    I think the best thing we can say about this photo from Chicken Crap is that the people who own this convenience store do not want you to do anything.
    Pull up your pants?
    How in God’s green earth did that become policy?

    Morbid Munching in Casket Restaurant

    Posted 6/23/2008 9:06 am by Stephanie Sturgis

    I’m not a big risk taker in my life.
    I try not to tick off the Grim Reaper, keeping him at arm’s length as much as possible.
    I’m wondering what the owners and patrons of a new eating establishment in the Ukraine were thinking when they mocked death by building a theme restaurant named Eternity centered around […]

    No Leaks in Umbrella House

    Posted 5/30/2008 12:51 pm by Stephanie Sturgis

    Pop Fi has brought all sorts of homes to your attention. We’ve had houses made of newspaper, “backpack” additions to condos and houses made from recycled trash. Even dog houses that would make some people jealous.
    The latest unusual home is a house made of umbrellas. The structure by Japanese designer Kengo Kuma is comprised of […]

    Wacky Packages Stuck on the Coffee Table

    Posted 5/28/2008 11:10 am by Stephanie Sturgis

    Who doesn’t love some gross humor.
    Come on, admit it. The lowbrow can still be funny.
    We were taught this at an early age thanks to the folks at Topps who produced Wacky Packages stickers.
    You remember don’t you. A pack of stickers with parodies of actual products available on the local grocer’s shelves reformed into a panoply […]

    Vintage Photos - Pics from the Past

    Posted 5/27/2008 11:38 am by Stephanie Sturgis

    There’s nothing like looking back at society through the snapshots of the people.
    I can spend hours scrolling through vintage photos and wondering how the lives of the people depicted were different from mine or just same as what I go through.
    If you enjoyed Tracy’s earlier link to vintage photos here at Pop Fi, you’ll certainly […]

    Gamers Can Buckle Up Old School

    Posted 5/22/2008 9:35 am by Stephanie Sturgis

    I have to admit I’m anxious to get to play with the new Wii Fit.
    The stand-on board from Nintendo looks like a real test of balance and, considering I’m not the most graceful, it will be a challenge.
    One thing about the Fit, I don’t imagine the big white rectangle will be turned into a […]

    ManBabies

    Posted 5/09/2008 8:10 pm by Trace Sharp

    There is a new site on these tubes called ManBabies.
    I think the picture is self-explanatory where the heads of fathers and their sons are transferred.
    I know. Very odd.

    The Devil’s Playground

    Posted 5/08/2008 12:56 am by Ron Hogan

    The playground is supposed to be a happy place.  Filled with kids running around, having fun, screaming with laughter and delight as they gambol and cavort about like beasts in the field.  Sure you might get the occasional skinned knee, but mostly the playground is a place for kids to be kids and revel in […]

    Phone Sheep

    Posted 5/07/2008 12:22 pm by Stephanie Sturgis

    In an age of cell phones, ye olden dial phone with the curly cord is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
    So what to do with all those useless coils of cord.
    How about creating a flock of sheep that you don’t have to feed, shear or clean up after.
    The art was created by Jean Luc […]

    Unusual Crate Labels Help Defeat Scurvy

    Posted 5/02/2008 10:03 pm by Stephanie Sturgis

    As part of the consuming public, I am not impervious to creative advertising.

    Yes, I’m a sucker for a funny, creative commercial.
    The lightsaber bus stop ads had my attention.
    Before television , advertising was glued to the end of a crate, usually containing anything from beets to lemons to oranges.
    A collection of crate labels shows how marketers […]

    The Fashion-Conscious Urban Survival Suit

    Posted 5/01/2008 7:07 pm by Ron Hogan

    We all know it’s going to happen.  One day or another, someone will invent a vigilante robot or something and the next thing you know the entirety of Planet Earth is a post-apocalyptic wasteland with gunfights in the streets, rioting, and Australian kids throwing boomerangs at people.  It’s a bad scene if you’re unprepared, but […]

    “Falling Towers” Actually Supposed to Look Like That

    Posted 4/29/2008 6:00 am by Ron Hogan

     The Chinese government has launched a building (and demolition) frenzy the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the Works Progress Administration was launched by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935.  One of the most interesting of the 300 new buildings that are going to be built in Peking’s business district is the so-called Falling Towers, […]
