Every once in a while, I’ll come across something so notable on the internet that I feel I have to bookmark it so that I can come back and look at it again later or share it.
Let’s start with something mundane, from several years ago:
http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/276/2499/1600/freshsalad.jpg
This may be my first exposure to the genre of a photo with something circled and/or arrowed with a “wtf?” inscription. It certainly wasn’t the last.
And there was a link to different crazy vending machines, which is now dead, but I found something like it via google:
http://www.photomann.com/japan/machines/index.htm
I find it somewhat disturbing that alongside the vending machines for kerosene and pr0n, the author lists an honor-system vegetable stand as a crazy idea. Huh? Is there any other way to buy fresh vegetables? Whoever this guy is, he’s clearly never been to farm country.
And here’s a link from much more recently: a David Byrne video that involves a bunch of people getting naked and dancing around in the nude. But fear not–no naughty bits are shown! Your innocence will not be corrupted by watching this video. It’s all censored. Without the censorship, this video would have no purpose. Explaining any more will spoil the surprise. Watch it.

If you didn’t smile at that, we need to talk.
I don’t have any memory of how I found this–probably someone sent me a link:

Has anyone seen one of these in the real world? How many do you think they’ve sold? But don’t you want one now? Be honest. Aren’t you already thinking of how you’re going to explain this contraption when Aunt Millie comes over for tea? It’s not the kind of thing you can hide in your nightstand.
Personally, I think this looks like it could be fun, except for the fact that I’m married to a woman who can’t look at it without giggling. Plus the kids would probably use it as a jungle gym.
In case you ever need some avant-garde Tees, these guys will fix you up:
Lovely stuff.
I’ll always have a bookmark or two for this, just in case:

Most of the links in by bookmarks are dead. Oh, well.
So, what about you? What forgotten treasures or eclectic crap do you have bookmarked? What seemed worth a second look?
