you don't want to see this
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 9:43AM Really, you don't.
Really.
Really.
Back story: when we moved to Minnesota, we took over two spaces in an empty building and connected them with French doors. There is still an empty space next to us that used to be occupied by another business. When you walk into the empty space, it looks decent enough. The floors are certainly in better shape over there than they were on this side of the wall.
There's even a glass block wall in the back.
But then comes the part you don't want to see.
Glow in the dark paintings. Of...
What? What are these? Anatomically correct butterfly aliens?
I'll take my floors any day, thank you.
See? I told you you didn't want to see it, and you didn't listen to me.

Um. OK.
Is the blue "butterfly"? in the corner touching itself?
I can see the advertisement now.."Come to our store & see the famous mural 'A Night in Wang Forest'. I burst out laughing everytime I think of it.
my respect for duluth and its talented, original, tall, handsome, authentic nordic creative artists mounts ever higher.
please y'ista, don't even think of painting over these murals. They are a national treasure. The anatomically correct features alone are the most subtle & delicate i've ever seen.
besides, you need a handy color swatch board so you can see which shades you're dyeing are true & which are, ahem, off-color. If you keep the murals, all you'll have to do is raise your eyes.
Ick! Very strange indeed. Not what I would think of as an appropriate mural for an art supply store. I'm glad they aren't your neighbours any more.
An "art gallery/art supply store". Well, doubtless here in NJ it would also be called that on the label ! Of course, here in NJ you'd also find that "respected local artist" painting the murals in the respected local daycare buildings! I'm sorry, but I have to ask: did you hear that explanation from someone with a degree in English Language, majoring in Cynical Disinformation and Political Correctness? Or did you just not tell us that the place was also licenced and that nobody under 21 was allowed inside? <grin>
I'm jealous as all **** of the house, tho', and as for the extra window on the landing, ..... houses grow like trees, not like humans - bits once built tend to get grown around and made useful!
You're going to use this as inspiration for next month's club colorways, right? I'll take 4 skeins of "Bizarro Pudgy Winged Aliens with Wee-Wees" on Springvale, kthxbai.
Okay now, that just completely cracked me up! Wow! Just... wow. ::snickers in a juvenile manner::
Jaine, that was great! Love the humor! I am LMAO! "with wee-wee's" too funny!
It's probably meant to scare everybody who tries to break in.
Oh my! I could not stop laughing :lol:
I come look at this post whenever I have a bad day at work, and it makes me laugh every single time. It is so bizarre, and reminds me of a music store that was near my college. :)
