headless horse, man

in honor of halloween, here's a picture of some sorta float thing, or something, that's parked in a bodyshop parking lot on like 27th ave and 28th st.

minneapolis c. s. i., or is it csi ?

as in "crushed squirrel incident".

no need for the "investigation" part, since it appears obvious what happened to the little buddy.

OW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, and sorry about falling SO far behind, but i DO have like 5 or 6 more things on tap, maybe tomorrow will be a mini-blogathon in an effort to get back on track. there actually ARE some pretty groovy things, well sorta...

cool hand luke on 27th ave?

these mighta been like this for a while, and surely they're just in the process of being installed so that the city can make sure that NOBODY stops at any of the shops on the 3000 block of 27th, but since paul newman's death is so recent, and cool hand luke was such an awesome movie, i wanna just pretend that his ghost came and did this or something...
