These Strange Days Are Still With Me


There are a lot of strange things that have happened in the two months that I’ve been with the place I work at right now.  A lot of strange things.  They vary in how strange they are yet they all have one simple thing in common.  Each thing left me wondering what the hell I just saw and what was going on.  I’m going to put a few of them here so that I can share some of these oddities with you.

One night while I was cleaning through the building I went upstairs.  There is a scale up there and two girls were checking their weights on the scale.  I thought nothing of it.  However, on my way back to the stairs I saw one girl on the scale and the other holding her boobs.  I can only assume they were checking weight both with and without boobs included.  They noticed me noticing what was going on and there was an awkward moment that ended with them running out of the building laughing.

Another night, while I was cashier, I saw something I never thought I would see in my life.  I was sitting at the cash register when I heard a vehicle driving towards the part of the street that my work is located.  That’s not strange.  When I saw the vehicle is when things got strange.  The vehicle was a van and on the side of the van were two words: Free Sex.  Through the back of the van you could see red, green, and blue lights.  The van was lit up like a damn cash cab.  I felt dirty just seeing the van.

I guess I’ll give you one more for now.  This one has happened multiple times and I have yet to fully comprehend what I’m seeing.  This is not due to me not knowing what I saw.  I do not comprehend it because I do not understand why I am seeing what I am seeing.  I’ll be at work when I hear the music.  60s or 70s rock and roll will start getting louder.  I know it’s about to happen at this point.  A man rides by on a motorcycle with this music blaring.  Not strange yet?  On the back of his motorcycle is a second rider.  That’s not too weird yet, right?  The second rider is a stuffed Wile E. Coyote wearing a construction vest.  I don’t know why he does this ride.  Does he have some kind of weird kink where he likes to display his love for his Wile E. Coyote?  Perhaps.

I think those are three solid moments of weird that I have experienced at work.  If you disagree you can explain why.  Until then, I’m going to keep my sheltered “This is weird” self in this state of thinking this is weird stuff to witness.  Until next time...

Is "Real Steel" Like "Over the Top"?

When I was going through my weekly movie binge a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon two movies that I had never seen before that tackled a very similar story.   It was an odd thing to have happen because I didn’t know of any similarities between the two movies.   The first was Real Steel, a movie about a man who participates in robot boxing while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   The second was Over the Top, a movie about a man who participates in arm wrestling while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   Similar?   I think so. Let’s begin with Real Steel.   I watched this one because, why the hell not?   I quite enjoyed the movie and by the end I was rooting for Hugh Jackman’s character to help his robot, Atom, to a victory.   The thing to point out about Real Steel is how good the visual effects were.   I wasn’t expecting too much going in, but I thought they masterfully crafted each robot in a way that it entirely fit its surroundings and didn’t

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 8: The Power Stealer

Image
Last time we sat down with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Tommy was going through some serious stuff.   His powers were running low because Lord Zedd was targeting him.   He felt hopeless.   His friends were comforting him.   There was also a Robo Goat trying to take a powerful sword and use it against the Earth.   There were fights all over the place and an emotional hook that was unmatched in any episode that wasn’t in a multi-part arc. This episode, there might be follow-up to the Tommy storyline.   It would be nice to see more of the struggle with his powers.   Right now, that’s the one throughline that has been playing out.   II hope this episode continues to have some sort of meaning to the overall story, instead of being a self-contained and meaningless.   The show needs to grow and evolve, with a storyline that builds to something significant.   Having episodes that keep the story at a standstill is boring.   The story needs to move forward.   Will this episode d

A Short Description of how Baby's Day Out (1994) is a Live Action Cartoon

Animated movies have been a large fixture throughout cinematic history.   There is currently an Academy Award category devoted entirely to animated features.   They are an important part of the cinematic landscape.   Movies would be completely different if not for the animated films that have been popular throughout the past century. Children have always been a large part of the popularity of cartoons.   This has not been solely a movie based genre.   Television also thrives on animated shows.   As a child, I can remember watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.   In the children’s cartoons, characters could be forced into dangerous predicaments, get injured or nearly killed, and continue on with their lives as if nothing ever happened to them.   This was the way of cartoons such as Looney Toons , where Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, and Yosemite Sam would always suffer great physical trauma, then return to their normal selves in the next scene. This is probably
