Cell Phone Fertogerphy

Journey with me through the strange and mystical world of my cell phone picture gallery. These are the finest specimens I have managed to capture in the nine months I've had this phone...

This is what I ate before I got married. One word sums up Swanson's Microwave Dinners: "hearty."

Classic "Do Not Let Your Children Feed the Squirrels" sign.

This is some kind of robot.

For shame. Is this the best they could come up with? (One of these words is not necessary; you decide which one it is.)

"GREAT PRIZES!" For example, a CD case, or maybe this key-chain with a dollar sign on it.


This next section is devoted to some of the finer products sold at the Dollar Tree. For example, these gummy Lance-Armstrong-style inspirational wristbands. Great idea! Put a sticky treat on your skin and make a statement at the same time: "TEAM!", "BELIEVE", "CRAZY!"

For the indecisive consumer: Razzles! "First it's a candy, then it's gum!"
So much work went into designing this beautiful package. You'd think they would have spent a little more time thinking of a brand name...but "A Deck of Playing Cards" works I guess.

Turns out Dollar Tree cards are sticky...and useless.

Cheap date idea.

Can you say "mouth-watering"? This gets the award for Best Presentation of Hot Dogs.

This is what happens when you get snowed-in and have to buy dinner at Maverick. Tonight's main course consists of a BOMB foot-long burrito, hoagie sandwich (age unknown), Big Grab of Cheetos, and some sort of energy drink.
Dollar Tree's versions of popular games. Let's see if you can guess what they're spoofing. This one is called "Seabattle"...

..."Inline" looks familiar...

...and of course the family classic "Catch the Plane."

This is an ad for a church in Colorado. It's the XXX Church's ever-popular Men's Breakfast. See you there!

Gymnastics of Yore


Do you remember when they used real horses for the pommel horse event? Boy, things sure have changed.
