Summer Break

BERJAYA

[Art by Jan L. Waldron]

Well, everyone, summer's here and I've got
places to go, people to see, and stuff to do!

So this blog will be on hiatus
until mid-July or so.

Behave yourselves until then!

Oh, who am I kidding?
I know you people!

Have fun and see you later!

Monday Murals -- Tarot Cards

I'm taking part today in 
Monday Murals hosted by Sami.

BERJAYA

Today is World Tarot Day
so I am featuring a mural
depicting three tarot cards.

The cards represent the unknown artist's interpretation of
the Temperance, World and Star cards of the Major Arcana.

This mural was painted on the side of a
pagan, goth and kink "Curio Shoppe"
located in a trendy area in Edmonton
known for shopping, bars and restaurants.

Both the store and the mural are now long gone, alas.

Forgive Me, Jesus, But These Videos Are Funny

(1) Mommy's Glass Is Getting Low


(2) Get My Dad's Name Out of Your Mouth!


(3) Oh Scheiße! A Modern German
Subway Station of the Cross


What follows is commentary and photos from
the internet post where I found this video --

This isn’t quite how I imagined
the second coming of Christ.

What makes this funnier is that I’m pretty sure
that’s at the station for Cologne Cathedral.

It is and every time I see that hole I think of this video.

I remembered to check at the station today and can report
that the structural stigmata are still there --

BERJAYA

Why are there 4 holes?? Maybe 5?

It’s His daily commute.

It is written that twice did Jesus stumble and
twice did the cross strike nearby architecture.

So really this is method acting.

Unfortunately they repaired it recently --

BERJAYA

And now there's a commemorative plaque of the incident,
posted on the subway wall in three languages --
