Random Crap Wednesday!

Posted January 31, 2007 at 4:47 pm by Prescott

We’re starting a new feature here at The Imperfect Parent, where once a week we’ll post a photo of, as the title says, random crap. I’ll kick things off with a pic of one of my favorite things:

moose_off

I can’t even remember now how Moose made it into our home — perhaps an inheritance from a long-dead aunt, or a drunken impulse buy at a Wisconsin gas station/cheese emporium/gift shop. Maybe it was even left here by the previous occupants, who knows. All I do know is that it’s 100 pounds worth of awesome.

Is the base really a slice from a birch trunk?

Oh, yes.

And it’s all hand carved?

Absolutely.

That’s nice and all, but what’s so special about it?

This, my friends:

You can’t tell from the picture but the light bulb flickers, cranking the kitsch level to 11.

I love this country. :sniff:

Send us your crap! Have a snapshot of something you want to share? Put it up on your blog, Flickr, or whatever, and send a link to crap@imperfectparent.com. You just might see your random crap featured on The Imperfect Parent!

    Nice, the campfire flame has an almost translucent quality, is it carved out of cheese?

    OOps! I did’t see the light up picture until after I posted, I guess cheese would melt wouldn’t it?

    I have no crap. But I’m quite impressed by your crap.

    Seriously - how big is that thing? You gave the weight, but not the dimensions.

    SS, it would delight me to no end if cheese were somehow involved, but alas… however, “cheesy”, yes.

    MGM, my turn of phrase was perhaps incorrect. It is not actually 100 pounds (oh, if it were), but is pretty light (no pun intended) and only about 8 inches high.

    I love your moose and shall have to find something equally fascinating to post. Thanks, ever so much, for sharing your tiny moose light. The world is a better place for it.
