Well, this post won't win me any more followers

I had something typed up to put here today, except I didn't do the pictures (which were about 90% of the jokes) and so I wound up with this instead. Truth is, I haven't felt all that funny this week and most of that I blame on just having started, no one really commenting, and just generally the fact that I'm turning 21 on Saturday and have been busy getting ready for that. Oh, and I picked up John Steinbeck again. Reading his work makes me feel all intellectual and poetic. That reeeeeeeeeeeally doesn't help my inner-clown.

I'm sorry this post is shit, but I'll make it up to you by showing you something I'm pretty sure no one has yet.

Today was University Day or some such and so there was food and crap and all this loud music. Naturally, the food made me sick as hell and I had a headache as I was walking back to my dorm. Rather than deal with the music, I choose instead to cut through the Union and go around. On my way up, I spotted a group blocking the way to the exit so I ducked through the small display gallery they have where they show off the best of the art-student's work. There, I saw this:


I have no idea what this is, and that's how I know I'm sane. Jesus Christ just look at the thing. You've got a Dune-worm muppet trying to catch a floating cheeseburger while some purple, fish-lipped goon is standing guard with his spear. That doesn't even explain why the alien is playing a strange version of the claw game. Do aliens like the claw game? Are aliens planting them around the world so that their hidden fellows can play and practice for the day when they conquer earth? And who left the windsock in the machine? I mean... whatever that thing is.

All I know is that I suspect the artist who painted this regularly crawls up into a little ball and mutters things about floating food and aliens trying to catch purple people eaters in claw games.
