Flip Master

This photo was found in the kitchen of a community hall where a punk rock show was being held. It depicts a common Calgary tradition: a “stampede breakfast,” where free pancakes and sausage are served. Of note is the fact that the pancake is in mid-flip, and the flipper of the pancake is making direct … Continued

No What to Do

I work at the university and found this delightful drawing while tidying up the Aboriginal student lounge. I don’t think anyone would know what to do when confronted by a weird bucket with what appears to be a tap. Kids are weird.

My grandfather found this and thought it so cute that he brought it in to show us all. He never specified where he found it. I especially love the ‘Winner” sticker. I hope they all kept to their many resolutions!

Shy Guy’s Breathing

I found this on a college classroom floor. I think it is the creative contraction of “kind of” that amuses me the most.
