Bart's People: Mr. Turkeyneck

Life, Randomness

Mr TurkeyneckI don’t know what it is about people on the Metro recently, but they’re becoming more interesting all the time. I wish I had a better camera… and also that it wasn’t considered weird to take pictures of strangers. Because I saw a guy in starbucks the other day who looked just like the kid from “The Boondocks” and a girl on the Metro platform last night that could have been “Rogue” from the X-men, if she was black. She had a white Harry Potter birthmark and a white streak in the front of her hair.

But I digress, the person I want to talk about is this fellow I saw on the way home the other day. He looks like a caricature. If you saw this guy in a serious movie you would think “now that’s over the top, that just totally ruins the reality of it.” I mean come on he looks like a taller version of Wimpy from Popeye!? The fact that he dosen’t have much of a neck makes him look like a giant finger puppet, his head being the thumb. I hope he’s a good guy, I just think he looks like a cartoon.

I did a test painting with the rocketship tentacle design that I’ve been working on. I’m planning on making a new coffee table with this design on it. I may want to get the colors more vibrant and maybe use some different colors. I’m thinking purple somewhere! I think it’s really going to look good alongside the purple chair and white couch.

I’ve read about electric motorcycles that are supposed to be coming out before. But usually I get all excited when I see that they have a top speed of 120mph… but a range of 50 miles. Or they can charge in 10 minutes… but top out at 30mph… or cost $10,000. I finally think there’s one that may be different, I just read about it on Treehugger.

I don’t want to get too excited because it’s a Japanese company and who knows when it’ll come out over here. But it has a top speed of 92mph, a range of 110 miles, and can be recharged in 6 hours. Perfect for commuting. As an added bonus it totally looks like the the motorcycles from Akira, I would totally buy one!
