playing a part as the FOREIGN German guy on Laugh-In....
" Verrrrry interestink, Tink!" <--that's where you go to get the words and the rules if you wanna play too. I would be remiss if I didn't post a photo of a piece of my FOREIGN collection of French faience (a snooty word for fine vintage pottery with a colorful glaze...I love snooty words, they keep from having to type out the entire phrase I just had to type out to define what the hell faience is!)
So here are my FOREIGN and DOMESTIC shots...
My favorite FOREIGN French piece of faience...
FOREIGN money... probably about $3 worth!
DOMESTIC money...probably about .03¢ worth
FOREIGN fruit...
A DOMESTIC statue made right here in the Iowa-Illinois area...
Speaking of Illinois, has anyone seen that corn flake that's supposed to look like the state of Illinois. Some genius is selling it on eBay...some idiot has bid $200,500 last time I looked. Go here... Idiots on parade ...and type in "Illinois corn flake" and do a search...there are a bunch of people getting on the bandwagon to sell corn flakes and stuff regarding corn flakes. It's a hoot!!!
Well I have to go. I need to go buy a box of cornflakes!
Why does foreign money look so much cooler than ours? If I'm not mistaken, some of the newer bills I got in Mexico last month were actually made of plastic instead of paper. They sure felt like it.
ReplyDeleteI love your French piece of faience, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteMoney, why didn't I think of that? It almost looks fake with all those pretty colors. Boring old green American money.
Very nice pics... love the Jamaican money, and the French (whats-the-word?) faience?
ReplyDeleteWell played!
Oh, and good luck with the corn flake business ;)
Ok, I snorted at the "about .03¢ worth". Soon we're going to be using it as toilet paper. I love the item in the first picture. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, Nice pictures, well done. Second, idiots indeed, what is going to happen when said cornflake is shipped in an envelop and all the other dude gets is a small pile of cornflake dust??
ReplyDeleteLastly, Wicked good flower shots from your last post. WOW!
Oh, I like that faience piece, I was going to do money, then forgot to...oh well. I really like your domestic statue too.
ReplyDeleteI love the "money shots"...and the picture of Arte Johnson was inspired. Hey, I'm from Illinois, but I never knew we had a cornflake shaped after us ; ) Now THAT'S a midwestern legacy if ever I heard of one! Now, we need ones shaped like Kansas and Nebraska...
ReplyDeleteVery nice WWC. And of course my hubster and I are finally getting the chance to travel internationally and the dollar tanks. Yeah, FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteWho the heck looks at their cornflakes?
ReplyDeleteEverybody knows you're supposed to shovel them in blindly while you're reading the back of the box...
heehee!
XOXO
oh my goodness, I love that last sculpture, and LOOKIT ROSIE'S BELLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are your FOREIGN French piece of faience and the old domestic pennies and quarters. What is faience?
