The Tomfoolery Report v. 1 n. 4 - David Bowie

This Tomfoolery Report really needs no introduction. May I present David Bowie as he appears in the childrens movie Labrynth:


















Someone get that man a fig leaf!


This has been The Tomfoolery Report.

The Tomfoolery Report v. 1 n. 3 -Tastes Just Like Chicken They Say!

This TFR is a two-parter

1) At our motel restaurant at Capitol Reef National Park, I ordered a 3 piece chicken meal. The joke was on us when our food arrived 50 minutes later cold as ice. That was when the real tomfoolery happened. May I present to you, one piece of my 3 piece chicken meal. Yes my friends, the joke was on me- "What? We've only got two pieces of chicken left? We need three! Quick, grab that rat and a sharp knife!"



2) This picture comes to us straight from a KFC in Japan, it was taken by my brother in law who got these tasty morsels in his bucket of Colonel's goodness. This is a picture of a picture, so I apologize for the low image quality. On the top of the picture, you have a chicken spine, and below that, you have a fried chicken brain. I don't know if this is better or worse than the infamous battered and fried chicken head from McDonalds, but its enough to make me swear off The Colonel forever.

What was your name again?

Here are a couple photos from a going away party at my work. This employee was so valued they even made a large banner for her! I can only hope my contributions are as recognized and valued as Rosie's...er Roise's...


















Wait a minute, lets take a closer look at Rosie's sign...










Whoopsy.

The Tomfoolery Report v. 1 n. 2 - Flush 'n' Wait

May I present The Tomfoolery Report "Number 2" (Har har har):

As a responsible cell phone owner, I had no choice but to snap a photo of this unisex restroom at The University of Utah.














I'm not sure if the person who thought a chair was needed in here was more of a "team player" or if it was in response to overly strenuous activity. Hey, sometimes you need to take a breather!

Either way, hat's off for making this unisex restroom comfortable for the next person in line!

The Tomfoolery Report v. 1 n. 1 - Curb Hopper

Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Tomfoolery Report!

On November 24th 2008, I witnessed some outright tomfoolery:

Notice the conspicuous white line on the ground leading to the car... Evidently this guy had a little too much of grandpa's cough syrup before driving this morning. On his way into the parking area, he swung WAY too wide on his right turn, hopped the curb, drove across the grass island, and took out a chunk of the concrete curb. Whoopsy.



After he got the piece of curb lodged underneath his car, he kept on driving... "What's that noise?? Its a funny squeaky sound..." After his attempt to drive his high-centered car off the curb chunk did nothing but leave a sweet white line on the asphalt, he got out and gave the piece of curb a good swift kick... Lets think this through mathematically....

(2,000 lb. car/1 curb chunk) + 1 drunk man kick = FAIL.

So, he just walked off and left it until he'd sobered up a little.

Later in the day I came outside to find his car gone. I'm sure he had to jack his car up to get the concrete out from under there, its a shame I didn't get to witness that. However, he was nice enough to leave the chunk of curb in the parking area for someone else to hit.

The Tomfoolery Report

Well I think I've finally come up with something to do with this blog that will hopefully be entertaining for all (as do all my great ideas, this one came to me while I was sitting on the toilet).... The Tomfoolery Report. I don't know if the TFR will be the purpose of this blog, but I will headline them all so they are easy to find no matter what I wind up posting. Next up: The Tomfoolery Report volume I number I!
