Don’t get too close to that flower, Spock!

What do YOU think it is?

Last week’s mess was billed as a “snappy” cheese custard snack. Human digestive systems may disagree.

Here is this week’s example of bad food photography:

words_fail_me

Words fail me. The perpetrators of this may be first up against the wall when the food revolution comes. Either that, or they’ll be hailed as heroes in the Hall of Incomprehensibly Named Menu Items.

What do YOU think this is?

Last week’s abomination was Louisiana Yam Lobster Chowder. Uh, yeah.

We’re back from haitus with a double helping of wrong:

soup-n-bacon

In the foreground we have something the cat left on the carpet. Bringing up the rear are the ever-popular bacon-tomato bridges spanning individual servings of molten lava. Toss a dead tree on top for garnish, and you’ve got a meal sure to stop conversation … because everyone will be clamoring for the exit!

So what do you think this is? Leave a comment below.

This may be what the old chain smoker down the street coughed up on his deathbed – complete with bits of lung.

Last week’s creature feature?

Yes, Crevette, it was a pear.  The caption said it was a “stuffed fresh pear,” but it could have been fress ass for all I know.

The Home Entertainment Center, Ca. 1927

1927_ent_center

This is from the May, 1927 issue of Radio News. This guy had a phonograph, a radio, a small movie projector, and a speaker, which he could move behind the movie screen. Apparently he could also operate the lights and curtains by remote control.

Check out this quote:

It may be feasible in the future to transmit entertainment and instructional programs by line-wire carrier-current telephony from one national studio to your home. A number of different programs may be sent on the same wires conveying the usual telephone conversations.

And still nothing to watch.
