Cell Phone POW! #3


Here's this week's POW!, submitted by Stina. All I know is that the animal is a goat. That's what Stina told me anyway. My question, however, is how do you know it's a goat with that thing on it's head, hmmm? How do you know it's not a satyr like this or like this or like this? Maybe that's a magic bag on it's head and he believes it will make him become either fully man or goat. Or maybe he's just embarrassed by his half man/half goatness and hides his shame under a bag. What do you think is going on here? Explain.


Last week's POW! was a table at the Jordan Commons movie theater in Sandy, Utah. It was late and the table had already closed for business, but I'm guessing they were selling spiced nuts or something. Oh, and when I asked for no graphic porn, that doesn't mean you couldn't have gotten PG-13. I liked Quinn's idea that it was a registration table at a speed dating conference.


Just some other Friday odds and ends now. Can someone tell me what the deal is with this Calfskin Formal Bow Pump for men at Brooks Brothers? Is this something you wear with a tux? Is it a European thing? Will I get beat up by the Elder's Quorum if I wear those pumps to church?


Today at work a guy is dressed up as an old man Harry Potter for Halloween. He shaved the top of his head (this guy goes all out every year) so that he has an old man, receding hairline cut. He's wearing glasses with round frames and a white shirt with a green striped tie and a black robe. He looks exactly like Henry B. Eyring. It's uncanny. And a little disconcerting.

  2. And how do you know if there's even a head under there at all? It could be a decapitated goat that I placed a bag over for the sake of the children.

  3. There you go, dragging the children into it again.

  4. I think it's Mr. Tumnus eating a bag of spiked Turkish delight that Edmund gave him as payback for the whole Lucy incident.

    I can't comment on your elder's quorum response, but I might have to consider some sort of punishment if you spent $448 on those shoes.

    Oh, and tell Harry P. Eyring at work that green is the color for Slytherin, NOT Gryffindor. Okay, I'm going to get back to my Geeks Anonymous meeting now. :)

  5. Yeah, that was another thing that I forgot to mention. The fact that they are $448. That's way too much for pumps. $300 maybe.

  6. Does that mean I win a prize for most clever interpretation?

  7. If I met a man who spent that much money on those shoes I would only have one question for him: "Do you need a girlfriend?"

    Christina is clearly just outside the frame of this picture holding a baseball bat. She then knocks the goat unconscious, and takes him home to use his milk to make artisan cheese. I'll bet we see her at the farmers' market in the next few weeks once her first batch is ready.
