Meat After Meat Joy
I see that the "Meat After Meat Joy" exhibit at the Daneyal Mahmooh Gallery recently closed. I'm kicking myself for missing this one. From the exhibit's press release:Meat After Meat Joy brings together the work of contemporary artists who use meat in their work (raw meat, the concept of meat, its symbolism and viscera) in order to investigate the paradoxical relationship meat has to the body.
Shown to the right is Sheffy Bleier's minimalist work, titled "Testicles." This would look lovely hanging in my bathroom. Right above the toilet, perhaps. On second thought, maybe not.

You know what your problem is? Not enough yeast. I suggest increasing your beer intake.

Even More Bacon
We like bacon-themed stuff here at Weird Universe. So here's some more of it, available from Etsy.com:
A Bacon and Eggs Scarf"The bacon curls just a bit to give it a more realistic look, and is approximately 5" wide and 5' long. The eggs are pinned on using standard safety pins, and can be repositioned to suit your fancy or removed altogether for those events requiring a bit more solemnity."
Bacon Christmas Tree Ornaments"glittered and embellished with a creamy white vintage seam binding bow... has hooks ready for hanging."

"Dig this crazy mixed-up ice cream!" "Man, it's real cool!"
Yeah, because beatniks like Maynard G. Krebs eat a lot of ice cream!

What kind of kids would a shellfish and a bottle have, and how would they go about reproducing?

The Faces in the Broccoli
Cascadian Farm sells frozen organic broccoli florets. That's not particularly unusual.
But look closer. Can you see the tiny disembodied heads floating amidst the broccoli bits?
When contacted about it, Cascadian Farms offered this reply:
The tradition of hiding names or faces on Cascadian Farm packaging began over a dozen years ago. It was unspoken tribute by the package design department to the friends & family of Cascadian Farm. The faces won’t be included on our redesigned packaging.
How much for this meal?
Continuing the "overpriced stuff" theme that I began in a previous post, how much would you be willing to pay for this meal?What you get -- Dinner at Masa, a sushi restaurant in NY City. From Wikipedia:
Reservations for the 26 available seats are taken three weeks in advance. Chef Masa prepares the menu himself, often including seasonal ingredients. He uses many exotic ingredients, such as truffles and Kobe beef; Most of the fish are flown in from Japan. Chef Masa can be seen working behind the bar and will sometimes serve the food as well.
There's no menu to order from. You get whatever you're served. The cost: It's a fixed price of $400 per person, to which a 20% tip is automatically added. Then there's tax. So you're looking at a minimum of $513 per person. If you want anything to drink, be prepared to pay extra.
Via J-Walk, the receipt of a recent Masa diner, posted on Flickr. Seriously, if you're going to splurge by going there, why ruin the meal by getting a Diet Coke? Just ask for water.

This appears to be an ad for a brand of French chewing gum. I'm not sure if the notion of a pair of used panties from the Statue of Liberty is adequate enticement to chew the company's product.
