Thursday is bazaar day! No. 47

Ha, lucky me, I managed to get done with my weekly rounds just as the rain decided to kick off. Mind you, the bazaar doesn’t usually stop for rain— I remember one particularly bad storm last winter when most of the vendors stayed away, but on days like today it’s business as usual. Here are the goods.

Up until a few minutes ago I had been reading that verb as plain old putting, like, “put the glass on the table.” But just now I realised maybe it means putting, like, to hit a golf ball with a putting iron. So who wants to explain where the baseball fits in?


If you want to see more of these, the bazaar archive is here, and if you want some Turklish of your own you can find it over at the store. Ma

    I think the G-STAR may be a reference to G-UNIT from 50cent? http://g-unitclothing.com/ maybe they translated the UNIT part to mean some sort of military group and they put in all those military references?
