Thursday is bazaar day! No. 10

For our first bazaar post in double figures, this week we cross over from funny-ha-ha into funny-weird. Most of the stuff I found today didn’t make me laugh, per se, but it did make me squint and wonder. As always, here are my favourites.

Now, I am familiar with the phrase “first flush of youth,” but… this doesn’t say that. It’s more like the courtesy flush. And it’s dripping mossy sewer weed. Or something.

I couldn’t decipher the top part, and only got a bit further with the road closed bit.

I think this is advice we can all live by.

Ok, here’s what I’m getting out of this one: there’s a pseudo-YMCA logo at the bottom (sort of); there’s the seal for the ever-famous University of California – Y.com, whose school motto is “we have change the game performance”; there’s the word CONTENDER at the top. If that’s not completely clear, let me know and I’ll try to explain it in Sanskrit, and it will probably make the same amount of sense.

I can’t think of anything I’d rather have printed sideways on my shoulder than “these words, have many word mantra mantra is a single.”

Ha, Pooh’s been demoted to “Bear.”

So exclusive, it’s just for all. Incidentally, a lot of shirts I see at the bazaar have the word “department” on them somewhere.

It helps if we start at the bottom with this one… the bagde-looking thing says “9 stations American ball champions 1993,” and now that you’re thinking about balls, consider what a “different shape national meeting” might be.

They were so close with this one. It appears to be a Halloween-themed shirt (never mind the timing; Turks have never heard of Halloween anyway and don’t care when it is). I get the “scary spider” and the “tric or treat” (we’ll forgive the spelling), but what the hell is “wan bino”? I swear if that shirt had been available in adult sizes I would have bought it. Wan Bino is my favourite holiday.

I’d love to have this shirt if only to make it my official air travel uniform.

I’ll be back tomorrow with the usual bits and pieces. Have a great evening.
