We're Switching to TSU

We started off on Blogger many months ago, and we've been using other social media platforms to drive in traffic. Our goal was to generate income from Google AdSense. So far, we've only been using tsu to post links to our blogs. But tsu has generate far more revenue in a short time than AdSense has generated in a much longer time. Therefore, we are going to start moving all of our content over to tsu, posting all new content on tsu, and directing all other social media traffic to tsu. As of this moment, tsu is officially our new blogging platform. Please join us at www.tsu.co/realbloggerx.

Infant on Board?

This is not Photoshopped. This is a real sign found in a real car window. And while it is common for families with infants to have vehicle signs indicative of such, we have never seen one featuring an assault rifle silhouette. We could joke about how this would make sense if the sign said "teenage daughter on board," but we have no idea what this could even remotely imply in relation to an infant.

Armed Security

We've seen security guards in shopping malls before. In fact, due to the number of people around, we'd like to think that every shopping mall would have at least some degree of security in place. We've even seen armed security before, but only at banks and high-end jewelry stores. So that's why this armed security guard at a Jollibee fast food restaurant got our attention. And, no, he wasn't there to eat. He was standing guard by the front door the entire time we were there.

Cactus Chocolate

We don't know how many people have eaten cactus before, but we had never tried it prior to finding this package in a store. Not only were we unaware that people even eat cactus, but we were also unaware that cacti were either grown in or imported into South Korea. Regardless, and maybe the dark chocolate coating helps, we thought that this was a very tasty treat. It was relatively expensive, but definitely worth the experiment.

Don't flush!

This may look like a toilet, and people may flush dead fish down toilets, but, if you look closely, this fish is not dead. In fact, this isn't really a toilet. In reality, this is one of many unusual exhibits at an aquarium.

Harmless Road Rage

This seems like a good, creative, harmless alternative to traditional road rage. While you are stuck in traffic, or after you've been cut off, or whatever else makes you angry behind the wheel, you can imagine employing overwhelming firepower without actually hurting anyone.

Chastity Belt, Revisited

Although this lock is presumably meant to protect merchandise, not a young woman's chastity, its placement is reminiscent of a Renaissance-era chastity belt.

This is a truly bad idea.

This is a street-side vending machine in northeastern South Korea. We think it is a grossly irresponsible idea to teach anyone to play with an object, in this case a speaker system, that looks like an artillery shell especially when you are within artillery range of North Korea. Although most war casualties are obviously from exploded ordinance, many additional casualties result from people, including children, who handle ordinance that was supposed to explode earlier, but for whatever reasons haven't detonated yet.

No rabbits allowed.

This sign was photographed prior to boarding a river cruise in the Central Visayas, Philippines. Not only can you not bring typical pets, such as dogs and cats, you can also not bring birds and rabbits. And while the dog image is featured the most prominently, suggesting that they are the most commonly brought, we noticed that pet rabbits must be fairly common considering that a rabbit is the only animal displayed twice.

Candy Feces?

Lift up this plastic cow's tail and candy comes out of its backside. Why would that appeal to anyone?

Little Pink X's

You may have to look closely to see all of the pink X's in this photo, but 5 of the 8 visible piano keys are marked this way to indicate that they no longer function. If the rest of the keys were visible you would see many more X's.

FREE Beer!!!

Notwithstanding our slightly-misleading title, the grocery section of this Lotte Mart in Gunsan (군산시), North Jeolla Province (전라북도), South Korea (대한민국) was offering free beer samples to promote sales.

Forget Bluetooth. Go old school.

Maybe you're nostalgic.

Maybe the form is just more comfortable than having a flat cellphone against your head or an earbud with a short microphone protruding from your ear.

Whatever the reason, you can plug this headset into your smartphone and make/receive calls in almost the old fashioned way.

Hair Shop?

This is a hair shop in Gunsan (군산시), North Jeolla Province (전라북도), South Korea (대한민국). Or, is it? Despite the main signage, it looks like you can buy onions, papayas, speakers, books, belts, and many other things here, but we don't see the space, equipment, or other signage to indicate that you could actually get a haircut here.

Headset into Speaker

This is a portable speaker that plugs into the headphones jack of your electronic device. As cool as that is, what caught our attention is the headphones jack in the speaker itself. Because the speaker seems too small and underpowered to daisy chain, or to plug one speaker into another to increase total output, and because the cord length is so short, we don't know why anyone would plug a headset into this speaker instead of directly into the electronic device. Why try to listen to something quietly while the exact same audio is playing for everyone to hear? And if the speaker mutes with a headset plugged in, why not, again, just plug the headset directly into the electronic device?

Banana-Flavored Bananas

From Tabok, Mandaue City, Cebu Province, Philippines, this is a bag of banana-flavored bananas for when your bananas don't taste enough like bananas.

Y-Man

To a group of elementary school boys, one of these superheroes is "Y-Man."

Mermaid

This mermaid sand sculpture was photographed along the boardwalk in Atlantic City, Atlantic County, New Jersey, circa 2001-2007.

An Unusual Practice Exam Question

This is an actual practice exam question for CompTIA A+ certification.

This is the 90's.

This screen capture of our Tumblr settings was taken last week on April 21, 2015. If you look just above the middle of this image, to the right of "Dial-a-post," you will see the statement, "this is the 90's."

Kids Love Australian Beef

Apparently, kids love Australian beef. We don't know where McDonald's gets it's beef, but we're pretty sure kids love that beef, too.

North Korean torpedo

Photographed at the War Memorial of Korea (전쟁기념관), Yongsan Ward (용산동), Yongsan District (용산구), Seoul Special City (서울시), South Korea (대한민국), this is the remnants of the North Korean torpedo that sank the ROKS Cheonan (PCC-772) on March 26, 2010.

Philippines Shooting Range

Photographed in Panglao, Bohol, Philippines, this sign advertises a shooting range. However, while the top photo looks like a fairly typical shooting range, the bottom photo certainly does not.

Vietnamese Peter Pan

This is a Vietnamese language edition of the classic children's adventure Peter Pan. What made this find unusual is that this is at the public library (도립도서관) in Andong (안동시), North Gyeongsang Province (경상북도), South Korea (대한민국), and there is no noticeable Vietnamese community in this city. The second thing that got our attention is the cover. The image is a male figure who is smoking a cigar, carrying an open bottle of liquor, and walking through a rat-infested alley. We'll be honest: we haven't read a Peter Pan novel nor watched a Peter Pan play in a while, but we're not sure how this imagery fits into this memorable tale.

American Larry "The Cable Guy" Fan

Photographed near Fort George G. Meade, Anne Arundel County, State of Maryland, United States of America, the owner of this vehicle must be a serious Larry "The Cable Guy" fan to have his "git-r-done" catchphrase emblazoned so prominently on his vehicle, even though the spelling on the vehicle does not match the official spelling of the catchphrase.

Korean Fire Extinguishers

Photographed at a nursing home in Damyang County (담양군), South Jeolla Province (전라남도), South Korea (대한민국), these green containers are fire extinguishers. Unlike fire hoses and the familiar red fire extinguishers, both which require operators to potentially remain in harm's way while they aim the nozzles at their respective fires, this type of fire extinguisher is thrown into a fire and left there. Because it does not require any active operation, the thrower may immediately leave for safety.

Philippines house with a face?

Photographed in Loboc, Bohol, Republic of the Philippines, we think that the roof of this building was looking back at us. And even though this building does not have "ears," the "teeth" make this look like the face of some kind of rodent. And why anyone would want to design a roof to look like a rat we will never know.

Vietnamese coffee from squirrel droppings?

This is Vietnamese coffee purportedly made from beans that have passed, intact, through the digestive tracts of squirrels.
