Me and My Imaginary Friends

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

A-tisket A-tasket

A-tisket a-tasket
A green and yellow basket
I wrote a letter to my love
And on the way I dropped it

I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes, on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And took it to the market

She was truckin' on down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She was peck, peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the ground

A-tisket a-tasket
She took my yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I shall die

Odd little ditty, that. But very apropos to what happened to me on the way to work yesterday. I was zooming down the highway when there was suddenly a little traffic jam in an odd place. There is never traffic in this particular place. I quickly saw the problem - two GINORMOUS baskets were sitting in the road. People had to swerve to get around them. Being the quick thinker that I am, I pulled out my camera phone and snapped a pic for you. (I'm always thinkin' about y'all.)



Now what on earth could be kept in those baskets? Can you tell that it is as wide as my car is tall? Just after I passed this basket, a lady in a minivan pulled up behind it and got out of her car. I don't know if she was going to try to move it off to the side or shove it in her car to take it home. Perhaps she was thinking, "That'll hold my husband's laundry!"

I also think it's awesome-riffic that my Strongbad static cling can be seen in this shot. Surely he could think of a use for a basket that large...

I so miss those days of napping during the middle of the day. Now, I have to shut my office door to do it!
