How scary and weird is this photo?

The people they're posing with are supposedly people they met on the 101 freeway who were having car problems, and they stopped and helped them and waited while a tow truck came. I'm paraphrasing here, I'm not sure of the exact story. (There's a link to the AP wire report on the World of Wonder article that I linked to below the photo in this post.)

But, like, it looks like the photo was taken INSIDE OF A GYM.

Erik said...

And that is SO WEIRD to me.

Erik said...

It brings up so many questions.

Erik said...

Like, did they wait with these people for a tow truck INSIDE OF A GYM?

Erik said...

And where did they find a gym on the 101 freeway?

Erik said...

And why are the people that had car trouble dressed like clowns?

Erik said...

And they aren't even dressed like circus clowns, they're dressed like artsy fartsy dreamscape Fellini clowns.

Erik said...

Or something.

Erik said...

It's just weird and that's all I have to say about it. Any thoughts?

Dude.

I'll give you first.

Besides, I left ten comments so that when your technically eleventh but spiritually and emotionally first comment appeared, it would still end in a "1".

Well, see...

I just took a walk and came back to your blog to see if you had responded to my other comment. But then I see this new freaky deaky pic (did you see the crotches of their costumes? or rather the lack thereof? I suppose one might venture to call them "crotchless."). And then I start thinking "I can totally get first." But then I see the number of comments. But then I look at the time of the post and I think to myself, "Maybe this is one of those times when Erik posts and then decided to comment on his own post over and over and maybe I will still be first."

And, lo and behold, I WAS.

You are nothing if not consistent.

I love that. I think you might know me better than I know me.

And I think we can go so far as to call their outfits crotchless. We have to call them something. Every time I look at them I'm like, WHAT IS UP WITH THOSE CIRCLES WHERE THEIR CROTCHES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE?!!?

Also - check out how crappy stars look when they get off the plane after not having any liquids or gels available to to primp themselves back up to presentable. Tragic.

It's so true! The clowns look better than they do! Despite the weird crotch areas!

Erik said...

Okay, so burn on me: this is NOT a photo of them with whoever they apparently helped who had car trouble.

This is a photo of them with two members of the newest Cirque du Soleil show.

But it's still a freak-deak picture. And I still think it's weird that they're apparently posing in a gym. Is Cirque du Soleil performing at the Y now?

NO EXCUSE.
