 I've always wanted to drive the Wienermobile... Different brand, but that reminded me of this ad campaign:

Thinking about a designer hunched over a drawing table, deep into the night, the bone-white glow of a sleek floor lamp their only light. Stretching their hands after hours of detail work. Rubbing their eyes, gripping the bridge of their nose as the deadline nears. And finally, drawing themself up to full height—giving their shoulders a few good rolls, yawning with relief—to stand back and look upon a job well done.

One time I saw a Wienermobile just parked in an apartment complex. I saw it peaking over the surrounding wall and pulled over, thinking people would be taking pictures with it. Nope, it was alone and unguarded. So I snapped a few photos, but it was kind of surreal.

House on the Rock is peak Americana. Originally a private collection of random stuff, it gradually morphed into one of the oddest tourist traps in the country. Located in Southwest Wisconsin, the house is a funk/groovy 60s style structure built on and into a sandstone outcrop. You walk through it and think "that's it?". Nope, the weirdness just started. There is a looping trail through perhaps 6 warehouses, on the ground and suspended at various heights in each. It starts out with a dozen or so displays of automatically playing orchestras and calliopes.  Then several old-time streets. Think museum, but instead of not even making an attempt to educate the signage actively misleads you...  A giant, anatomically incorrect whale, fine. Why not make it 2x life size, the wrap a walkway around it so you can study the thing from all angles?  Linoleum covered car? Park it next to the one covered in doll heads...  It all blurs together long before you reach the end. Knights in armor, doll houses, carousel horses, steamship boilers, on and on, more and more. Worth seeing- once. https://www.thehouseontherock.com/

I went to the House on the Rock a few years ago, it was pretty neat but there was just way too much of the same stuff. A music machine is cool, but after the 5th one it's just like "ok yeah we've seen this lets just keep going". The infinity room was kind of terrifying because you could feel the room move, but it was surreal seeing it since a bunch of art classes I took used it as an example of a vanishing point.

I've got some pictures from a pow-wow I attended at the Menomonee rez back from when I was in college, if there's interest? We were able to attend because our professor is part of the tribe. I had another native an American professor who had taught us a common dance step, so I ended up being the only non-tribal member/relative who ended up dancing with everyone, it was pretty dope.

y’all should catch Weird Homes on Amazon Prime. It’s crusty 90’s TV but is chock full of stuff from the US and Canada. One guy, Andy MacDonald, has a property full of dummies he created. It turns out he wrote a few books, mostly of random stuff about growing up. I managed to get one from the library and the stories were pretty entertaining, if a bit random.

That is satire, right? It's all maga in theory but trump is in full military dictator pose with a chest full of medals he didn't earn and the wall is there but it looks like people are going both under and over it. God, the last decade has made interpreting political cartoons hard.

If there were jobs and a future out that way, I'd probably have gone back. Both places can be full of lovely people though, but some great weird folks you'd never meet anywhere else.

LOL, this pic brings back so many memories. I always loved to try new restaurants, but they always had the same decor of "random outdated pop references and antiques" nailed and strung up to wherever the eye can see. I swear when one of these places goes out of business, they just put it all in a giant crate and give it to the next guy opening a restaurant.
