I just need to find the directions to this holy grail.

Weird

I like visiting weird and/or odd and/or novelty places. Largest ball of ear wax kind of things. I want to visit a new weird/odd/novelty thing a year for the rest of my life.

I want to get an RV and do a big gay tour of the USofA. We shall stop and see the biggest ball of string, the white cow, the two headed pig....and leave gay rainbow stuff everywhere.

My Sweetie and I want to do a "Mom and Pop Diners" tour: an RV towing a motorcycle, doing all the small towns and secondary roads. We want to do all the little local spots to eat and collect as many diner T-shirts as we can. "Eating Across America" we'll call it!

you could always do pics of you two eating at the diners and call it "eating lesbians". you could sell it in a plain brown wrapper. (just an odd little fantasy of mine...it's all about marketing)

oh oh oh...or call it "girls eating out" or somesuch.

You want pitchers of your wives in a book called "Eating Lesbians"?

Hey! Why don't you come along and take the aforementioned pitchers?

you know, if we were to organize enough folks for this tour, we could call it the "gypsy queeravan".

i smell potential here. bent and adele could do the writing and i'd be happy to work the cameras.

who has the sign up sheet?

You should all have a goal to get your photograph taken in front of the above monstrosity. I did it.

God, I need to scan that picture!

Just outside of Montgomery, Ala., there is a place with probably the world's most crosses. I had a journalism prof who moonlighted for the National Enquirer and did a story on it. I've been there many times. Dude has crosses made out of all kinds of stuff and LOTS of them.

OMG! That's the boll weevil statue. It's the only town statue in the country dedicated to an insect (at least as far as I know). I've been through there a million times. Gotta love Enterprise. It was erected as a tribute because if it hadn't been for the boll weevil, the stubborn Southerners wouldn't have diversified crops from cotton.

Sweet!

Been there. It is kind of eerie.

In Ontario, near Colborne. Apparently it's the biggest apple-shaped structure in the world.

Aim high, Colborne. Clearly you are a people who had a dream.

Yeah, me and some friends drove all the way to Alabama like 10 years ago because we wanted our pictures taken with that statue so badly. It was a fun trip.

But then we were like....."so now what?"

*shrug*

Been there. Took creepy pictures of the creepy Jesus. They came out all weird and shadowy. That was the one and only time I stopped.

An ex and I took a two week vacation to travel to the east coast and back by car one year. Our goal was to stop at all the weird McDonald's we could find. The world's largest on the OK turnpike. The riverboat McD's in St. Louis. There were a few more.

One random/weird goal I still have is to take pics of all the weird stuff I see when traveling down a major interstate and put a book together with the stories behind it. Like the hot & cold water towers I saw somewhere along I-40 I think it was. Well, these days it might just be a website.

Enchantress · 06-03-2010, 08:47 PM

I want to have coppery red long(ish) hair.

Strangely that's all I've got this evening.

I LOVE weird McDonalds and have been to that one in St Louis!

Have you by chance visited the one that's in a caboose in Arizona?

I have not been to the caboose! I must find that before my next desert trip!

I'm currently fascinated by the McDonalds they put in convenience stores. Like this little 76 gas stations with like a full McD's complete with two drive up windows. They're all over the place up here. It's like the clown car of fast food.

Effingham, IL.

I've actually been there, too. On that trip we took. We stopped there and ate at a Bob Evans kinda place right at dinner time. That's the very first time I remember walking into a crowded restaurant and it going dead silent. As if controlled by one brain, a huge restaurant full of very, very, very white people (most all wearing John Deere caps) turned in unison to stare at me with gaping mouths as I walked to our table. I tried to convince K it was her they were looking at because she was so beautiful in that little sun dress. I did not go to the bathroom there.

Waldo, being the traveler that you are I am guessing you've seen this. I've been here many times and some of you might recognize the t-rex from one of my favorite movies "Pee Wee's Big Adventure."
Found near Palm Springs, CA.
