Hi!
The Bear Committee (see
http://greta.electric.gen.nz/~nikster/bearcom.html if you're not
familiar) has decided to run a fun competition to name their newest
bear cub minion/crony/ally that signed up over here. Answers please to either
nikster@greta.electric.gen.nz or www.flickr.com/photos/ahkitj/82419215/ -- a prize of a Committee-endorsed lunch
(bought from The Kiosk at VUW, or other Committee-approved
establishment of course) with Nikster, Little Albert Kenby-Bear, new
cub and their hฤkeretari is on offer to the winner. If the names are
good.
In order to help you select the best name, fourteen photos (taken with
Tiny Albert Kenby-Bear, one of its brothers) is attached; [the] new cub is the white-furred bear with the blue scarf. Deadline for
entries is when the bear's named. Which could be in the next five
minutes, so you'd better hurry.
Good luck!
Bear hugs,
Nikster's hฤkeretari (for Nikster, who's actually on holiday somewhere
in Wellington).
NB: no shaggy fur from [the] new cub was lost in the shooting
of the pictures. Just so you know; new cub wanted that mentioned.

Astoundingly ugly stuffed raccoon-and-peanut-shell item. Is it kitsch art?!?
Saw this at the Round Top Antiques Fair with my mother this October.
Gotta sort out some photos to post; been a busy week! Have a seat while ya wait.
-this is exactly where I found this thing! Damn near tempted to drag it home at the time.
I took cow-orker Martin on a tour of Weird stuff warehouse.
They had some stacked up SGI machines. The one on top is an Indy, the one underneath it is an Indy branded as a Tandem (which I find interesting), and then you have an Indigo2.
Presumably from the 70's, this is how they should make electronics. Silver faceplate, clean fonts, black/silver controls. Dig it.
When you come from Toronto and say you saw something weird, that carries some weight! This cool...sculpture is one of the stack of eye candy at the Trading Post/ Frontier Village north of Saulte Ste. Marie.
Bring a camera.
By the time I went past the mannequins featured in the previous photograph, they'd undressed one completely. I think the sunglasses were painted and or moulded on during production, though.
Closing off this weird stuff streak for now, here's a couple of mechanical buddies I met on my street after closing time at The Axis.
Whenever we travel we look for unusual stuff. We also like street art and popping into art galleries and interesting stores. This album is mix of all that from a trip we took to Barcelona, Spain, in January 2025. What a beautufil city - I would go back there again!
Given the phone-like interface and "sales" label, I think this was likely used by a telemarketing firm.
Aahh.. the convenience of being able to buy a fine gift for that special someone while one's car is getting a lube job. Ajo, AZ.

Continuing with entertaining signs and ending the series of weird stuff photos (finally !) I present this gem. Yes, it's easier to see someone through a glass door than a wooden one...
