wasting bandwidth since 2005

I love finding this stuff on the side of the road out in the middle of nowhere. This particular sign was outside of Florence Arizona. The “Stop Rest Cafe” doesn’t look like it’s been in business for a while. The building was all boarded up about 30 yards behind this sign (like I needed that extra clue to figure out this place wasn’t in business). It’s more like the “Rest in Peace Cafe”. There is a lot of abandoned stuff out by Florence, which is better known for the nearby state penitentiary, gas stations, homes, cars, apartment complexes, and the occasional cafe.

Masto.

I must confess I much prefer the pin-ups of old to today’s. But I have to wonder what the appeal was supposed to be for a broad on a skin rug? Was this some kind of ceremonial totem that our forefathers needed to do the deed? I don’t remember seeing a “copulation skin” anywhere in our house or my grandparents for that matter. Maybe it’s one of those things that the original context has been long forgotten. Which means now we just get to endlessly poke fun at the whole idea.

PS. If you’re like me and for some strange reason looking at the above photo makes you start humming “The Look of Love” …this ones for you.
