Fallen branch

I happened upon this fallen branch on my way to campus. It looked like maybe it landed on a car...But it was a near-miss.
You can see where the branch broke. It didn't look singed by lightning. Maybe a curious and overweight raccoon had a surprising midnight stroll.


This post's theme word: avoirdupois, "heaviness or weight of a person."
I wrote this post like Stephen King..

Apostrophe use

I was pleased to find this sign in Chinatown:You see, the DVDs belong to the adults! I can't determine if the adults who own the DVDs are of all nationalities, or if the DVDs themselves are of all nationalities. (I think it's clear what the sign intends, but I like these other possibilities.)


This post's thematically-related comic:I wrote this post like Cory Doctorow.
