Kitsch Is, After All, About Bad Taste... So Urine For A Treat

The Dutch has Heineken, St. Pauli's got its girl, but Brussels has their Manneken Boy -- and travelers apparently like to bring him home and make him dispense drinks.



While we still don't want to grab any coins out of it, the fountain makes more sense than the idea of recycled booze -- but, hey, Brussels doesn't sell itself like Vegas. So what happens in Brussels, comes back from Brussels.

All of this makes us wonder about the souvenir trinkets from Leaning Tower of Pisa.

This Squirrel Wants To Spoon

Cheetah Velour found this retro-squirrel of kitschy kitchen goodness.


I'm tempted to beat her up for it, but then she also found that cool Chuck Norris tee & it probably came with all sorts of skills.

1910 End of World Souvenir

Found at Ruby Lane, the Seller Says:

This is a very rare French postcard marking the mania over the approaching of Halley's Comet. Published in Germany (FM Cologne noted on back), the text is all in French and the card is described on the back as "the official souvenir card of the end of the world, the 19th of May, 1910." Quite strange, but the sender Lily looks like she followed her name with the word "aeroplane" and a long curving line .... imitating the tail of Halley's Comet. In the Zeppellin, the words are written "On s'en f..... pas mal!!" That's a little risque for Edwadian times....the f.... word stands for fessess or buttocks. The moon with the outstretched arms is saying, best I can understand, "It will be good to come here." "Good by and thanks" a man hanging onto an umbrella says. "Expedition to the moon: grand speed, 200 francs per blow (from the canon)." Le dernier salut" is French for "the last goodbye or salute."
