WTF! Tuesday, I mean Wednesday

I spotted this lovely frame some time ago at a Louisville Goodwill. Yes, a high quality, tasteful gift for that naughty female poodle in your life! Or perhaps a place to just keep a photo of your X. Of course, it would work wonders for someone with the initials B-I-T-C-H. And, last, but certainly nor least, don't buy it, but instead prop it up on a shelf near that oblivious woman who blocks the thrift aisles and stares for what seems like hours at a chipped, scary faced clown knick knack that belongs on the next installment of WTF! Tuesdays....So many options!

WTF?! Tuesdays: Body Parts

This week's WTF?! Tuesdays items was actually purchased by me at the KY Flea Market. I think it is fabulous. It set me back a whopping $3! In line, a lady saw me carrying it and said, "I looked at that!" I replied, "I know! Isn't is cool?"

Maybe I have mentioned before, but I possess degrees in biology and chemistry. I even went to a school that churns out doctors. However, my expertise was in environmental biology (with a couple of sides in anthropology). I had to take a couple of medical-ish biology courses, including anatomy, but can't say I loved them much. I much prefered being wild out in nature. I do, however, love vintage teaching tools. I drooled over the model eye, the flowery uterus and the heart in my classes. I wanted them all just for the kitschy-ness of them.

So, I found this gem buried beneath a bunch of junk in a booth (I found the Made in Japan collie wall art in the same booth) and I gasped when I saw it. It has a weird brown gunk inside it (perhaps another topic for a future WTF?!) and the parts in front (or back?) move slightly. This brings us to why I chose this wonderful item for WTF?! Tuesdays. I need to know: WTF is it? Any budding anatomists out there want to help me out? I thought knee at first, but ruled it out. Maybe the back of the throat and those two projections are tonsils? I just cannot positively ID the model!

I am thinking I need to retake some of my classes, but meanwhile, this mysterious body part is joining my little collection of vintage classroom study aids. Check out other thrifty mysteries and creepy stuff over at Sir Thrift A Lot's great blog!

WTF?! Tuesdays: Weepy the Wee Wee

Oh, do I have a good one for WTF?! Tuesdays this week! Meet Weepy the Wee Wee (ah, the alliteration of it all!) I love the impish boy's smile as his sweet pee pee toy sprays all over you in line at the Krogers. Keep him occupied while you pay your debts at the bank. Thank the makers of Weepy for steppin' up the family fun on holidays.

I left the GW price sticker on it because I know you are going to ask why I didn't snatch Weepy right off the shelf. Yes, that would be $5 and some change. I call this the Expensive GW in Louisville (the one on E. Shelbyville for you locals) and I only stop in now and then to drool over great things for horrible prices.

I have made it a new challenge to look for the kooky items while thrifting for this fabulous linky party at Sir Thrift A Lot. It keeps the hoarding to a minimum.

Wtf?! Tuesdays

OK, so we are on Wednesday, but I finally found something to share! I know it is blurry (I used the phone), but how about learning how to raise children at home in your spare time. And look how "children" is in black like you could substitute anything for a series (African violets! Guppies!) Could be the start of a really fun hobby. My only question: um, where do you raise them the rest (majority) of the time? Check out Sir-Thrift-Alot's other atrocities this week. Scary stuff (especially the "Butt Ugly" couch and pee globe-eew!)
