Our topic this week is weird stuff in our town. I couldn’t find anything relating to the supernatural as suggested by Collins English Dictionary. And the trouble, for me, about strange or bizarre is what I think is odd may be perfectly normal for someone else (and often is) and vice versa.
But I found a few things that fit the bill for me. Pink sheep not only look weird, I think it is downright wrong to do that to them but you can’t argue that they catch the eye of passersby at Sheepworld.
I happened across a gathering of vintage cars last weekend and this one caught my eye:
And this one. Maybe not weird to you, but I’ve certainly never seen a motor like this up close before and the owner didn’t object to me saying it was weird. In fact he seemed quite amused (laughing up his sleeve perhaps?)
To see what's weird in other peoples towns, just pop over here.
WHY are those sheep pink? And WHAT is that animal in the second picture? ... Weird ... ;)

ReplyDeleteMaybe they dipped the sheep in some kind of, uh, sheep dip...you know,a medicinal kind of thing? That would have caught my eye, too! And what, indeed is that hanging off of the yellow car? A wombat?

Pink sheep? do they come in other colors too? lol
ReplyDeleteNow I would just have posted a picture of me - at least that's what my kids say - 'Don't talk to my Dad, he's weird and he blogs!'
ReplyDeleteYup - those all qualified as weird!
ReplyDeleteI agree....the Pink Sheep is so Weirdly Wrong...but yes, an attention grabber! I was just wondering if the rest of the coon skin cap was in the car...that's funny! Great photos!
ReplyDeletethe pink sheep are very eye catching, would have to do a double take on that pass by. the car shot made me giggle. very cute!
ReplyDeletePink sheep, yikes!!! I hope it is not the gang of spray painting sheep at strike again. A coule of years ago, some rascals went to One Tree Hill and sprayed the sheep red.
ReplyDeleteYour vintage cars must have assembled in Kumeu on Friday for this weekend. My Taiwanese friends were driving rouund about here when they first noticed so many vintage cars.
Do you like car shows or cubs? My colleage's husband is one and they travel the whole of NZ.A lot of fun.
Pink Sheep! Wow, I had to look twice. I love it and I agree the engine looks weird as well.

Oh I remember going past the coloured sheep. That's definitely weird, and is it just me, or do they look pretty pissed off about the whole thing?
ReplyDeleteI have seen sheep wearing pink coats after they are sheared but not pink sheep!
