Googly eyes of death

For whatever reason (no, I wasn't drinking), I felt compelled to buy this at Swank Retro today:

It was labeled "heinous owl with glass eyes."

Sold.


Though, I'm starting to get a bit worried that they're starting an army, plotting and planning how they'll overthrow Queen Whiskeymarie:


I heard whispers of "poisoned Doritos" and "is there enough room in the freezer for the head too?"

If I go missing or am found floating face-down in a bathtub full of tapioca...

...it was the owls. Damn owls.

...or the cats. Damn cats.

...or the dog.

...or I drunkenly tripped and fell into my weekly "tapoica baptismal."

But my money's on the owls.

Hey WM,

I'll admit that I did jump back a tad but whoooo loves the lttle guy? I do. He looks good with the other hooters.

My screen keeps jumping! Weird!

Crap it did it again. I'm gone...

AHH! At first i thought it was an oversized cocktail ring and i was not happy with your decision. Now that I know it's a trinket, I like it.

I know art and THAT is art!

Which reminds me, I just happened to spot your birthday present the other day. I think it'll be a nice addition to Casa VonPartypants.

I was thinking the same thing as S.D. Those peepers look real!

It would be almost cute if the eyeballs didn't look like they were glued on too low...I'v heard of saggy boobs but not saggy peepers...

That glass eyed owl does look a bit sinister. I'd go to sleep with a shotgun, just to be on the safe side.

It's wall-eyed! Has Gwen met it yet?

Charm City Barfly said...

That is literally the coolest owl I've seen. The eyes follow you everywhere.

Gwen said...

LMAO @ Legal Mist!!!

As a birder, I can tell you that if I ever saw something that looked like that out in the field, I'd break my binoculars and stab my eyes out with the pieces.

Just sayin'.

STOP STARING AT ME!

It's a great big world
There's a million other guys
I feel so lucky when I look
In those green eyes

Is it the sun
That makes them so green
Those are the prettiest eyes
I have ever seen

Green eyes...

What makes them sparkle
What makes them shine
What makes those eyes of yours
Look into mine

Renaissance Woman said...

It does freak me out a bit but I also am oddly drawn to those eyes.
