While I’m traveling, lots of random thoughts pop into my brain. Each week I share a few. Apologies for a photo-heavy post this week!

I giggle every time someone refers to a person from Vienna as a Wiener.

I was walking by a horse-drawn carriage and heard the horse cough. I’m curious if the driver’s name is “Horskoff?”

Duran Duran sandwiches: For When You’re Hungry Like a Wolf.

It was really disappointing to find out that when you order a Vienna sausage, it doesn’t come packed in a tiny can with tons of salt water.

Okay, there are an inordinate number of statues in Vienna of men beating the shit out of things. Freud should have started his career here holding anger management sessions.
Man beating up a bull.
Man beating up a horse. I call this a Blazing Saddles rip-off.
Man beating up another man, apparently because he parked illegally in a disabled parking spot.
Man who’s beaten up a giant fish and is showing off to a woman, who he also looks ready to beat up if she’s not impressed enough.
Man beating up a mutant three-headed snake. Okay, I’d beat that thing up, too.
Angel beating up another angel. Tonight! In the Octagon! The Ultimate Sera-fighting Championship finals!

On reflection, it was probably a tactical mistake to tell the attractive Austrian waitress that the only German I speak is what I learned from scheisse videos.

I claim this planet in the name of Mars!

Best music store ever. Evidently they not only sell musical instruments, they also teach you how to accompany the music with armpit noises.

I bought my first scarf in 25 years. It’s really nice to have something so conveniently located when my nose is stuffed up.

A nice statue honoring Mozarrrr… uh… WTF are those babies doing?!?!?

Vienna Boys Choir. That’s all. I couldn’t come up with a good joke about it, but since it’s a punchline in the acts of thousands of comedians, I figured throwing it in couldn’t hurt.
I really have to learn to NOT be drinking any liquid while reading your brain drops! I almost drenched my poor notebook while reading I was laughing so hard about the music store.
I love how your mind works

Thanks Catia – it’s healthy to cleanse your nostrils with a caffeinated beverage once in a while.
LOL.. So glad to see you cranking the creative juices out. This is great!

Thanks Jeannie, I’m glad you appreciate my bizarre sense of humor.
Lol, I never look at statues that closely, but I’ll be sure to do so in future

Wait until I post the one I saw in Munich. Just wandering around when “hello! WTF?”
That’s a tease…
Wiener! I would laugh too!

I giggled like a fiend reading this. Those statues are just too much. And…Marvin! Long time, no see!

I wasn’t sure how many people would get that one. I thought about photoshopping Bugs Bunny into it but that may have been beating it a bit too hard.
I just got back from Vienna- this post is awesome!!!

Thanks! I should probably do another post that actually talks about the city – I’m way behind on those. How did you like it?
Dude, awesome… where do you come up with this stuff? If only I could be as clever and witty…

I don’t consider it clever and witty nearly as much as naive and absurd.
I hadn´t read your brain droppings until this one, not I have to go back and read them all. Great stuff and wonderful pics!
