In light of the global instances and ramifications of quirkiness, chickenmonkeydog has put a man in the field to rove the globe and seek out the off-beat occurrences around the world.

Conall will be in and around Asia for the next two months, and you can follow his exploits at www.conalldempsey.com. If any of you chickenmonkeydog readers happen to be in south east Asia during May or June of 2009, drop us an email and perhaps Conall will pay you a visit!

Note, Conall seems to be starting to dress a bit like Shredder, so if you are a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, you might want to hold off on trying to meet with him.

Er, nice dinner suit

Today’s post comes to us from a reader from London who recently returned from a holiday in New York City. Although our faithful reader could not recall the exact location of Ted’s Formal Wear, we thought his photo was priceless. If the shirts hanging from the awning fits Ted’s definition of formal, we would love to see his casual wear!

Many thanks to our London reader for the submission. Don’t forget: you too can email through your photos and observations for posting on chickenmonkeydog.

Not so fast …

So all you speed-demon soccer (or is it basketball?) players better make sure you keep your speed under fifteen miles per hour if you want to play in THIS alley.

White Castle Sale

A White Castle I passed had this sale advertised:

Let me get this right. If I make a purchase, I can then buy 3 cheeseburgers for $2.  Isn’t that itself a purchase?

And what do you mean “any 3 cheeseburgers”? Can I come in the back and pick the ones I want? Will you be selecting three at random? Perhaps you’ll sell me one left-over from yesterday, one from McDonald’s and one that the patron in the corner just took a bite out of?

Office of Oversized Toothbrushes

If you’re scared of the dentist already, can you imagine the fear you’d have if he came at you with a toothbrush that stands a foot or two taller than himself?!

Now, take that increased agitation and apply the fact that this super-sized toothbrush wielding maniac is “always there”!  You may or not see him, but the dentist will always be watching you, noting when you floss and when you don’t.  Did you snack on some candy this morning? Don’t bother lying…he was watching then too.  Creepy.

I wonder what other professions would change dramatically with super-oversized implements.
