Museum of Oddities
by littlemissaverage @ 2007-05-11 - 09:10:13

Whilst we were away for the weekend we took the boys to a Victorian Extravaganza in Llandudno for the day. One of the sideshows was a "Museum of Oddities". As I've always been fascinated by the old "freak" shows we decided to have a look. The "Museum of Oddities" consisted of a papier mache shrunken head, the worlds tiniest bible, alien twins in a jar (even I knew they weren't real ;) ), a plastic "sewer" alligator and some other crap. No bearded ladies, no wolf boys, no elephant man :yawn:
What a bloody disappointment. I've got more "oddities" in my house. For example Harry has a giant pork scratching that he keeps in a bag (yeah I have no idea why either!!), Jeff has a life-form growing in a mug in his bedroom and I'm sure there's something living under my bed :roll:
But nothing tops the day my Grandad took my Dad when he was a little boy. One of the sideshows was a "real live pixie". My Dad said it was just a little man sitting there with a pack of cigarettes next to him on a stool, who said to them "You've had a look - now bugger off!!" :>> :))

For those who believe, no explanation is neccessary. For those who do not, none will suffice. Dr Harry's, come and make up your own mind....
