cheerfulIn my local post office there are these, well, strange, weird-arse postcards. It looks like a kangaroo and wedge-tail eagle, but upon closer inspection the kangaroo is dead. Roadkill in fact. And the eagle -? It's feeding on the carcass.
I'm dying to send these to people, so anyone interested? 'Cause really, there's no point in sending roadkill postcards to other Australians (unless any Australians so wish to see this)
I'd also love to put incredibly weird quotes on the back - say, something from Syliva Plath or TS Eliot - or quotes from movies and televsion shows that are no way related to the picture. Just so I can imagine the looks on the poor postal workers faces ('cause they'd read 'em. That's the whole point of postcards! It's legalised voyerism at it's best!)
For those not interested in dead animals, they do have lovely postcards of native flora. I could send you one of those instead.
So if you're interested (or if you have a friend who you think would get a kick getting artful pictures of Australian road-kill) just throw up your hand. I'll grab your address off you once I've grabbed the postcards.
But the native flora! That's the ticket. :-)
I'll track down a nice flora one (or a live animal :g:) and write something profound on the back. Or my shopping list. Either or.
You and me both! Not into roadkill. But pretty flora, definitely! Or weird flora. But no animal eating flora! ; )
::wondering if the Venus Flytrap is native to Australia::
I'll send you one, too, but I can't promise that I can find one that is quite that weird.
Yay, postcard! :-) I shall have to find something for you, though the postcard stock around here leans towards the Gettysburg, the Amish, and such like, and not towards the weird... Hmmm...
:-))) I also like touristy postcards. :-) My address is here; the entry is only visible for you and Erika, so you can safely leave yours in a comment if you want to. :-)
In case I can't find something weird, would you like a naked man postcard instead? (I can put it in an envelope if you don't want to shock your postman that way ;-) )
I'll grab 'em on Wednesday. And I shall try to imagine postal workers all over the world pondering these pictures.
