It IS art, whatever was intended. Which was probably that a kid dropped their doll and blanket, it got run over and the head went down the sewer, then someone picked them up and put them on the post, out of the way.
(showing picture of the doll to my wife) Me: "Did you see this creepiness?" Her: "Yeah, didn't you see it before?" Me: "Huzzah wuzzah?" Her: "It was lying in the street for days. Someone must have picked it up." Me: "So probably a kid dropped their doll and blanket, it got run over and the head went down the sewer, then someone picked them up and put them on the post, out of the way?" Her: "Yeah, something like that probably." Me: "Oh."
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
Has anyone reported a doll missing? Oh, god, where's the head!?!?!?!
ReplyDeletePossibly art?
ReplyDeleteClearly a ritual sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe Doll Man and/or the Puppet Master moved into the neighborhood...
ReplyDeleteArt is what I was thinking. Or prank.
ReplyDeleteMy part of town is less artsy, more fartsy.

The red blanket made me think it was supposed to look like blood, so someone left it there to upset passing motorists.
ReplyDeleteOr the doll represents childhood and the blanket "blood" represents the way imagination is drained from us by corporate America.
ReplyDeleteIt forces you to drive by, and makes you realize that in doing so we are all complicit.
ReplyDeleteIn a way, I put that doll on that post.
