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."
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
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.
