There's a sewer monster living underneath Cameron Village. There's a man in Moore Square who plays football all by himself. Somewhere in Raleigh, we've heard, there's a kudzu vine that looks just like Alfred Hitchcock. These small marvels don't always fit inside a regular newspaper. A lot of them are too funny for those highfalutin' pages. So we've tucked him in here, where they'll be safe. Take a look and let us know about the oddities in your life. We'll show up and snap a picture.

Keeping baby happy: TV in the grocery cart

Bookmark and Share

Proving that there is no place that an enterprising marketer won't shove a television, behold the VeggieTales grocery cart:

I saw this the other day at a Kroger in suburban Atlanta. I apologize for not snapping a better picture, but the thing was kinda shoved into a corner.

In essence, it is a small TV monitor with a grocery cart built around it. Open the door, buckle junior into the bottom of it, and go about your shopping.

Theoretically, he will be mesmerized enough by the singing vegetables that he will not bother you about buying gummi bears and cupcakes.

If he bugs you about buying VeggieTales DVDs, well, that's just the price you pay.
