Start of Beach Week
Posted by Matt Cipriano | 1 Comment
So, as we get closer to Labor Day and the “end” of summer I figured it was a good idea to push beach week, just a little something so that folks can enjoy the last weeks of summer thinking about the beach- the warm sound, cool water and refreshing breeze- while they are sitting at their desks at work, staring at their computer screens.
To kick it off we have an interesting one from Rueter’s “Oddly Enough” section which touches not only on the beach, but also on Legos.
About 2 weeks ago now on the shores of Zandvoort, a Dutch resort, a head was seen bobbing up and down in the waters. Workers at the drink stand rushed out for the rescue and pulled in a lifesize Lego man.
Life-size? Well, they must grow them a bit bigger in Holland as the figure was about 8′ tall. But still, how random is that? The 8′ tall Lego’s torso says “No Real Than You Are” and was placed in front of the drink stand, almost as a icon of the valiant rescue by the stands workers. Talk about random.

As with Anna Karina, we prefer to remember the U.S.A as she was in the 1960s.

I wonder if they meant “no REALER than you are.” Does “No real than you are” make sense?
Also, yeah, I think the Dutch would look on an 8′ plastic dude as being merely “tall.”

“The people of the Netherlands are amongst the tallest in the world, with an average height of over 1.83 metres (6 ft) for adult males and 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) for adult females.”
