John sent me quite a few photos from the St. Johns county Flea Market in St. Augustine, Florida. We agree, this one is the best. I wonder what it's really boiled in??
If you are worried about the sketchy "milk," just go to the vendor right behind them; they apparently boil their corn in regular milk. And, by the way, is this a common phenomenon--boiling corn in either pretend or real milk? We use what we like to call water at our house.
Actually the "milk" could be from the corn, not cow/goat/yak, hence the quotes. That's what we hicks call the white, liquid stuff in each kernel of corn.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Considering the sort of semi-literate vendors that populate flea markets it's not surprising they'd misplace a few quotes.
You really do not want to ask.
Remember that episode of The Simpsons where they find out that Fat Tony is selling Rat Milk to the school? I bet THAT is what they mean by "milk"

My favorite part is that the sign in the background has quotes, too.
Got "Milk"?
(Somebody had to say it.)
