At the moment when you go to the msn website, which is my home website, they have a news story about the opening of ‘Ripleys London Odditorium’: the newest edition to Ripley’s empire of the strange. They’ve got a bunch of them in the states and I bet the buildings probably look a hell of a lot cooler than the Trocadero centre and the weak dollar means its probably cheaper, but fuck it I’m going to go for sure. Yeah it would definitely be better if there were real people instead of models, but if this newspaper cartoonist turned ’Indiana Jones style’ artefact collector Mr Ripley is as good as they say he is then I bet it’ll be fucking awesome anyway, I’m told they have a mirror maze too and I figure I’m finally old enough to master its tricks and not go running headlong into the mirrors like I used to.
As soon as I saw the little hairy faced chap that provides the link from msn to the Odditorium website I also got to thinking of all the things I would put in an Odditorium if I were to make one here are some of them:
2 Headed Girl – On first inspection I was like fuck off that that is CLEARLY two kids in the same jumper, then I realised it wasn’t and just thought ‘this is amazing please tell me its true.’ I hate people who think their jokers and put really well done fake videos on youtube, dupe you into thinking its real and then shatter your dreams. I guess I am so sensitive about it due to my ‘real ghost hunting video’ days and there are a lot of fuckers involved in that shit. Anyway it is true and they have the science in the video to back it up: I guess technically it is just a form of Siamese twin-ism but to look at it is essentially a two headed girl, and that’s good enough for me.
Zombie – I like his attitude this guy is white trash to the core. Here’s this interview I found on him: http://www.bmezine.com/news/guest/20080318.html
One question in this basically sums him up: BME: Facial tattoos are a big step from “regular” tattoo placement. How long had you thought it through before you started your facial tattoos?
Never really had to think about it… I’ve been white trash my whole life…
Tree-Man – To be honest I wouldn’t put this guy in any kind of sideshow he has had enough of everything. It would feel like dressing a dog up – their sad eyes suck all the fun out of it.
