Seen In Passing

SIP will be back soon!

2011-03-04T11:22:00.003-05:00

SIPSTERS! Have you been wondering where SIP has been? SIP has been taking some time off to work on itself and an added enhancement to the site. We hope to re-launch VERY SOON, and to kick things off, we'll make the first update an INTERNATIONAL edition. Thank you for your continued support (we're still receiving pictures all the time, and they are GRRRRRRRRRREAT! THANK YOU!). Look forward to reconnecting with you! KEEP ON SIP-ing! :o)

What were Buzz Lightyear and his friend [you tell me who he is!] doing in a popular clubbing destination of London in a random early September night? [UBER] Early Halloween party? Preparing to save the world? Apparently, just taking a stroll and window-shopping!

And the WINNER [of the 1st Caption Contest] IS........

2010-02-26T15:39:00.005-05:00

ALL the entries were OUTSTANDING and I'd like to THANK all those who participated. There will be a Caption Contest EVERY OTHER WEEK, so please keep entering!

THANK YOU SO MUCH AREL for this his first contribution to the site! You're now officially a SIPster.

Which?! I WANNA KNOW WHICH!!!

2010-02-22T01:26:00.002-05:00

If it's "FOR A REASON" I wanna know which, tell me, please!

Flowers have feelings too!

2010-02-22T01:24:00.003-05:00

The London cold proved too much for these flowers, and they were taken inside to keep them warm...!

When and where?

2010-02-22T01:22:00.003-05:00

I'm ready... THANK YOU NADINE, amazingly faithful SIPster and contributor, for yet another gem! Stay snapping what you see!

Deeeeeeeeez Nuts!

2010-02-22T01:11:00.005-05:00

Truck owners everywhere enjoy dressing up their cars -- they all got balls! Left balls belong to a DC truck, which are certainly quite frozen balls, Right balls belong to a NY truck. This double-feature was made possible by the one and only La ParLatina (http://parlatina.blogspot.com). THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION!

You're not lying!

2010-02-22T01:08:00.003-05:00

Advocates of license plates for color-blind police officers everywhere are digging this driver's concept.

PROTECT THE FAN!

2010-02-22T01:07:00.003-05:00

London Metro: Nobody in their right minds could try to steal such a humongous fan. It's okay to let it out of the cage!

See the individual at the [driver's side] window!

2010-02-22T01:06:00.003-05:00

If you've got any complaints, drive up to the car and submit them with the driver!

Serenity now -- no spell-check included!

2010-02-22T01:05:00.002-05:00

Still a great network name! haha.

Bark if you're having one!

2010-02-22T01:00:00.005-05:00

What you don't see that I couldn't capture in the picture? THE DOG hanging off the side of the car!!!

Food Consumption Confusion

Best.T-Shirt.EVER to stay entertained in JFK. His religious beliefs are RIGHTEOUS! PREACH!!

Yes ma'am!

2010-01-29T18:45:00.003-05:00

It's SO appropriate that my most food-obsessed SIPster B. Yip would snap this gem! Thank you for your first contribution! I hope it's not your last :o)

R. Kelly's favorite Coffee Shop in Baltimore

2010-01-29T18:44:00.003-05:00

I couldn't help but read "Piss in a Cup" -- I know, my mind is in the gutter. It's because I was in Baltimore.

But I SEE YOU INSIDE THE CAR!

2010-01-29T18:43:00.003-05:00

Blatant lies. Who's gone walking? You're driving!

Learning to park might help

2010-01-29T18:42:00.003-05:00

See the awesome crushing action on the left side of the car? I'd venture to say it might be related to the brutal failure of this person's parking abilities (as can be seen on the right!).

No girls?!

2010-01-29T18:41:00.002-05:00

Guess not.

London's Bounty

2010-01-29T18:39:00.003-05:00

Who needs Bounty when you can have Plenty? London is RIGHT UP THERE with their replacement products! (snapped at Sainsbury's in London). I had to do a double-take!

SOTU msg = YS WI [hopefully] CN!!

2010-01-29T18:38:00.003-05:00

In honor of this month's STATE OF THE UNION.

At least if it was during Halloween....

2009-12-03T09:16:00.003-05:00

Otherwise, I'm having a hard time figuring out a 50+ woman with purple hair and business clothing!

NO KIDDING!!

2009-12-03T09:12:00.004-05:00

I wonder if she gave birth to the entire Army... Do people ever think that you might be disclosing too much information with so much stuff on your car? I mean... I know where your children went (go?) to school (High School AND College), that your son is in the army, that you vacation in the Outer Banks in NC, that you have at least one dog... I'd just like your SS# now, please... thank you!

How do you want it?

2009-12-03T09:11:00.003-05:00

Next time, I'll say "soft and tender" and see if the waitress writes that down on the bill!

Unitarians got a sense of HUMOR!

2009-12-03T09:10:00.003-05:00

Or at the very least, they definitely know how to speak internet short-hand. I thought the plate was asking me if I was crazy...

What? Don't blame me, I grew up watching it in Spanish.... Which was [were] your your favorite childhood cartoon[s]?

"Won't you take me to Funck[y]-town..."

2009-12-03T08:58:00.003-05:00

FUNCK THIS TOWN! -- What do you think about when you think of Disco??

Hard to keep it a secret operation when you do THIS!

2009-12-03T08:57:00.002-05:00

Soon to be renamed "Chuck Norris Theatre"

2009-12-03T08:52:00.003-05:00

And for those of you who can't get enough of Chuck Norris TOTALLY 100% VERITABLE AND VERIFIABLE FACTS, here's some:

"Before sliced bread, people used to say “Thats the greatest thing since Chuck Norris”. But Chuck Norris was displeased by this. So he roundhouse kicked a loaf of bread into slices."

"According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday."

"Chuck Norris could shoot someone and still have time to roundhouse kick him in the face before the bullet hits."

"Chuck Norris doesn’t look both ways before he crosses the street… he just roundhouses any cars that get too close."

"Chuck Norris has never been in a fight, ever. Do you call one roundhouse kick to the face a fight?"

.... I could go on all day!

You know what time it is?

2009-12-03T08:51:00.004-05:00

5a'clock -- time to get tha fudge outta the office if you don't wanna catch that VA traffic! How do you deal with traffic?

BEST.CARTHIEF.DETERRENT.EVER!

2009-11-22T14:17:00.003-05:00

Assuming they know how to read. I wonder how many times this [crappy-and-old-Subaru Impreza] was broken into before the owner wrote this note! What's the breaking-point before you write a "Don't break in" note?

I found India.Arie on the road!

2009-11-22T14:15:00.001-05:00

"Slow down baby you're going too fast, you got your hands in the air with your feet on the gas." Then again, it's a Jersey vehicle... they don't know how to slow down... or drive! haha.

The official Pepto-Bismol vehicle?!

2009-11-22T14:13:00.003-05:00

That's the only way this would be acceptable... Since it's not, it should receive a ticket for "Most Painful Sore on the Road."

This Nueva Yorker suffers from split-city-personality

2009-11-22T14:12:00.000-05:00

Can't be NY AND 202 buddy, you just can't have it both ways!!

Naughty naughty!

2009-11-22T14:10:00.005-05:00

I never knew "dong" could look so dirty! But what's with the tip-of-the-"dong"-looking thing up top?!

"Wayne's World, Xclent, Party time!"

2009-11-22T14:10:00.002-05:00

I LOVE seeing these on newspaper stands!

2009-11-22T14:09:00.001-05:00

Though when I first read it I thought it said "title?" and I thought that they should really do some better research before posting something like this!

Revolution time!

2009-11-22T13:14:00.001-05:00

Nya nya nya nya nya!

2009-11-22T13:10:00.001-05:00

And there I was thinking these were wings...

2009-11-22T13:08:00.001-05:00

I just want to know why it's next to Diet... though it shouldn't be in the Baby isle...

They know what they need and when they need it! Picture taken at Harvard's CVS. Thank you to Mike Teegan for submitting this picture, and his friend Sara Tracey for taking it! Welcome to Seen In Passing!

Well then what are you doing on the road?!

2009-11-16T08:42:00.001-05:00

And more importantly: Why don't you drive faster?!

Thank you to our loyal Sarita for this contribution! But Sarita, they're only selling 2!!!

Spot the I

2009-11-16T08:39:00.001-05:00

I'd hate to be the cop that messed up when trying to write a ticket for this one! Hahaha.

Too much? Can one really ever have too many bumper stickers?

2009-11-16T08:38:00.003-05:00

Do they stop being bumper stickers when they have left the bumper and taken over the car? At this rate, who needs a paintjob? EVER?!

At first I thought it was all just BUPKIS!

2009-11-16T08:35:00.003-05:00

According to http://www.koshernosh.com/in-ameri.htm: Bupkis = Nothing... but this is SOMETHING!

Coincidentally, SO DO I!!!!

2009-11-16T08:35:00.001-05:00

And you too, of course, right?!

Our first international submission! Thank you Priyanka from London for this contribution!!

I'm confused. I'll say whatever you want me to!

2009-11-09T17:44:00.001-05:00

America, FOCK YEEEEEAH!

2009-11-09T17:38:00.002-05:00

Eagle and American Flag: CHECK!
TX License plate: CHECK!
Dodge all-American diesel-guzzling truck: CHECK!
Confederate flag on rearview mirror: CHECK!
I <3 guns sticker on back glass: CHECK!
Bumper sticker of hot chick with short shorts and booty hanging out holding a big-ass rifle: CHECK!

Reason why you can't see those stickers? Because I got scared that if I got caught taking the pictures, I'd get my face blown off!

Quickest snap in the history of Seen In Passing? CHECK!!!

You can relax, The Mystery Machine is in YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!

2009-11-09T17:37:00.004-05:00

Phew... and there I thought we might need real cops around this city! Now, where are those treats....

I'm N2thisLicensePlate....

2009-11-09T17:37:00.001-05:00

I hope he's a dentist... otherwise this is a very interesting fetish.

Head's up!

2009-11-09T17:36:00.002-05:00

It's always awesome to have classes in the Science building -- you never know WHAT kind of hazardous waste you might come into contact with... Nothing a little vaccination can't cure -- oh wait! No bueno.

Can you pinpoint the LLCoolJ trivia in this post?!

2009-11-09T17:35:00.001-05:00

On the way to NYC you'll see many things!

No regular "Inn" -- this is WAYYYYYYY inn!

2009-11-09T17:34:00.000-05:00

Oh Baltimore!

This Engineer isn't a writer FOR A REASON!

2009-11-09T17:31:00.001-05:00

If you're an American University student, you'll be using LaTeX applications -- please make sure you're not allergic, the school might sue YOU for failing to notice. Naughty AU, NAUGHTY!

Hardee!!!

2009-11-09T17:30:00.001-05:00

I've never really known if it's "Party Hardy" or "Party Hearty" -- how ESL of me!

Gotta go gotta go gotta go right now

2009-11-03T22:04:00.002-05:00

Hubby: "Hunney, where should we put these potty-training chairs?!"
Wifey: "Oh just put them out in the front, by the stoops... the kids can just go out the front door into the open view right next to the major intersection when they think they need to go... After all, they might as well deal with ALL the pressures of the world all at once, don't you think?!"

Wifey: "Perverts? What perverts?!"

Nothing like flaunting your Emmy

2009-11-03T22:03:00.005-05:00

Thank you to MOVIEstarHOTEL@aol.com for this submission! Here's the message that came with the picture:

"Hi!... LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog! I guess I have an Emmy Award winner in my neighborhood (Middle Village, Queens NYC)....nothing like flaunting your Emmy on your license plate, hu? "

One "woof" = ok!

2009-11-03T22:03:00.001-05:00

WOOF WOOF!

I'll guess he didn't skate!

2009-11-03T22:01:00.002-05:00

I'm gonna guess THIS Kappa's line number is a 4... anyone else?! :o)

When Mein Kampf isn't even the most embarrassing thing on the list...

2009-11-03T21:58:00.008-05:00

Scenario: I'm at the campus UPS sending out an overnight, and look down at the "example" for how to fill out the form and list of items, and upon closer inspection, the "example" package contained: SARS, brought upon probably by the dust inhaled whilst reading Mein Kampf, which is akin to performing a self-induced Enema.

PIXIEDUST!

2009-11-03T21:58:00.001-05:00

This is just too cute.

KFC before or AFTER working out at the NYSC?!

2009-11-03T21:55:00.002-05:00

Thank you to another faithful and first-time contributor, Arnaldo, for this this awesome contribution!

He doesn't like 9's.... or 8's.... ONLY DIMES!

2009-11-03T21:54:00.000-05:00

Honk if you're one!

Money WELL spent!

2009-11-03T21:52:00.001-05:00

Thank you to our faithful reader and first-time contributor, CHARLES, for this one! Would you like to come up with your own tag line?

And I love you, Seen In Passing Fans!!!

2009-11-03T21:51:00.001-05:00

I find the "Are Watching Over Me" at the bottom a little creepy though...!

Featured Bald Guy of the WEEK!

2009-10-25T18:21:00.002-04:00

The firefighter... KEITH!

Brilliant actually.

2009-10-25T18:17:00.003-04:00

Goes pretty high up there with the Diet SUV --> http://seeninpassing.blogspot.com/2009/05/actual-size.html

No need to publicize THAT!

2009-10-25T18:16:00.001-04:00

I mean... one thing is for them to be slow, but do you really need to advertise that for all those entering the neighborhood? Oh the embarrassment! The shame!

At least it doesn't say EXORCIST!

2009-10-25T18:15:00.001-04:00

I wish I had seen this one in the highway to watch his "exiting" skills... What even makes a great "exitist" any way?

STYLISH!

2009-10-25T18:13:00.002-04:00

In case you're wondering: The socks 100% absolutely definitely matched... This was at a Utilities' Expo in the Convention Center... I'm just SO glad the green bag he got with souvenirs matched the green... oh who am I kidding, ANYTHING would've matched him!

At least you're truthful...

2009-10-25T18:10:00.000-04:00

Unlike 1G8Cat below..........................!!

NYC's Fashion District knows how to treat the husbands!

2009-10-25T18:07:00.004-04:00

At a whole-sale retail shop in NYC's Fashion District. Fellas, this one's for you! These chairs are OUTSIDE the shop, and there were 6 of them, so the husbands could socialize and complain about how long the wives take... I should really have gone in and asked them how this came about!

In DC, even street lights have to be registered...

2009-10-25T18:07:00.001-04:00

Thai-flavored condom?

2009-10-25T18:06:00.001-04:00

Tom-YUM! I wonder if they serve --> http://seeninpassing.blogspot.com/2009/04/whos-next.html

And he's available!

2009-10-25T18:05:00.000-04:00

Ladies, he's great and for the taking!

Oh pump the jam....

2009-10-25T18:01:00.001-04:00

Sounds like a really bad rap song in the making! Maybe he's friends with Mr. Plumber, who likes to lay pipe....

S.M.H.... -- seriously though, FML!

2009-10-18T18:01:00.000-04:00

Queen of having it her way...

2009-10-18T18:00:00.004-04:00

Because why shouldn't you feel like a Queen during your lunch break?

Warts?

2009-10-18T18:00:00.002-04:00

Some bits of information should just be kept out of your license plate!

Party time at a bar?

2009-10-18T17:59:00.002-04:00

Nope... Women's BATHROOM in a Government Building!

I keep reading "crack"

2009-10-18T17:58:00.000-04:00

For all your foodies.

JFUEHTIBKSOPERJNB?!?!?!?!

2009-10-18T17:57:00.002-04:00

Acronyms gone wrong?

Maybe he's Irish.

2009-10-18T17:57:00.001-04:00

A time when men really need those services...

2009-10-18T17:56:00.001-04:00

Thank you faithful follower/contributor Marian for this golden snap!

Let's hope she never has to act like a schoolteacher...

I wanna meet him.

2009-10-18T17:53:00.001-04:00

Just so you know!

2009-10-18T17:51:00.000-04:00

License to go green on red? ;o)~

Gotta get me one of these Tees....!
