Dad’s Decoy
“This is my dad, who insisted on setting up his deer decoy that the UPS delivered while he was at work. Not having time to change, he went for a more casual look by just taking off his shirt.”

The Ultimate Soft-Sell
“He really didn’t want to sell his beloved Subaru.”
Full disclosure, I always promised my wife that when we were ‘with child’ I would part with my beloved 2003 Subaru WRX so we could buy some minivan/SUV monstrosity with a rear window big enough to put those infuriating family stickers on. So this ad is a good faith effort. For sale: the last vestige of my youth.
Mileage: 85,000 miles. Almost all city miles. I’m everything that is bad about a WRX owner, so rest-assured that most of those 85k miles were spent at full throttle, rapidly accelerating in and out of 7-11 parking lots.
Maintenance: the car has had a few issues over the years. Oil changes ever 4-5k miles or every 6 months. Exclusively worked on by establishments that employ a spinning sign guy out front. The car rattles a bit and pulls hard to the left, just like a real NASCAR!
Other issues: cup holders are small (Japanese engineers in 2003 had no idea how far we would come.) Water pump was purchased from an Indian burial ground, so the car is slightly haunted.
See attached pictures. I’ve had multiple people email me and ask me for a better picture of the car. My response: no, but I will send you more pictures of the dents.
If you want to come by and see the car, great. It has to be a time when my wife is home so she can see that I actually put the car up. Any attempts to negotiate will result in price increases.

Baby Bird 3
“I am a photographer, and I have a brilliantly talented newborn photographer named Jen who works for me. This was the very first shot taken at her newborn session yesterday. Suffice to say, this little guy made his feelings known about getting his photos taken right from the beginning. His parents loved it, and I hope this baby flipping the bird becomes the cherished family heirloom it deserves to be.”

Grandson Al Dente
“What kind of person cooks 15 lbs of multicolored spaghetti, then pours it in a bathtub so a 5-year-old can squish around? A grandma.”

A New Way To Print Your Awkward Photos
We recently had a chance to sample some product from Fracture, a new company that prints your photos directly to glass and have to admit– it’s pretty cool.
A few days after we ordered, the printed pics arrived neatly packed in a small box.
We were pleasantly surprised by how sleek the presentation is. Super easy to hang on the wall.
To be honest, the print quality is better than we thought it would be and the photos really pop on the glass. We sampled three different sizes and we were really happy with this finished product. Just because the photos are awkward doesn’t mean the printing has to be as well!
Right now, fracture is offering 20% off to all AFP followers until March 31st!
