Random: ZOINKS!

I had another weird encounter with a stuffed animal. Driving on 80/94, I went to pass a semi truck. I had trouble getting around said semi, because several cars were going its exact speed, taking pictures of the back of the truck. I was tempted to get upset (you know how I feel about Chicago drivers), then I dissolved in hiccupping laughter when I saw the subject matter of the pictures.

There was a 4-5 foot tall stuffed Scooby Doo "doll" strapped to the back of the semi! Actually, the arm that locks the back of the truck secured Scooby to the truck. Scooby looked pretty scared back there and I had a philosophical debate with myself regarding whether this Scooby was "life-sized." What qualifies as "life-sized" when the character is an animation? Does the categorical imperative even apply to animated dogs? Deep thoughts for the Interstate!

I wish I had a photo to share, but as I was going about 80 mph and I wasn't going to dig through my black hole of a purse so I could produce photo evidence! Sorry. If I would have gotten wiped off the Interstate, it would have been quite embarrassing to tell St. Peter I died because I was trying to take a picture of Scooby Doo!
