Big Balloons and other interesting things

I see some pretty interesting (to me, who is easily amused) things on my commute to/from work. Now that the Hideously Mis-Named Elgin O'Hare Expressway (Which goes to neither Elgin, nor O'Hare) is my route du jour, since Lake Street is all fardleschnockered up, I get to see things like this:

I guess they might could have been ones left inside that abandoned mall they used...

Is he not adorable???
What I like best is the sandals and white-painted toenails. The t-shirt and shades are cute, but those feet just crack me up!
