This nattily-attired young lady is most likely a Ducks fan, judging by her color-coordinated hula hoop.

Timbers fan?

The one with the pompom on the butt might make for uncomfortable sitting.

Pizza bed

Don't know if I could sleep with it.

Watch out, Colonel Sanders

I'm guessing the secret recipe isn't safe either.

Schoolchildren dressing up as Nazis and a billboard advert showing Hitler were just the start.

Thailand's obsession with so-called 'Nazis chic' just won't go away - and now a fried chicken takeaway called Hitler - complete with a logo showing the Nazi leader in a bow tie - has opened its doors.

The bizarre restaurant opened last month in Thailand and images of it are doing the rounds on Twitter as shocked customers take photos of the offensive eatery.

The fascist dictator's head has been grafted onto the body of bow-tie wearing Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC.

Among the grub on sale includes fried chicken and chips, burgers and kebabs.

Londoner Andrew Spooner, who spotted the takeaway, tweeted: 'Very bizarre Hitler Fried Chicken shop in Thailand. I kid you not. Complete with pic of Hitler in bow tie.

Alan Robertson, 43, who lives in Bangkok, said: 'The place opened last month and nobody quite knows what to make of it.

'I went in for a bite last week and got some fried chicken, which was pretty good, and asked the guy behind the counter why it was called Hitler.

'He just shrugged his shoulders and said the owners had thought it was good image.'

Cartoon pandas, Teletubbies and Ronald McDonald have all been spotted on show around the capital Bangkok.

The craze has seen more and more teenagers strutting around in T-shirts bearing cartoonish images of the Nazi dictator.

n a particularly popular design, Hitler is transformed into a cartoon Ronald McDonald, the fast-food chain's clown mascot, sporting a bouffant cherry-red hairdo and a stern look.

On another T-shirt the Führer is shown in a lovely panda costume with a Nazi armband.

In September 2011 in the northern city of Chiang Mai, a group of high school students showed up for sport day in homemade Nazi uniforms, complete with swastika armbands and toy guns.

Leading them was a teenage girl dressed in a faux SS uniform with a fake Hitler mustache.

Locals cheered the students merrily from sidewalks as foreign tourists reportedly looked on aghast.

In 2009, a waxworks museum in the seaside resort town of Pattaya advertised itself with a giant billboard featuring the Führer with the legend in Thai: 'Hitler is not dead!'

In 2007, hundreds of students at a Bangkok school staged a similar Nazi-themed costume parade.

Following international outcries, teachers at both schools apologised, saying they had no idea the students had planned to dress up as Nazis.

Another reason not to wear hooded sweatshirts

Here is a past blog about how wearing my hoodie puts me among bank robbers.

Apparently, according to crusty Geraldo Rivera, it's also justification for homicide.

Took my duster out for a walk

I took my duster out for a walk yesterday around Nikeland. Here I go out and buy a great raincoat and we're suddenly get the Northwest equivalent of a drought.

There were a lot of nutria out there. A lot of little ones. They seem to be thriving there. I'm guessing within a year you'll find them as roadkill in the neighborhood.

It was overcast and wet today. Not raining but low-hanging fog. When I finished the walk I went up the hill to the Black Rock coffee kiosk. They recognize me there. I'm the old guy who walks. And gets a mocha at the end of the walk.

Rock on.

Duster

It was clear that having moved to Oregon I needed a really good raincoat. So I ordered a duster, like this one:

That's not me, just a guy posing in a duster. When I got home Saturday night it was sitting on my doorstep in its box. I put it on and it felt kind of like a costume. You know, you've got to become one with  your wardrobe. So today I wore it in the rain down to the recycling dumpster here. It's becoming me.

Now I have to get a wide-brimmed rainhat. Then I'll be able to hang out with the nutria in Nike World across the street even when it's a downpour.
