Government infrastructure for these big men and their plantboat.

"Shooting ducks with guns! Shooting ducks with guns!" the man in the boat was saying again and again in a high-pitched voice and bouncing and wringing his hands.

"Other people's taxdollars bought me a boatramp!" the truckdriver exclaimed, and he sniffed his fingers and ululated.

The "Seagull Arms Apartments."

No I'm just kidding, it's the "Outrigger Motel."

A seagull's arms are boomerangs. By taking a picture of the misshapen seagull artwork, I am mocking small businesspeople and southerners.

The weirdos who make a point of saying "breakfast pancakes" when "pancakes" will suffice, in colorful plastic.

Each of the colors of plastic is among my favorite colors of plastic, and it was nice to see them in combination.

Harry/hairy homophony is bad news for restaurateurs named Harry. Hairy pancakes!, the hair glued on with syrup.

I felt that the composition idea would be provocative. And it tells a story about what kind of bushes gas stations like to buy for their landscaping in the Myrtle Beach area.

YES, classiness.

This is in Myrtle Beach and reminds me of a South Carolinian's miniaturized idea of a hypothetical driveway at the Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas. Peeing from balconies.

Think of workmen installing these statues on the day this motel was built.

"Sports Paw" decorative novelty license plate.

Did a horrific carcrash send it flying over here into the dirt? I would like for somebody to recount to me the processes of its manufacture — the composition of the paw material, the cutting of that material into shapes and affixing those to the license plate backing, etc.

Roofing shingles and broken-off tusk of this putt-putt elephant.

I doubt it's a good idea to have that hole in its snout.

Do you see the hole where the tusk used to be? Go smell inside of it, I dare ya.

Wild area of North Myrtle Beach.

We aren't too awful far from a commercial strip, which you can glimpse through the treebranches. Businesses are over there if you need them.

Was there some kind of a tropical storm or something that caused the look of dishevelment among the plantlife seen here?

Another typical landscape of the southeastern U.S.

Seems like everyplace you go down there there are everywhere large cheaply-made plastic and metal garbage objects, scattered wantonly across mowed-down foregrounds, set against swampy woodlands full of poisonous snakes.

"Tommy," a flat-eyed smiling male crab with dimples, wearing a hat. by Tim Kiser

"Tommy," a flat-eyed smiling male crab with dimples, wearing a hat.

"Tommy" has got wet birdmanure dripping from his face but he keeps on smiling. This is at the "Giant Crab Gourmet Seafood Buffet."

He isn't resting atop anything: You're supposed to imagine he's got a puppeteer's hand jammed up his behind; that he's a talking and moving puppet who will talk to your children as he lifts his hat up and down.

Why the big space and the unassigned apostrophe between the words GIANT and CRAB on the canopy.

The sea trawler, dragging a net through everything in the water, indiscriminately collecting whatever.

"Our method will attempt to gather up all of the life in the sea and lift it out and kill it!"

"Those few sea animals that escape our trawls will not be able to reproduce at a pace sufficient to replace our takings."

"Myrtle Beach tourists will think smilingly upon all this, $$$."

Sculpting a water feature from a giant loaf of manure.

I'm just kidding it's some other kind of material besides manure.

Mechanically babbling waters descend splashingly downslope, in parallel to the driveway of an elevated parking deck in Myrtle Beach. At the bottom of their brown thing, the waters are sucked up and spurted (slightly) skyward. Lights are rigged to shine on all this after dark.

A stagnant pool of stinking water, nestled in a depression between a small general aviation airport and the backside of a stripmall in North Myrtle Beach.

I arrived here and saw this on the last day of 2012, and now the memory of the occasion is going to be part of me. This is a manmade endorheic basin.
