It’s been a while since a penny farthing has made it up on the blog.  Using the survey that was posted last week as a guide, I came to find out that people other than myself have a soft spot for those beautifully dangerous machines of simpler times and harder skulls.  No promises as to the consistency of penny farthing posts, but we’ll give it a go.

“Toad on a penny farthing” or, “Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride in Los Angeles”

I saw this over on the @bffworld Twitter, and since it’s been a while since anything Penny Farthing related has passed through these parts, I figured I’d throw it up here. Wow.

A cat for your mousepad.  Not sure where the original image is from but it looks pretty awesome and a little creepy.
