We (Dan and Vince) are trying to make the world a more surreal place, we personally contribute through our own surrealing, but that's tiring and we can't expect the same level of commitment from everyone.
But here's what you can do. You can tell us when you see surrealism (intentional or otherwise) in your everyday life.
Let me give you an example.
While driving out of a parking lot, I saw a retirement age couple walking through the parking lot. They were walking close together and talking, dressed in that old-person-casual style that favors comfort and color over all else. The woman was holding a leash that was behind her. Due to my interest in seeing cute puppies I followed the leash with my eyes. I was disappointed. She wasn't walking a dog, she was walking a tire. A tire, on its side so it was being dragged and not rolled, with a dog leash clipped on it, being 'walked' by a nice couple through a parking lot.Surrealism in real life.
I don't know why they were taking their tire for a walk. The only stores in the strip mall were a liquor store, a salon, and a deli. No tire stores. No auto part stores. Nothing that could make the couple's actions logical.
Now it's your turn. Send us your stories.
Dan
