Scenes From A Strange Mural In The Basement Of The St. John's Birthing Center

...

Having another 2-day sleepover at St. John's via the birth of my precious 2nd girl gave me chance to take a closer look at a mural in the lower catacombs that connects the birthing center to the cafeteria and the rest of the hospital. I made this trek several times before but, when walking with my mother-in-law on a food run, she pointed out just how weird some of it was. Here are a few scenes from it and a few interpretations:

This was the image my mother-in-law found disturbing and caused me to take a closer look at the whole thing. Not only is this chimp odd, but it's incorporated with the actual railing in the wall. My first impression (which I did not share with mother-in-law) was: "Holy shit. That cross dressing monkey's jacking off."


I think I found the ring leader. That hat has to mean she's the chief of something, and that billy club she's holding probably does the talking. The elephant won't take its eyes off it.


I'm lost with this one. Does it really take four guys to paint one kangaroo's portrait? The kid on the left seems as perplexed as me.


Sarah Palin and Ellen DeGeneres seem to be vying for the same woman's affection. I smell possible girl-on-girl-on-girl action here.


This might be a reward or a punishment for this alligator nurse. Not sure yet.


A nice candid shot of the Ghost of Christmas Present on his day off. That pissed off lion is scaring the crap out of Ignorance and Want though.

This artist just blew my mind. A medical practicing animal of flight tied to a balloon? The string's not even taut, meaning this duck(swan?) is levitating on its own. Balloon bondage must be this painter's kink.

It took me a little while, but I found the one depressed person in the crowd. I hope it's not affecting her kids too much.

Finally, I'll leave it on this note. I'm not sure what that guy is putting in his mouth, but it doesn't look like a sword to me. At least he still has his tonsils.
