At the Lobby I am master of the Art/Hobby department. While nothing much happens in the Art department (other than people being compelled to touch everything....but that's a rant for another day) The Hobbies section seems to be where all the delinquents ((and/or small children)) love to hang out and play. They leave much messes, but occasionally even I have to giggle at their creativity. So I thought I'd share some of my favorite catastrophes I have found while picking up after them...the messes suck, but at least they make you smile while cleaning them.

A Wreck on I-90
Someone got into the model cars, thankfully they didn't open any boxes.... but there was a lovely aisle full of cars. I don't mean the shelves. It literally looked like someone got really bored and posed all the model car boxes in such a way to mimic a very spectacular wreck... some were upside down, some where slightly canted leaning on the base board. Some were stacked on top of one another....there were two cars at the front who seemed to be racing and may or may not have been the cause of it all........ finding the spots for all of them was really not a good time.
The Adventures of Figurines This is more like a Saga than anything else
It started out as cowboys vs Indians.... The guys with the colts would be riding the horses and fighting the indians who would be lined up with bows arrows and tomahawks waiting for war while the indian maiden ran for cover....
Of course, it has slowly morphed into Cowboys vs. Indians....riding DINOSAURS! I usually decide that whoever manages to ride the $25 T-Rex is the winner ((the mouth opens and closes and everything...it's really cool!))
Two days ago one of the particularly skilled cowboys managed to get a lasso around an Allosaurus' neck....what he planned on doing with it after that I haven't figured out... but he managed it so...good for him.
----
The Appaloosas broke out of their gate again...I'm pretty sure they are to blame for the mass escape of all the other horses as well....the places those damn horses turn up is ridiculous.
----
Found the Stegosaurus perched on a shelf by the science kits.... poor thing was surrounded, and I'm pretty sure about to be lunch, by four very lucky velociraptors. it looked grim for poor spike.
----
The T-Rex was caught red handed trying to eat a giraffe.....
----
Once again I found the jockeys partaking in very questionable ......activities.... I told them if they can't keep their hands to themselves they need to get out.
-----
The collie once again was found rounding up the sheep....and I'm pretty sure the grizzly bear and the moose had some sort of a tuffle.
----
The Blue King and the Red King (on their respective horses) were found to be having a jousting match...i believe to win the favor of the blue princess of flowers, the other ladies were there as well, but the blue princess is the only one who shows any cleavage.... so my vote is with her.
though why the red king bothers when he as a catapult and could just crush the blue king into dust.....i will never understand.
And thus ends the Part 1 of the Adventures of the Hobby Department....I'm sure there will be many more to come.
