I just found it, and in the Street View, Wayne and someone else is doing something weird next to a bathtub and a sign that says "Blob." It's hard to figure out what is going on.

Has this already been discussed?

It doesn't feel right to do

It doesn't feel right to do that, but do this:

Go to hulu.com and load up Fearless Freaks. Then find the scene where it shows the house with the street signs (I'm surprised they revealed that!)

Then go to Google maps and search for that intersection. It's not hard; it only took a few seconds for me. Then double click the intersection to go to street view and go up the street until you see people in front of Wayne's house (the first pic was taken when noone was there.)

Then post what you think is happening. Weird.

Ah, what the hell

Ah, what the hell:

** snipped **

Looks like Kliph is there, too.

I think the sign says "Blob Bath." I guess maybe it's his version of a lemonade stand.

Wayne, you're a beautiful weirdo.

That is just hilarious. I'd say NOT a lemonade stand though--ick. Maybe it was some kind of dare stunt thing, to take a bath in a bath filled, I don't know, jelly perhaps? ;) That certainly looks like it could be Kliph with him although at that resolution who knows for sure. I think you're absolutely right that is says "BLOB BATH" The first word is clear enough and you can use the color etc. pattern of the letters and presence of the tub to infer the second.

Okay, I think this is just so odd that the Google car went by during this that Kliph or Wayne really should indulge us: what the hell was going on there, guys?!

Cheers!

Well, we know one of two

Well, we know one of two things is true:

Either Wayne was tipped off about the van coming through that day and set this up just to be funny, or — and more likely — he just does this kind of stuff so often that the Google van was going to capture something weird no matter what day it drove by.

Wayne has a pet blob which he bathes daily. Blobs are difficult pets, it often requires two people to handle them. Kliph is Wayne's latest assistant because he's new in the band and Michael and Steven got tired of that shit real fast.
As a side note: It ate Ronald.

It's from something he did

It's from something he did for Halloween a few years back. There are photos on the Lips' myspace.

Did you even read the thread beyond it's title, or does everyone you know have a blob in a bathtub on their front lawn? Enjoy being proud you're less of a fanboy/girl than everyone else, but realize that being on these forums at all and especially posting to them really disqualifies you from being too cool for the other sheep. :)

That pic is so good. You'd never get this kind of imagination and creativity in the UK!!!!!!

This is amazing, They

This is amazing, They honestly may not have planned this for the google thing. Google maps caught my father mowing the front lawn for my address. This is just hysterical. Wonder what the neighbors think of the 'freaks' next door! LOL

Gotta love Wayne, and the Lips
So cool

Well in their defense, they've been busy reporting every time Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse sneeze or do drugs.

I vote

we create a new subforum. "Pathetic Journalists check in here" or something. We'll put all our best material in there like:

OMG Flaming Lips Fans Finally Get Their Signed Lithographs

Recent Polls Show Scorpio Sword Losing Ground In Embryonic Survivor

Fan Runs Into Wayne Coyne At Home Depot Several Years Ago

Johnny Fever would still "rather hear them play ANYTHING from the pre-Soft Bulletin days"

and exclusive interviews with Charles Webster Baer

hmmm

That's not really his "house" house though right? I live in Oklahoma City, and that's not exactly the part of town that a world-famous musician lives in.

chill out.,we're just striking up a conversation about a strange bathtub, im sure the op didnt mean it as like a "omg look at waynes house" sort of thing. And the signed lithographs, if people wait for three months for them and finally get them im sure they're rather excited and as such post something about it, and as far as the embryonic survivor thing goes its just a silly forum game, a non-sensical and completely unserious way of enteraining our selves. and wouldnt you like to hear them play some old shit as well?

OMG LOOK AT WAYNES HOUSE ;-)

I've seen this before but it felt somehow creepy posting it....but now that it's all gone mainstream I guess it's okay :)

http://pitchfork.com/news/37913-peek-inside-wayne-coynes-freaky-oklahoma...

**I'm SUCH a fan-girl, I should just be ashamed---I mean, WHAT WAS I THINKING?? Posting about a band I love on their message board? So Lame. Get over yourself and do everyone a favor, if you're just going to be assholes to those who post topics here that you deem 'pathetic' maybe you've outgrown this board. You're obviously WAY cooler than the rest of us.

I think you've missed the point

I think these are fine messageboard discussions, no complaints about that...

I think some lazy "writer" reading posts on a messageboard and then publishing it elsewhere as actual news is ridiculous.

The joke was that if one of us randomly posting about Wayne's antics showing up on google (which has been there for a couple years now) or Graggor and Novel fighting about Dark Side is considered news, hell any of the silly crap we say could be.

I understood the meaning of your post, I think. I also think that some people confused your sentiment, which was against the journos, with that of AnotherBriOnline in message #11 above (http://www.flaminglips.com/forum/general-lips/waynes-house-google-maps#c...)

Wow, I work about 10 minutes from his house?! I should go there for lunch sometime! Lunch with Wayne sounds fun. That is seriously not a good part of town though. Can't believe he doesn't at least move to Nichols Hills.
