That Ain't Right...

A shout-out to the fashion faux pas and unseemly snafus plaguing our world today!

Giving Thanks for TAR moments

All I can say is I love my family, and I love my family's hometown... BUT... these just ain't right.



First, the Breast TAR-in-a-bar award goes to this plastic pair of
patookas, hanging on the wall in noneother than The Pumper in good ole' Cannelton, IN. Apparently they were part of a guy's Elvis Halloween costume (really. I don't make this stuff up!) and he hung them on the wall where they've been ever since.



Second place, best free-handed TAR moment of the weekend, my cousin Chris asks, hey, do you wanna see a picture of my family? Maybe a little week for this blog, but I was amused.

Next, another Bar TAR that's just wrong:






And finally, observe exhibit A, the Publix man and woman salt & pepper shakers. We’ve had these a few years, and every time we get them out someone has to comment on how the male pilgrim looks like some guy named Russell Bolin that they all know from Cannelton, and so the salt & pepper shakers are fondly referred to as “Russell Bolin and his wife.”

Well Russell, if you’re out there, I sincerely apologize for this next shot. Children under the age of 17, please close your eyes.
Exhibit B; what happens when my family sits at the dinner
table for too long. Idle hands are the devil’s playground,
but we laughed and laughed at this.

Nothing says "I Love You" like...


A TRASH DUMPSTER?!?! I always thought the quintessential act of love was painting on a water tower in John Deere Green, but it seems times have changed and I am simply out of touch with the current trends. Forget flowers, romantic dinners, long talks in front of a fire, and little notes hidden in unexpected places. Just skip to the most romantic gesture of all...spray painting it onto a dumpster in the back of a McDonald's. Somebody hand me a tissue, I'm feeling a little verklempt. I can just see the Hallmark commercial now. So for all of you fellas wanting to send your loved one a special message this holiday season, don't waste a lot of money on expensive gifts. Head on down to Wal-Mart and get some spray paint for about $2.29 and show your woman how much she really means to you. Take her for a nice Big Mac and fries, and as you pull around the drive-through, she's sure to know how much you care. Heck, if it's your anniversary, be sure and Super-Size it!!
