March Shall Hereby Be Removed From My Calendar

Dear March,

You have been a shitty month. You suck. Please end.

That is all.

Well. Now that we've gotten that out of the way.

Due to the fact that I have to go to ANOTHER funeral tomorrow, Things on the Road Thursday has been moved up a few hours this week. I was going to just say "screw it", but since I skipped last week too, I just couldn't do that without feeling like I was blowing something off and I hate that feeling.

Sooooooooo.......

Things on the Road Thursday!!! Finally!



AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

*deep breath*

HAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Seriously. I can't be the only one who snickers whenever they see one of these. I can't. Can I? Really? C'mon. I won't tell. I swear. You know you giggle. Just a little. Maybe not full blown hysterical laughter like me, but you KNOW it's funny!

And there you have it gentlefolk. Now I have to go look up a map that will hopefully clearify directions that my dad gave me earlier. Just a note. Random words mixed with "uh" and long pauses do not make good directions. Pass it on.

Things on the Road Thursday (a little late, but hey, at least it's still Thursday)

Welcome back Things on the Road Thursday! There was really nothing of interest that I found on the road last week, so I decided to skip it. This week, however, I found tons of stuff. So let's jump right in, shall we?



Okay....it's not really clear from the picture, but these are a pair of pants. On the road. Huh? Pants. On the road. In the middle of a very busy intersection, actually. I really have no other words for this, just a lot of giggles.



I saw this outside of a fast food restaurant while waiting for Rat to get the fries and come on dammit! The funniest thing to me about this (no, it's not the "dork factor") is that someone thought "Hey, I'd better tie this up! Someone may steal it!" Yeah, um...no. I just have this vision of some thug-type guy trying to steal this bike (these bikes???) and jumping on the front part and pedaling off as fast as he can, while the little back one fishtailing like crazy behind him. This makes me laugh hysterically. Which I like. So I thought I'd pass it along to you, so hopefully you'll get to laugh hysterically too.


I saw this on the way to the post office and I just couldn't believe it. I don't even know what they sell, or deliver, or whatever. But "BIMBO"????? OMG!!! Who would name their company that? What's their tag line? "We'll only get it there 2 days late, unless we run out of gas or something."???

So there you have it. This weeks Things on the Road Thursday cracked me up. I hope it made you laugh too.

Things on the Road Thursday

Well...who'd a thought we'd get this far? Welcome to week 4 of Things on the Road Thursday!

This week, for your enjoyment and possibly wonderment, I present to you:


A barrel.

Yup.

It's a pretty crushed up barrel too. It's also been there since about May/June of last year. Just kind of sitting there. Like it's waiting for it's buddies to show up. Or maybe it's injured and waiting for help.

I know, I know. I'm crazy. I feel bad for the poor little smushed up barrel. Reminds me of that commercial where some amorous people knock over the cutest little cow creamer and it smashes on the floor. Then some German guy comes out and says "Aww. You feel bad for ze little cow? Zat iz because you are crazy." The first time Rat and I saw that he looked at me and said "That's YOU!"

So there's our short little TRT for this week. Hope you enjoyed it! Don't be a stranger, now, ya' hear? ;)

While I'm Procrastinating...

While waiting for Rat last week, I noticed this sign:



How much more do you think it would have cost to put the word "or" between "Bicycles" and "Skateboards" instead of the "-"??? This bugs me for some probably insane reason. And if they were really that concerned about saving the space, they could have shortened bicycles to "bikes". And while we're at it, they could have completely left off the words "on sidewalk" because duh I think we get it.

I just noticed how completely chapped my lips are. How come the more you lick them the more chapped they feel? I've been trying to keep chapstick or lip gloss on all the time, but sometimes I forget. I've tried countless brands and have yet to find one that really really works well. Actually, I have, but I lost it and now I can't remember what it is. Bah. The last one I tried was Blistex Spa Effects. And it was.....meh. It doesn't really stay on long. It smells nice though. Just not very impressive. I would probably recommend some plain ol' Chapstick instead. This will be the next one I try. I'm hoping it will stay on longer. Even with my diet mountain dew addiction.

Things on the Side of the Road Thursday, Part 2

Yeah, I know I missed last week. I was just starting to get sick and felt like death on toast, so I decided to save the picture I took for this week when I could be, hopefully at least a little bit more entertaining.

Now, this isn't really what I had in mind when I thought about doing "things on the side of the road Thursday", but it sort of fits, so just go with it. By the way, are those new shoes? I just love them! They're so pretty and pointy and make your feet look so small! What size do you wear?

Now on to the pictures...

This just creeps me the hell out. On either side, there are live trees that are all pretty and green and have like, branches and stuff. Then there's just this....dead patch. It's spooky.

This particular chunk of deadness is on the way to lots of places from our house so we pass it at least once a month. Whenever we drive past it at night, I always kind of expect to see glowy green fog or something rising from the muckiness. Or maybe a huge mutated rat.

Sorry. That's all I've got for this week's "Things on the Road Thursday". I'll try to come up with something better for next week.

On the plus side, someone here must have seen the last "TRT" because a few days later, the Creepy Santa was gone! Yay! Now if I could just get some flowers planted over by the dead tree patch.

A New Tradition?

I'm thinking of starting a new tradition here on my little blaaawg. I've been tossing it around in my head for awhile, and it kinda got lost for some time. (Things get lost in my head all the time)

Anyway, what I'm thinking about doing is "Interesting things on the side of the road Thursday". And by "things" I do not mean "squished things". I mean "interesting, random things". Don't worry, if you don't get it, you will after this first one. Although, I'm not sure I'll be able to top this one:


This is without a doubt, the creepist Santa I've ever seen. Not to mention the fact that I took this picture today. Today. January the 17th. There used to be a Christmas tree lot there, but it's been gone since before Christmas. I'm thinking they decided to ditch "Hitler Santa" and find one a little less....disturbing for next year. Because seriously....I'm not buying a Christmas tree from that guy. Something is just wrong there.

So tune in again next Thursday, when hopefully I'll be able to come up with something just as odd, but maybe not so disturbing.
