It's a dirty job...

So sometime last summer, the show Dirty Jobs came to our town and filmed an episode about installing a roadside billboard. Since it's one of my favorite shows on tv (and because Mike Rowe is so hot), I feel I should have been notified beforehand. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, but we did drive by the billboard this week and I talked Spork into stopping long enough to get a picture of the place Mike Rowe had once been.

Sigh.

Notice of Pending Legal Action

Attention Spork :

Re: The malicious destruction of personal property of and attempted bodily harm of Ellie May.

Be advised the preponderance of the evidence available* clearly demonstrates the willful and malicious activities of Spork, who while driving his goat truck, Sally, on the morning of January 15, 2008, did hereby back into Ellie May's flower pot and uproot her pansies. Furthermore, Spork planted a deadly I.P.D. (Improvised Poisonous Device) to be detonated when Ellie May uprighted her pansies, as Spork knew she would do forthwith.

This infringing action constitutes a deliberate form of harassment and ill-will by Spork and Ellie May seeks restitution for her pain and suffering and emotional distress.

Sincerely,

Anita Sumonay

Attorney at Law

Broccolicious

Look at this broccoli! Look at it! I grew this baby and you know you're jealous! We ate it steamed and buttered, alongside blackened catfish over pecan rice. Before you get too snarky, notice that I am holding a knife in my hand...

Bird feeding, Stuga style

So last year at Thanksgiving I asked my brother-in-law, Jimmy, if he could build a birdfeeder pole that would keep the raccoons off of the feeders. He says to draw him a picture. I draw (pathetically) a vertical pole with a 5-pound coffee can around it and an X on the top to hold 4 bird feeders. As the night went on (and the tasty beverages flowed), the plans got grander and it ended with, "Wouldn't it be great if it looked like a palm tree? hahahahaha!" Well, yesterday this oilfield pipe and car panel sculpture showed up! I now have the coolest birdfeeder pole EVER!
