WTF Wednesday: Nacho Face, Screaming Cat-Baby, Heino


Hola Wednesday! Hola WTF!

Let's begin with a scene from a baseball game. A foul ball went into the stands, and hit this lady in the nachos.

A full minute later they flash back to her again and she still has nacho cheese all over her face! None of her nitwit friends told her. 



I abide by the "see something, say something" rule when it comes to food on friends' faces. 

Moving right along to tongue out Tuesday.

screw you, vince lombardi sweater! i found the russia sucks hat!

in a turn of events i can only describe as tragic, some other vintage sellers from tennessee recently came into the asheville thrift zone and found a vince lombardi west point sweater, which they proceeded to sell for over $40,000

well guess who found the vintage 80's "russia sucks" *blinking light* velvet mesh trucker hat?


video of lights in action: https://instagram.com/p/2BnJroK_XX/

it is cold war chic, rocky 4 come to life. 

at the modest price of $10,000, you could buy 4 of these for one vince lombardi sweater. but good luck finding 3 more.

my old clothes: tarheels edition: part 2

when last we left, i'd shown 5 of my favorite vintage unc t-shirts.

here are 5 more favorites - all basketball-related. 

soft, thin, and true. carolina basketball is a perennial power.

looks pretty basic here - carolina basketball school - vintage t-shirt from the summer camp:

but it's a champion blue bar tag, dating it to the mid 70s. sweet!

here's another of the softest silkiest t-shirts i own. love the repeated graphics and the hair on the player. michael jordan era - ncaa champions 1982. 

1981 1982 ncaa champions t-shirt

this must be one of the most obscure carolina basketball t-shirts ever made. gastonia, NC - city of the all-americans - russell athletic from the late 70's. honoring james worthy (UNC) and sleepy floyd (georgetown) - who both grew up in gastonia. 

sleepy floyd james worthy gastonia 70s t-shirt

last but not least, coach k drinks winecoolers. this is not as old as the others, probably only 15 years or so, but it makes me laugh every time. 

coach k drinks wine coolers


you know he does! 

although the tarheels did not advance past the sweet sixteen this year, it was a great season, and we can all still find pleasure in the remaining games by rooting against duke.

WTF Wednesday: Thriftstore Art, Kids' Discipline, Teddy Bear Ashtray

Hello Wednesday! Hello WTF!

Feast your eyes on some thrift store art. 


The boob area could use a little revisiting. 


Lookout! Do the guardian angels have large talons?


How to discipline without feeling guilty. Step 1: get a playpen. Step 2: repeat to yourself that children are just big hamsters. Step 3: remember you are the adult and give me a fucking break. 



This is probably my all time favorite Christmas carol. No WTFing Pavarotti's O Holy Night.


Some WTFing for the photo of the kids' faces.  Pavarotti looks good, but the kids look sedated. 


Last but not least, what better receptacle for your cigarette ashes than a family of teddy bears?
