WTF Wednesday: Clown Lounge, Sloth Lounge, Tree Lounge
Welcome to Wednesday! Welcome to WTF!
Good morning side lounging clown and teddy! Nicely organized, thrift store.
You could have tried harder.
Hi crazy tall creepy doll.
Let's hug it out.
Conserve energy. Carve a half assed sloth.
This seems to be a native girl figurine featuring mushrooms.
I can't make heads or tails of it. Leapfrog?
Medieval clown straddling a clock. WTF!?
Here's the Tree Lounge Advantage VHS.
Actual hunting scenes. At least double your chances of seeing or shooting deer.
As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

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.
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.
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.
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: Scrunchies, Buddhist Yoga Butt, Hands of a Clown
Hello there, Wednesday! Hello there, WTF!
Last week we were at a sold out show at the Orange Peel, standing behind a woman with a curtain of fine, silky hair.
The Orange Peel has a "Big Ass Fan" which blows a stiff breeze through the room.
You can probably guess that long hair plus a big ass fan equals disaster for everybody behind her. We all had mouthfuls of her hair. Next time, I am bringing some of these to hand out. Simple.
Moving on to an interesting book I picked up at Goodwill last week - Buddhist Yoga.
Written in 1975 by Kanjiitsu Iijima, this book contains many nuggets of wisdom, some anecdotal (balding man stops using soap on his head, hair grows back), and some helpful diagrams.
But the most stunning paragraph, maybe the most stunning paragraph I have ever read, is below (Extraordinary effectiveness of constricting the anus):
I don't know where to begin with this information, but I felt it needed to be shared. WTF!?
Now for a segue into gospel LP's.
So I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking.
ASK.
Christy Lane's Complete Book of Line Dancing by Christy Lane.
The hands of the clown.
Meat.
Last but not least, this thriftstore craft:
You figured correctly.

WTF Wednesday: Vintage LP's, Framed Goat, Smurfy Dancer Jesus
Wednesday seems to come more quickly every week! WTF?!
Let's start off with a giant skirt doll. Under the skirt was a football sized bean bag.
Heeeey.
It will never cease to amaze me that people frame photos of goats.
Math, people. Math.
John Nave's jacket and tie could not be any more 1983.
Victory Trio, at the crossing, with duck toes.
The Statler Brothers, Oh Happy Day (when Daddy brought home a weed whacker).
How to Be Somebody.
A tool of our trade. (We trade in excrement.)
Last but not least, may smurfy Jesus have this dance?

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?

happy 3rd birthday, pouncey!
yesterday pouncey turned the ripe old age of 3!
21 in dog years. he is slowly but surely turning into a right decent pet - he has calmed down ever so slightly, and is a very patient brother for sugarhoney.
eli had a blast at the party.
the party consisted mainly of pouncey eating salmon.
happy birthday, pounce-swah, joyeux anniversaire! (upon learning he is the color of a french baguette a few months ago, he instantly developed a french accent and insists on being called pounsoir.)
