Again with the strange KFC marketing. Don't get me wrong, I love clams. But?
This went on throughout the 4 hour flight. I touched the grubby paw with my phone and the grubby paw started flicking its fingers at me.
Hi crochet ballerina.
Flashback to the time in October 1986 when I dressed up as Santa and put a sign saying "Sit on Santa's Lap - $1" on our mailbox. Shockingly, nobody stopped.
Short but sweet this week, hopefully next week will be more WTFruitful.
As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

Let's begin with something I saw on Antiques Roadshow. They were in Charleston and showed an old double-seated chair belonging to Siamese twins attached on the side. The woman was their descendant and said they had 21 children between the two of them. I got this book Chang & Eng in the mail yesterday and cannot wait to read it.
Next, the Oak Ridge Boys Christmas album. The front is just the boys and a tinsel tree.
The back is a full family photo, complete with spaniel puppy.
These were a good 2 feet out the back of the van.
There's a hike around here that goes by some stone ruins that has become a sanctuary for trolls. this kind of trolls. There are other trolls hidden along the trail in tree stumps and who knows where else.
Last but not least, baby boy figurine.

In a UNC dorm room in 1994, I listened to the the South Carolina band Hootie & the Blowfish CD "Cracked Rear View" many, many times. One song, "Drowning" was about racism, but I never understood the first verse clearly, Darius Rucker kind of mumbles through it. But 21 years later, it's timely. Very timely.
Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?
Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate
Time to make the world a better place
Why must we hate one another?
Well no matter what we gotta live together
Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see
When we pass on the street what do you wanna see
P.E.'s coming is all I gotta say
Wanna turn and run away
They're just telling you how they see it
Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit
chorus:
Drowning in a sea of tears
Hatred trying to hide your fears
Living only for yourself
Hating everybody else
Cause they don't look like you
Nanci singing it's a hard life wherever you go
About some fat racist living in Chicago
Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone
Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?
Why must we hate one another?
When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother
You don't walk like me, ... you don't talk like me, saying
Go back to Africa, I just don't understand
(chorus)
I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but
When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man
No I'm not like you
Why do you hate me so
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you
