WTF Wednesday: Whine Tasting, Bath Racer

Hello Wednesday. Hello WTF.

Sorry for the sporadicity of posting, there's a lot going on over here I don't want to share quite yet but let's just say thrifting and WTF hunting have been on the back burner.

If that is upsetting, here's five dollars, why don't you head on over to the whine tasting.

Also, here's a man and his dog, taking a bath in half a barrel, filling out a racing form.

Dog racing, horse racing, NASCAR? Yo no se.

WTF Wednesday: Aerobics Record, Shot Put Bribe

Hi Wednesday! Hi WTF!

Every koala bear needs a doll, and every old lady needs a figurine to commemorate them.

Appalachian spring...looks pretty depressing.

I love 80s workout records, and I love the name Joanie.

Last but not least, with all the Olympic fever going on, I was reminded of the time that I threw the shot put for the high school winter track team.  As I recall, my teacher was the coach and they had no girl shot putters that season and I was offered a 100 on a math test in exchange for competing - if I could huck it even 10 feet, our team might get a point or two in the meet, better than zero.  In retrospect, it was a corrupt bribe, and I am no better than crooked shillary, but it makes a WTF picture.
