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.

WTF Wednesday: Weiner Nougat, Synchronized Peeing

It's Wednesday! It's WTF!

Some weeks have more WTF than others, but this one had less. I'd done so much thrifting the week before that I skipped last week, but I still have this to present to you today.

While researching the age-old question, "What IS nougat?"* I came across this product. 



Wiener nougat.

Wiener in the Vienna sense of the word.

Last but not least, the couple who pees together...

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.

deja vu daily puppy!


this is a momentous day for 2 reasons: 1) i survived; and 2) the daily puppy re-ran pouncey as their puppy of the day!

sitting in 9th grade biology class, we were talking about diabetes and the teacher mentioned sufferers may have a shortened lifespan. at this moment i was struck with the feeling i, myself, diabetes-free, would die at 38. i have not obsessed over this, but i have remembered it vaguely from time to time for the past 23 years. i am glad to say my premonition was horseshit! i made it! 

now go over to the daily puppy and give pouncey 11 biscuits...again.

WTF Wednesday: Mini Me, Singing Shapes, Cooking Kids

Bon jour, Wednesday! Bon jour WTF!

I spent last week at the beach in Georgia for a fun family vacation. Riding in the car to the grocery store, my 7 year old niece was playing with my phone and came upon the WTF Flickr stream of photos, and we laughed for 10 minutes as she read the titles for every one. We didn't call them WTF, we called them 'weird things.' When we got to the grocery store, she suggested we look for weird things to take pictures of. My heart leapt into the atmosphere! 

These are the two weird things she found completely by herself.
