Remember when we played that game of football and couldn't stop laughing? (ask the shoulder-sitting models on the board game "LifeStories").

Here's a book - Dogs n Stuff.

Filled with nothing but dogs and stuff - no text, no explanations, just a terrier poking through a bathing suit.

A piglet in each arm and creepy human fingers.

Last but not least, a cat with a massive head.

Friend Promotion Friday: WNC Debt Law


Hello and welcome to the inaugural edition of Friend Promotion Friday!

Self-promotion may be hard and awkward, but friend promotion is easy and fun. 

The first friend(s) I'd like to promote are Asheville bankruptcy lawyer - WNC Debt Law - The Law Offices of Kevin J Radey

http://www.wncdebtlaw.com/

If you are in Western North Carolina and are having trouble paying your bills, WNC Debt Law can help. 

Kevin Radey has been my live-in boyfriend and joint tenant with right of survivorship for the past 8 years, and I can guarantee there is nobody out there more dedicated to protecting the rights of consumer debtors in the face of big banks.  The majority of his clients find themselves in his office after medical bills, job loss, and divorce.  He is hell bent on making sure debtors are treated fairly. Kevin has a huge heart, and is compassionate and relentless in his pursuit of achieving the best results for his clients.  He works with bankruptcy and student loan cases. 

Michelle Rogers is Kevin's assistant, and she has been a dear, dear friend to me for the past 9 years. She is extremely positive and friendly and and excellent communicator who helps clients collect their documents and makes sure their cases run smoothly.

You don't have to take it from me, check out their Google reviews. Keep in mind how uncomfortable it might be for clients to have their public Google accounts associated with a personal bankruptcy, and see how intent they are on expressing gratitude anyway. 


I am going to try to put photos in these Friend Promotion Friday posts of the friends wearing Skippy Haha Vintage t-shirts. Luckily, Kevin wears nothing but SHV t-shirts, and Michelle did some modeling for me back in the day. 



I sincerely hope nobody reading this needs their services, but if you do, there is no better office to call.

I also have 2 announcements: 1. I am going to start another weekly blog feature this week: Friend Promotion Friday - because self promotion is sucky and awkward, but friend promotion is fun; and 2. skippyhaha.com is officially under construction - and should emerge very shortly in a MUCH simpler format with products linked automatically to my Etsy shop. Thanks for your support and patience, in the mean time, SHV Etsy is the same as ever.

WTF Wednesday: Sump Pump for Your Stomach


The FDA has just approved this device. 

http://www.koaa.com/story/32220969/fda-approves-stomach-draining-obesity-treatment?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_KOAA_5


It sucks the food out of your stomach and dumps it in the toilet before the calories stick to your butt.
The AspireAssist system consists of a thin tube implanted in the stomach, connecting to an outside port on the skin of the belly. About 20 minutes after finishing a meal, users connect the port to an external device, which drains some of the recently-consumed food into the toilet.

WTF Wednesday: Raggedy Family, Bernie Sanders Year One Photos


Hey Wednesday! Hey WTF!

Hello Raggedy family in Oklahoma! (thanks, kid D!)


https://www.instagram.com/p/BFT3TJZQK7EYCwldXt09DT4OYM_rzrndTYh-N00/

Moving on to something equally WTF in a less creepy way - feast your eyes on Bernie Sanders' past year in photos - The Political Revolution: Year One

Starting out May 2015 in Burlington, Vermont,


Through last summer in Texas,


 August in Los Angeles,


Stunning display of compassion,


After stunning display of compassion,


He has done some incredible things,


And inspired an incredible number of people,


Like a goddamn Beatles concert,


With his family by his side,


 All day,


Every day,


For more than a year.


How he has the energy for event after event, week after week, I will never know, though it must feel great to be saying the same things you've been saying to empty rooms, only now to overflow stadiums full of cheering people. 

Dozens more photos here: The Political Revolution: Year One.

Last but not least, here is Pouncey, who at 4 years old, still sucks on pillows if he goes 2 days without a hike. Here he's made a bosom from his dog bed and sucked on it for a half hour.
