I Wish I Were Kidding

This morning as I was driving to work (before I realized that I should have been driving to my Doctor’s office… JUST barely made that appointment, oops!), for about a block I was next to a truck pulling what appeared to be some kind of ATV/Dune Buggy thing.  Both vehicles were plastered with magnets and decals.  Not several different magnets and decals, mind you.  No.  It was all the same.  I fumbled for my camera, but he turned down a side street and I decided not to try to follow him… which is a good thing.  I never would have made my doctor’s appointment if I had spent the morning following around a truck plastered with:

"Crackeads Gone Wild South Carolina."

There was something about a top-selling DVD… and there was a phone number… that I did not write down… since I was too busy looking for my camera and trying not to run off the road.  But a little Google searching showed me that this is an actual, real, underground thing that people are doing.  "Crackheads Gone Wild."  

First of all… WHAT??!!?

Second of all… Way to go SC, getting on the "Crackheads Gone Wild" map.  Movin’ on up! 

Third of all… how much do you think it’s going to up the hits to this blog, now that I have said "Crackheads Gone Wild" four times? 

Not on the Test

Remember when you were in school, and you got to study theatre and art and music and stuff?  Remember how totally useless all that artsy-fartsy crap is?  Well, this morning Miss Traysie sent on Tom Chapin’s love letter to teaching to the test.  Enjoy!

 

And then… call legislators and teachers and everyone you know to remind them that those silly artsy-fartsy things are what make us human! 

I’ll post something more trivial and less socially responsible later… I promise.
