Sometimes we snap pics while we are driving, other times we might be eating or walking or whatever we happen to be doing where something doesn’t make a lot of sense.  Or perhaps the irony of it all just goes overboard.  Whatever the case, this is one of those posts - and honestly it is a dump of pics we have snapped over time and just forgot to post for whatever reason (we GET BUSY WITH LIFE OK!).

So enjoy this batch of nonsense… hope it leads into your holiday weekend nicely.

Oh and one last thing… I apologize for the picture quality on most of these.  They are normally taken with my phone and well my phone is a phone… not a camera or camcorder or dvd player or Baskin Robbins.  So deal with it.

This first one is one I snapped while driving home and realized that this person really doesn’t know the purpose of a back window.  Or maybe I do not know the purpose.  Amongst all the stuff on the back window, the sticker claiming the high school, the stickers claiming colleges and then the supporting of some kind of organization…  you find the overall thing of graduating in 2008.  The topper… the fact that a bird tagged the car as well with its special message… POOOOOOP.

With this next one, it just seemed funny because the bumper sticker said… “Bad Boys Drive Bad Toys”.  I have to agree completely with this one… this is one BAD toy.  Bad bad bad.  Perhaps this “bad toy” was bad in the early 80’s eh?

I have actually ate the foods sold by this next company, however… it still doesn’t make the name appropriate if you put a big friendly bear on it.  **shakes head**

And when did toothpicks start going bad?  Better check yours.

Once again… seeing things like this when it is upwards of 90 degrees outside (hell, even on a cold day) - makes me LOVE my job.

All these rappers claim Compton and how gangster it is… you can barely make out this sign - but it is Compton.  Doesn’t look all that hard to me?

And finally… this wasn’t snapped by me, but it was on our local news.  I think we found the Bad Boy driving the Bad Toy from above.  This guy deserved to be arrested with hair like this.

I don’t normally condone forwards but if it is funny or pertains to my life in general - I let it slide.  So this one hit my inbox yesterday morning and since I haven’t been around to post lately, I had to share with you guys & gals.

So if your a BBQ fan, or a woman… or a man… yup that covers everyone - then you should enjoy this one.

BBQ  RULES
We are entering the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it’s the only type of cooking a ‘real’ man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine…
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill — beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:
(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine…
(5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.   

Important again:
(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine…
(8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:
(10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ‘her night off,’ And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there’s just no pleasing some women….

Another installment… because we love to point out strange things and try to gain fame in the process.  Not really, we just like to show the intranet what life is like through our eyes.  While endangering people on the road while we snap pics.

Watch out if you are in our area.

This first one we snapped while taking a walk this past weekend.  This lil dog head was just laying by the fence.  Sad really.  

HAHHhAhhAhahhHAoahoahoahoahAHAHIIHAHAHA

Just kidding - obviously it was sticking her (I think all poodles are girls?) head out of the fence… but looked funny.

This next one was found while eating… not driving or walking… I just didn’t want to include it in the title.  Sue me.  No don’t. 

 I know you are going… so what is so cool about the #2.  Well that my friends… is a FRENCH FRY!  That is what is so cool about it.  Not only that, but it was the LAST french fry.  Even cooler.

Ok - last one… this one isn’t funny at all.  Actually it is just cool that someone is doing this.  This house is on the way home from work and I drive past it everyday and think… that is cool.  So this time I snapped a picture of it. 

Using your alley as a place to grow veggies is a great idea.  These peole are doing it and I admire them for it.  We are about to plant sunflowers in our alley (once it is totally cleaned up) so that we can do our part for the bees.  Did you know our bees are dying?  If not, you will soon enough.  The day we run out of honey… you will know.  You have no clue what all uses honey… but you will soon, if we don’t fix this problem.

Going to have to start dropping these little gems when we can… what better time to start that now.

“how to deter aunts from the garden”

Well of course you wouldn’t want a bunch of aunts running a muck in the garden, would you?  I’m sure “aunt” Deb wouldn’t find this one very funny.  But in her case, 100 degree heat seems to do the trick.  Right Deb?

This damn intraweb and its golden nuggets it lays in our laps each day.  Thank you intraweb Gods.   You made my night.

Why would they land here you might ask?  Organic Ant Aunt Control For Your Garden… of course.

It was bound to happen… you blog, you get tagged.  It is the law of the land.  These surveys, “meme”s and all that… they have been around as long as blogs have, so it was just a matter of time before the Double D got hit by one.

We don’t mind, Deb over at Aunt Deb’s Garden tagged us and so we are now forced (due to intra-web peer pressure) to participate.  Just wait… your chance is coming. ;)  Por favor believe it.

So here goes nothing…

the rules… 

Link to the person who tagged you.
Post six random things about yourself.
Tag six people.
Let each person know they have been tagged by commenting on their blog.
Let the blogger who tagged you know that your entry is up.

Simple enough… Shala and I are going to tag-team this, so it will be easier. haha

1. We are headed on our first cruise this year as a late celebration of our 5th anniversary.

2. Both of us have an extra vertebrae… we are worried our kids might have tails.

3. We have 10 nieces & nephews already - only 3 are boys.  Oh… and neither one of us is 30 yet!

4. Our new puppy (Izzy) has an obsession with eating sprinklers.  She is not on the good list.

5. James is afraid of spiders.  In a real, girly, run and hide, spray with whatever in the world you can find - way.

6. The joys and frustrations of home ownership has far exceeded our expectations.  To say the least.

Who do we tag?  Well… as much fun as these things really are - we are just going to tag a few.  It is up to you if you want to participate, we won’t hold it against you if you do not.  The internets might.

ghost, tim, megan, benny and anyone else (mari, anna, patty… all you lurkers!  MOM! DONNIE!) that would like to do it in the comments area.
