Only In...

You know when you are somewhere and you see something that is just right for the place you are at and you say, "Only In (insert place here) would I see that or would that happen". Like, for example, when we were in Austin, TX and we saw a shirt that said God Bless Texas along with a picture of Willie Nelson giving the middle finger. Only in Texas!


Or when I was shopping in Wal Mart two days ago and a 40-something year old man came sauntering through the meat aisle with a shirt that bore the words "I May Not Be Mr. Right, But I Will F*** You Until He Comes Along". Only in Wal Mart!


Or two days ago when my mom lost her very special bracelet that my dad had made for her while running errands in the town where I grew up. The next day she went back to town to retrace her steps. She had washed her car the previous day so went to check with the owner. She was told to check the trash can because after they sweep up at night they throw all the debris in the trash. When she opened the lid to the can she didn't find her bracelet, but she did find about 50 blue surgical gloves and the lower half of a horse's leg. Only in Montana!


Or how last weekend we kept noticing a trail of dried shiny slime in our house...on the carpet near the toy box, on the wall five feet up from the floor, and in the office leading to the dog kennel. Upon further investigation and after lifting up the floor to Ringo's kennel, Jason discovered a good sized slug living under there. Only in Washington!

Ummmm...I think that your parents may want to consider washing their cars at home from now on--or perhaps moving out of the state of Montana--because that is just sick and WRONG! (Also--sorry she lost her special braclet-that sucks!)

Half a horse leg? WTH? Was that some sort of mafia joke gone awry so they hid the evidence in the car wash, where NO one would think twice of it.

Also, that's pretty impressive of Herb to make a bracelet while at the same time running errands. Most men can't multi task like that.

and finally....sick! Slugs are GNAR... I wonder what he was doing at night, cruising, by himself...alone, in the dark, from room to room.

I know...when I wrote that sentence about the bracelet and the errands I knew it didn't sound right. However, my dad is a handy fellow so you never know.

No worries...bracelet was found at the check out counter of the grocery store:)!--S
