Hobo Signs

A bunch of bums guiding each other along the road of life.

Goofy story to post... On Saturdays, I take my babygirl out on a date to the park, story time, and then around the town square (you know--to see and be seen). Anyway, the square is cluttered (if not overpopulated) with overpriced women's clothing stores, but you can catch some really good deals when they're trying to dump merchandise. So E and I saw a top that we knew mommy would like love--and they even had (one) in her size. $40 bucks and we're out the door. And we get home to find that, indeed, mommy does love our selection--but are frustrated to find that the sizing (medium--which is historically a sure bet) is off; it's too small. So I return and bicker with the owner for 20 minutes about how this item was going to be exchanged. And during this bickering, I ran into Joey Lauren Adams--who was also out shopping. I come home with another item (of proper size, 8--which is almost always fine). Another $40 bucks, and I'm out the door. ($80 total.) Again--didn't fit; too small. So Court goes back--and again--has to bicker with the owner. And after a while--she found something that she likes. Tries on a medium; too big. Ends up coming home with a size small.

Yeah--E and I will think twice about surprising mommy.

What's with the Rick Astley video, friend?

I'm guessing that it was how Greg chose to illustrate "surprise"... given that back in the day, when most people saw that video after hearing the song, they were, shall we say, quite surprised at Mr. Astley's appearance.

That's my only theory.

You guys have been "Rick Rolled". It's a semi-passe internet practical joke where you mislead people into clicking on a link that takes them to that particular song. You can read about it here, here, and here.

Anyway, the other night, I was Rick Rolling people, and laughing so hard that I couldn't breath. Good times, good times...
