The Inauguration!




Okay... so here it is... my first blog. I am not entirely sure what I hope to accomplish from my rants and raves, or even the extent of my blog content, but I could find no better way to kick things off than with one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile.

The wife and I went to the fabulously cluttered store Hobby Lobby the other day. You know, that store that apparently considers anything and everything having to do with crap you don't need as relating to a "HOBBY". I still can't figure out why the following are hobbies:

1. Pillow-collecting


2. Stupid moronic phrase tin sign collecting


3. Useless imported crap collecting


4. Fake flower decorating

Now I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Women seem to love this store. And my diligent one-step scientific research seems to indicate why... they love to spend small amounts of money to purchase overwhelming amounts of clutter for your house...in other words if its cheap we need it. Again I could go on and on about this philosophy... and I probably will at some point... but enough for now.

Back to my original point... I think I still remember what it was. Oh yes... it was the surprise of my life to find out that, in midst of my 30 minute stroll thru hobby hell (which was 35 minutes longer than I wanted to be there), that you can purchase JUVENILE BOYS for just a small fee!

Wow! I'm not sure what surprises me more, the fact that juvenile boys are going for such a marginal fee, or the fact that this sign was placed near the back of the store! I mean... come on... a sale this big should be advertised at the very front... and I'm talking giant banner style across the fasad! And I don't even recall seeing this in the newspaper ad... whats up with that! Hobby Lobby, I might suggest your marketing department get their heads on straight. I don't know what the true demand is out there for Juvenile Boy Collecting... but if its anything like it is in Southeast Asia, then you're missing your market!
Okay I shall digress. As I think about this I should probably keep this rant on the low-down... that low everyday price on juvenile boys may not last for long... and I'm gonna beat you all to the punch and quickly stock up!
And that is as deep as it gets!

  1. Hobby Lobby sells the India Ink for making your own "homemade" tattoo's. That's super awesome.
