Say "No" To Crack

This Longtail "T" was the featured product in the Deluth Trading Company catalog I got yesterday. It's a real lifesaver for plumbing customers everywhere. The description goes "Sharing a little too much information? In 2002, in the cause of modesty and good taste we introduced the Longtail "T"....solving an age-old problem: The infamous, much feared Plumber's Butt.

The kicker is that it comes in a bucket labeled "Crack Spackle". Whew, problem solved!

What they won't think of next. Crack Spackle - that's so funny!

i remember as a youngster fearing that my oversized hand-me-downs might accidently slip down, i even had night-mares about it. some in our community would hike their britches up with suspenders or other means to the point of appearing painful. now i watch our young men constantly adjusting their britches to the lowest possible limit and i wonder what it all means. Philip Gulley says, "i'm still conservative enough to think a guy with half his hind-parts exposed ought to be holding a pipe wrench." i agree with Phil and thank you jenlo for exposing this issue once again and unveiling a long-needed solution.

I have seen these before, but not packaged like that! What a hilarious gift for that "handy" guy in your life!

Someone has a great sense of humor - and a great advertising sense.

I wish someone would start making these for tweens and teens and women of all ages - I'm sick of seeing all their cracks too!

The DeLuth Trading Company - my Hubby's new favorite catalog! His birthday is coming up and he did point out this product to me. Not sure if I'm going to get him that, though, or the handyman Christmas stocking. So many choices!

This is no joke. The other night at the Fall Festival we attended my husband (who jokes with me all the time) said under his breath, "You have GOT to look over there!" While our precious little Chinese playgroup girls were playing some preschool game I looked over "there" and was greeted with at least a FOUR or FIVE inch CRACK from a "plump" mom squatting down to help her own child. It took everything I had to not take a picture and post it on my blog! She surely needs the Bucket-O-Crack-Spackle!!

Little Chic's New Do

I have been bugging Little Chic to cut her waist-length hair for a long time. She did take about 4 inches off it about two months ago, and ever since, has been toying with the idea of something drastic and cool. Today was the day! I love it, but it's a little sad too--seeing how it makes her look all mature and teenager-ish.

Stickin' It Out

I got married today. Well, not exactly today. It was Friday, June 2. But the year was 1989 - 17 years ago. "Amazing", people say. "Good for you", they comment. "You must have picked the right one", the add. Amazing? Yes. Good for me? I'll admit it. But it has nothing to do with picking the right one, really. It's not because I found the perfect boy, and it's certainly not because he found the perfect girl. It might sound a little unromantic, but there never really is a 'right one' floating around out there waiting in the cosmos for the other 'right one' to crash and connect. There may be 'better ones'; there may be 'more easily compatible' or something or other. But the real story is you start becoming the right one the moment you vow that "you do". When I married, I had been 20 for a whole 33 days, we had just completed a 2-year long-distance realtionship and HE was five years older tha

"Huncle" Dave

This guy's my uncle. He's 8 years older than me. With my dad being the oldest of 10 kids, my grandma still had kids at home by the time my dad was getting started with life. This guy was my hero when I was growing up--sort of the big brother role, but with a little more novelty than a constant bully and boss hanging around. He certainly did his share of bossing and bullying, but I took it all in stride since I thought he was an incredibly big deal. Since he was the youngest of 10 kids, but older than all the grandkids, he took full advantage and made the best of his position in life. One aspect of him being more 'mature and world-wise' was that he required treatment of proper respect and authority. Thus, I, and my cousins, were expected to boost his ego by calling him by his rightful name "Huncle". This classy moniker had the unique combination of the relationship (uncle) and his self-proclamation of him being a teenage 'hunk'. Since growing up,
