What I Laugh At While Driving Around

-
I mean when I am not laughing at how stupid some of the conservative response to the passing of the health bill is...

What I am talking about is the wonderful radio advertisements for the Duluth Trading Company. This is a company that makes, among other things, work clothing. Work clothing that makes those old Sears "Toughskin Jeans" seem like chiffon...

Their website has all the links to their TV and radio spots, but I think the radio ads are just funny as hell. Here are my favorites:







Or maybe this is just because I love guy humor?

    Hilarious.

    You know, to be honest, there is so much confusion about what the health care bill says and doesn't say, I can understand why people are assuming. So far, all I have heard are complaints from the financially secure and small business owners, so that's what I commented on in my last post.

    It's good to see you're still doing well!!!

    Ballroom jeans aren't as awesome as pajama jeans.

    BeckEye, trust me, when you have to go "Johnny Bench", ball room jeans are more awesome than Yanni & Kenny G. in an knife fight. Plus a MONKEY!

    Old Dog buys all his clothes from Duluth Trading Company or the Sportsman's Guide (where I used to work). He's going to love these radio spots!

    I have no idea why I get these catalogues, and I always wondered WTF. Most trade guys I know are too frugal to spend that kind of money on work clothes, so I always figured it was a catalogue for doctors or accountants who wanted to look like they knew their ass from a chamfer bit.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
