Sounds legit!!!

Watermelons and Firearms...hmmm...

Let's see if anyone can come up with a caption to this one. I'm stumped!

Don't be That Guy!

I don't want any of you to get jealous, but my daughter and I are going to see The Jonas Brothers this weekend. I thought for sure that whatever I wear/do etc. will be embarrassing to her, but never imagined that it might be the other way around. While discussing the uber important subject of what to wear to said concert, my daughter said she wanted to buy the concert t-shirt THERE and wear it. WHAT!? What kind of new generation do we have? No one wears the t-shirt of the band you're going to see; not to mention the actual one from that concert! Embarrassing!

I thought I would take this time to school some of the younger generation on the the very delicate issue of concert t-shirts wearing etiquette. They are not to be worn whenever you feel like it. There are time tested rules that should never be ignored.

Please fell free to add new rules if I have forgotten anything.

1. It is a total violation to wear the t-shirt that you bought at that very concert. (The violation is even more offensive if worn over the clothes you got there in.)

2. It is a violation to wear a concert t-shirt that you bought less than three weeks ago.

3. It's a violation to wear any shirt from the band you're watching unless you bought it over ten years ago and the band has all the same original members. Example, wearing a Van Halen shirt from 1984 to a Van Halen concert with Sammy Hagar in 1993 is not appropriate even though the required ten years have passed.

4. If you must wear a concert tee to a concert, please keep it to the same genre of music. However, the "I'm being ironic concert shirt" is always appropriate. A good example here would be to wear a Michael Bolton shirt to a Metallica concert.

These are only a few guidlines. I'm sure I missed a few. Just know that violating and one of these rules results in you being "that guy" .

Trust me, no one wants to be that guy.

I'm a Jerk

Now I feel bad! Everything went well yesterday! I had a few hours to myself and the kids had a great time with Nana! Maybe it'll happen again in the next nine years!

And now for the winners of the caption this contest from Wednesday.

Honorable mentions are:

Reforming Geek had an observation that we have all had at one time.

"I guess I should have eaten something before finishing off that bottle of wine."

Last week's winner, cIII, had a funny with

Just par for the Course at BlogHer '09.

Now for the winning caption courtesy of Bill's Bayou:

Knowing that even bad publicity is good publicity, Courtney Love "accidentally" fell down but forgot to forget her panties.

Thanks again everyone for playing! Have a great weekend!

Thanks for Letting Me Vent!

Today my mother in law is coming down to our house and taking the kids out for a few hours for some shopping and some lunch. Fun for everyone, right? The kids get to hang out with their nana and I get to have a few free hours! I'm very excited! There has to be a catch. My daughter is almost nine years old and she has never done this before. Never! There has to be a catch. I know this day won't be working out the way I want it to.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Speaking of Vegas...

If you want to have the glory of the the Mom Likes Me Best Award, why not give this image the caption it needs?! Just make me laugh.
