Quidditch Trash

You will be hard pressed to find a bigger Harry Potter fan than yours truly. I can't help myself. LOVE IT. I have the books, audio books, and the movies. I will sadly admit I was given a wand for my birthday one year. (What?! It's not like I asked for it. It was thoughtful...) Anywho, even I draw the line well before here. Want to get together in the middle of a college campus with a group of strangers and play Quidditch? Me neither, but if you find someone who does have I got a treat for them! I have questions. What about the snitch? Do you have a tiny winged ball that zooms around the arena? How does the girl in the wheelchair ride her broom? Does she sit in the chair AND on the broom? What about the Muggles? Are these people Muggles? This is courtesy of Sam and Bryn Mawr. Oh, these girls...

"African-American History Month"

I was horrified by this poster when I received the photo. I mean after I stopped laughing and was sure I wasn't going to wet myself. I thought this was offensive but I've asked around and it's about 50/50. Yet another gem from Bryn Mawr. Decide for yourself.

I wish I had a LEXUS

Special thanks to Sarah W. for this fantastic post. Oh trashy Topeka...how I love you so!

Hoard Trash

While I have to thank Other Jeff for this photo, I would like to dedicate this post to my dear friend Jayanna, the only person I know that is more obsessed with hoarders than I am. Jeff also pointed out that the bed of the truck was entirely full. Too bad the phone number on the SALE sign isn't visible.

Dictionary trash

I have been getting the Merriam-Webster Word of the Day for almost two years. There have been some ridiculous words, and some awesome words. I discovered my favorite word of all time using word of the day, but I have also received some e-mails containing words that I don't believe are valid vocabulary builders. (Favorite word = puckish adj. - impish, whimsical. Words that I think could have been skipped are, lollygag, yokel, zany, and wisenheimer) Imagine my dismay when I come across the email from MERRIAM-WEBSTER that contains a word, and then the pronunciation of a totally different word! I love the irony in the two words that are included. I would also like to point out that when I did a spell-check of this document, lollygag, and wisenheimer went unrecognized as words. Total. Dictionary. FAIL.

Bryn Mawr Trash

Sam just sent me this photo via text message and I had to share. Who needs vowels? Srsly? FAIL.

Bark Park Trash

Summer is here. People are outside. People are with their dogs. People are outside with their dogs. And what better place than the Gage Park Hill's Bark Park? I encourage everyone to go...if for no other reason than the people watching. Here we have two fine examples. The first is 80's trash. The second...trashy trash.

Let me tell you something about this little gem of an outfit. It is VERY short grey sweat shorts paired with a grey short-sleeved HALF-sweatshirt! Note the ponytail through the cap, excessive jewelry and try to picture the Marlboro Ultra Light 100s tucked in the back waistband. 80's trash classic!

Now, this little lady is working something very special. I'd seen her at the Bark Park once before (giant raver pants, tiny cammo halter top) and hoped for a repeat show. I was rewarded for my patience. We have here black sweatpants and an iridescent bikini top! You can't see it in the pictures, but this ensemble was complimented by two facial piercings, three terrible tattoos (butterfly anyone?), stretch marks and some truly unfortunate teeth. Trashy trash at its best!
