ATM

 

Medieval* Fair this weekend in my town.  The Geek and I made a point of stopping at a convenience store for some cash before we arrived, but as we were parking I thought to myself: "I'm sure there will be ATMs set up there.  We probably didn't need to stop first." 

I was right.  I saw at least 4 of them scattered about.  Amazing, really, that they can just move those things in and out.  And who, by-the-way, profits from this little cottage industry (I mean, other than your bank.  Who profits for the sole reason of you keeping your money there. Because it cost them SO MUCH to have you withdraw your own money from a machine)?  Are they franchises?   

On another note, I hesitated to use yet another ATM shot, as that seems to be my go-to theme recently, but honestly I thought this was the best of the bunch. -> 

*It's taken me over 4 decades, but I can now spell "medieval" correctly without having to look it up.

Say me: I went to a rodeo tonight. 

Say you: Come again? 

Say me: I know, right?  

The pic above depicts a price tag on a saddle that was displayed and obviously for sale: 

For the full write-up, because you know I can't go to a rodeo without one, you can go here.  ->

I Think I Do

It's SO CUTE, right?  He's a bit reluctant about the whole marriage thing, so she's pulling him to the ceremony.  What you can't tell from the angle, but which adds that extra touch to make it all come together like a raspberry and creme confection, is the tracks his fingers are leaving in the floor.  Every bride wants this image on the top of her cake. 

  

The description on the box labeled this as "humorous" and "whimsical".   

Yeah....they forgot "classy".  

Although I must say this little gem inspired me to make a new tag for my entries:  Cheap Crap Made in China.  ->
