…means that you probably have to pop a few more Xanax than the average person.

Have you ever wandered around your neighborhood after an election and thought to yourself, “I wish I had some use for all these leftover campaign signs.”

Well I don’t. I just pull ‘em out of the ground and stick ‘em on my neighbor’s lawn:

Please! Knock on my neighbor’s door at midnight to vote!

A south-facing view of their yard.

My, oh my! A fellow Libertarian? Well land sakes! Because you know that Barr-Root sign sure as hell wasn’t leftover from my yard.

…and one to grow on!

I must admit that I’m a little fearful of going to sleep tonight.

So we here at Matulich Manor have family friends who works for a Really Giant F-ing Athletic Shoe And Apparel Company. Last week this friend attended a corporate event at which attendees were asked to wear costumes. Apparently he decided that Rick James attire was in order. Did  I mention that this event took place in Beaverton, Oregon?

Um, yeah. It would appear that our friend doesn’t have a particularly strong sense of self preservation.

…or a wife who shies away from forwarding photos. For this I am grateful since – if she had considered the ramifications of distributing this – she might have considered the possibility that it would end up on my blog and refrained from hitting “send”.

Ryan as Rick James

Just do it. Indeed.

Our neighborhood is a fair amount diverse. This means two things; the first is that liberal white university types with overdeveloped guilt complexes are moving here in mother-fucking droves.

The second is that being slipped my neighbor’s mail by mistake yields results that are way more fun than some dogawful J. Crew or Pottery Barn catalog:

 Jet Magazine

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to run this nextdoor and check to see if the neighbors have my issue of Honky.
