Once again, I have opened my home my blog to all of you good people out there, and had you all send me your very own submissions to be used for this week’s whacked. And you did not disappoint. Here they are:
The first of our submissions is from the very shutter happy and always eagle-eyed Jana of Shut the Front Door. For this week’s whacked she has captured the always elusive, but frequently nutty Squirrel Car.
I guess it’s good to let everyone know. I mean, she’s proud to be a black girl! Rock on, sistah. Just be careful of the po-po. You’re kinda making it easy on them to profile you, is all I’m saying.
Next we have a submission from my homegirl Becca, from I’m Pretty Sure That. She caught this wonderful license plate, which is sort of unintentionally boastful about the driver’s sexual prowess:
Next is a shot taken on the move by Jaclyn of Nursery Rhymes and Curse Words.
I will let Jaclyn explain: I think it would be less weird if the entire outfit was from an aerobics video in 1985, but the shoes and blazer with her hot pink, shiny lycra leggings was just about the oddest thing I’ve ever seen.
And once again, children . . . leggings as pants = wrong. I don’t care if you ARE in an 80′s work out video with Jane Fonda!!
Next we have Bill from The Authentic Life, who is always on the look out for scantily dressed menfolk to take pictures of. To send to me, of course. Only for that purpose, alone!
This was taken in Vegas, by the way. So that makes a little more sense, right?
Next is Jayne of Ach du Lieber, Jayne. She apparently happened upon some sort of biker rally (or maybe participated in?), and captured some truly exquisite sights:
Are bikers supposed to have faux hawks? Isn’t that a bit too un-hardcore? Kinda the antithesis of the biker creed, no?
And then this gem:
And she was a good girl and made sure she waited to get the backside view as well:
Our next submission is from my good friend Red of Doesn’t Speak Klingon. She happened upon these lovely items in a store near her newly relocated abode:
So, either she was in a some country and western type store that caters to rednecks, or was raiding Larry the Cable Guy’s closet. Either way, there is some fine fashion in her area.
Red captured this one at a fair. She was so fearful that this poor girl’s phone was gonna fall right out of her mesh see through pocket!!
I think this is the country fair version of matching jogging suits. The couple coordinated with their black t-shirts, camo shorts and cowboy boots. Awww, ain’t they just as cute as a sow’s ear?
And following up on this look is Brett of The Transformed Nonconformist, who is Red’s boyfriend and was also at this same fair with her. He captured this:
Yeah, wearing your cowboy boots with daisy dukes is really a look that never goes out of style, is it? Hello?
Next is my good friend Leauxra of Does This Make My Blog Look Fat. She captured some very interesting items:
That is some mad skill right there, y’all. Just riding along on his unicycle, off to work or school or maybe his job as a stripper? But that takes some major concentration to ride on that thing, I’m sure. Too much to remember to wear a shirt, apparently.
I will freely admit that when Leauxra sent this to me, I totally didn’t get it. Then she explained that Cthulhu is a character from one of H.P. Lovecraft’s stories. I have not read much (any?) Lovecraft, so I was totally in the dark. Apparently, he is the ultimate evil creature. So there you go. Now this makes perfect sense!!
This next one is from my good friend Thoughtsy from Thoughts Appear. She caught a pic of this sweet young thang just walking along in her best short, sparkly, off the shoulder dress, clunky heals and shiny turquoise purse:
The thing is . . . according to Thoughtsy, this was not a young thing at all, but a woman in her mid-60′s. Rock on, slutty gramma!!
—————————————————————————————————————-
I realized mid-way through doing this post that I have just too many submissions. Yeah, I’m a really good planner like that. Shut it. So, what I am going to do is make this a 2-parter. This will be our first installment of submitted pics, and next Friday I will post on the rest of the awesome submissions. So Val, Jen, Mandi, Gen & Jules . . . I have not forsaken you or your fantastic submissions. I will show them next week, I promise!
But what this also means is that you have more time!! I will give everyone until next Wednesday, June 27th, to send me any other pics you might have or will take between now and then. Get those cameras out and start snapping. With this ridiculously hot weather we are having (at least in my area), there are some fine specimens of nearly clothed people. Document that shiz and send it on over. mistyslaws at gmail dot com.

Red was in my dad’s closet. Sad but true. I know that she was just in Iowa… so… yeah.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:52:39
Wow. So your dad is a trendsetter is what you’re saying, eh Johi?? Is this where you get your fashion sense? I’ve seen the green suit, is all I’m saying.
Jun 22, 2012 @ 11:14:41
Holy crap. That squirrel car is a thing of… ah… beauty?
I wonder if real squirrels ever come to check it out.
I wonder if they are trophies…. the squirells he has won… like paining a picture of all the planes you shot down in WWI.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:37:47
My theory is that squirrels DO come to visit . . . and then never leave. He probably shellacks the entire thing with crazy glue so when the squirrels are like, “wait, Harry? Is that you?” and climb up to see . . . stuck forever! If we got closer, we would probably see squirrels with looks of terror on their little faces.
Jun 22, 2012 @ 11:34:59
This is just such a great way to wake up in the morning. Seriously.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:38:04
Ha! Why thank you, ma dear. I try.
Jun 22, 2012 @ 12:55:06
I’m sensing some bias about police profiling. Maybe I am reading you wrong. On the other hand, where is Red? I need at least a couple of those shirts. Why take the arms off yourself when you can buy it done already!? Fantastic.
Jun 22, 2012 @ 20:22:05
(The store I was in is called Rural King. It is an awesome store for rural mid-America. It’s a fairly big chain out here in the midwest …and points south, I think.)
Jun 23, 2012 @ 17:19:51
Thanks, Red! Sounds a long way from Canada, but you never know.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:47:32
ROAD TRIP!!!
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:41:29
Well, now we know what to get Mark for his birthday!
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:38:27
Bias? Moi? Why, I never!
Jun 22, 2012 @ 15:03:44
That guy riding a unicycle may be the best picture EVAH! Seriously. Who rides a unicycle anywhere but in a circus tent? (no, don’t ask)
Love this bit!!!
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:38:59
Yes, that one definitely is a thing of beauty. Leauxra was on her GAME that day, for sure, to get that shot!
Jun 22, 2012 @ 16:06:38
Hey! I wear cowboy boots with camo shorts (my boots are way more awesome though). My husband, however, does not.
Those hot pink lycra leggings are terrible. How many freaking times do we have to go over this?? Leggings, especially shiny pink ones, are not pants. Wear a shirt that covers the booty!
Jun 26, 2012 @ 10:35:59
I saw neon green ones at the airport this weekend. I wasn’t quick enough to snap a pic though.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:50:48
You need to practice your reaction times, girl!! I need pictures!
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:39:50
Well, you get a pass. But only because you are awesome. And because you don’t coordinate with your husband.
They just don’t get it, Vesta. No matter how many times we say it. Le Sigh.
Jun 22, 2012 @ 16:08:22
That unicycle picture is just road rash waiting to happen. CRINGE.
I actually know who/what Cthulhu is, and laughed. Lovecraft writes horror, but not Stephen King type horror where you end up scared of your dog, your car, staying in hotels, winter…. It’s more the type of horror where horrible monsters lurk in the deep and can SAFELY BE IGNORED, yay!
I wonder about the thought processes in the short shorts/cowboy boot thing. No wait, I don’t wonder. It’s just a natural progression of the denim mini with cowboy boots. Because if you wear one sexy thing, that’s just normal but if you wear two sexy things together then the universe will explode with your awesomeness. And if you look like sexy granny up there, you’re creating your own black hole of sexy. Go, you!
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:41:10
Ha! Stephen King made me terrified of AIR. Seriously, how do you get over that? Air, people.
There is so much sexiness in this one post, it might be the sexiest post of all time in the entire blogiverse, infinity!
Jun 22, 2012 @ 20:24:27
Misty, for a different take on Cthulhu, check out Gods Playing Poker from my blogroll. I have to say, seeing those pics Brett and I sent you kind of brought tears to my eyes. It was a really awesome day together.
Sorry, I’m very self-absorbed in this caes.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:42:16
Aww, I love it when whacked posts bring a tear to someone’s eye. It’s usually for entirely different reasons, but still valid in this case.
Jun 22, 2012 @ 22:27:30
Damn! I did not see those shirts in time for father’s day!
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:42:52
Maybe for his birthday? Christmas/Hanukah? When would those shirts NOT be an appropriate gift, really?
Jun 22, 2012 @ 23:53:19
Red and I got a lot of great pictures that day, but my phone does not take the best pictures. I am trying to just have my actual camera ready at all times. It makes it a little harder to be a ninja photographer.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:43:34
Yeah, people tend to notice if you are pointing a huge zoom lens right at them. Then again, serves them right for being whacked. Just try not to point it at people with guns, k?
Jun 23, 2012 @ 06:59:15
Rock on slut gramma indeed!
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:43:52
She is shmokin!!
Jun 23, 2012 @ 09:42:24
I saw a white guy with a jerry curl afro wearing a visor and running shorts with matching wrist and ankle bands yesterday. I tried to catch a pic of him, but that bastard was faster than he looked. Damn him…
Also, I love unicycle man… I need to live in a town where there are more unicycles.
Hugs!
Valerie
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:45:20
Yeah, those runners are difficult to catch on camera. I have had more people tell me about the running guy/girl looking crazy that they tried to get a pic of, only to have them run away too fast. It’s ok. I still love you!
I’m not sure that town exists. Leauxra is in Colorado, but I don’t know that there is necessarily a community of these peeps. I think this might be a lone cyclist.
Jun 23, 2012 @ 12:14:05
Misty, it really is such an imposition taking pictures of these scantily clad men, all for you and you alone. But I do it, because you take such hilarious pictures for me. That is what you call a win-win.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:46:49
I so appreciate the sacrifice you are making for
your countryme! Your service is greatly appreciated. I will keep on the front lines as well. Keep at it!! We will win this war, eventually.Jun 23, 2012 @ 16:10:53
reading these posts makes me feel better about me…. (is that what’s supposed to happen?) … well it does… yay!
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:47:22
It is the unintended side effect. I’m glad to boost your self-esteem!
Jun 24, 2012 @ 18:40:07
Why is it that those flannel sleeveless tops bother me most of all. I would rather sit in the passenger seat of a squirrel car than be forced to walk down the street with a guy who can’t decide if he’s Grizzly Adams or The Situation.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:48:15
Shhhh, squirrel man might be listening. Don’t temp him to snatch you and tie you up in the squirrel car!
Jun 25, 2012 @ 03:19:53
Can’t WAIT for part two! It’s okay to love these pics, right?
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:48:46
Of COURSE!! How could you not love them?? They are so wonderfully awful!
Jun 25, 2012 @ 10:12:15
I was just reading this when you commented on my blog – we’re like blog soul mates
But – this one didn’t show up in my reader on Friday?! GRRRR.
Those pink stretch pants are AMAZING. WAY more amazing than my submission, LOL, but I had all the faith in the whacked world that you didn’t forget
And now I see something about ‘staches in your next post. OMG. I cannot wait.
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:50:09
Kindred spirits, we are. Pass the booze!
That reader is whacked! That’s why I don’t use it. Stupid reader.
Those pink pants. I feel like maybe you have a pair in your closet, hmmm? They just seem like something you would non-guiltily love.
Jun 25, 2012 @ 12:16:29
Ha ha….I love them ALL!
Jun 29, 2012 @ 09:50:18
Thanks!
Aug 04, 2012 @ 08:48:36
I love these! But I don’t want to be a s.utty gramma.
I don’t think, anyway.
Maybe. I guess we’ll see.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 13:33:36
I think there may be a market for slutty grandmas. They are the new cougars!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 16:46:50
I’d kind of like my son to get out of high school before I think of this. Is that okay?
