Only in Alabama #19

Girls in Alabama know how to roll…..in hot pink.

And camo.

See and here I was thinking camo only looked good on men.

You think this was a specialty paint job?

Only In Alabama, Interesting Rebel Flag

I know this week I have totally fallen off the fashion band wagon but that’s because I left my house and saw all these interesting local sites.

And now I’m feeling worldly and must share.

There was something ultra special about the rebel flag with the pit bull drooling and a “Dixie” tag hanging around its neck. Its like extra red neck. It screams…I’m not just a racist, I fight dogs too!

I smell Christmas presents all around!

Only in Alabama…

Well, probably not only in Alabama, but yesterday we were on our way home and got stopped at the light for a funeral procession. I wish I had been quick enough getting the camera out, but the cars in the procession were like:

BMW

Audi

BMW

Mercedes

Mercedes

Lexus

then this car…

We were cracking up…

Halloween 2008 vs Halloween 2009

I would say this is an upgrade…

Only In Alabama…..Mardi Gras

This should actually be “Only in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana”, BUT we have one thing you all don’t have. Mardi Gras at Home Depot. You can shop for a hammer and flash for beads at at the same time.

Awesomely Alabama.

Only In Alabama….the interstate.

I know you live for these! Today my DHs co-worker saw this little Doozey heading up I-65 here and thankfully snapped me a picture to share. There are so many things wrong with this, I wasn’t even sure *what* to point out. But I’m going with the grille.

Total W.T.F moment.

Only In Alabama: The Grammar Police

Now I have had this blog since the end of July….so not even 7 months yet. I get a lot of email regarding a lot of subjects, but the past week I have gotten FOUR, yes FOUR emails explaining to me that my grammar is incorrect on the words:

Your vs You’re

and

Than vs. Then

I didn’t know you all cared so much. Much less four separate people….or maybe its one and she is really insistent on me changing it and has come up with additional aliases….either way, I am starting to think that my site has been printed on a teachers site and they are all coming over to correct me in  a big red pen grammar mob.

The fact is, I am lazy. If spell check says its right, its right. I have seen bloggers SOUND OUT THEIR WORDS and not even spell check, so surely my little grammar no nos are not that heartbreaking. My biggest mistake is skipping words and I usually don’t catch that (if i do at all) till after the post is published. I can read a 500 page book in 2 hours, and have been able to since I was about 8 and my mind is trained to automatically skips words like “the”, “and”, and  “or”. Because of that, I often do it in my typing as well.

So when we were out driving this weekend and I saw this sign down the street from us, I realized………Its NOT me.

Its Alabama.

Its starting to rub off onto me.

ICK! GET THE ALABAMA OFF OF ME. ITS  CONTAGIOUS!!!
